Released my first collaborative album today. It features my partners singing voice and the Rev2 primarily with occasionally the Korg Microstation for background choir effect. It is in a relaxing style, ambient electronic.
The collaboration is with my partner Evelien. So we released the album under the artist name "Flien&Gezz", it is called "Just Be". It features Evelien's singing voice, abstract, no words, with reverb provided by my Boss RV-500. I do like the sound of her voice combined with this particular patch of the Boss reverb.
Releasing it worldwide didn't quite go as I expected. The different platforms mangled the artist name. Sometimes (like with Amazon) it was taken as one word "Flien&Gezz" as we intended. Sometimes the software changed the name into two words "Flien & Gezz". Unfortunately the Spotify word mangler made a complete mess out of it and it created a new album under my artist name ("Gezz") and quoted "Flien" as the artist, weird. Unfortunately it makes it more difficult for our friends and acquaintances to find the music. I will check with our label to see if they can correct it.

All recordings are done live in the studio, in one take. Which is what we wanted, to generate the spontaneously evolving nature of the tracks. Including "mistakes" obviously ;-).
