Frank is a professional mix/recording Engineer and Producer.
He's also owner of Belgian based ACE Studio's.
ACE is mainly specialized in the recording and production of rock and acoustic music but because of Frank's love for synthesizers there's also a strong connection with electronic music.(no knob twidling but carefuly crafted melodic music)
About Nomads.
Nomads is Frank Van Bogaert's sixth solo release, perhaps his best and certainly the one he worked on longest. Featuring twelve original compositions performed entirely by himself in his studio just outside Antwerp, Belgium, it took Van Bogaert nearly two years to finish these recordings. The careful attention to detail shows, as you might expect from a professional engineer.
While Van Bogaert started out in the 1980's as a keyboard player for a Belgian synthesizer band, most of his professional life has been spent behind the boards, recording, mixing, and producing music. After 10 years of recording for others, though, Van Bogaert decided to start recording for himself, resulting in his 1998 debut, Colors, a world beat album similar in style to Deep Forest and Enigma, a style that was most completely developed one year later with the release of Geographic.
That 1999 album won three German Schwingungen awards for best album, best song and best artist in 2000.
Since then Van Bogaert has released four additional albums, though none sounding quite like those first two. Still focusing on the melodic, Van Bogaert dropped many of the ethnic influences and began recording more open, spacious music built around the synthesizer, music that has led some to compare him to a 21st century Vangelis or Jean Michel Jarre.
His latest release, Nomads, bears out such comparisons. Many of the compositions are built around melodies played on the keyboard, backed with synthetic orchestras and often spiced with sound effects, like the rolling waves in Aquatopia, or the synthetic chorus in Mont Blanc. At times Bogaert might also remind you of Pink Floyd or the Alan Parsons Project. One song in particular, Drive, borrows and blends from these two icons of 70's synthesizer pop-rock.
60 minutes of inspired music from one of Europe's major contemporary electronic composers, Nomads is a collection of recordings worth a dedicated listen.

Hi, Thanks for nice words. All of them always gives me conclusion that I choosed good way, all those things are not useless and works just as I imagined.
En geloof me vrij, hij heeft ook maar twee handen en aan elke hand 5 vingers. Ik verdenk hem van hersen- gecontroleerde toetsen die al reageren wanneer hij er nog maar naar kijkt ..... vandaar :-) Alles goed maat? Ik heb mij een Oasys aangeschaft. Dik de moeite. Mocht je eens passeren, spring binnen. Misschien tot 22 mei ? Groetjes, William
