So I reset and I recalculate...

Have you ever felt like you could use a reset? Maybe you did when sweet things turned a little sour or when you simply felt you took a wrong turn somewhere and needed to make a change. There doesn't have to be anything dramatic going on really; a reset is always refreshing. But how do you do it? How do you reset? I was looking for answers to this question while I was in Palermo and being there definitely helped. The single (yes, of course its title is Reset!) is all about that. It's out on Friday. When you hear it, will you tell me what you think about the song? And tell me how you reset! Please! ;-)

Updating The Palermo File!

How are you? Hope you've started this year feeling great and will do so for the rest of the year! It's always worth a try, right?! ;-)

I can't believe it: The Palermo File has been recorded, mixed and mastered! It's been such a crazy ride this time; the writing, the traveling, the recording...everything's been more intense than ever before. And I have a feeling things will continue to be intense...it feels good. I can't wait to have you hear the EP, but I won't be bugging you until the artwork and video are ready. On Friday we'll be shooting the last part of the video for the single Reset at the Turbo Turbo studio and Jessica de Ligt, who's already working on the artwork, is coming by to take some photos. Fun! Remember the cover for The Paris File? She did that one as well. :-)

Keeping you posted.

Happy Holidays!

Hey there! I hope you're ending this year on a happy note. :-)

I'm doing fine over here, feeling all settled in in Rotterdam, but my mind is still lingering in Palermo. A good thing, because I'm still in the middle of recording The Palermo File with producer Chris Grem. The release for the single 'Reset' is set for January. Pretty soon indeed!

To everyone who came to the try-outs so far: thank you!!! They were so much fun and it was great to hear what you think of the new songs! The photo above was taken by Pascal van Beek, during one of the try-outs in Amsterdam, December 10th.

Wishing you happy holidays and all the best for 2012!

Into a Smile - Careclowns Commercial

Earlier this year Monc Music - Arthur Flink & Hielke Praagman - were asked to compose a song for the new Careclowns commercial. Alice Marzano wrote the lyrics to the song. A song, of course, needs to be sung and Monc Music asked me to make sure of that. Maybe you've already seen the commercial, maybe you haven't, but you can hear the entire song Into a Smile on youtube. Like it a lot? You can get it on iTunes. The commercial's produced by Park Amsterdam. Artwork to the song by Rosa Vitalie. Photography by Olaf Blaauw. Nice, huh?

Arrivederci Palermo, Ciao Rotterdam!

Aaaah! So back in Rotterdam. Missing Sicily of course, but happy to be back nonetheless. Even happier to be able to say that I've returned with a whole bunch of new songs. I'm getting back in the studio with Chris Grem on Friday to start recording them for The Palermo File.

If you would like to hear the new songs before they're even released, come to one of the intimate shows in November or December. We're going to do try outs at special locations throughout the country in November and December. Very curious as to what you'll think of the songs!

Soon more on the first part of the video recording in Sicily. Oh well, up here's a 'sneak peek pic'

Quite high, isn't it?

The Palermo File - Part 5

Only a few weeks left before leaving Palermo. Autumn is a very exciting season here with extreme storms and hot days following each other. It's gonna be hard to leave. But it was hard to leave Paris all the same and I got over that, didn't I? :-) I really should shut up about this now, because hey, still a few weeks to go! A few weeks to spend writing and even shooting a video with Turbo Turbo and of course for some more swimming in the sea, eating delicious Sicilian specialities and spending time with new friends.

Actually, -hard as leaving Palermo may be- at the same time I'm looking forward to coming back to The Netherlands and play! We're going to do try-outs (trying out The Palermo File songs ofcourse!) at special locations throughout the country in November and December. Take a look at the agenda regularly and well...get your tickets! Hope to see you!

Oh, and in the photo? That's how we do lunchbreak here. Sigh...
