Music For a While
Johannette Zomer sopraan
Marcel Booij - bass/arrangement
Angelo van den Burg: percussie, mixage, produktie
Cover: Ingrid Jansen
This time a very special session. This number is very appropriate around the holidays in the current circumstances. Marcel Booij and I have been working with the soprano "Johannette Zomer" since 2018. It seemed special to us to rearrange and record a song by Henry Purcell with her.
The result here.
Enjoy!
I Shall remain in Waiting
Angelo van den Burg - Raphaela Danksagmüller
An album of melancholy and longing. The Armenian duduk, the Moldavian Kaval and the Slovakian overtone flute Fujara, together with the handpans, balafon and percussion, form an enchanting combination.
Raphaela Danksagmüller (duduk, fujara, kaval) and Angelo van den Burg (handpan, balafon and percussion) share a deep passion for overtone instruments and melancholic melodies.
In 2018 they met for the first time to make a live recording at the MCO in Hilversum the Netherlands.
This collaboration was so special that the idea quickly arose to make an album together.

Rene Dissel - Leo Janssen - Angelo van den Burg
Rene Dissel is a fantastic bass player in sound and playing. For Leo and Angelo it was a wonderful opportunity to record this composition together. Leo and Angelo have known Rene for a long time and have shared various stages in all kinds of different line-ups.
The synthesis of playing by all three and timbre of the instruments leads to a unique combination.
Besides his life as a musician, Rene is also an extremely talented photographer which resulted in the cover for this song.

Arcobaleno
Leo Janssen - Angelo van den Burg
Since 2019, after their first live concert, there has been a wonderful synthesis between both musicians. They now compose together. 'Arcobaleno' is a composition inspired by Jan Garbarek. Saxophone and percussion together surrounded with soundscapes. It is the common interest that both have for this impressive musician.
