Transfolmeris me, Tjeerd Folmer, from Groningen, Holland. I combine electronic music with guitar and voice on solo-productions and collaborations. People use words like ‘spacious’, ‘ambient’, ‘moody’ and ‘whatever’ to describe my music. It started for me in Friesland, Holland in the eighties. I was part of ‘De Friese Bries’ (‘The Frysian Breeze’), with postpunkbands like The Toylets, Weekend At Waikiki and Kobus Gaat Naar Appelscha making a wave in Holland. I played bass and made 3 records with a band called The Visitor. Being in a band is great, but it can be stressfull as well. I sorta ‘bummed out’ after some years because of too many gigs and too little room for creativity. After quite a long breakaway from being an active musician I found new excitement and opportunities with the coming of the web and computers. Musiclife started again in 2004 with a selftitled CDR-release. Four more releases followed, either self-released or put out by the ESC.REC. label from Deventer in Holland. I don’t spend a lot of time (or money...) careerwize, so I was pleased to see Transfolmer popping up on two sample-cd’s of the great Belgian/Dutch magazine Gonzo Circus. Others like 3voor12, VPRO radio6, Whereverradio, Machtdose and Concertzender have been supportive too, and I’m thankful for that. I’m open to working with likeminded spirits, so feel free to contact me. Enjoy my music, feel free to download and share..
