Acoustic Duo Live - Ben Poole & Guy Smeets
After years of touring together across Spain, Portugal, England, Scotland, Greece we decided to do a little intimated tour across holland during the pandemic. We didn't know 2 of those nights were gonna be recorded. So listening back to the tracks we could feel the loose “living room” vibe which in our opinion an acoustic live recording should have. Not just the music but a few drinks and some banter makes this a very enjoyable listening experience.
Killer King - AJ PLUG
From acoustic demo’s to full production. Recorded by me in in a farm in Grolloo. We wanted this album to sound as natural as possible. No treated rooms, no expensive studio gear. Just my laptop, a pair of speakers. Most of the demo tracks were used for the final product as this album was all about catching the vibe. Production, sounddesign, string/piano arrangements, guitars, mix and master by me. I also play bass and piano on a few tracks.
