AE van Elst Projects

''It was great to work with Eelco and Arjan! I had to get used to the fact that the arrangements kept changing. Sometimes when I had sung something and came back the following week the song was completely different! But that was because Eelco and Arjan really look for the most special soundscapes and the most original arrangements. It kept getting better and better! Eelco and Arjan put a lot of love, time and attention into their music!”

"AEvanElstProjects Musik geht weiter wie nur Musik. Sie kommt aus einer anderen Ebene, die nicht jeder begreift. Ein visuelles Kunstwerk in Form von " besonderer Fotographie" erlebt erst durch diese besondere Form der Musik seine Bestform. Die Zusammenarbeit war durch viel gegenseitiges Verständnis fürs Projekt geprägt. Einfach und unkompliziert." "AEvanElstProjects music goes further than just music. It comes from a different level that not everyone understands. A visual work of art in the form of "special photography" only experiences its best form through this special form of music. The cooperation was characterized by a lot of mutual understanding for the project. Easy and uncomplicated."

"When I contacted AEvanElstProjects to compose the music for my book KLARKA; the starting point was quite difficult as the book was in the Czech language. I was already familiar with Arjans music and him being a creative person so I had trust in them. I gave them a short description of each chapter of the children's book. After a few weeks they sent me the composed music for each chapter. The music matched the content without having to change anything. It has become a very nice addition to the book! It was surprising to me that they did not ask for any details before they started or during the composing itself. Here lies their quality - they could sense very well, without knowing the language, what the message of each chapter was and also they did understand the complete story of the book. When someone creates something new, one needs people around them who will support and inspire this process to maintain the flow of the creation itself. AEvanElstProjects does that very well; this is one reason why I would choose them again."

"Hi , Piet Koster from SPHINX GALLERY Amsterdam here. I make short psychedelic videos based on liquid light. Like we used to do in the 60-70’s as a background for live pop concerts. For my visuals I love collaborating with musicians, always looking for original music that will fit to the atmosphere of my images. In 2021 I did two projects with Eelco and Arjan, VOYAGE and SPRING TIME. A great cooperation with a lot of exchange of ideas. On my request they even changed a synthesizer tune into a destorted guitar solo."

I am more than happy with the music I asked for two Sacred Yoga Meditation sessions on video. I wanted specifics things as in video 1 ’no chords’ and in video 2 ‘in C or F please’ and I love spacey soundscapes. What makes the music I received even much better than what I hoped for, is the true Heart connection AEvanElstProjects has in playing piano. Beside where it’s meant for, it's heart touching beautiful music to listen to. Also studio wise technically everything was possible: 432 Herz, 120 minutes in a12 minute loops and the specific kind of sound I wanted. And speed delivery, all in one week time. Looking forward to make a whole series of this.
