I'm working on a new song already (I'm actually re-using some bits from 'the escape door' again, since that project got a bit too big and I don't really plan on finishing it. But the good bits will find their way into this one. :) ) and it would indeed be quite awesome if I could play this stuff live. But I need some more material, before I start the entire band thing. I want more gigs anyway, so I'd better hurry up, haha. :P Thu, 08 Sep 2011 19:11:21 +0100 https://www.progforums.com/punforum/viewtopic.php?pid=2467#p2467 2467@https://www.progforums.com/punforum Topic: Jasper van Emmerik Message: It really sounds great! It even has a bit of a Swedish vibe (if that exists :)) Would be great if you could play this with a band!

And this time with vocals! Mind you, it's still a demo: It's needs some automation, my guitar is a bit out of tune and the Bass-sound isn't entirely constant. But it gives a pretty good idea of what it should be. :) Sat, 13 Aug 2011 23:11:55 +0100 https://www.progforums.com/punforum/viewtopic.php?pid=1861#p1861 1861@https://www.progforums.com/punforum Topic: Jasper van Emmerik Message: actually, I was thinking more ELP when i wrote it (tarkus, for instance, though I guess that one is a little bit more complicated) and hearing Gilmour in my playing is inevitable, having listened (and played) too much Floyd in the past.:P I'm not that familiar with Camel (I do own moonmadness) but I definitely hear some resemblance here. ;)I have some lyrics which I like now, I just struggle with it sometimes. Instrumental can be an option though, but everything I've done so far is instrumental, so I thought this would be sort of a challenge and I'd like to see how my voice fits the music.Might be an idea though for future songs. ;)thanks for the positive response! :) Tue, 31 Aug 2010 12:56:03 +0100 https://www.progforums.com/punforum/viewtopic.php?pid=1856#p1856 1856@https://www.progforums.com/punforum Topic: Jasper van Emmerik Message: Jasper, this is really great! Mostly Camel (in a Moonmadness kind of way*) I hear, with a hint of Gilmour.If lyrics are a problem, then don't do them! Instrumental music can speak for itself. Paint a picture with the music and perhaps use some soundeffects. If Dark side of the Moon didn't have lyrics, it still would be a great album. * Tue, 31 Aug 2010 08:15:52 +0100 https://www.progforums.com/punforum/viewtopic.php?pid=1850#p1850 1850@https://www.progforums.com/punforum Topic: Jasper van Emmerik Message: Here's my latest effort. I'm allready working on the other parts. Got one finished, but lyrics is always a hard thing for me. I'm never satisfied with what I right. But I'm getting there, slowly... I'm also looking for a band to possibly perform this live, when it's finished. So hopefully I'll be able to find some students/musicians in Utrecht. ;) Mon, 30 Aug 2010 20:05:10 +0100 https://www.progforums.com/punforum/viewtopic.php?pid=1313#p1313 1313@https://www.progforums.com/punforum Topic: Jasper van Emmerik Message: yep, I know, that's why I'm going to read History at the same time, though part time, as a sort of Plan B. :P Even if I won''t get in, I'll probably continue to make music anyway, and we'll see how it goes. At least I tried. ;)thanks for the support! :) Wed, 03 Mar 2010 17:53:45 +0000 https://www.progforums.com/punforum/viewtopic.php?pid=1302#p1302 1302@https://www.progforums.com/punforum Topic: Jasper van Emmerik Message: Hey JasperYour music is great and a formal musical education is a good idea. But, as you obviously realise, a good general education and exam passes is also really important, especially as its difficult to make a living out of music these days. Everyone seems to think they're entitled to music for free :rolleyes:Good luck, and I hope to be able to buy your CDs and attend your gigs in the future :cool: Tue, 02 Mar 2010 23:15:55 +0000 https://www.progforums.com/punforum/viewtopic.php?pid=1301#p1301 1301@https://www.progforums.com/punforum Topic: Jasper van Emmerik Message: ah, thank you! Always good to now that people like your stuff! :)'Semi-Nepgitaar Orgel Pink Floydimitatie Demo' isn't that good. It was one of my first recordings, when I didn't know how to programm the drums yet, so they don't really follow the beat. plus that it's more like a sort of jam-thing, nothing special. :PActually I want to do musical education next year,  but I'll first have to pass my exams. ;) I do want to release an album some day, but no immediate plans.

Yes, I hear the Beardfish influences!It feels a bit slow to me. Sometimes changing a tempo drastically changes the atmosphere of a song. It's obviously a choice (or you were limited by the click/ drums?)I reckon this is around 60 bps? Perhaps changing it to 80 would feel better? Might give it more of an edge.When we play music we sometimes need to play a piece two, three times to get the right tempo.But the music is fine! Great. Wish I could write something like this.If you ever consider recording an album, please keep me updated. If you ever need a saxophone, please PM me ;)So, how about posting a link to:Semi-Nepgitaar Orgel Pink Floydimitatie Demo (6:28)At least the title sounds interesting ;) Wed, 23 Dec 2009 21:49:54 +0000 https://www.progforums.com/punforum/viewtopic.php?pid=1160#p1160 1160@https://www.progforums.com/punforum Topic: Jasper van Emmerik Message: Checking out now..

It's much more 'progressive rock' then my earlier songs. We just sort of finished the the first part: 'overture', which is listenable in the musicplayer.
