Yellow & Blue - The Spivs (2005 Remix)

Backside of the 2nd single. Recorded at Studio 't Woud. With Award winning english producer Tim Smit. To me this is one of the best things we did. He added just that touch of "Britishness" The Spivs needed, great guy.
Special thanks to Heddy Bienstman, for believing in us. 

And, yes: we recorded this from the single!

Calling (The Spivs)

Creating my own unconventional pieces of music is like discovering diamonds in the rough. One day I will be skilled enough to make them shine too....
Without skills to play musical instruments, other than rhythmical, without knowledge of chords, progression, composition or sound mastering, I manage to create soundscapes with Ableton DAW and free instrument plug ins. Like painting on canvas, a vision emerges after adding layer on layer, note after note, instrument besides other instruments. Years and years of listening Jazzy music and playing in bands has given me the concept, and now I learn how to put the passion into my own music creations.
