This channel is where I demo some of the songs I've recently written. I'm looking for a vocalist to collaborate with, so if you're a really great dude and a fine singer who lives close to Amsterdam, please find me on Facebook. Eventually this collection will flesh out to an album's worth of material, at which point I will start referring to myself in 3rd person in bio descriptions such as these. 

But for now I'd be thrilled to hear what your think.


Oscilliard draws upon a global, kaleidoscopic range of music and dance for inspiration; from Balinese to American Lindy Hop, from medieval steps to cutting loose at a warehouse party, from the height of disco to arabesques at the ballet.  The project is led by bassist, composer and producer Justin Foster.  He intended the album to be both approachable and engaging; ‘I create the music I want to listen to.  I want it to be a joy - both on first listen and when you get deeper into the different layers’.  Strata does have some more sedate moments, but the overwhelming feel of the album is enthusiasm and energy.  Oscilliard Strata project is made up of eight players, including Foster on the double bass.  Also featured are some less conventional apparatus: A metal rose arbour, a rusty bicycle wheel and a lamp shade.  

Foster has used the depth and richness of his musical knowledge to create an album that takes you as deep as you want to go.  You can rest on the surface currents of the melodies, letting the bass move you and the rhythms tap your toes.  Underneath that, each track reveals routes that touch musical histories and interconnect with present innovations.  Foster deftly crafts together sounds and textures, combining a diverse spectrum of influences in every track; the result feels effortless.

I never considered for a minute that I had talent. What I did have was divine inspiration and an open subconscious. (John Fahey)

Dutch-English singer and songwriter Gitta de Ridder draws the listener into a world full of atmosphere and feeling. Feelings of joy, sadness and wonder. Stories, thoughts, dreams, hopes, and all that lies between wrapped up in a blanket of indie folk acoustic guitar sounds and beautiful melodies.
She grew up in The Netherlands leaving the family home to go study music at age 18. A journey that took her from the Netherlands to Germany, to Italy, Greece, Ireland and the UK, settling in London in 2008 where she has lived ever since. Her first single 'Mr Yesterday' released in September 2014 gathered attention from BBC introducing, Amazing Radio and several Dutch Radio stations and with her self-produced debut EP 'Come Find Me' released in January 2015 and received with shining reviews she is starting to be a name to remember.

"Her remarkable voice is given the space and attention it deserves. She really is a wonderful singer." - Alex Gallacher 'Folk Radio UK' on the 'Come Find Me' EP

"Gitta De Ridder's talent lies in creating moody, atmospheric melodies that could be dark, candlelit spaces but then lighting them up with her voice which is full of hope and quiet determination." - Roland Monger 'Listen With Monger'
