Let me surprise you by 4 tracks of the CD Live by Mensergerjeniet. Recorded live using an Alesis HD24 (which is for rent), and mixed and mastered by yours truly.
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.
Previously you could already hear some songs by the Dutch ska- and reggaeband Mensergerjeniet on this website. Late November their first cd, called Live will be released. While the earlier songs were recorded in a studio, this CD has been recorded by me at concert at SJU in Utrecht, and afterwards mixed and mastered.
When you order the CD before the first one is pressed, you won’t have to pay for shipping and handling. You can order yours on the orderpage.
Treasures are sometimes hard to find, hiding at a place you wouldn’t expect. This song is just like that. Transparant is the third and last song from Mensergerjeniet and to be honest I didn’t ever get really enthusiast about it after the recordings.
But I had to change my opinion. A lot. When I started processing the recordings earlier this month (about 30 audiotracks and 20 effecttracks), they proved to generate a very open and clearly song.
The clearly rimclicks by Paul in combination with the sound of a woodblock, Bart’s lovely muted trumpet solo, the step back taken by the complete band when Dirk plays his solo on guitar, Paul who’s creating his own moment during a break at the end of the song: transparant truly is a treasure!
The Audio Engineer course at SAE is almost finished. Time to hand in the final project. My first attempt was too ambitious, but fortunately I could learn from my mistakes and was allowed to work at a project that earlier visitors probably recognize.
