EUMETRIS

After they first met early 2003, there was a period of getting to know eachothers ideas and recordings. Very soon it was apparent that both Hans and Bart mutually were very much into eachothers work. Hans picked a few of Barts songs – and Bart of Hans'. Letting their imagination and talents full free flight, the two influenced eachothers material to another, new level of existance. With both respect and love for eachothers music, they got involved in a creative process, parallel to their busy daily lives. Songs were chosen, arranged, re-arranged, re-re-arranged, performed and recorded, and sometimes all over again, either at home or at the Apogee Studio in Alphen aan den Rijn where all songs were mixed and mastered by their good friend René van Hugten.

Two and a half years after their first encounter it all resulted in their first album, 412nd, at the end of 2005.

They never lost sight of each other afterwards and kept in regular contact. They helped each other, where necessary, with studio recordings. Only in 2019, when they both had more time to spend, they got the idea for a second phase of EUMETRIS. Since their album 412nd the phisical distance between them got considerably larger, so it was not an option to visit each other on a regular basis. Fortunately this was not a problem due to the extensive digitization. The various songs for their new album 'The Midnight Laundrette' have been sent back and forth between Hans and Bart dozens of times during the creative process.

The songs were mixed by their good friends René van Hugten (7 songs) and Rob Smit (8 songs). Besides that Rob is responsible for all drums & percussion, synth sounds, and the mastering of all songs. Thanks!
