Jezus is echt

Luisteren naar “Jezus is real”.

Perfecte plek

De sfeer is bijzonder. Hij speelt echt goed! Mijn dag kan niet meer stuk.

Paradiso – to loud

A shame, The sound of the instruments drowned out the rappers.

Der Orgelspieler

On my way back to the apartment he was making summer feel even more festive.

Niel Young on SXSW2006

Just stumbled upon these video registrations of SXSW through an article at wearethemedia (indirectly) the old and wise icon of music Niel Young had some great things to say. I think it’s true for all creative processes. Some quotes: …It’s like a stream of conscienceness I try not to think about it … you should

Black Eyed Peas – Pump It

Trying to figure out why I watched and listened to the clip repeatedly for say 40 times.

Is it the fun, the quite (deliberately) not perfect clip, the background classic, the nice clapping, the nice rhythm, the lyrics, the kick ass, the great mix of weird sounds, the great finish at the end, the shortness? Your guess is as good as mine.

Services I recently discovered

Roaming the wild west web there are some interesting services being created. This is a list of those I recently discovered.

Mixing lecture and music

On my way back from the lecture at De Waag I impulsively hit my brakes while passing the Desmet studio’s on the Plantage Middenlaan. Started talking to the big but friendly bouncer and after a while he invited me in. He warned me that it wouldn’t be anything spectacular today. But he was wrong. Three

Falsa

The rehearsal of Falsa (they already changed their name like they do every month). Took me a month to finalize. The footage itself was spontaneous and the pieces where to solated (image and music wise) to create a continuing flow. Pieter-Jan used the same footage. So we now have two directors cuts. Click on the

3voor12

Loads of live streaming music and interviews. The biggest in the world. They are not international (yet). So the site is only in Dutch. The bands are international. You can listen to alternative, dance, hiphop and RNB, outer limits, punk and metal, roots, world. With this link you are at the startingpoint of the website.

Nid + Sancy

The first time I heard the music of Nid + Sancy I thought Drillem had a new name. No, no. It’s the same mix (boy-girl) same genre but more “manly” electronic pop-rock. artist: Nid + Sancywebsite: www.nidandsancy.com VPRO: Nid + Sancygenre: electronic pop punk-rockorigin: Belgium

El Guapo Stuntteam

Searching fabchannel for persons that make beautiful music. Finally found some people just making music: El Guapo Stuntteam using their guitars as the extension of their manhood.

More? Try Peter Pan Speedrock.

Solex (at the VPRO)

Freaky woman-duo from the Netherlands playing synthesiser and drums. Alternative sounds and lyrics sung by nice women voices. It rocks! Solex

The Subways

The Subways are sweet and powerful at the same time. Some interesting new sounds as background noise. Triggers my brain. The Subways on Spotify

Buck 65

I listened to Buck 65 as one of the sessions of Motel Mozaique on the VPRO. He uses mixes as his instrument and rough vocals to tell his personal stories about life. He is totally unique. It’s a kind of hip-hop but not. Artist: Buck 65Song: ?Genre: alternativeRecorded: 3VOOR12 Sessie op Motel Mozaique 2004Listen to

Ozark Henry

Nice and loveable music. Mostly one mab and a piano. Something like Billy Joel of the 21 century but better. Ozark Henry at 3voor12.vpro.nl

Genre: pop

zZz

Funcky organ music by Daan Schinkel together with the drummer Bjorn Ottenheim who is also singing. Wild. Artist: zZzWebsite: soundofzzz.nlListened on: VPRO 3VOOR12Genre: alternative

Electrifying sounds

Just got live365.com from Joost and at first glance it’s great. It’s the portal for streaming audio. Want to hear only music with a Hammond organ in it, can do. You can pick an instrument and if you like a genre and start riding the search wave. Sounds like spam, sorry I’m just enthusiastic. Always

Logland/Lowlands

Nooit gedacht dat lowlands.nl zo veel in een mens wakker kan schudden. Het heilige land. Zelf luister ik de stream een beetje mee zoals ik dat ook tijdens PinkPop en menig ander festival doe. Meestal over de zeik over de slechte geluisopnames en optredens, halverwege afhakend. Maar Lowlands is anders dit jaar. Bob was al

Recordings

Recordings is a new program from the VPRO Dutch public television. Every episode there are about 6 folk-songs to listen to preformed by people from all kinds of ethnic backgrounds living in Holland.

By singing their personal song (often with tears in their hart) I’m invited to connect though music, the universal language. This program tells the stories I tend to forget, but refers even more to the things we share. Society needs this, more then ever.

Groovy

Scanning LP’s (or any old mechanical audio carrier), it’s getting better and better. Even better than the original. The trick: confocal laser microscopy. And it’s not just for fun.

Regina Spektor

American-Russian musician on a piano. The lyrics alone are worth it. Lot’s of humor with a message underneath. Had me somewhat thinking of Loudon Wainwright III without the expressions but with similar context. artist: Regina Spektorwebsite: reginaspektor.com/VPRO: Regina SpektorXFM: Regina Spektorgenre: Folk musicorigin: USA/Russialive concert VPRO: audionumber=15208189favorite song: Consequence of Sounds
