BIO:

Hey! I am Roel van Veldt and I'm a composer and a songwriter. My songs and melodies are born out of improvisations on the piano. I love to improvize on my own as well as before live audiences, out of the blue or on an original theme.
Want to collaborate? Hear from you soon! :-)
Improvise Life Your Way!

I'd love to put music (piano and singing) on your lyrics and It'd be great if you could add your instrument/voice/lyrics to my song or make your own very personal version of it. Just tell me in what way you'd like to collaborate. Thank youououou!

Roel

Hi! I didn't see you'd posted a recording for "Why Did I Think" until just recently. It's really great! Thanks for taking so much time to make it!

Thanks a lot for making something that wonderful out of these lyrics, Roel! :-) I love it!

Hi Roel - thanks for the heads-up about the demos. I loved them! Thanks for letting me in on the collab :D

Roel, thanks a lot for your nice comment, take all the time you need and I look very forward to it... You are free to alter the lyrics in any way as you like or as you regard as necessary. Thanks a lot for taking this effort upon you!

Hi again Roel, maybe we can move this to email? I'm on paul.stephen.milne@gmail.com - drop me a line and I'll send you some suggestions for the songs you're collaborating on.

Hi Roel, got your message and i'm willing to take a look at the lyrics you mentioned. As you can see, I didn't actually change very much of the lyrics I worked with, it helps to have high quality material to start with! Let's hear what Arthur has to say, and then perhaps I can run some ideas by him first?

Hi Roel - as a fellow Arthur Rossi collaborator, you might want to check out my work with him: A Better Man Than Me: http://fiftyninety.fawmers.org/songs/9205

You haven't posted anything in two weeks! Where are you?

Comment by Roel van Veldt
I'm in a great new job since two weeks, I am making music every night, just got no energy left to edit & upload. :-)

by all means, it would be awesome if you made something out of my lyrics.

Roel, thanks so much for all the kind words, the congrats and the honour to collaborate again... it is always a great pleasure to listen to your pieces!!

Hey Roel, I hope you are fine... some hours ago I left a comment on Nadia`s soundboard also containing a reference to you. She told me you might like to read it, too. Although I really meant all the way I wrote, I feel a bit embarrassed to repeat it here now again. If you like, just drop by to her...
kind regards

Hi Roel, thank you for posting a second version to our collaboration, I'm happy with your idea for the lyric :) Could I post our song on Soundclick?

hello, I see you do many collabs. Please come and visit my lyrics to see if there's something there for you. thanks. cc

Hi, of course I remember you from last year! If you want to write music for "Why Did I Think," go ahead. I hadn't had any musical ideas for that, so I'll be excited to see what you come up with.

I think your version works better Roel :)

I meant our collab where you were suggesting some changes.

I posted this on the song page ("How could I know?") but in case you don't see it there: Roel - I really like it! It sounds like a number in a Broadway play...and it is really catchy -- I found myself singing to the melody all day. As always, you took the emotion of the words/story and put them exactly to the right music...thank you. If you want, I'd love to listen to anything else too, just for fun - but please feel free to post this!! XXOO, Ellen

Comment by Roel van Veldt
Thank you Ellen! If you sing the song along, that's a good sign, I think. :-) § Roel

Hi Roel, thank you for yout beautiful comments, Your suggestion for the lyric is perfect :)

Comment by Roel van Veldt
Which one? :-)

Hi Roel!! You have created a very, very beautiful melody, I like it a lot... Thank you... You are truely a virtuoso on the piano!

Comment by Roel van Veldt
Thank you Arthur. It makes me happy you enjoy the song! :-)

Excellent work on "Zen Breakfast" You even captured the dynamics of the song with only a verbally suggested outline. Very nice job on the instrumental bridge and the ending.

Hi Roel! Great to see you here at 50/90! If you're up for a collab, let me know!

thank you, Roel! -- yes sir, please do Your Magic with my lyrics :) I am so glad you are interested. As always, feel free to change as needed.

And again, you're very kind. To try to answer your question about the mix on "The singing planks" - it was thrown together in a hurry for Nick to add his parts. The plan is to get Nick to send me his guitar work as a stem file so I can do a "proper" mix. What you hear in the demo is Nick playing over the top of my rough-cut mp3 that I sent him.

And as for who is singing... that's my little secret. ;)

You are very kind, Roel!

For the record, I make music as a hobby, not as a commercial venture... ;)

Roel, it's probably too much to ask this early, but do you have a lead sheet or similar for Winter Wind? I'd like to use in my evening setlist and I haven't got time right now to learn it by ear!

Roel! Thank you very much for your comments, I was so delighted when reading them! I am looking very, very forward to a possible collaboration. Choose anything you like and it will be an honour to me... Once again, thank you very much for being willing to give a go to "you´re the one for me"...

What, you mean you changed my lyrics??? Haha, of course that's what it is all about - when people create the music they can see what fits and what doesn't and whatever works with your music always works with me. You are awesome Roel! I love your work so much! Please feel free to swap my lyrics and post your version and put your name together with mine for the lyrics and all the musical credit of course :) Thank you so much for your beautiful and so romantic work! Are you okay if I post it on Soundclick?

Hey Roel! I read your bio and love the way you do... I am a pure lyricist and would love to collaborate... If you like and find the time, just drop by and in the case you find anything you like it would be a great pleasure to me if you gave it a go...
Best regards,
Arthur

Hey. If I send you a recording of how I would like one of my songs sung, could you put music to it? :)

Roel,

Contact me at praverb at gmail dot com

I have a reference for The Seed. We can work on something else if you want.

Hi Roel, of course, I'll be delighted :) Adding you as my collaborator :)
Thank you.

Thank you so much for the music to my lyrics. I love it! I love piano so that made it sound even better to me. And I most definitely love the ending of the song. The piano there is gorgeous. You did an amazing job. :)

Comment by Roel van Veldt
Thank you Vickie! I loved doing it.

I've squared things away. Go for it! I

Hi Roel - I would love for you to upload your demo. I end up with multiple artists doing the same lyric set in most Timed Song Challenges; my record is currently 4.

I've set up the page for you, so all you have to do is add the magic link.

I would love to collab...I have no clue how to do it though

I would love for you to put music to my lyris. :) Added you as a collab! Looking forward to hearing it!

Hi Roel, that will be cool!

Hi Roel. Looking forward to hearing your improvisations and vocals!
Nadia :)

Hi Roel -- I'm here! I'm not too sure why -- but we'll see :)
