welcome to my siteI'm Roeland Dol, bass guitarist, keyboardist, composer, arranger. I perform, compose and record pop, rock and jazz music. Usually you'll find me in or around my home studio in Utrecht, The Netherlands.Current activities include the vocal/vibe/bass jazz ensemble Club Verbrugge, the on/of jazz Sjarapova quintet and an ongoing stream of new compositions. Future plans: a heavy rock trio, a series of really hip ringtones, a compact opera.On this site, you can read more about me, listen to or watch some of my work, contact me or click through to related sites, or explore the other section. |
News2010, Feb 12; Recording new songs - slowed down because of happy social events - as demo's for a new album - trying to find my sound.2009, Oct 28; New studio gear will dramatically improve my output, soundwise. Toontrack drums, Garritan jazz & bigband sounds, Complete Classic Collection symphony sounds and beautiful Yamaha speakers and - hopefully - some more time to work with them. First public appearance December, Parnassos Utrecht, in a short composition by Joost Kleppe, featuring Frank Irving on countertenor vocals.2009, July 17; Europa Cantat will start tomorrow and I'm happy to perform once more with Dekoor at the opening ceremony. I'll also be the bass player in Johan Rooze's pop workshop plus concert.2009, June 9; Back home and slowly starting up the music activities again, a little slower than hoped for. New equipment, new repertoire, lotta things to sort out. Update: Lake 68 will not surface again.2009, February 1; the Ghana music scene is not at its liveliest up north. The only live music comes from a group of Danish hipsters-on-a-mission and from poorly equiped church bands. Fortunately I have my bass with me and Bach's second cello suite to tie me over. Plus a lot of kids at the school I work at, to drum, play and sing with:)2009, January 2; in two weeks I'll leave for Tamale, Ghana, for three months. I will take my bass
and some other musical equipment and hope to return with fond memories, beautiful recordings and fresh ideas. In the meanwhile, my
Utrecht-based activities will have to hibernate;)
