“Paint The Sky” Musician Spotlight: Joop Wolte

“Paint The Sky” Musician Spotlight: Joop Wolters

Since my first album “Oniric Metal”, Joop Wolters has been my brother in arms. He was a crucial component in making this record a success back then. He was preoccupied with his own career at the time I made “Atomic Ark”, but he graciously provided gorgeous guitar solos.

Mr. Wolters is back, not just as a guitarist, but also as a bass player. I hope the audience will be able to appreciate his exceptional musicality, his flexibility (the progressive material of "Paint The Sky" is very distant from the heaviness of "Oniric Metal"), and his sense of feel and harmony.

He was the one who recorded the most for this project. On all of the songs, he had to play guitars and bass for both demos and full production. He attended more than 40 recording sessions, including adlibs and extras. He also performed an original acoustical interlude.

As a result of his hard work and commitment to the LALU project, fans will undoubtedly be grateful. Joop Wolters is a real music warrior, and his latest solo effort, "Snapshot" (available everywhere), is proof of it (if one was ever needed).

Love you brother!
