I decided to take some time of touring. To focus on life in general, building up my new company in effect equipment KOMA Elektronik and to work on new compositions and releases. In a year I will return to my first love: the road. Untill than: please don’t forget about the good times we had. … Read more

Herlev: Scout

herlev

I’m in the middle of nowhere, or at least so it feels; Herlev. Every Danish person I told about my visit didn’t have a clue where it is. I feel like a army scout, investigating new grounds.

Aarhus: Binge

Tonights show in Aarhus was (as always in Aarhus) loads of fun. The organisers provided us with many radio’s to fill the space with sound, which is exactly what we did.

Heerlen: Deutsch

I am back in the south of the Netherlands. After last nights performance I took a short walk through Heerlen. Two girls asked me directions in German, another man started to talk to me in German as well. At the snackbar around the corner all the signs were in Dutch and German. In the supermarket … Read more

A journalist wrote a column about me in todays regional newspaper “De Gelderlander.” In the column he writes about me not being on facebook, twitter and me not watching farmers datingshows on tv. I was wondering: how does he know all of that?

Nijmegen: Rough

The recording is going very well. At the moment we have the rough outlines of the 8 tracks that will be on the album. Some are loud and obnoxious, others are ballads with little sounds, fieldrecordings, vocals and ofcourse cello. Tomorrow we’ll work on the detailed mixes, adding new sounds and make sure we’ll get … Read more
