Tamar Bastiaan



KAMPEN - Tamar Bastiaan and Michel van Dijk will present their new CD 'A New Dawn' on November 11 under the band name Brainwavez. The band meets again after a ten-week break in which Tamar concentrated on his study rights. Now is the time for a new start. Before the bridge, the band reviewed nine new tracks.

'Ode to Joy'

Brainwavez: "The opening track of the plate in which the" new life "is welcomed and life lessons are transferred to the new generation. The text of this song is written as a result of the birth of our niece Jodi Joy. Still, a joke is also hidden. 'Ode to Joy' is of course the title of a poem by German poet Friedrich Schiller. '


'Archerman'

Brainwavez: "A song about returning to where you come from. About the importance of music make with friends and family. It is also the fictional person 'Archerman' that is found in all of us. This Archerman has always tense his bow. Focusing on the rose to go straight to his goal. But the bow can not always be tense. Therefore it is important to celebrate the reins to welcome the surprises in life. "

'Sweet Jamaica'

Brainwavez: "The base of this track was devised by Spirit Zero in which Michel used to sing. The music was devised by the Kampenaar Hans Koek. During a party, Michel played this song on an acoustic guitar and Tamar immediately had some nice suggestions. The number is written on the spot. It has become a true 'Love Song', in which the intoxicating and the summer's sides of love are central. For this, a video clip was shot in the 12 major cities of the Netherlands. "

'Endless Summer'

Brainwavez: "Baby got lost on that one way street tonight, still she believes in that endless summer. Someone is lost in the night, but the light of the morning has not yet been forgotten. The main character sees an endless summer, a place where you are always free and happy. The song is written as a story in the form of a dialogue between two people who still care, but who do not dare to express themselves. "


'Roots of the artist'

Brainwavez: "This issue basically concerns the importance of someone's origin. Knowing your own past and background. The artist, artist or person in general must be in contact with his origin to produce essential things. It's also a two-way battle: choosing life as a musician with many challenges or life in the corporate world with all financial security. The song is a tribute to the late artist Anton Heyboer. "

'Summer Rain'

Brainwavez: "Your relationship goes out. In short, inspiration all over the place. What do you have to do with it? Right! Put thoughts on paper. This song reflects on the complexities that can be associated with relationships between people. A break up can sometimes feel like cooling rain on a sultry summer day. Should we embrace or cry laughingly because the sun does not shine? The song is a momentary recording. That's exactly what numbers Michel and Tamar mean: the thoughts and feelings of human brain waves (Brainwavez) caught in sound! "

'Compassion'

Brainwavez: "Life is not black and white. It's gray. Judging another is one of the worst things for the world. It's good to listen, be empathetic and have compassion with the people around you. This is a striving, kind of living attitude you have to practice. 'Embrace the light'. Look for the light in the other. This song was an expression of how music can bring people together. "


'Something Else'

Brainwavez: "This is a funky song with a somewhat shaky subtitle. The main character is a club ganger who does not shy away from the ladies. Actually, it's a fictional story in which it seems to be told that good things should not be ruined by volatile pleasures, but that it may also be that you can succumb to the weight of the night and dive into the flame. The number is especially airy. Just nice to dance. "

'A New Dawn'

Brainwavez: "The cover of the record has an optimistic tone: It's a new dawn, it's a new day. Come on, because you're staying. It's a new dawn, It's a new way. Let's start all over, come with me. If things collapse in life, there is often a new way that you can hit. A new opportunity, a new morning that greets you like a friend. This number is a unit with the opening number 'Ode To Joy: the beginning and the end'. But every end has a new beginning! "Www.brainwavez.eu.
