about

Thunderstorm
This is a piece of pure symphonic rock, with a nice piano-solo. It's inspired by a thunderstorm, because I like to look at this weather. Besides this it is inspired by ‘Pictures' a song of the German trio Schicke, Führs, Fröhling, a song in which the Mellotron plays an important role. According to someone who had heard the work of this German group and this composition, there was a strong likeness. In a way it is a sort of tribute to this trio. It sounds quite pompous, which I like. I think it is one of my best songs.
Recorded: 22/11/'94
Instruments used for the recording: E-mu Proteus/1, Kawai K1 rII, Yamaha TX81Z, Bit 99
On March 17th 2002, I recorded a slightly new version on CDr. The Bit 99 is replaced by the soundcard of my computer. This version is lost, because the CDR is defected. There is only a MP3 version left on SoundClick
Recorded: 17/3/'02
Instruments used for the recording: E-mu Proteus/1, Kawai K1 rII, Yamaha TX81Z, Soundblaster Live! Platinum
When I got my sampler, I decided to record it again, but this time with a sampled piano.

This German group has recorded a song called ‘Rare bird', which I liked very much. Besides this, I felt the lyrics, which were about the German poet Friedrich Hölderlin, described my own feelings as well. ... more
