Today I finally got to meet great Dutch drummer Hans Waterman at the mega record fair in Den Bosch!

Both invited by Centertainment Pseudonym in honour of the release of a Deluxe 11CD box/book: Q65 - The Life We Live - Anthology 1965-2000, which I had done remastering for. As always, the release by publisher Hans van Vuuren leaves nothing to be desired and it's been an honour to be part of.

Hans Waterman played drums on the last Q65 formation and is also known for playing with Solution, Jan Akkerman and Cuby + Blizzards.

Speaking of Solution; a huge box set of this wonderful band is on it's way too as the final steps of remastering are being completed.
What a joy.

Recently Davey Jonez approached me for an interview for a new informative video series called Studio Visitor. Talking about my career, workflow, philosophy and of course gear. Honored to be the first guest in what I believe will become an interesting show on mastering & sound engineering.

Tape Time!
Another round of transferring tapes from the SOLUTION archives.
Studer A812, A807 and Revox B77 tape machines spinning to the awesome music these guys made from the 70's and on. Grateful to be assigned this lovely remastering project by Centertainment Pseudonym Transmission.

Last summer I've been asked to record (and edit​) an interview with yoga teacher and Humanology expert Armand Mensingh.
The result is a fascinating conversation about the big questions of life, completely in style in the middle of nature near Leersum.
I well remember the gratitude I felt with my headphones on in the green between 3 cameras and these beautiful people,
combining my passions for sound, video and spirituality...
Thank you Jan-Willem and Armand!
