Chop Wood

Amsterdam based genre-defying singer-songwriter electric-folk-soul. Chop Wood is a solo project by Coparck frontman Odilo Girod. His debut solo album is a mix of electronic and acoustic songs written mostly at night due to his sleeplessnes and insomnia. A diverse batch of eclectic atmospheres sparked with angular remoteness, vivid dreamlike sequences and sweet caustic electricity. Songs about sleepless nights, the strangest thoughts and weird and wonderful dreams. Whatever gets you through the night.


Recorded in Berlin
The 13 songs on the album were recorded in 10 days with producer Maarten Besseling as part of the IN A CABIN WITH project, in a temporary makeshift studio in a room at the Kunsthaus Tacheles in Berlin (may 2008). Several musicians travelled to Berlin to participate such as Finn Kruyning (Moss), Jelte Heringa (Most Unpleasant Men) and Insa Rudolph.

Live
In 2008 Chop Wood did a series of shows with guestmusicians, visuals and live performers crossing the boundaries between a pop concert and a theatre show. In the summer of 2009 Chop Wood played 53 shows during 'De Parade', a travelling theatre show. De Parade transforms the parks in four major Dutch cities into an avenue of theatre, live music, dance, mime acts and cabaret. In 2009 they also did a support act for Jamie Lidell
, played in the Proekt Fabrika in Moskou (and will play again in December) and are going to play in Shanghai (China) in August.

Chop Wood is
Vocals and samplers: Odilo Girod (
Coparck).
Piano, keys, synths and backing vocals: Jelte Heringa
(Most Unpleasant Men).
Drums, samples and backing vocals: Finn Kruyning
(Moss).

Neonbelle

August 2007 marks the month in which Maarten Besseling, Pien Feith and Jelte Heringa left behind the coziness of their homes to record an album in the rural area near the Belgian Lanaken. This undertaking was part of the IN A CABIN WITH series.
Without a specific plan they left Utrecht with a van full of keyboards, synthesizers, a guitar, a banjo and microphones and headed for Belgium. In a small cabin in the middle of the woods the creative juices richly flowed and eight tracks emerged. Songs were written on the spot and Maarten recorded everything. This result is a mixture of fresh electronic beats and hauntingly intimate songs.
Neonbelle might start recording a new record in Czech Republik early 2010.

Awards and best album 2007
Neonbelle was nominated by the biggest Dutch online music magazine 3VOOR12 for the 3VOOR12Awards. By the journalists of 3VOOR12 Neonbelle was already chosen as the best Dutch album in 2007.

Live
In 2008 Neonbelle played a full clubtour in The Netherlands and sold all their CD's within 5 months. Neonbelle also played as a supportact for Beirut in a sold out Paradiso (main hall). The Neonbelle album is still available as a full download on the inacabinwith.com website and as a torrent at Mininova.org.

Neonbelle is
Vocals and guitar: Pien Feith (Neonbelle and Pien Feith).
Piano, keys and synths: Jelte Heringa (Most Unpleasant Men).
Additional live musicians in Canada:
Guitar: Stephan Blazís.
Drums: Finn Kruyning (Moss).

Stan Diego

Stan Diego is one amongst many fallen angels in the musicbusiness. This singer and songwriter, who is still surrounded by a certain mystique, quit the scene after a short-lived and utterly tragic climax in his career. Never to return again, or so we thought. Because to anyone's surprise, he left this black period of self-loathing and depression behind, and moved into the small village of Tonatico (Mexico), to record a brand new album. Our antihero is back, and he is not alone. A search which will lead us, listeners, into a world of soulful popsongs, ectronics, beats and heartbreaking lyrics. This is "The Incredible Comeback of Stan Diego".

Live
Early 2010 Stan Diego played at the biggest showcase festival in The Netherlands EuroSonic/Noorderslag (the Dutch SXSW). In 2009 Stan Diego played at The Festival A/D Werf, an outside city festival in Utrecht in The Netherlands. Stan Diego was also invited to the huge Ollin Kan Festival in Mexico City to play several shows. Summer 2010 Stan Diego will do a full BeNeLux club tour.

Dutch National TV
This session was a part of the In A Cabin With TV series, 3 documentaries about our sessions in Mexico, Thailand and Canada broadcasted September 2009 on Dutch National TV (NPS, Ned2) (watch this episode online).

Stan Diego is
Vocals, keys and samplers: Stan Vreeken (Along Came Stan).
Backing vocals and guitar: Stephan Blazís.
Additional live musicians in Canada:
Drums and samples: Finn Kruyning (Moss).
Synths: Jelte Heringa (Most Unpleasant Men).

the In A Cabin With project

In A Cabin With started in 2005 as an initiative by Maarten Besseling, who invited his good friend and producer Jesse Beuker to join the team in 2008.

In general In A Cabin With is about a collaboration between musicians internationally on a very special location. Every two months In A Cabin WIth is inviting one or more Dutch musicians to travel to a beautiful spot somewhere in the world to write, produce and record an album in collaboration with local musicians, in 10 to 14 days. This location could be a farmhouse in Sweden, a big wooden house just outside Chiang May Thailand, an appartment in New York or a church in Ottawa Canada.

In 2009 we've recorded an albumn in Ottawa Canada with Dutch musicians Steye and Alvin Lewis who worked with Candian musicians: Philipe Lafreniere, Kelly Lee Evans, Jesse Dangerously, Mathieu Coates, Steven Patterson, Jeff Asselin, Jon Bartlett and Zakari Frantz. The album is downloadable on our website here.
We also made a documentary for Dutch National TV which is still viewable online here (Ditch only, sorry).

Possible songwriter gigs during this tour

During this tour it is also possible to do some in-stores, bar venues, livingroom concerts or other small gigs with the 3 songwriters who are already among us on this trip:

Pien Feith (Pien Feith/Neonbelle)
Stan Vreeken (Along Came Stan/Stan Diego)
Odilo Girod (Coparck/Chop Wood)
