How things are going...


Hey!

Well, in my previous blog I told you about what's up with my musical activities.
Now am about to tell you the progress in those things.

First off: Deadwood. Scenario is done, plannings are made, am rounding up the soundtrack which will be recorded on may 8th and 9th, on the 24th of april we will be checking out locations for the film. Other important thing will be screening the actrice. Which hopefully won't take too much time.

Last weekend The Forrester Soundtrack got nominated for Liet 2010 Song Festival. What a great day it was. Lots of sun, (dumb) jokes and great friends. Hopefully we will be picked out of the 15 nominees. If not, I will bug you just once to vote for me. I hate spamming people to vote... I'm sorry already. The new songs are being fine-tuned and the recording will start soon. The album will be totally Forrester... with lots of help from my friends. Looking forward to it!

Kensington Arms is back on the stages. A tour through Denmark is in the making, new contacts are made and new songs are written. Another thing worth mentioning: Our good friend Denise Hendriks made awesome pictures of the Docx show we did with June in December and The Four P.M. Station... I really enjoyed the company of lots of fine people. For pictures, check this link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/41795940@N07/sets/72157623764814171/

From 30th of April sKa3 will be back on the stages too! Will be lots of fun and hopefully you enjoy the new show we have produced over the last few months. Don't worry... we only added more hits instead of killing it hehe.

The coming weeks I will be busy with my personal music portfolio. FunFunFun!

And will Rudy be having any vacation? Looks like it. Hopefully i will be steering the wheel for the awesome punkrock band Antillectual. 2 weeks of fine european cities from the end of May till mid June. Fingers crossed.

I also made some choices that were hard to make. But it's for the better.

That's it for now..

Enjoy the days of the week and catch some sun if you can! I'm already burned.

What is up...

Hey there people,

Alot is happening.

First of all my project Deadwood is up and running. Script is 90% done, I'm at writing the fifth song (in total of six) and hopefully it won't take long before we shoot the movie. This project is all about weird dreaming and putting a soundtrack underneath it. With a bit of luck it will be premiered at the Freeze Festival at the end of september 2010 in "De Harmonie", Leeuwarden.

sKa3 is getting ready for the summerfestivals. Practicing hard with the new sKa3 chick on the vocals and rewriting the set to make it more dancable than it already was. There are some nice festival dates already confirmed and hopefully were crossing the border to let Belgium dance their asses off too!

Last weekend Kensington Arms played it's first show in a while and it was awesome!
New bassplayer Aldert did his kickoff and Smirre going to Japan for half a year, so Gosse from Last Days of Slavery will do vocalduty for the time being.

And last but not least... The Forrester Soundtrack is quite busy with new songs and will perform on a qualifying round for Liet 2010. I can't say for sure but hopefully I will release an EP or full length this year. I have enough new songs to make one.

That's not all... I will hopefully have admission to do the academy for popculture in september. That way I can finally focus as much as I need to on how the business works, the networking, my own music and of course those of others.

Well, thats the update for now.
The sun is up, so I suggest you enjoy it as much as you can!

Word.

Welkom!

Hier is dan mijn blog...

Het schijnt dat we met de tijd mee moeten
en dus ook actief aan het bloggen.
Hierzo dan mijn gedachtes, riedeltjes en ander vermaak.
Voor nu zal ik me eerst concentreren op het uiterlijk
en dan de inhoud.

Dus keep in touch!
