Hey, What's Happening....?

Well, I've vanished once again, remember....?  But all for one goal: to bring u the goods. Can't push it though, but again I'm in the middel of this energy flow of making music and there's still a lot to cover from my creative soul I guess! I just had to be patient. After a well deserved break, this time a holiday to one of the most beautiful and interesting places I've seen so far, Sint Petersburg and Moscow, old and new Russia, I'm refilled with a lot of new fresh fuel (no, no wodka), needed to get it together again.

Red square, Moscow

The most happy times are when I'm just working on new songs. I've been upgrading my studio equipment (worksations: the smaller Apollo Twin Quad has replaced my digidesign 003) and it shows. Wow, to me it sounds so much better now. Thanks!

A cherry on the top: a late review of my latest album in a dutch music magazine "Heaven":

Never too late...!

The Fly On The Wall Routine
AMAdea
dutch:
"Muzikale hinkstapsprongen
Ik moet eerlijk bekennen dat ik nog nooit van multi-instrumentalist/componist/zanger Joost van Dinther ("The Vanished Dutchman") had gehoord. The Fly On The Wall Routine is dan ook niet zijn proefstuk, sterker nog, het is zijn vijftiende release. In de 36 minuten die het schijfje telt, bewandel je als luisteraar allerlei muzikale paden: funk, fusion, pop, latin, r 'n b, softsoul en jazz, zonder dat het geheel gefragmenteerd overkomt. Allerlei acts komen binnenzeilen in je hersenpan, zoals Frank Zappa (de soms complexe songstructuren en zang), Gino Vanelli, Steely Dan, Robert Jan Stips en zelfs Gruppo Sportivo in het geinige Treason. Al dit namedroppen weerhoudt de doe-het-zelver er niet van om op de proppen te komen met sterke liedjes zoals het funky openingstrio Fly Talk, Stuck en Behave, het lekker lome Say The Word en het wellicht sterkste nummer, U Know That Now. Sterke plaat van deze muzieksurvivor."

 Musical hop jumps
I must admit that I have never heard of multi-instrumentalist / composer / singer Joost van Dinther ('The Vanished Dutchman'). The Fly On The Wall Routine is therefore not his test piece, in fact, it is his fifteenth release. In the 36 minutes that the disc counts, you walk all kinds of musical paths as a listener: funk, fusion, pop, latin, r 'n b, softsoul and jazz, without the whole thing appearing fragmented. All kinds of acts come sailing into your brain, such as Frank Zappa (the sometimes complex song structures and vocals), Gino Vanelli, Steely Dan, Robert Jan Stips and even Gruppo Sportivo in the fun Treason. All this named dropping does not stop the do-it-yourselfer from coming up with strong songs such as the funky opening trio Fly Talk, Stuck and Behave, the nicely lazy Say The Word and perhaps the strongest song, U Know That Now. Strong record of this music survivor.
