February Album Writing Month - FAWM.ORG

Roel van Veldt

progress: 37

winner!
joined: 1 month ago
location: Belgium
influences: I love soundtracks, acoustic music, progressive and symphonic poprock

Bio

I'm Roel van Veldt, a piano-oriented composer/songwriter.
I've got a clear preference for downtempo (but no less powerful) music.

I'm open to negociate any kind of FAWM-collaboration. You can freely use my lyrics by just mentioning my name and letting me know, so I can come and read/listen to your adaptation!

All songs are recorded using my Yamaha P140 stage piano and the Zoom H2 recorder.

Most songs are one track recordings, due to lack of time. I would be so happy to find some people here who want to lend their instrument or voice on one of my songs! In that case I don't mind recording separate tracks using that hateful metronome/click track...

Many songs are first takes, in which I only cut (if necessary) false starts.

No mixing, no effects (except the basic Audacity compressor to make it loud enough compared to other recordings and a few failed attempts to add some reverb, since Audacity has no decent reverb effect).

Answering your question about if the strings were fake or not. Yes, like most of my songs, a lot of the instruments are fake.

Roel, thanks for the comment!
barbara 1 day ago

Hi Roel, glad to hear from you again, and I appreciate your comments as usual. Sometime soon I am going to set my jukebox for "Roel" and hear everything you've got! I just listened to your version of my lyrics again and it is so beautiful, so poised, so passionate. Once again, thank you for giving that piece of yourself. Cheers!

Hi Roel,

Thanks for the listen and post on "Logofiles in Love"

>What's that with your sunday songwriter's group? Looks like a wonderful idea, would you mind telling me more about it?

Sunday Songwriter's Group is a forum at www.guitarnoise.com
Every Sunday a new songwriting challenge is posted. You try to write a song on that topic and post it. You comment on other people's songs and they comment on yours as well. I find it a lot of fun and good practice of my songwriting skills.

It's free to sign-up and join.

Thanks for the comment, man! Yeah I'm really happy with how well that song came out, given it was all pretty much made up on the spot. As for piano on Abaddon (it's taken me ages to reply, sorry!), if you're ever down for putting piano on that'd be awesome but don't feel compelled to do so or anything. I'll try and get through a few more of your tunes tomorrow man, I see you've got a few 1 comment tracks too.
musicsongwriter 1 week ago

Thank you so much for listening to my music on Soundclick and for your beautiful comment, also for adding some of the compositions to your station. You are so kind, Roel. Well, I have 35 songs now, not 37 as I deleted some which were based on music I've composed earlier (not during February 10) due to a comment I had about having it among my 14 songs.. Doesn't matter, I've enjoyed FAWM and I've found some amazing collaborators here

I'm glad you liked my myspace songs as well.

Hi! Thanks, I figured out how to export as mp3 in Audacity by now! I would like to improve the recordings a bit before I post anything - or maybe I will just post the imperfect 1st takes - hmm?
I was just thinking how cool it would be to meet a pianist here on FAWM!

Thanks for the comments and MySpace add, glad you like the music! And yeah, your songs don't really give you up for a Metallica fan.
macroman 2 weeks ago

Roel,
Thanks for your kind comments on my soundboard. It's not me singing on Myspace, I have to rely on other peoples talents. So if you are interested in a collaboration, I would be delighted.
And well done on your great songs, all 37 of them.
Julie 2 weeks ago

Roel, thanks so much for your comments and your collaborations. I love what you have done for First Comes the Night and A Life of Their Own. I'm a little sad no-one else has listened to A Life of Their Own because you did such a sterling job. Maybe I need to make the title more interesting.
MAX VANREMMERDEN 2 weeks ago

Wow Roel, sounds like you feel at home here at FAWM.
Great recordings and collabs.
37 tracks ! That's a lot for a FAWMling. Great job sir.
No need to ask if you've had a great time, huh ?
musicsongwriter 2 weeks ago

Hi Roel. Thank you so much for your beautiful posting, that would be great. I'd love to collaborate with you on the quality of the recordings. I'm afraid I'm not a singer though. You can only hear my "voice" on one acapella track: http://fawm.org/songs/5910/ (LOL, see what I mean?)
I only play the piano/keyboard and all the tracks with vocals are with someone else who unlike me has a beautiful voice
Nadia
lgilbert 2 weeks ago

I would love to do more collabs with you in the future. We can easily put up more demos for the submitted lyrics even though FAWM is over, so if you see anything you want to work with, just let me know. I have finally gotten myself a keyboard and a mixing program so once I've taught myself how to play well enough, I'll finally be able to post my own demos. I'm doing pretty well so far even though I haven't even had the keyboard a week yet, so I'm sure I'll be able to post demos of my own by 50/90. I can't wait. Good work, you almost did a triple FAWM.
barbara 2 weeks ago

Hi Roel,
Glad you liked "chaos of desire (love is an ocean)" - but I really can't take credit for that metaphor idea; it's actually a short line lifted from Sheila Chandra's gorgeous chant "Ever So Lonely/Eyes/Ocean" and it was the scale I was working in that brought it to mind and it seemed to want to go in the title. I hope that's not infringement. Anyway, I'm really satisfied with that one. I'm playing it in my car and everything and it just gives me this big smile! I loved your remarks. It's been really great having your support through this FAWM experience. -- Barbara

Rock!! Thanks for comments on She's The Queen. Actually it's not just the ad lib vox that are stolen ideas...i think the whole song is stolen from so many rock cliche bands, I forget!

Will be tuning into some Roel chowns this evening!

Roel, you are funny and have great taste. If my voice sounded like Neil Young's to you (even for a second) then you are an imaginative genius! I'm tuckered out -- I'll check out more of your cool songs this next week...
Roel van Veldt 2 weeks ago

Hey FAWMers!

I found out I've got 14 collabs. That's the most beautiful experience I had in my first FAWMing time. Thank you all for the smooth collaborations and the shared passion for word & music. I'm so grateful too for all the lovely comments. You all made my day... no, my month!

sueawesome 2 weeks ago

wow!!! I finally got to listen to your demo...(have been pretty busy the last few days). I love how intense you get in the song....and then quiet. I think it captures the essence of what I was trying to tell in the lyrics....that feeling of I have something important to do....and yet that important thing was a quiet little moment. Really cool your interpretation. I wish I could play piano.
Thanks for taking them on, I love to see what people do with what I write.

ps. If you want me to do any production/arrangement, I'd be happy to!

Hey Roel, sorry I've been away, thanks for your kind comments on How Long Since the Sun!

If we can still collab, I;d lvoe to do that..but i fear I may have left everything a little late this year.
Leslie 2 weeks ago

Hi Roel! Thanks for your feedback on Slate. Bob and I collaborated on Alabaster as well, if you haven't heard that one yet.

I'm glad you felt inspired to do more improvisation on the piano. The instrument really lends itself to the process, and all sorts of interesting things pop up while you're just playing around.
Julie 2 weeks ago

Roel, I have added you as collab for A Life of Their Own in new listing because it was one of my early songs yet one of your last.

barbara 2 weeks ago

Hi Roel,
Thanks for the pep talk! I am definitely falling into the trap of not wanting to earn a reputation here for lame music, so it helps to keep reminding myself this is for my own growth and for fun, not for any accolades (but the positive comments are really intoxicating!). And yep, I'm still going for it; I've got Saturday and Sunday mostly set aside, so look out! And congratulations on your great output!! I'll be back for more listening in March and beyond... but I couldn't resist listening to your most recent (#31). Left a comment there also.
Cheers!
Barbara
P.S. Glad you enjoyed Leslie's work

For real? Of course, I would love to! I agree that I did sing way too quietly, but I was planning to re-record it again anyway. Thank you for considering to put some piano accompaniment, I'll drop by some time to tell you if I'm done re-uploading it.

Hi Roel,
Thanks for the nice comment on "i need to walk away" demo. And if you're interested in other piano/voice-only artists on FAWM, you might check out Leslie, if you haven't found her already : http://fawm.org/fawmers/leslie/ -- Her music is quite lovely, and has really great vocals as well! I think you'll appreciate her too.

jadesongbird 3 weeks ago

Thanks for the sweet comments! I actually have melodies, and sometimes even the chord structure, for all of my lyrics. What I lack is a way to record them and put them online! But I'm glad you like them.
Morti 3 weeks ago

I wanted to avoid the similarity to Poison on Black Month Where but that's just how it came out. It's fine though, Poison is a pretty cool song.

I don't have a drum kit so I use Jamstix 2; worth getting hold of if your multitrack software supports VSTi because it makes drums so easy. You just put in the bars, style and drummer personality.

Thank you for your comments, Roel, and for your interest. Wouldn't you know it, I'm in discussion with someone off-site about that particular lyric (I should have indicated it). But it's possible I'll get back to you.

Hi Roel, I just wanted to let you know that I have now posted my demo of "i need to walk away" so I thought you might like to hear how that came out.

Still up for you posting your interpretation, if it's something you're pursuing. Cheers!
Audita Sum 3 weeks ago

Ha, I don't think ukulele trance folk is a real genre. Someone just called my song that in one of the comments, so I used it.
dunwich 3 weeks ago

Prog-collab huh? I'm certainly keen, but wondering if it could be done in so few days. Prog tends to mean lots of different sections, though of course that's not neccessary. We could definitely give it a shot though!
expendablefriend 3 weeks ago

Hey Roel, just catching up on listening and commenting and saw your comments on my page, thanks!

Having listened to a number of your songs it's obvious that you're a very, very talented pianist - you can do everything from full-on power to twinkling beauty on those keys, with impeccable timing. Although I (very unfortunately) can't play the piano I can imagine that it might be a bit harder to fit arrangements to piano songs than guitars, particularly when you're capable of covering so much of the keyboard with your piano parts - I guess it doesn't leave so much room for other layers? Actually I thought the strings you put over "From the Onion to the Juice" worked really well. There's definitely room for some backing vocals on some of your songs, whether it's ooohs and aaahs or harmonies over a few select lines that you really want to emphasise. Perhaps you could even experiment with some female backing vocals over delicate lines?

Ultimately, it seems to me that putting much more over
expendablefriend 3 weeks ago

.......some of your songs might over-complicate them - it would be a shame to obscure the beauty of those piano parts. If you can't think of anything else to add to them, maybe that's just telling you that they don't need anything else......When I was listening to your songs I honestly didn't think "this REALLY needs a ...[insert instrument name] part here" at any point.

Anyway, those are my rambling thoughts on arrangements! I'll check back again later in the month to hear some more Roel songs, but first I've got to get me those 14....

*edited to make more sense having been chopped in two!*

Marlene*** 3 weeks ago

Thanks for the offer of adding music. But..I do have music for them. The problems have been lack of time ..i teach music and we are working on finishing an album..and then the last couple days our apogee (recording device) that we just got at Christmas went haywire. Too late to buy the guarantee and the ebay person won't give us money back...but I think I've found a way around it..since part of it still works. The other problem is me wanting something to be perfect (my voice..the melody line that is still being processed..) before recording. But I hope to get some of them up. Thanks for the wonderful compliment on my words. It really helps.

barbara 3 weeks ago

Hi Roel, thanks for your encouraging words! And also for listening and friending me on myspace. Those tracks are a totally different vein for me, right?

And yes, I would really love to hear you interpret "i need to walk away." Although I have my own version cooking in the wings, I am very curious to see how others would take off from just my words and add their own style and feeling. So please do! If you want to post it from your end and include me as collaborator, that would be best, since I think I will eventually post my own demo version at some point. Does that work for you?
nightengale 3 weeks ago

Congrats on that number of great songs!
Paul Milne 3 weeks ago

Hi Roel, thanks for the comment on the mime song. And for the correction of the French. By the end of February that chorus should be perfect lol!

I'm a bit of a slower paced writer, and I don't have a set-up at home, so it's always a bit of a lottery when/if things get recorded. I'm only just now writing some chords and recording things from last 50/90, but hopefully I'll get a few demos up before the end of Feb. I put up some new lyrics today, so things are rolling along ...
Jay Africa 3 weeks ago

Hi, Roel! Thanks for the feedback and congratulations to finishing more than your 14 well before the end of the month \m/,

You called it: the backing vocals for "One By One" were absolutely improvised. It's definitely on my list of things to redo if I have time before February is over. I look forward to listening to your songs

Thanks for your kind words on my version of sueawesome's 'I Feel it All Around' -- it definitely pulled something unique out of me! I noticed you want to interpret it also, and although I don't speak for Sue, her bio notes do state "If a demo has already been tried on by another artist, don't let that hold you back from doing your own take." Can't wait to hear how you hear it!

Hello again, just added you as a collab to the song (forgot before)
Julie 1 month ago

Hi Roel, thanks for taking on the challenge of this song. I have changed the title and some related lyrics. The meaning is only very slightly different.
In this song,and in Rod's quote, the statement "first there is the night" asserts that night is being experienced now with the suggestion it will last longer and that this is the nature of grief (I suspect he is respectfully standing ground against those who quote The Bible verse "joy comes in the morning" as a platitude).
"First comes the night" is a more universal idea suggesting the cycle of joy-suffering-joy. As I said the difference is subtle.
Hope that helps.

You are free to change/ alter the lyrics any way you see fit for your composition. I will absolutely add you as a collaborator -- made my day! I'll tag your name onto both songs. Good luck and let me know if I can help in any way. Thanks again, Ellen
lgilbert 1 month ago

I think it would be fine without finding a female to sing it really, but if you want to, then by all means feel free. I don't know many females on here honestly (three or four I think), and while I have a few ideas about who would sound good singing it, they most likely would not have the time with all their other commitments. I am sure there are others out there that would be willing to do so if you want to put an ad out for the possibility, but in all honesty, I like the song as it is. Feel free to make as many improvements to it that you feel is necessary though.

Oh and btw, L is for Laura.
MAX VANREMMERDEN 1 month ago

Hey Roel.
I only do Dutch songs on stage sometimes, but them I improvise them. If someone is leaving for a trip, when it's someones birthday, when I just had a parking ticket from the police etc.
But I don't have Dutch songs recorded. And I don't have any plans to do so.

Are you having fun here on FAWM?
Julie 1 month ago

Roel, thanks for your kind comments. Are you interested in doing piano for First Comes the Night? At this stage I think the other lyrics you mentioned have been adopted by others. I like multiple versions but I'm not sure about the other collaborators (I will ask them though).

Roel van Veldt 1 month ago

Hey everyone, I looked in the forum for challenges. One is to write an artist-alike song. Some people here seem to compare my style with Bowie (feel very pleased with that ). Why wouldn't I write a Bowie song? I'll call it "Doppelganger Oddity". Well, why won't I just take two challenges in one and make a complete Bowie album in one take? Check it out by the end of the week whether I made it. (Aaaaaarrrgggghhhh when & how am I gonna do this?!?!)

Roel

P.S. I'm writing it down publicly so I feel more obliged to find time to take up these two challenges...

cheerios 1 month ago

Roel,
Thank you so much for the kind words. Means a lot. To answer your question, I most definitely was NOT improvising the lyrics to 'Something is Fear.' I had written them out in a notebook and played the song through a few times before I recorded it. Thats pretty much how my songwriting process goes. I'll write some lyric, and generally have an Idea about melody... and then I will pick up my guitar and match chords and rythyms and riffs to the lyrics until i have a song. I wish I was talented enough to improvise and freestyle lyric. Maybe someday...

Thank you Roel, I cannot wait to hear it.

Do you want me to put you as cowriter so you can post the demo to the original lyrics, or do you want to just post it separately? I suppose it all depends on how many changes to the original lyrics were needed. Just let me know. Either way is fine with me!

Thanks!!

Roel,I'd feel very challenged, but I love a challenge, I've only done it once a one of the sites I post to. That one was smooth jazz so was easy, country would be east for me too, but something like rock is way over my head but I'd always try, to see it I could do it or not.
