196Tree

196Tree

Late December 1963. The year I was born. Just after JFK had been brutally killed. And then Bang the Beatles happened.. and the Stones, Who, Kinks followed and...

196Tree

Is the title of the new album (20th digital album) and it will be released on 3 june 2024, again distributed by AMADEA music.

The song ideas came in as huge waves of inspiration and I just happened to be there, grabbing all of those in time! Excitement again. I still play everyday, strumming, singing old covers or smoothtalking piano chords and melodies with eachother. I couldn't wait to nurse these 14 brand new songs and make them happen. A lot of ping-pong playing, trying out and out of the box thinking got me through the days in working out all of the arrangements. More deep delving occured, daring myself, more challenging than before. So the songs are all over the place I guess, eclectic to the core. 

Yes, no blood, but a lot of sweat and tears of joy! Hard work? Many, many details, but worth it. No pain, no gain. Mostly it was pure fun.

The covers 

Well as the title suggests, it's about a particular year. I've made this album in my sixtieth year around the sun. So what about a photo collage? 3 became tree. A tree of pictures. So a search for a history in family snapshots of myself began. A lot of music connections were added too. Some of you may even recognize yourselves! So if you do and you think it's not appropriate, call the office immediately! 

So without further ado....

Next: a movie! Aha. Yes, show me your 196Tree promo video!

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...

That's a dutch review for ya!

Another nice review from Music World (source: https://goo.gl/gy84HQ)
Auteur: Fred Pach

"Ongeveer een jaar na zijn vorige album Open My Parachute bracht de Nederlandse multi-instrumentalist/singer-songwriter Joos TVD (alias van Joost van Dinther, met als muzikale bijnaam Joost The Vanished Dutchman) een nieuw album uit, getiteld Sagitario. En ook dit keer stelt hij de luisteraar niet teleur. Wederom een aangename, dansbare mix van r&b, funk, pop en cabaret en een jazzy sausje, waarmee een aantal nummers wordt opgekleurd, is hoorbaar.
In het eerste nummer Private Scene zingt Joos TVD op grappige wijze dat het toilet onderhand de enige plek is waar men tegenwoordig alleen kan zijn. In andere liedjes komen onder andere aan de orde hectische vriendinnen en het leven van de rijken in Hollywood. Rode draad in de liedjes zijn de humorvolle teksten en de grote afwisseling tussen de twaalf nummers was voor mij evenals op zijn vorige album ook een aangename ervaring.
Het is opnieuw nauwelijks voor te stellen dat we hier te maken hebben met een puur soloproject. Van Dinther bespeelt alle instrumenten en schreef alle liedjes zelf. Zijn muzikale projecten zijn dan ook uniek. Dat het album je het gevoel geeft naar een voltallige band te luisteren, komt mede doordat hij gebruik maakt van ‘drum samples’ met als prettig gevolg dat de organische waarde van het album op peil blijft. Sagitario is wederom een geslaagd muziekproject van JoosTVD".


English: About a year after his last album Open My Parachute brought the Dutch multi-instrumentalist / singer-songwriter Joos TVD (aka Joost van Dinther, with musical nicknamed The Vanished Dutchman Joost) a new album, entitled Sagitario. And once again he does not disappoint the listener. Again a pleasant mix of danceable R & B, funk, pop and cabaret and a jazzy flavor, which some songs are tinted, is audible.
In the first issue Private Scene Joos TVD sings funny way that the toilet by now the only place where one can nowadays only. In other songs will include raised frantic friends and the life of the rich in Hollywood. Theme in the songs are humorous texts and the large variation between the twelve songs for me as well as his previous album a pleasant experience.
Again, it is hard to imagine that we are dealing with a purely solo project. Van Dinther plays all the instruments and wrote all the songs himself. His musical projects are therefore unique. The album you hear makes you feel a whole band, is partly because he uses 'drum samples' with the pleasant result that the organic value of the album is maintained.
Sagitario is another successful music project from JoosTVD.
