About Me

Ever since the days in the ol' shack out back of "El Casa Colbourne" Den Bosch (circa.2002), the combined creative whims of David Colbourne and Christian Hemmen have been diligently at work exploring the boundaries of electronic music and beyond.Long nights and even longer weekends have been the building blocks for the auditorial stimulation that has come to life over the last few years. With both members having a ripe musical background, live instrumentation and acoustic reverberations are fundamental to the Slipper sound.Acoustic drum kit beats (Christian) are recorded live and mixed with electronic drum sounds and samples (David) to fill up the needed ambience. Instruments include an accordian rescued from a skip, acoustic & electric guitars, not forgetting the evergrowing stockpile of synths and other electronic odds and ends that contribute to the melodic chaos. This is Jimmy Slipper. Thank you for your time.
