Bio:

Pieter Nooten

"With a mix of vocal tracks and instrumentals, Pieter Nooten is a most original and unique artist to emerge in. If you remember the fragile, tunefull and emotive music of Pieter in his collaboration with Michael Brook ('Sleeps With The Fishes', 4-ad.com), 'Collected' (twilight-records.com) and the brand new 'Here Is Why' (rocketgirl.co.uk) will not let you down. Slow, serene, peaceful, gorgeous, brilliantly executed, ultimately satisfying material. Lush synth and string atmospherics flow through both albums. Nooten's vocals have a sad, hushed element about them, creating a even more emotionally forceful atmosphere.

"In 2010 Nooten signs with www.rocketgirl.co.uk and his always somewhat obscure and mysterious image has finally made way to a more communicative one, working on an intimate and briliant audio/visual live show. ‘Here Is Why’ -release date sept. 2010- contains a collection of Nooten’s finest new work. Sweet, delicate compositions with a minimalist initial concept, further explored through deep layers of harmonies, which have defined Nooten’s music through the years. Music inspired not by pop, but by 17th century baroque music. Nooten insists: “I never listen to any pop music I am afraid. Without wanting to sound pedantic at all, -I cannot write or read music- I am more influenced by the depth and beauty of the simplest Bach fugue than by most modern pop..."
