This is the absolute time-record breaking song I ever did. Just 2 days ago this was just a vague idea in my mind and now I have written, sung and produced a complete song.

This song is my entry for a local radio station that was looking for a new summer-tune. It had to be in the Frisian language (which is fine for me, since I speak it fluently but impossible to understand for you guys) I also figured it had to be very simple so they could use it for extended jingles and program leaders and such. So I came up with a speed-up blues that uses only three chords.

All instruments you hear are BiaB RealTracks, all singing is done by me. Recorded and produced in Cubase 5.5. I used a cheesy preset on my VoiceLive 2 to do the harmonies. I wanted them to be obvious canned and not real. Perhaps this way they will give me the opportunity to record the song over with a real choir

Anyway, if you have four minutes to spare and you would like to waste them: Just click here to listen to my song


By the way: the speaking voices you hear are local celebrities talking about something regarding the lyrics. The lyrics of this song are about summer and why Fryslân (part of the Netherlands) is so great to spend the summer.

I would of-course love to hear what you think of this song, so don't be kind to me: just shoot!
