I'll be recording the drums for my own project 'For All We Know' coming weekend.
Léo Margarit will be handling the drumsticks and Stephen van Haestregt will be engineering. Good stuff!!!

Good to see them busy still.

Hello my friends,

how have you been?

I've been great, thank you!

Two weeks ago I recorded the drums for "For All We Know". Léo Margarit did a great job handling the drumsticks and brushes. Stephen van Haestregt did an equally great job at pressing the buttons and lending me his ears from a drummers side of view...
I'm editting a little bit here and there before I move on with recording the guitars and giving Kristoffer Gildenlöw the tracks so he can record his beautiful basslines...

I've added a couple of pictures from the recording sessions under the 'pics' page on my website; www.ruudjolie.com

What else is new? Let me see... Oh yeah me and my girlfriend got Balou a little friend. Her name is Pip and she's terrorizing Balou 24/7. In a playful way that is. It's great to watch...
I'll post some pics soon... (Sorry, maybe you're absolutely not interested but I'm a sucker for cats so....)

Well, see you later...

Aww I love cats too. I hope Ruud posts pictures soon.

Ooo nice pictures and he got a new cat awww

I've just started recording the acoustic guitarparts for my album. I haven't done the electric parts yet but I had to do some recordings for WT and I still have that really nice mic (Blue 9612) and preamp (TubeTech mp1a) I used for that at home so I thought 'why not?'

I have two really nice amps at home for testing. It's the Mr. Hector and the Alligator from Laboga. My first impression is really good. I'm gonna test them thoroughly when I get back from vacation. I'll keep you posted...

Recordings for his album and WT. Finally a bit of WT news so now we know they are recording.

It's good to know that some WT recordings are being done.
I wonder if his solo album will come out before the WT one.

Finally some news on WT glad to hear they are now recording.

WT recordings

I'm even more excited now,I really hope the new album will have a lot of guitar sound (i would love more guitar solos like on the live version of TTBTR)

Well, it's been a while since I've updated my site...

Eventhough it was summertime I have kept myself pretty busy. I spent quite some time in the studio recording stuff for my solo album. I still have a long way to go but I like where things are going. I'll keep you updated...

On monday I'm gonna start teaching at Rock City Institute. A new music college in Eindhoven. Besides giving guitarlessons I'm gonna teach musictheory. First time for me as a teacher in front of a blackboard instead of with a guitar on my lap. I'm excited!

I've also picked up the 'Maiden United' project again. It's probably gonna be released somewhere in may 2010. It's gonna be great!

And I'm spending quite some time learning all the music I'll be playing with the 'Damian Wilson Band' (DWB). We'll be hitting the stage in less than a month. Check out my 'live' section...

Within Temptation will release a new live album; "An Acoustic Night at the Theatre". It's a live recording of one of the theatre tour shows. The last song on the album is a brandnew song called 'Utopia'
The album will be released end october/beginning of november...

Lucky students.

I want to learn guitar.Only if Ruud is my teacher

Yeah me too! I tried the whole "Self'-taught" thing, but it didn't work out for me. So I do want to learn how to play the guitar...real bad, but I need some some sort of instructor. I should go to the Netherlands as some sort of college exchange student o_O...badass!

Ruud can teach me any time bring back the cane.

Yeah so he really did not take a break did he? He sounds so busy. I want some more news on FAWK.

I'm so excited to see Ruud with The Damian Wilson Band. Not that far away now.

Lucky students! I reckon we should all invade

OMG he likes anime and comics. And he has a furry hat with ear flaps...WIN!

I officially totally love him.

Yeah, when I saw Ruud with that fluffy hat thingy, I was like "BADASS!"

The hat is a hit.
I posted it on my facebook, I loved it so much hahaha

Lol. It was just so random though. It's like BAM! FURRY HUNTING HAT FTW!

It makes me want to get a furry hat
