Projects make life interesting
Life is too short to just be playing with one single act….
So many interesting people, so much beautiful or otherwise inspiring music to be heard, played, shared…
Sometimes solo, sometimes with a duo, or a trio, or someone else’s project…

Frimangron “Reference Recordings” project I & II
Status: completed.
Both the EP’s “Reference Recordings I” and “Reference Recordings II” have been released by TheRoomRecordings and are available on the major platforms.
Frimangron Tori
Status: Edition 1 ‘Tom & Helena’ – Completed. Music based on personal stories, memories and dreams, written and/or gathered by me.
Inspired by ancient rituals in human history of sharing stories, in a circle around the fire.
Written, recorded and produced @ Frimangron Studio. Preparational study for interactive live performance with small audiences.
As part of a series of stories, right now I finished five compostions for the story of Tom and Helena, thus translating the narrative poetry of Helena Gwyn, from her bundle :
“Onderweg naar mij(n ) Zelf”
which entails testimonies of her deepest experiences of the transition she underwent (and still is in the process of undergoing).
Made possible with the support of Makersfonds Tilburg, in collaboration with Kunstloc Brabant
Frimangron “Reference Recordings III”
Status: active. New compositions by Emiel vdf Scholsberg, recorded @ StudioVanMerloot MusicPros, co-produced by Juan van Emmerloot.
NU – Eva van Pelt
Status: active. Very special project, of a very dear friend.
With this new project “NU” (now), Eva is pushing the boundaries set by the format of a popconcert.
She brings new songs, exciting arrangements, spoken word and improvisations, using a performance format that is entirely focused on and centered around “contact”.
Every concert we consider to be a conversation. A realtime conversation, with everyone present involved. A conversation based upon listening instead of speaking.
Focus, love, guts, exposure, energy and strength
“It is here, it is now, and it is because you are here” – Eva
