Probably one of my favorite drumgrooves ever. This is ‘Kissing my Love’ by Bill Withers, may he Rest In Peace. Such a simple but fun bassline to play. Enjoy your weekend everybody!

Current mood: Concrete Jungle. What better way to cure a bad mood by playing some Bob Marley basslines.

Zoals sommige van jullie weten ben ik sinds een paar maanden podcasts aan het produceren met mijn nieuwe bedrijf @podcaststudioamsterdam. Ik heb een mooie studio in het centrum van Amsterdam en deze wil ik graag met anderen delen.
-
Als jij op zoek bent naar een plek om interviews te houden, podcasts op te nemen, voice-overs op te nemen of andere vormen van mono- of dialogen, ga dan naar podcaststudio.amsterdam of stuur mij een DM. Of tag iemand die op zoek is!
-
De studio is helemaal opgezet zodat je alleen maar hoeft te gaan zitten en op record hoeft te drukken.

Let me know!

My good friend and super talented songwriter and producer @akablock released a new track. It’s part of a new EP that also sees the light of day today. This is a small snippet of ‘Both Sides are the Wrong Side’, one of my favorite songs of the EP.
-
Tim always gives me carte blanche when it comes to creating bass lines. This is the result. I like how it’s both bouncy and melodic.

Listen with headphones.
I love building these soundscapes. Huge worlds of multiple layers of organic textures. This one is made with my piano, some violins and gasoline receipts. As some of you may hear, @mrjonhopkins is a major influence on my recent development as a musician and producer. His music has a transcendental quality that I love.
-
Adding these soundscape to songs, no matter how soft, places it in it’s own tiny universe. Let’s the listener truly immerse him/herself.
-
Have a great weekend everybody.

Practicing 7/8 and trying to make it feel more natural.
-
Next week I have a gig with the amazing @fridolijn and here compositions are always challenging. One of them is in a 7/8 time signature and that’s not something that comes naturally to me.
-
So what I do is: make a vibey backing track and just play. Try to feel it, dance to it, make strange faces to it. Begin with basic rhythmic ideas and develop over time.
-
Doesn’t feel completely solid yet but anyway I’m having fun.

Happy to be on the road again. This month I’m doing a few gigs with @karsudonmez. Big venues, small crowds. Weird but magical at the same time. 📸 by @karsudonmez herself.

Very proud that today this EP by @katiatruijen see

Very proud that today this EP by @katiatruijen sees the light of day. It’s called Room to Stay. Four songs we recorded in four days in my studio in Amsterdam. It’s a personal, dreamy EP full of stories in it’s own little universe. If you like artists Feist, Fleet Foxes and Sufjan Stevens I’m sure you’ll like this one.

It was beautifully mixed by @benrheinlander and if the cover picture isn’t the cutest picture ever I’ll eat my hat.

Back from our holiday. Didn’t go far, but it was far enough. Visited Maastricht, Tiengemeten and friends in Rotterdam and Den Bosch. We rediscovered our own little country and loved to see our friends again. Still I couldn’t resist playing a few notes on the piano. Photo by Loes Braam

Turn on your sound. Today, two days before the longest day of the year, this tracks sees the light of day. And it’s a special one. Made this one with @dialoque.music. Here’s a little story.
-
It’s the first electronic music track that I ever released and I’m quite proud that it was released by @sol.selectas. -
It all started with a song by @tinariwen. Their music has a mystical and haunting sound and amazing rhythms. Playing along with those tracks I discovered a bass line that would lay down the foundation for this track.
-
Later I was pretty into a track called ‘Syria’ by Unders, especially the @satorimusica remix. Inspired by the synth part I gave my Juno 106 a spin on top of the bass line that I wrote months ago. -
But it all came to life when @evasofiaviolin joined on the track. Her amazing violin melodies gave the track emotion, direction and a sense of story. Together we worked on the arrangement until it sounded like it does today. @chrissiequast and @biba.sounds added their beautiful parts as the last embellishments. And we have to thank @janjaap_official for connecting @sol.selectas.
-
I will soon write a longer story about this track, maybe do a little deconstruction. For now, enjoy this track in the burning sun. M

A message to all my musician friends: It looks lik

A message to all my musician friends: It looks like I’m gonna be home for a while. Every gig this month got canceled. I can imagine some of you are in the same situation. No gigs, and also no income. This virus is hitting the world hard, not just our health but also our finance, mental health and perhaps our creativity.
In this time of crisis I think it’s important that we help each other out. Some of you may know, but I build a pretty nice studio in my house. It has everything you need to write, record, study and rehearse. If you are in need of a place to work but can’t afford a reheasal room or studio, please let me know. It has a piano, some nice synths, mics, amps. No drums though. As long as you’re not carrying the virus along with you, you are very welcome to work at my place. And tag somebody that could use that. Take care everybody. Let’s try to take this time off to grow, educate and inspire ourselves. Elbow box, Mart

‘A man of focus, commitment and sheer will. ‘Oh no wait, that’s John Wick. This is me zoning out during the soundcheck of last week’s gig with @benedict.amsterdam. Lot on my mind. Lot on my plate. But that’s how I like it. It was a great night and the record is even better. Check it out. Photo by @estherzim -

The end of chapter one. This journey started a few

The end of chapter one. This journey started a few years ago. Started with two guys having a beer, in a bar, agreeing on making a record. A record about love, the end of it. About tough times, about hope and moving through life. Today it saw the light of day and I’m very proud to be such a big part of it. I learned a lot, about music, about myself and about life. But the best thing is: I gained a friend.
