Dutch job: Onderneem het

I recently was asked to create this little video.

It is based on an existing After Effects template that I modified to match the clients wishes.

Furthermore, I matched the video and music to each other (featuring an edited version of an older track of mine) and custom Sound FX.

You can listen to the original track here:

Emagica – Claynote Collaboration


Stop Motion Animation for Happy Song

This wonderful animation was made by talented artist and animator Martine Rademakers, who was in for a nice collaboration and chose one of my old tracks “Happy Song (instrumental)” to make a Stop Motion animation according to her own artistic impression of the tune. The result can be seen here. I hope you all like it. I know I do :)

The music features guitar, bass, and the Korg DS-10 MS10 emulator for my Nintendo DS.


Music produced for the PICNIC innovation festival leader

Recently, I was asked to compose the music for the leader of the PICNIC innovation festival 2012 (thanks to Claynote (adaptive) music). And this is the result.

New collaborations turned cinematic

Two new tracks. Both exciting collaborations.

The first is a new collaboration with Gert Jan Turin, an upcoming DJ from Groningen:

This track is half Emagica and Half Gert Jan. I had a freaky basic setup with heavy beats and violins, and Gert Jan turned it into a a Trance Track with 90′s sounds. I then added more violins and a lot of brass as a finishing touch.

Heay beats, electro, violins and brass.

Listen to it here: Emagica & GJ – Shatttenspiel

 

The second one, is a new collaboration with David Peek (www.davidpeek.nl). I worked with him before on the Goed Genoeg project:

This is basically a setup by David, with chimes, piano and pads, that I added on to in the form of power chords on the electric guitar, pizzicato strings, double basses, harp and trombone.

Cinematic, surrealistic, dreamy, soothing, chimes, piano, pads, guitar, strings, contra bass, harp, trombone

Ninna Nanna per Luna

Two weeks ago, our baby daughter Maan was born.

To celebrate this, I wrote this simple lullaby for her. Enjoy :)

Mendel Bouman Goes Davinci


(Click on the ‘CC’ button for subtitles).

This is my very first video pitch! And also my new campaign against single-mindedness in any field of business. It is a dogma that one person cannot be good at many things and I’ve started my campaign against this dogma to show that there are talented people that can do more than one thing well! Mendel Goes Davinci!

I also made the custom background music that you can listen to seperately here:
Emagica – 42


S.A.M. by WhoMusic and Emagica

S.A.M. is the first collaboration between Saul (WhoMusic) and myself (Mendel), and hence the all inspiring project name: S.A.M.

Coming from to totally different musical backgrounds, we had no idea where this would go, but it quickly developed into a tension filled soundtrack for a dramatic scene with dark synths, bright pads, pushing violins, and more.

WhoMusic laid down the bass line, synths, guitar, and horn.
Emagica laid down the drums, violins, and duduk.

You can listen to the track, here: S.A.M. – WhoMusic and Emagica


Martine Rademakers to make video for Happy Song

I’m greatly pleased to tell you that Martine Rademakers will be making an animation video for the instrumental version of my song: Happy Song.

Emagica – Happy Song (instrumental)

I’m thrilled about this development and very curious to see the final result :) Please make sure to check her website and see all her other awesome animations :)
