So we did a track for our cafe, with everyone who wanted to singing a couple of lines.
This is the amazing result.

CPC Crew Song  by Checkpoint Charlie Cafe

The flip side of our CPC Crew Song; drum & bass remix by Paul & Jaro

CPC Tram & Bus Gladde Remix

A song in Dutch by me. Piano by Rob Verhofstad. Pre-production. After it I broke my cheekbone... Enjoy!

Jaro - Hou me vast

This is a song of mine, again in Dutch, that I recorded as a workshop; Jacob Van De Water taught me in a day how to record a song in Logic. Drums are basic Garageband drumkit plugins, they were not the emphasis. I played electric and accoustic guitars, and bass. Please note that I don't really play these instruments, but hey, it worked. Thanx Jacob! So, it's a try-out for a bigger and better recording. With friends who can actually play...

Jaro - Niemand Wint

Ik heb dit liedje opgenomen met Wouter Planteydt, in z'n woonkamer. uitzoeken, spelen, opnemen. Daarna is 'ie met overdubs aan de gang gegaan, bas door Wouter en je hoort Ro Krom van Gotcha op een snare. Wouter rules, dat is het enige dat ik er nog van kan zeggen, behalve dat ik vreselijk blij ben met deze versie. Mijn lijfliedje, een beetje, toch. 

01 Requiem

My dubstepper! A fine tune, I think. Props go to Gerben Kruiswijk, Jacco Gardner & Stephan Jurriens. 

Jaro - Ik Wil Naar Huis (Dubstep Version)

I wrote this high up in the Nepalese Himalaya's, when I got really irritated with the behaviour of a large group of travelling Germans, under the strong leadership of a blond tourguide, who we called 'Gunther' and wanted to kill. We kept running into these people.. Finally we lost them in a blizzard, that's why everybody dies at the end of the song. I made them Dutch though, to avoid diplomatic disturbances. The great Wouter Planteydt played the ukelele.

Trekking Club 'Hoge Nood'

I wrote this song for Cafe De Koe, while I was working there as a cook. Bartel Bartels, Wouter Planteydt and Daan Harmonica played on it, recorded at my place and percussion was done by hitting pots and pans in my kitchen.

05 De Koe

Made in Belgium @ Band In A Barn meeting. Great atmosphere, amazing vibe really. We did a number of tracks, this is one. Jacco Gardner, Gerben Kruiswijk and Stephan Jurriens did the music. Enjoy.

Voetbal Zonder Doel

Paul van Musscher and me wanted to enter the songwriting competition by the Amsterdam harbour. Write a port song. Yeah, 'Ports Of Amsterdam' was there already, so Paul made this in a day. We sang it like we were two completely different people than we really are...and lost the battle. Come to think of it, the word 'harbour' isn't even in there.  
Lode made it all worth listening to.
