What you're looking at, and - we hope - will listen to, is an unusual cooperation involving
musicians Huub Gulikers and Wouter Post, together The Takes.

At the time these tracks were recorded, mixed and mastered (march 2012 - febr 2013)
Wouter Post lived in Belgium Europe. Huub Gulikers resided in San Diego CA.

In Belgium Wouter Post recorded instrumental and vocal tracks, using his Ipad and the
acoustics of the bathroom, bedroom, diningroom and other selected area's of his home.
In San Diego Huub Gulikers did miracles mixing, mastering and redoing drums, adding
keyboards and backing vocals in his home studio, using Pro Tools.

Tracks, takes, mixes, temp masters and all other sorts of masters crossed continents more
than once over the net during these months... Were rejected, approved, revised....

In the proces of making this collection of songs Wouter Post re-acquired an illness that struck
him first in 2008, and from which he eventually cured. The character of his voice profoundly
changed as a result of this in the course of making these recordings. This minor setback
however did not keep The Takes from working intensely on this project.

The 6000 miles distance between the two musicians involved, the two distinctive characters
Of the same lead voice, and the extraordinary circumstances of recording, mixing and
mastering result in this collection of Assorted Sh*t.

We loved making these tracks.
