| Member Since | 10/2/2006 | | Band Website | http://www.frankschijven.nl | | Band Members | Me, Myself and Ableton! Ableton Live gives me all the things I was looking for, for a long while. Instead of being dependant of other people's skills/equipment, Ableton Live offers me an intuitive environment to make 100% the music I want to hear.
Now i'm finishing a dozen new instrumentals and at the mean time i am working on about 30 songs with vocals, which means a lot(!) more work, especially writing the lyrics. I hope soon to place some examples on myspace.
The first ideas for my songs started almost always on guitar. I play most of time on a Seagull C6, a Takamine classic guitar or my Tacoma Bariton guitar, which is a very special guitar. | | Influences | David Byrne, Brian Eno, Frank Zappa, Charles Mingus, Underworld, David Sylvian, Soft Machine, Robert Wyatt, Nick Cave, Skeleton Key, Iron & Wine, Thelonious Monk, John Scofield, Kevin Ayers, Nico, Wilco, Beatles, dEUS, Talking Heads, SFEQ, Midlake, Tunng, Gravehurst, Air, Sparklehorse, Bob Dylan, Lambchop, Cat Power, Gomez, Zita Swoon, Willard Grant Conspiracy, Beck, The Smashing Pumpkins, Me'Shell Ndegeocello, Cinematic Orchestra, Captain Beefheart, J.J.Cale, Jimy Hendrix, Prince, Jazzanova, Soul Coughing, Outkast, Snoop Dogg, Ane Brun, Tom Waits, Ellioth Smith, Portishead, Tuxedomoon, Keziah Jones, Bob Marley, Nine Horses, Solex, American Music Club, etc | | Record Label | Unsigned |
