Recording FOR LIFE

[Steve]

Guido Aalbers produced Bertolf's debut album For Life and also the album for Bauke's band Cool Genius. He has recorded, produced, or mixed some of the world's most successful artists.


Bertolf and Guido Aalbers

Here is the MySpace page of Guido Aalbers:

Here is how he describes himself:

"If you had to label myself it would be: Mixer / Producer. I am Holland-based and my credits encompass a wide range of genres, and include international acts like: Coldplay, Live, Franz Ferdinand, Angie Stone, Muse, Queens of the StoneAge, Counting Crows & national acts like: Miss Montreal, Beef, Jeremy's, Krezip, Intwine, Bertolf. Check out my site for more info: GuidoAalbers.com"

He produced Coldplay's "Don't Panic", one of my earliest favourites of theirs.

There is a PHOTOPAGE that has photos of the recording both of Bertolf's demo and For Life. I'd sure love to hear that demo!

Bertolf's Studiozeit - at ICP Studios in Brussels, working on his debut album that. He put these YouTubes up to give an impression of what it's like during his recording with Guido Aalbers (and Bauke Bakker, playing drums).

Part II reminds me of my days in college, although I swam and played hackey sack!
