Click here to listen to the EP! 2011 is an EP inspired by sketches I recorded during that year in Mexico and Scotland.
The challenge for this month’s EP was to compose all the tracks using a maximum of 4 channels in the DAW.
This often meant using the vocal channel (during spaces) to add an additional solo guitar or other instruments.
I did allow myself to use stereo channels to bounce down double-tracked guitars into a single channel (or vocals in some cases),
but that was the only rule I somewhat ‘bent’.
Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoy it!

Click here to listen to the EP! 2020 is an EP inspired by sketches I recorded during that year in Belgium. The challenge for this month’s EP was to compose all the songs with piano first.
It ended up being twice as challenging as I had knee surgery and had to record most of it from bed, but in the end it came out better than I expected. One of the things I noticed is the style of composing depends quite a lot on what instrument you start with.
Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoy it!

Click here to listen to the EP! 2012 is an EP inspired by sketches I recorded during that year in Scotland and Mexico. The challenge for this month’s EP was to use only vocals, no instruments (real or virtual); it was a lot of fun but very exhausting, yet I allowed myself the use of plenty of effects to achieve a fuller and more interesting soundscape.
The end result is quite weird, even by my standards, incorporating elements of doo-wop, EDM, hip-hop, alternative and indie. Having these monthly challenges has certainly pushed me beyond my comfort zone, in a good way.
Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoy it!

Click here to listen to the EP! 2015 is an EP inspired by sketches I recorded in 2015 in Belgium and the US. The challenge for this month’s EP was to use a different DAW (digital audio workstation) than I am used to, which was tougher than I expected.
After trying out a few free DAWs I realised I’d settle for GarageBand on the mac. It took me 3 weeks just to get into the flow, but once I got into it I noticed my usual way of working wouldn’t work; somehow the program you choose to work in can shape the work you produce.
The end result was a “rock demo tape” style of EP. I recorded in longer takes with less comping (recording the same part over and over), instead relying on more practicing beforehand and less recording, as it could be a bit more tedious to do a lot of splicing and adjusting.
Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoy it!

Click here to listen to the EP! 2018 is an EP inspired by sketches I recorded in Belgium during that year. This month’s EP challenge was the opposite of the last one: Instead of purely acoustic recordings I went for fully-electronic. Only samples, loops, VSTis, built-in instruments, not a single second of anything recorded on my microphone.
It ended up being a bit synth-waveish with a touch of NIN; a bit eerie, dark and intense, but following the melodies and harmonies of the sketches I recorded back in 2018. A bit different from my normal work, but that’s the challenge: Working within constraints.
Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoy it!
