Some sounds for Ableton's Analog synth

I made some sounds for Ableton's Analog synth, you need Live 7 and of course Analog to use them. Get them here. Let me know what you think of them....

The shows with HIT ME TV are going really well. The guys are selling CD's like hotcakes afterwards and the crowds go wild. We just finished a week of shows as support act for the Infadels who were really really nice a great band of course ! Thanks guys...
Next week it's a show in Oss during a dance night and supporting Voicst at Vondelpark, Amsterdam.
In other excellent news: HIT ME TV have been confirmed for the Lowlands festival this august, which is pretty much every dutch bands' wet dream :)

I get to play the Outhouse festival !

Freek Fabricius from 030303 called today to ask me if I would do a set on the second stage of the Outhouse festival this year. Of course !
I played this venue in the late 90's with Human Beings, one of our last gigs and it was great. It will be a pleasure to return. The festival has a nice program which I am sure will soon show on http://www.outhouse.nl. I assume you will all show up for this event :) And: Two of my Berlin mates are playing as well: Redshape & DJ T.raumschmiere !

So, back to work in the studio soon to make sure this one will turn out to be all I want it to be !

Thanks to R.J. Bokje for the pic on Flickr !


Outhouse Festival, Open air theatre Cabrio, Soest, NL. August 30, 2008

A Good Start ?

My little performance last saturday at Tivoli de Helling didn't go entirely as planned but I learned a lot. Like I'm better at improvising arrangements than following predetermined arrangements and I need a different midicontroller because I hit the stop button on this one to easily :)

Anyway, I hope I can get another chance soon, the music works, the sound was fine as well....

Gear in use:
Mac Book Pro running Ableton Live (duh)
Waldorf Pulse
Waldorf Q
Nord Rack II
Motu 828 Mk 2
Presonus Digimax FS (these last two providing 16 audio outs)
Kaoss Pad 2 inserted on the drum bus for stutters etc.
mini KP for woosh woosh sounds
Remote Zero SL controller (stop button to close to next scene button.... use my own config next time)

I used Tivoli de Helling's Soundcraft MH3 mixer & effects...

Thanks to Jacob Bours for taking pics and Marie-José for making videorecordings

Playing Live June 7th

Saturday June 7th I play a live set for the first time in years. I expect ALL of you to show up at Tivoli de Helling, Helling 7 in Utrecht, NL. Doors open at 23.00, I play around 2.00 am I think. It'll be fun, some of the tracks I play can be heard at myspace.

Nothing to see on stage so if you expect a rock show you are out of luck :)
