   About Peter Vanek


Peter Vanek. born 1977 The Netherlands. Currently living in Antwerp, Belgium. Reading myself into oblivion.

Found a guitar. Was taught some chords and sent on my way. Started working on a cabaretshow (stand up mixed with songs). Recorded a cd called "WatNouNee?!cd"

Came into contact with Jamie Watts and started collaborating. Kilowatts & Vanek sparked into existence. Made a song called Lies, a song called Conviction, a song called Kaleidoscopean Eyes and a song called Gone. Demo was done. Got signed. Made more songs with KiloWatts and ended up with "RawQ". Nothing much happened. Found a warm home at Diffusion Records for RawQ.

Started working on solo material which ended up on the first ever Peter Vanek album called "Thin Air". Learned to live/love cubase/ableton/whathaveyounot Major existential turmoil in the sense of "whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger"

Started working on more up tempo material slowly growing into a second Peter Vanek album: worktitle "Tenderfoot" Started working on a new cabaret show which will premier april 2008 with new dutch songs: worktitle "LeegLoper" Finished the secretive second Kilowatts & Vanek album "Focus & Flow", which will soon be launched. Started working on a short film in order to be able to write a concept album: worktitle "Spoor/Print"

Standing here now breathing atmosphere, bleeding beauty and feeling the universe shift around me. Loving every second. It's all about the atmosphere; an ethereal dusk; the solitude of slow and silent motion. Break it down in little fragments, reverse thrust, u-turn and glue it all together again. These colors are seeping through the cracks of your conviction. I am a flowing through your lucid understanding. Skin leaks salted blood and the friction of two minds throwing sparks into entropic worlds beneath these melted skies. In the end, it's all about the atmosphere... rewind...press play on tape.

I am doing very well, thank you.

Kira and I are in the works of collaborating both of our ideas for his next EP cover.

I am waiting on Doll Imago to get back to me with info on how the Obelisk event went. As soon as I find out I'll forward that on to you and the others.

Your current profile image.Did you make it? I like it.

Particle Accelerator is geweldig goed man! I love it. Alleen vanaf 2.25 is het niet echt mijn ding meer, maar het blijft kwalitatief een meesterwerkje. Ik kijk al uit naar de EP!
Groetjes van Lennart :)

Spleen - NEW EP COMING...





Jul 27 2008 10:34 PM

Hey Peter!
Lang geleden he! :)
Het nieuwe nummer is uitstekend goed, echt. Mooie cleane sounds en goede compositie. Zeker die ambient die er dan bijkomt. Nice work man!
Ik wacht nog steeds op een gil of een teken van leven van David mr misschien is hij overreden ofzo... Niemand heeft em al in weken gesproken.
Dus mijn release zal nog even duren denk ik.

Wat denk je van mijn nieuwe stuff? Ik ben zelf niet over alles tevreden, mr vind vooral Flowerdrops en Winterbeams zeer geslaagd.
Flowerdrops is een aanrader ;) wel tot het einde luisteren, er zijn nl 2 grote themas in het nummer.

Hoop dat alles goed is met je en dat je mijn nieuwe dingen kan pruimen he :)

See ya!

Spleen - NEW EP COMING...





May 27 2008 11:45 PM

Hi,

My second EP is almost finished and is now being mastered.

To give you a taste of how it will sound and what the meaning of this EP is, I've put 3 of the 4 songs on the Spleen myspace.
Some of you might know of a couple of songs, but they are altered.

The brand new song is FLOWERDROPS.

If you're interested, here is the philisophy behind the EP :

This EP is very symbolic and has a lot of meaning to it. It's about
the 4 human temperaments (choleric, phlegmatic, sanguine and
melancholic) and how they match our seasons and specific feelings. I
have made 4 songs that each tell another story: we all fit in this EP,
as every human being has got an own temperament and relates to that
respective song on my EP.

Here is a list of the structure of the EP to make it al clear :

Choleric temperament - summer - song on EP : Sun Salution
Phlegmatic temperament - winter - song on EP : Winterbeams
Sanguine temperament - spring - song on EP : Flowerdrops
Melancholic temperament - autumn - song on EP : City Of Sleeping Birds
love me
