Unconventional Beauty

About Me


English
Unconventional Beauty started out as a one man project. "not that she cares - rebirth of a brother" was a birthday present for Joshua Dellaert's younger drum 'n bass loving brother Jonathan. The result was more than pleasing. Over time Unconventional Beauty has evolved to become a live band as well as a studio project.
The soundtracks of computergames such as Megaman, Ninja Gaiden, Life Force Salamander, Colony Wars, Faxanadu, Koji Kondo's work for Nintendo, etc. were a big inspiration for the original reason tracks. Classical composers J. S. Bach, Tsjaikovski, Smetana and drum 'n bass & breakbeat demi-gods Roni Size, Squarepusher, London Electricity & Aphex Twin have been a big influence as well.
Nederlands
Unconventional Beauty begon als een eenmansproject. Het door Joshua Dellaert in Propellerheads Reason geprogrammeerde "not that she cares - rebirth of a brother" was een verjaardagscadeau voor zijn drum 'n bass minnende broer Jonathan. Ondertussen is Unconventional Beauty naast een studioproject ook een volwaardige liveband.
Grote bron van inspiratie voor het originele sequecewerk zijn computergamesoundtracks uit de jaren '80 en '90 (Megaman, Ninja Gaiden, Life Force Salamander, Colony Wars, Faxanadu, alle soundtracks van de hand van Nintendo's huiscomponist Koji Kondo, ...), J. S. Bach, Tsjaikovski, Smetana en drum 'n bass en breakbeat grootheden zoals Roni Size, Squarepusher & Aphex Twin.
