Trailer EP Spelregels Mensergerjeniet

Maurice — Sat, 28 Apr 2012 11:41:52 +0000

In march of this year, I once again went into the studio with the band Mensergerjeniet, to record a new EP. We were looking for a bit more fatter rock sound, and have found that at Studio 58 in Eindhoven. The four new songs are almost finished and ready to be distributed. You will probably find the EP called Spelregels in about a month on iTunes, Spotify and Bandcamp, among others. A trailer (in Dutch) is already there to tease you

Last show at Kempervennen

Maurice — Sun, 25 Mar 2012 10:21:29 +0000

I performed my last show for Center Parcs Kempervennen last night. For more then two years, I worked there as a light- and soundengineer. Since November 2011 I work as a fulltime soundengineer at PopEi, in Eindhoven.

Behind the scenes I also worked for the entertainmentshows at Center Parcs. Among others, I have created several audio and video mixes. I would like to share two examples of them: a mashup of two songs: Lady Gaga – Born this way and Madonna – Express yourself (in audio as well as video), and an audiomix for the children’s disco in the summer of 2011.

Ape not Mice concert

Maurice — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 13:43:41 +0000

On December 2th last year, the band Ape not Mice brought their mix of pop and jazz on the stage at PopEi. An impression of this concert (captured by our own team) has been put online by the band themselves. I created the monitormix and the front of house mix at the concert, and the audiomastering for this video. A review of this concert (in Dutch) can be found on the website 3 voor 12.

Video Spanish Blues Band in concert

Maurice — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 13:12:34 +0000

By now I have the luxury that I regularly may provide the audio for a concert or festival. But every now and then something appears on my stage that touches me more than usual. A concert that runs smoothly and at witch the music and technique work together to make a greater sum than the individual parts. And if the style of the music is something you don’t see that often in Rockcity Eindhoven, I just have to share it with you.

At Eindhoven, the union of musicians called Paraplu has moved into the building of PopEi, providing rooms for rehearsal, a bistro, a recording studio and a music venue. To celebrate this, a little festival ‘Onder de Paraplu’ has been organized. The kickoff of this was provided by Spanish Blues Band, a especially for this occasion group of passionate musicians brought together by Eric van Donkersgoed. Here is a video impression of that concert, at which I provided the monitor and front of house mix. A big thanks to Eric van Donkersgoed for his permission and the video-edit.

New band: Maybe June

Maurice — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 22:09:09 +0000

In 2009, I posted an article about Tood Red, containing a few video’s of one of their concerts. The band broke up, but three of the original members started, together with some new musicians, a new project: Maybe June. I consider myself lucky to also be their soundengineer.

The organization of the backyard classics festival was convinced of their music and booked the try out of Maybe June as closing act. Below you find a video of one of the songs of that concert.

Maybe June brings popmusic with a little jazz, soul and funk. You can find more info and book them at their website.

Workshop stage technicals

Maurice — Thu, 13 Jan 2011 03:01:31 +0000

I have been asked by Kunstbende to create and present a workshop on the subject of stage technicals. Kunstbende is an organization for scouting of talent and offers, among others, workshops and coaching for youth.

During the workshop, (starting) musicians will learn how to make a technical rider, what technicians will do during a soundcheck and how to efficiently go through a soundcheck, and what people expect on stage from a musician before a concert can take place.

I will mostly shed a light on the subjects in a technical way. The first time this workshop will be held, Koen Lommerse (Beef, Gotcha Allstars), will join me to explain it from a musician’s point of view.

When there is enough interest, the workshop can be give once more. If you would like to join the next one, please contact me.

Review CD Mensergerjeniet – Live

Top 40 MusicFromNL December 2010

Previously on this website, you could read about the upcoming release of the CD Live by Mensergerjeniet, and at the same time you could place an order for it. Indeed the CD has been released in November, and most people are enthusiast about it.

This also holds true at the well-known platform MusicFromNl. Mensergerjeniet entered their top 40 at the fifth place in december, and MusicFromNL placed a critical review in their online magazine. The jury wanted to hear more alternation, missed the live experience because of neat sound on the CD, and is hoping for a great studio album.

Their suggestions are welcome and will be taken into account. Because there are rumors about a first studio-recorded album! The full review (in Dutch) can be found on this link. Of course, you still can order the CD by using this form.
