Interview Jesse
Hey Jesse, welcome to Orfeo! Our fans obviously want to know everything about you … favourite colour, favourite food, what music you listen to and what is your favourite beer?
..Jesse remains silent and smiles. He thinks these are weird questions...
Where you involved in making music before Orfeo?
Yes. I've been sitting behind my drums for a while now. At home I also compose a lot of music in my own 'studio'.
You finished your studies Audio Engineering at the SAE of Rotterdam. What did you learn there?
Everything about recording, mixing and studio environment.
You play for a while now together with some Orfeos in Ball Noir where you play the drum computers and sequencers. Do you think you will also play these in Orfeo (besides drumming)?
That depends on the other Orfeos. There are a couple of songs where it would sound very good, but the question is: do we want to go in that direction, since you create a very distinct sound.
What do you do besides Orfeo (other bands/work/hobbies)?
Currently I'm recording the album of a friend of mine. Besides that I'm working on a few projects of my own, but there's no need to hurry in that. When I'm not making music I work as a bartender in a special beers pub.
What's the first time we can see you in action?
I already played with Orfeo the 16th of October on Celt-n-Folk, and I hope to meet more folkies on the Archeon Midwinter Fair (11 and 12th of December, Alphen a/d Rijn, NL).
