If there's one music genre that stands for artistic freedom, it has to be jazz. (For any metal heads reading this - don't worry boys, you'll get your chance. Oh, boy, will you get your chance...)
Here at FreePlayer, we like freedom too (the name isn't a coincidence), so it was a big thrill to meet that stalwart of the Amsterdam Jazz scene, Folker Tettero, last week.
Folker is the guitar sound behind Carmen Gomez Inc., and is also to be heard powering The Amsterdam Headliners alongside Dave Breidenbach, who gets an honourable mention as the first person to try out the FreePlayer Bass prototype.
(A bass version? Now that set you thinking, didn't it?! There's going to be more on this subject, have no fear.)
It didn't take us long to realize that Folker's experimental-but-practical approach meshed wonderfully with ours.
We talked, Folker played, and we heard a lot of new sounds in a short space of time. The outcome? A Beta version FreePlayer is in the post (as they say), so look out for a small earthquake in the Amsterdam area...
