Joost tells:
“Hai folks, my gut says speak again! Yes, I’m still breathing…. musically the most. It’s that time of the year. 12 songs this time, more than enough to get you all hooked. I can only go with the natural flow and there were a lot of ideas, but the songs I’ve chosen fit the best on this album. Writing and playing are always the most fun part of the proces, mixing and mastering took a while. The album is called Collapse and it will be released 6 june 2025 on all the regular online streaming platforms.
That title almost immediately came up, because of a picture my wife took of me during a casual walk on a very long bridge from island to island (and it eventually inspired the front cover). A bridge to what? I guess the most obvious explanation behind the title is the turmoil in the world of today and how I look at it in general. The fear. Angst. Anger. Total breakdown. Will I cross over? What will happen? Will the bridge collapse? At any moment?
The final result, if you see it in a more light-hearted way, you can see what will cause the collapse of this crossing. Is it some white paint or milk? Well, you can use your imagination I guess.
The songs
But how do I keep the music upbeat? It sounds easy, but simply, I cannot write when I’m down, unhappy, sad. I’m a fly on the wall. The songs come in a spur of waves and sometimes real fast afterward the awkward feelings. I’m more self-reflective after the troubles of life and I like that! It can be anger or joy, but that’s all the energy I need. Like a SpongeJoosTVD, I suck it (what?) all in and push it out.”
