I Write About Music
Music lover with excellent taste
Hi, I run two sites about music. And they're both great. Get in touch. I might even bother to reply.

- A weblog about music

I am passionate about music. I am dead serious about music. I listen to music. I watch music. I read about music. I talk about music. I buy music. So it makes sense that I write about music.
Styles covered: anything with a pulse, so: Americana, folk, rock, heavy metal, dance, funk, jazz, country, punk, bluegrass, rockabilly, post-punk, new wave, blues, noise, hard rock, surf, shoegaze, electronica, indie, avant-garde, pop, jam bands, (neo)-classical, Krautrock, power pop, experimental, post-rock, dream pop, minimal, industrial, vaudeville, singer-songwriters... The ability to play the music in a live setting is considered to be a big plus.
No hip-hop, reggae or modern day R&B, no fucking autotune. Tried it, hated it.
Note: my address for sending me stuff can not be found here. It will be supplied to you after I have contacted you. I like some privacy, old fashioned I know.

Tobias's experience as an inventive producer and sculptor of sounds enables to use simple motif change that can turn the mood pretty much instantly, with Moonchy's innocent delivery turning into an operatic squeal without warning.
Moonchy & Tobias
Wild Eye
The songs sparkle and glow. As a composer, Gregory Curvey allows the tracks to take their time, going through sonic hills and valleys using tension and release. This immersive music will be embraced by fans of King Crimson and Weather Report.
Custard Flux
Phosphorus
When he found himself stuck at his farm during the pandemic, he made the most of it by doing some serious soul-searching and laying the groundwork for his second full-length to see the light of day this year. Straightforward songs are not part of his musical make-up.
Anton Barbeau
Stranger
On his debut album he lets the music flow, moving from one piece to the next in a continuous stream of conscience. Naming Chopin, Bill Evans, Radiohead, and Ravel as sources of inspiration, he makes complicated music sound easy and accessible.
Dennis de Rochemont
By The Orchard
Dutch experimental musician goes for longform, ambient explorations. People might even get up from their seats and head for the dancefloor, lured by a dreamy trance that brings avant-garde to the club scene. Imagine techno moving at glacier speed.
Môgô
Somersaulting Through Eternity
Los Angeles based musician's follow-up for the much lauded The Tender Age. His knack for stylish art-rock songs with a bite is in good repair, dipping his toes into louder music every now and then, but never letting in the way of his crooning vocals.
