Yes, it is obvious the choir is composed of mildly skilled amateurs, but I like this song very much.

Some experimentation that started with sandbags saying that he was looking for a wood sound. I responded with marimba plus monster reverb... and I quickly noodled together an ambient thing.

'Hond' is Dutch for 'Dog'. the song was inspired by my dog, which explains the title. it contains a vocal piece of proze (in Dutch) which i wrote about my dog (in the context of a larger story).

'oprotmuziek' in Dutch, would probably translate as 'fuck-off music' in English. in other words, the kind of music you play when you'd like for people to go home, hence the title (and the music).

English title would be 'today it's a bit cold', literally. it's a story by a Dutch kid about what he did that day and related stuff.
