But a pretty large step for me: my little project is finished! :D

(click here for the soundclick mirror)
This is basically what I've been working on the past two years or so, and it's a compilation of what I've learned so far. All songs written, recorded, produced, performed, mixed and mastered by me, with my own gear, so please forgive the at times not-so-awesome sound quality. It has turned out to be a pretty varied album, I think, so with some luck everyone should find atleast one somewhat enjoyable song and probably atleast one not-so-enjoyable song. ;)
[BRAG]A recurring question on these boards is the 'When are you no longer a beginner'. The answer usually is 'when you no longer feel like one'. I think that with this little project I've made my way from absolute beginner to atleast some form of mediocrity, and I can't wait to see where I'll be in a few more years. Any feedback, comments, criticism and questions are more then welcome![/BRAG]
Side-note: the IMHO awesome picture is *not* made by me, but by a friend of mine. Not sure if he wants me to say his name but just so you know.
That pic is really cool Arjen. I cant wait to get home from work to listen. Congrats, I know (from reading) how much hard work you have been putting into this.

Great work Arjen!
I was listening with some attention and my favorite is "Till you drop". All the work is great but that track makes I remember some other compositions...
Congratulations!

congrads. I will give it a listen after work.
Arjen, I had a friend from your town in Holland. Ive been there. kind of a quiet and polite town.
I like the earth nipple.
Yes, till you drop is a very cool song. 8) Good for you!
"Contrary to popular belief, Clapton is NOT God. The prospect that he is God probably had a large hand in driving him to drugs and booze. Thanks everyone."
-Guitar World :lol:
Why does the earth have a nipple?
Let me guess -
"Artists should make their statements and move on, maintaining a dignified silence." AKA - Accidentally smudged it and thought it was cool. :lol:
Methinks it's a nose inhaling the stars - or sneezing! I can see eyes and maybe the hint of an ear...
But a pretty large step for me: my little project is finished! :D
Arjen - congrats!
You might post this in "Hear Here" and "Indie Sales" as well, just for the exposure...
Hum, I tried to "bablefish" the name of it: Welkom INDE Ruimte Banaan and it came back with: Welcome COLLECTED space banana ROFL.. Which I think must not be right. I was trying to figure out what the little BUMP was too.
Guess we'll have to wait til Arjen lets us in on the secret.

I'm going to give it a going over when I get my assignment done for the night, but I'm curious to know what the words mean in english?

Vacate is the word...Vengance has no place on me or her...Cannot find a comfort in this world.
So i just fired a bullet through my right temple with an Ortgies calibre 7.65 automatic after listening to that music... and thats a good thing.
Some of it was pretty good, some of it was really good, some i did not like at all. In my opinion it got better towards the end (it seemed like something to listen from the beginning to end so i did that).
Way to go man, you should be proud.
Its not exactly my style of music but I see where you are coming from. It is interesting for sure. Cool man

Way to go Arjen, not my usual type of music but remember that I am an old fart. My favorite was "Waiting to Fall" it seemed to have that bluesy wail that I usually associate with the test licks you have posted before. Cannot imagine the amount of work you put into mixing your tracks. Congratulations!
