From my buddy

 I've played with him from 1980- till 1995. Always enthousiastic and royal with words, thanks bud!

Na 3 dagen zojuist ‘repeat’ uitgezet. Ben inmiddels horendol 🤪
Het was weer heerlijk om me te laten onderdompelen door alle instrumenten, klankkleuren, harmonieën en verrassende compositorische wendingen. Wat een heerlijk albummeke.
Het nodigde uit om mijn aangelegde JoosTVD afspeellijst weer te draaien.
Deze heb ik aangevuld met:
“Ennio”, “Living is instant”, “Put your fade in it”, “Careful”, “Agree to disagree”, “Mister Jump the Gun”, “Hear the sunshine 2”
Ben het meest geraakt door “Ennio”.
Dank wederom voor deze eruptie van nieuw klankvoer!

I supplemented this with:
\"Ennio\", \"Living is instant\", \"Put your fade in it\", \"careful\" , \"Agree to Disagree\", \"Mister Jump the Gun\", \"Hear the Sunshine 2\"
Most touched by \"Ennio\". Thanks again for this eruption of new sound food!

That's faaast: the first review!

 Wow, wow!


JoosTVD – Put Your Fake In It
Format: CD – Digital / Label: Independent
Release: 2023

Tekst: Peter Marinus

Dutch:

Ik word er gewoon elke keer erg blij van! Een nieuw album van JoosTVD, oftewel singer-songwriter Joost van Dinther oftewel The Vanished Dutchman.

Op ieder album ontpopt Joost zich als een muzikale doe-het-zelver die op ingenieuze wijze zijn invloeden tot een geheel eigen stijl weet te vermengen. Dat is (uiteraard) ook weer op zijn nieuwste album het geval.

Living Is Instant swingt er direct broeierig op los in een warme jazzy stijl a la Steely Dan of Michael Franks. Een tropische verrassing van eigen bodem van een vertrouwde hoge kwaliteit. Het luie en funky Put Your Fade In It bevat wat fusion invloeden a la Larry Carlton/Lee Ritenour.

Hear The Sunshine Play klinkt alsof Todd Rundgren zich in een Philly Soul bad heeft gedompeld terwijl hij Barry White op zijn koptelefoon heeft aanstaan. Na het luchtig boppende Up Up volgt de 20’s swing van The Shit Hits The Band. Een hilarisch hink-stap-sprong vaudeville nummer.

Vervolgens gaat Joost loom funkend verder met Hang On en overlaadt hij ons met een sentimenteel warm groovend gevoel in Sentimental Overload. Het energiek funkende (die bas!!!) Careful bevat de nodige Prince invloeden. De jazzy swinger Agree To Disagree klinkt als een mix van Roy Ayers, Michael Franks en Steely Dan.

Ik eet mijn cowboyhoed op als Ennio geen eerbetoon aan Ennio Morricone is. Een majestueuze ballad, die op een Todd Rundgren-achtige wijze wordt uitgevoerd. In Move U valt de ingenieuze orkestratie op terwijl het 60’s psychedelische geluid van Kevin Ayers terug te horen is in Mister Jump The Gun. Agnes Magnus Populess is hilarisch! Een soort Monty Pyhton achtige funk!

De zwoel deinende samba funk van Hear The Sunshine 2 sluit het album af.

Niks geen “fake” op dit uitstekende album maar recht uit het hart komende avontuurlijke ‘Do It Yourself’ !

English:

 It just makes me very happy every time! A new album by JoostTVD, aka singer-songwriter Joost van Dinther aka The Vanished Dutchman.

On every album, Joost turns out to be a musical do-it-yourselfer who knows how to ingeniously mix his influences into a style all his own. That is (of course) also the case on his latest album.

Living Is Instant immediately swings sultry in a warm jazzy style a la Steely Dan or Michael Franks. A tropical surprise from our own soil of a trusted high quality. The lazy and funky Put Your Fade In It contains some fusion influences a la Larry Carlton/Lee Ritenour.

Hear The Sunshine Play sounds like Todd Rundgren has soaked himself in a Philly Soul bath while listening to Barry White on his headphones. After the airy bopping Up Up, the 20's swing of The Shit Hits The Band follows. A hilarious triple jump vaudeville number.

Then Joost continues funky with Hang On and showers us with a sentimental warm groovy feeling in Sentimental Overload. The energetic funky (that bass!!!) Careful contains the necessary Prince influences. The jazzy swinger Agree To Disagree sounds like a mix of Roy Ayers, Michael Franks and Steely Dan.

I'll eat my cowboy hat if Ennio isn't paying tribute to Ennio Morricone. A majestic ballad, performed in a Todd Rundgren-like manner. In Move U, the ingenious orchestration stands out, while the 60's psychedelic sound of Kevin Ayers can be heard in Mister Jump The Gun. Agnes Magnus Populess is hilarious! A kind of Monty Python-like funk!

The sultry heaving samba funk of Hear The Sunshine 2 closes the album.

No 'fake' on this excellent album, but adventurous 'Do It Yourself' straight from the heart!

Living Is Instant promo!

Show me some moving pictures! 

Yes, but let me explain... I'm not a professional Godley and Creme video maker, although I do have a lot of fun with the process of creating something myself.

Inspiration

Well, a lot of that came from working, experimenting with Instagram. After I made the front cover(s) et all, I used those pictures as a background to put the singing stuff on top of it. I made a lot of short reels, where I tried to playback to the song with different effects on top of them. Almost all of those Joosts have sunglasses, haha. I don't know why.. 

Then I put all those faces in round frames, moving and shaking to the beat. 

Hardware and software do matter!

It's all DIY stuff you know so it has its charms! Sure, the technical side is important of course, to work out precisely the pitching of the singing for example.. it almost drove me crazy. Overall I thinks it floats pretty well.

Hope you tap to the beat with me! So let's find some popcorn...

Put Your Fake In It

 Hai Folks... I'm back with 14 brand new songs and there's nothing FAKE about them! Just try... and

"PUT YOUR FAKE IN IT"

will be released on 13 june 2023, distribution by AMAdea, yes for real.

I'm super excited off course, because as I get older, to create something new one should expect that it would come with more physical and mental difficulties and slowness. Well, everyone has its dog days -problems and frustrations- that's because we're human after all. Don't believe the news, just keep in touch.

But music always gets me going! It even gets easier to put ideas in a form that appeals to me. After all those years of repeating the process and work with an almost blind determination, my confidence has grown a lot in the way I work. I know what I like. I feel great and I feel bad at the same time and I accept that. Simple. I love it.

So here is my 19 digital release and to introduce it I'll show you the covers first.

Description: 

I took a picture of that guy, cut it out and put it on a blank canvas with the world in the distant background. As I lost two beloved cats at the beginning of this year- I'm still processing this- I put a symbolic cat on the backcover, begging me for some attention. They gave me so much love. O, how I miss them...!!!


Kleintje and Dropje

 

The innersleeves were the first choices, but to not discard them totally, I gave them a better place.

I'm also busy working on this fake promo video. Yes, it's a process I've grown to love, but off course I'm not Stanley Kubrick.

Hope it will work out! CU, thanks for listening, TVD


Next: Yes, show me your fake promo video!
