Look ma! I made a new cover for Vocal Life of a Kelly based on a track from Final Fantasy 14!

I already loved Soken's original composition, but I wanted to try to expand the dynamics of it a bit. Hope I succeeded. (You fans may be the judge!)

Also, I had way too much fun adding horns that went BWOOOOOOARP and guitars that do DUHDUHDUHDUHDUHDUH on this among other things.

And of course, kudo's to Kelly Thans for understanding the assignment in terms of voice use. I feel this has ALL her voices haha.

Have a great tuesday!

A bit of a historic day today. The first proper single I produced in The Imagineering Suite studio 2 at SDGHUBnl (Recorded last year and finalized a bit ago) is now live for everyone to hear!

Sophie Malon is a lovely singer songwriter who (in this case at least) created a very dreamy song called Float and I had the pleasure to produce, record and mix/master this thing. Also I made the little visualizer thing you can find on YouTube now.

Very curious to hear what you all think!

(Well, it's been a while since I posted here, but I wanted to share this new business development! It is in Dutch though, so the language will switch right about,... now!)

De laatste tijd heb ik vaker vragen gekregen over mijn nieuwe werkplek bij SDG Amersfoort en ik kan daar natuurlijk van alles over vertellen... Maar een filmpje waarin ik het onder andere vertel, is veel leuker!

In deze onderstaande video, gemaakt door stagiair Bram Scholten, zie je de mensen die werken bij SDG Amersfoort zoals Paul Van Heel & Tibbe Warnier en wat wij daar allemaal doen.
En ja, op deze locatie heb ik mijn tweede studio gebouwd die je in de video ook kan zien!

Veel kijkplezier en mocht je interesse hebben in mijn werkzaamheden in studio 2 of ons werk bij SDG, kan je altijd contact opnemen of kijken op deze website:

Prettige dinsdag!

This is what 20 years of creating, producing, writing and living music looks like.

So yeah, tomorrow (22nd of July) I am turning 34 which means I have been doing this music thing for 20 years... Crazy how fast time flies.

I can say a million things about people making fun of me for these dreams and/or telling me that , but I think the body of work speaks for itself. Happy that my perseverance has brought me this far and the hunger isn't gone... Not by a long shot. ;) Expect many more cool things in the near future!

And to celebrate this, I am doing a special sale on the TDW music webstore on all products with 20% off! You can get 20% off by using the code:

tdw20years

All merch sold now will immediately contribute to the making of new album, so feel free to pick something up!

Posting this today as I will be taking the next few days off. See you all again in a few days!

Another Disney cover I wrote/produced here at The Suite for Vocal Life of a Kelly and The magical life of Chay.

I decided to add a Cajon to an otherwise acapella song for a pulse and rhythmic structure and I am very happy with how it turned out. Playing Cajon is fun, who knew! :P

Have a great sunday everyone!

Thankyou for watching my version of the song A Pirate's life (originally from the movie Peter Pan) ft. Chayenne de Theije! Please like and share this video...

It's not often that I get to produce a ballad song for someone that also gets turned into a full blown cosplay music video, but here we are!

Had the pleasure to create and produce the music for this cover of the song "I Won't Say I'm in Love" from Disney's Hercules soundtrack performed by The magical life of Chay featuring Vocal Life of a Kelly. Also had the pleasure to do a hard rocking version of the song "Zero To Hero" for these ladies as well before (Check first comment for that link)

Vocals were recorded by the ladies in their home studios and I then set out to create the orchestrations and complete production around it. Love doing these kind of jobs as it feels great to hear it all come together in the end.

Well done ladies, here's to many more cool covers to make for your channel!

Thankyou for watching my version of the song I won't say i'm in love ft. Kelly Thans ( vocal life of a kelly)! Please like and share this video is you liked...

The best part about being a studio owner like me, is that you can work on things that expand your horizons a bit. And so I was asked by fellow entrepeneur & friend Renate de Boer to handle the music and production for her first podcast under the Monkeyproudkids label.

This podcast is meant for small kids (ages 1/4-ish) and features a combination of Renate's calming voice, atmospheric music and simple concepts that subtly challenge them to expand their inner world. I quite liked working on this and will hopefully be involved in more episodes in the future!

Check out the first episode in Dutch here:

Check out the first episode in English here:

Here's to hoping this will find a great audience and it may inspire kids worldwide!

Content makers, open your ears because I have something for you:

--- TUNES DONE WELL - FREE STOCK MUSIC FOR YOUR PRODUCTIONS! ---

http://www.tunesdonewell.com

Hey there content makers of all sorts, this one is for you! It's free loopable stock music! That you can use!

Yes, you read it correctly, I started a brand new website and initiative called "Tunes Done Well" which stands for free music that YOU can use in your videos, videogames, D&D sessions, Tiktok vids and whatever you could use it for.

The website now hosts 23(!) different loopable mini songs in styles ranging from classical to hiphop to folk to EDM and much more! So there is a good chance that there might be something you can use in there.

I make a lot of music and not all is suited well for my career as a musician and writer, but I felt that it was a shame not to share it with the world in one way or the other. So that's why I set this up. Tunes Done Well will become a place where I will update new songs whenever inspiration strikes! If you like what you hear, you can use the donate buttons on the site to donate to my paypal or you could just contact me directly and see what we can do. ;)

Anyway, hope you contentmakers will be able to use this!

Got this wonderful testimonial in from one of my coaching clients, which made me very happy indeed:

"Tom coaches me with recording, mixing and production. When I read the reviews of his album (TDW Music & Visions - The Days The Clocks Stopped) in iO Pages magazine and heard he had a studio in Amersfoort, I asked him if he was interested in helping me grow. I got a friendly answer saying he was interested. Tom helps me at my home studio with my own setup and programs, so that I am actually making progress. Tom is a very friendly man who teaches me a lot. I am happy that he wants to teach me. He is very knowledgeable and knows how to translate this well."
