René Vis

I LIVE IN HAARLEM, THE NETHERLANDS, MARRIED WITH FELICIA. WAY BACK AROUND 1980 I BEGAN TO RECORD LO-FI MUSIC AT HOME WITH SYNTHS, RHYTHMBOX, GUITAR AND VOCAL, BUT FROM THAT PERIOD NOTHING REMAINED. THE OLDEST TAPES I STILL HAVE ARE MADE IN 1994. AFTER FELICIA AND I GOT STEADY AROUND THE BEGIN OF 2000, I WROTE SOME SONGS ABOUT HER AND RECORDED THEM, JUST WITH GUITAR AND VOCAL. HERE YOU CAN LISTEN TO AND DOWNLOAD THE DEMOS OF HONEYLIPS AND FINGERTIPS AND LOST AND FOUND (ON SOLID GROUND) . WITH THE COMPUTER THAT WE BOUGHT IN 2002 FIRST I MADE TUNES USING MAGIX MUSIC MAKER. YOU CAN HEAR THE RESULT OF THAT ON THE CD "BRIANDA TUNES (PRE-ME)". FROM THEN ON I BEGAN TO DEVELOP ANOTHER MUSICAL STYLE AND CREATE MY OWN SONGS. MY MUSIC IS LABELLED AS "OUTSIDER MUSIC" OR "ELECTROPOP". BESIDES MUSIC SO FAR I ALSO MADE TWELVE VIDEOS.
THE DUTCH NETLABEL WM RECORDINGS RELEASED TWO CD'S OF ME:
“CAPTURED IN REALICA” IN AUGUST 2005 AND “TRADED TIME” IN OCTOBER 2006. THE LAST ONE IS A KIND OF COMPILATION OF MY OTHER CD'S.
ALL MY CD'S ARE UPLOADED TO INTERNET ARCHIVE, WHERE YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THEM INCLUDING THE INLAYS AND LABELS. CLICK ON THE WHITE TITLES AND YOU'LL GET THERE.
