Marlou Koevoets, 'AGRO Sessions' Saturday May 4th 2013.

Marlou Koevoets (Stolwijk/Gouda), In Session.
Recorded: May 4th 2013, former ‘AGRO Studio.
Tracks: Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda (TK 1-5)/Silent Home (TK 1-2)/Safety Zone.

Note: asked to help out on recording demo-less acts for the new ‘Huiskamer van de Stad’ livingroom-festival, I got the keys to the deserted studio, once the heart of Gouda’s local service radio station for the hospital and elderly homes in town. Since they ceased to exist, but needed to sell the studio, it was convenient to use the studio occasionally, to keep it in working order. The second session was with Marlou Koevoets, member of the festival organization, co-supervising the sessions that day. As one of ‘her’ guitarists doubled in ‘Op Visite’, she invited her bassplayer to come as well, for a small scale acoustic set. Since Marlou has a much stronger voice, it became apparent that the studiomikes had too much pickup-leaking, so we not only switched some mikes, but moved Marlou to the hall, where she could sing without disturbance. The session was a wrap then within the hour.

Marlou Koevoets, Live 'On Air' Friday May 3rd 2013.

Marlou Koevoets (Stolwijk/Gouda), live on air.
Recorded: May 3rd 2013, ‘Gouwestad Radio Studio 2.
Tracks: Safety Zone/Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda/Silent Home/What You Changed In Me.

Note: Gouda area based band around singer Marlou, who also runs her own vocal coaching company. Whilew preparing to graduate from conservatory, she gathered her band around her, to support her in her own theatrical piece/graduation project ‘Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda’. IKnbetween the interview they performed several tracks semi-acoustic. The drummer sat outside the studio, playing his electronical drumkit. Making his own monitor mix of the instrument output and a linefeed from the studio, he accidentally caused a loop, which distorted most of the drums, alas.
