Bram Cools, eccentric eclectic Belgian singersongwriter living in his own musical universe somewhere outside of the box.

I've finished the submission of my 2091 @RPMChallenge 'we are civilised!?'. I'll upload it elsewhere and write more about later on. But the album should be playable here already:

(you can find both old songs on https://t.co/Xgvm2SYP8I in very old versions if you look well enough, one in each collection of the irresistible 21st Century Virgin Boy songs)

I might be working on an EP called 'Unpop Music' for later this summer, but I can't promise much, both the name and the music are still under construction. And it's getting too long for an EP probably, and too short for an actual LP.
These might be the songs on it...

[BramCoolsMusic @BramCoolsMusic]

...or not if I change my mind.
(2 of them are more then 20 years old and are reworked versions of songs from the tapes of The Irresistible 20st Century Virgin Boy, most of the rest is very recent...)

What do you think it'll sound like from the songtitles?

[BramCoolsMusic @BramCoolsMusic]

What's your favourite song on 'I am the Belgian Christian lo-fi scene', and what song should I play live again?

Bram Cools song of the day: you want to rule the seven mountains...

Practicing guitar, but maybe it's time to make more new music too...

@ReinoutEderveen @SonicwareInc @teenageengin33r Ik was maar wat electronische instrumenten aan het uitproberen, de percussie is een samplecollage geprogrammeerd met de PO-33 (die kleine rekenmachine, in feite een mini-sampler met 16-stepsequencer) waar ik dan live de effectjes op veranderde.

[BramCoolsMusic @BramCoolsMusic]

New song, if you can call it that...
I just used a @SonicwareInc liven XFM and a @teenageengin33r P33 for this one.

If you think my music is weird, you haven't heard my brother yet... (now available on vinyl!)

Yes, kraftwerk is great.
Yes, 'radioactivity' is a great album that I want to own on vinyl one day.
And still that beginning of 'Ohm Sweet Ohm' is overdoing it, sorry!

[BramCoolsMusic @BramCoolsMusic]

What meter is 'Abraham' by Sufjan even written in?

(Also, if you have the chance to get 'seven swans' on vinyl, don't doubt and do it!)

[BramCoolsMusic @BramCoolsMusic]

I just realised that the first version of the song I was working on today is the last song I posted on Soundcloud more then a year ago. The new version will be different, not with the PO-33 flute sample noise solos but I might run a stylophone through a distortion for this one...

[BramCoolsMusic @BramCoolsMusic]

Working on new Bram Cools songs, with a new approach of using mainly instruments and weird cheapo hardware electronica (Pocket Operators and the like) instead of DAW piano rolls and step sequencers.

Sinéad O'Connor's version of 'don't cry for me Argentina' was so much better than Madonna's.

[BramCoolsMusic @BramCoolsMusic]

And this is the return of a Hortus Brambonii classic.

[Brambonius @brambonius]

Monastic Coco is a heirloom dry bean, which isn't for sale commercially as far as I know, that was originally grown in English monasteries. #heirloomseeds #heirloombeans
It has a nice yin-yang pattern in white and purplish brown and soaks a bit irregularly, but the taste is good.

[BramCoolsMusic @BramCoolsMusic]

And still 'parachutes' is a genius album, very organic sound as if it's 4 musicians playing together in a room, where 'rush of blood' exchanged that for electronic metronomic layering with a lot less breathing in the music, and it never returned.

[BramCoolsMusic @BramCoolsMusic]

Coldplay is a really weird band. Their first album is one I can put on repeat, the second one is okay with some skippers, the third one has good moments but becomes derivative ('til kingdom come' is fantastic though), and I never listened to a whole album after 'viva'.

[BramCoolsMusic @BramCoolsMusic]

Still thinking of a new 'Essential Bram Cools' compilation.
Anyone more who has an opinion about which songs should really be on it?

[BramCoolsMusic @BramCoolsMusic]

And another part sounds in between that 'if you wanna know if he loves you so, it's in it's kiss' song and Bryan Adams's 'run to you'.
I know way too many songs too not recognise parts of melodies everywhere it seems...

[BramCoolsMusic @BramCoolsMusic]

Those verses of @derekwebb's 'Gift Shop' leave me with U2's 'daddy's gonna pay for your crashed car' in my head afterwards somehow.
