You're listening to Student Radio Maastricht, on RTV Maastricht 107.5 FM. And we just listened to some of the notes, some tunes and tracks emerging from the deep depths of Maastricht, emerging from the histories of Maastricht, emerging from the deep underground of Maastricht in history. This was the track emerging from the Oceans, from the album Omnipresent Transcendence by the artist, John J. S. W. Weilaker, who is joining us in the studio today. Thank you so much, John. How are you? Thank you. I'm doing fine. Thank you for inviting me into the studio, listening to my songs. Awesome. Thank you so much, John, for coming by and sharing this album with us. This one is called Omnipresent Transcendence. Do you want to say a little bit of an intro to the album, to the track that we just heard? So I was inspired for the name of the album, Omnipresent Transcendence. I was inspired by Roy Ayers, a jazz musician on New Soul, and I was listening to a lot to him. And I think on one of his alps, it says Ubiquiti. Uh-huh. Ubiquiti. And Ubiquiti is a synonym for Omnipresent. Right. Right. And then I added the transcendence. So it's an omnipresent transcendence. Wow. It's a transcendence that's happening everywhere. Everywhere. Yeah. Yeah. Beautiful. Like an omnipresent transcendence. Quite a departure from the previous show that we aired on the 18th of September. Do check it out to albums back to back. And today is the 19th of September when we are recording this episode called the Omnipresent Transcendence. Yeah. The first track is called Emerging from the Ocean. So it's like the album, the music, it's like emerging from the oceans, like a giant mutated lizard, like Godzilla emerging from the oceans, like a being, the music is a being emerging from the oceans. Wow. I think that is a very, very fitting start, a very fitting title as well, emerging from the oceans. And a bit like Maastricht a couple of million years ago, a bit like the giants that were swimming in the seas of Maastricht. Yeah, they said Limber was below the ocean. And they below the ocean millions of years ago when the luss, and luss is like a kind of chalk. Uh-huh. And you can also see that you have Merhil. Yeah. You know, Merhil. I don't know what you call it. And sandstone, sandstone. And that's also proved that we have been emerging from the oceans. Absolutely. Yes. We have also found fossils in these stones. Plenty of evidence to suggest that Maastricht was definitely under water millions of years ago. And also the Mosasaurus. The Mosasaurus? Yeah. The Mosasaurus. Emerging from the oceans. In Maastricht, I think that is a really, really nice start to this episode. I think we have a fantastic show coming up. But before we go any further, do you want to introduce the next track? We are playing these tracks in album sequence. Yes. The next one is called "By the Power Most High". Yes. That's like an instrumental. And there's also one version of this song with lyrics, but on this album it's the version without lyrics. Alright, let's check it out. [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] Thank you for staying tuned in. This is student radio master. An RTV master at 107.5 FM and tonight we are digging deep into the history of Maastricht and into the history of the music in Maastricht. So joining us tonight is very kindly John J. J. J. J. J. J. J. J. J. How are you, John? I'm doing fine. Thank you for inviting me to the studio once more to talk about the music. That is quite the laid back jazzy notes. I was curious about two things. When did you make this album? When was this album made you remember? I think it's more than 10 years ago. Maybe even 15. I don't remember any more. 2012 or so 10 years. No, yeah, something like that. 2011/12. Wow. There are some lyrics to it, but that's on another album where there are lyrics. Did you then add the lyrics later on? No, no. Actually, I made the song with the lyrics and for this album I released instrumental. Because I like the instrumental. But yeah, the song was called "By the Power of Maastai". Yeah. To be thankful to the Lord Maastai in the classic religion is always like you start writing by saying in the name of the Lord Maastai. To have a blessing is over and that I wanted to do with this album as well. Alright. Thank you so much for sharing that and sharing these wonderful moments from back in time. And like I said, I have one more question before we go any further. What kind of genre do you say this is? Because last time we played some the emo gothic tunes. Yes, at one point I thought everything is hip-hop at album B. Wow, okay. I thought everything is album B because they are soul in it. Yeah. So, but then again if you listen to the last episode with the emo kind of wave music. That of course is not album B but I still would like to classify this as R&B or neo soul. I was very inspired by neo soul and R&B always. But also by rock music and all the music. But I feel like there is a common origins of music. And the origins lies in the ancient ancient times and there I thought of the retro man blues. Wow. In the ancient times when Maastai was still under water from millions of years ago. Who knows? Who knows? Who knows what the sounds were under those waters in those oceans. And you know, typically we venture off into outer space into different dimensions. But in tonight's episode it looks like we are exploring the deep seas and wide oceans. Yeah, one can't think of Atlantis. Atlantis. The the medical land of Atlantis which was which went into the sea. Yeah. Maybe there are still people living there like a highly civilized, like a high civilization under the ocean. They are like these domes. Right. Like domes on the ocean floor and there are cities underneath those domes and there are the people left the Atlanteans. I'm sure if there are people living there they are obviously smart enough and they are also smart enough to not let anyone else know about these shining cities under water making absolutely mind blowing music. Thank you so much for sharing once again. Thank you. And like I said we are playing this album in album sequence and most of it is instrumental. Most of it is instrumental but the next one is actually with some lyrics to it. Alright, and this one is called the one coming up. It's called Laat in the North. Laat in the North. Late at night. It's a Dutch song with Dutch language. Yeah. Alright. Cool. Let's check it out. Maybe we can learn some Dutch tonight. [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] Head is a lot in the North. It is late at night when you're listening to this track. Hopefully this is student radio, March 31, 7.5 FM, RTV, March 31. We have been digging deep tonight, deep into the oceans of planet March 31 to unearth these tracks that was made by John J H. Wylaker and who is joining us in the studio tonight. Thank you so much John. This was quite the track. Hello, Sharon. Yes, it's called late at night. So a night is like an ocean as well, right? True. So you can go deep into the ocean or late into the night. It's like the night is deep as well. We dive into the night and then in the morning we dive back up. The shining town of March checked from deep underwater late at night. It's dark, but yeah, I mean it's kind of night. Yeah, just the sun went just on. We just had a sunset. As we are recording this episode. As we are recording this episode, it's getting darker outside. A very, very fitting track. And did you write these lyrics specifically for this track? Well, at one point, I met someone and then I was a little bit in love and then I made this song. Like sitting late at night and waiting and thinking of that person. This whole album was kind of inspired by someone like that I met and often albums are inspired by someone you meet and you fall in love and then you get all this energy. And then you start making music. So that was with this album as well. It's very, very inspiring. And this was one of the two tracks that have lyrics in this album, like you said. At some point we will come to the album with lyrics. Yes. Yeah, there's one other song. The third song of the album has lyrics and the seventh song of the album has lyrics. And yeah, do you want to say something more about this track or the one that's coming up? The next one is called Steak in Boulanger Up, Light Up. Light Up one on Boulanger. And Boulanger is normally, it's like a bakery as a French for bakery. But I used it in the context of Light Up a joint. Like a joint. A joint can also be a place, right? Like you go to a joint, enjoy yourself or to have some drinks, we go to this joint. A bakery can be a joint. So we light up a joint. Light up a bakery. We light up a Boulanger. A Boulanger? Yeah, it's time to get baked. Yes, it's time to get baked. Alright, let's get baked and check it out. [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] Thank you so much for staying tuned in. The Boulanger is on fire with pain. Getting baked with the track Steak in Boulanger Up. Yes, Steak in Boulanger Up. Light up on Boulanger and Boulanger being a joint, getting baked bakery. So that's kind of the joke. Yeah, I love the track. Really chill track. Very, very spicy. I use the smoke a lot. And then I smoked, for instance, I made the song. And every time when I made the song, I just got hired and listened to it. To get more resolution of the audio. And yeah, there's a lot of psychedelic in my songs as well. A lot of psychedelic influence there. This is really from another dimension. But I'm really excited because the track that's coming up is, I sang one of my favorite from this album. It's called Jellyfish in Space, Robots on the Surface. What a title. Yeah, that's a classic. It's about, you have to imagine, what if the stars in the sky are not suns, but they are shimmering jellyfish that are stationary? Yeah, or a pure stationary. I saw one time this on the internet, like a guy he zoomed in on stars with a telescope. And he got really strange weird visuals out of that. It kind of looked like jellyfish. Then I thought, "Wow, what if the stars are not stars, but they are jellyfish?" And we have been lied to all the time that we are living in an ocean and it's all jellyfish. Wow. That was the thought behind that song. And as well, in that time, I was working to, when I made the song "Journeyfish in Space Robots on the Surface," I was working together with Rul Ponsos. Okay, shout out. Shout out to Rul Ponsos, because this is one of the songs which I made with him, which was really nice. He's on there as well. I think, if I'm not mistaken. All right, all right. I think he does some guitar and bass. Yeah, I was going to ask about about your instrumentation in this album. Guitar and bass guitar. I always use bass guitar, some synthesizer songs, some computer stuff, some Rhodes piano. Rhodes piano. All right. I had one in my apartment. A friend of mine left Rhodes piano in my apartment for me to play on. And like by the power of my side, there's some Rhodes in it. And Rhodes piano. That's one of my favorite instruments. Yeah, I think your tracks really somehow fire up my imaginations. It lets me transcend. Oh, it is. It lets me transcend. Transcendence. There's some transcendence in here. Yes, in here, in there. Every one, this is omnipresent. It's only present, right? All right, so I think without further ado, do you want to check out Jellyfish in space, robots on the surface? All right, let's go. [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] Anyway, this track had no, no, no percussion. It was, it was a very, very fluid. Yes, yes. It doesn't have percussion, just instruments. It's one smooth flow. Yeah, yeah. It's a, there's a vision to it. There's also, I also made a video to it, but I don't know if it's online where you can see space and jellyfish and robots and these kind of things. Wow, I think, I think we have, we have some more digging to do then. Yeah, if you look back into your, into your repository artwork. Yeah, a lot of songs, I made videos to, but I don't know which ones exactly, but there's like maybe 200 videos online. Wow, definitely check it out. We will give out the links to John's YouTube channel in our post and we are slowly coming towards the, towards the end of this episode, but we have still some time to play maybe one, maybe two tracks. Do you want to quickly introduce the one coming up? This one's called evading speeder. Well, evading speeder is a speeder that's evading. It's a speeder, it's like, it's like one of the racing cars in Star Wars. So, but then evading, evading. Evading speeder, I think this one's, this one's one for a long, fast drive underwater.

You're listening to student video master trick from RTV master 107.5 FM. And what we heard there was an absolute timeless classic track there evading speeder, very, very contemporary, very classic from the album omnipresent transcendence. Thank you so much, John. That was quite the track for a long, smooth, fast ride. >> Yeah, when I made it, I was thinking of these part racing in Star Wars. >> Uh-huh, yeah, yeah, yeah. >> Yeah, one of the few places where you can go really fast and smooth and still evade obstacles is probably space or deep underwater. >> Or deep underwater. >> I think that the track captures, captures the speed and the slips. >> Yes. >> Very, very smoothly. But we've been listening to the, we've been checking out tracks from your album omnipresent transcendence. This was track number six evading speeder. We don't have that much time left. We are coming slowly towards the end of our episode. But we can, I think we will have time to squeeze in one last track. Do you wanna, do you wanna quickly introduce the one that's coming up? This one is number seven, and you said this one's got lyrics. >> It's got lyrics. It's a, it's a love song. It's a love song. And there's three versions of it, of four, all spread over all my different albums. I made a few versions of this, but this one is more, this is a nice one. It's one of the first. >> All right. >> I used to play it with guitar as well. But then I forgot the chords to it. So I don't know how to do it. >> You don't write it down. You don't. >> I wrote it down somewhere, but I don't know if I have the notebooks still. >> All right. All right. So this is, this is one of the, one of the versions of the track. What docked it down? How do you feel? >> Yes. >> How do you feel? I think that is a, that is a nice track to leave our audience. But before we go, massive thanks once again, John, for coming by and sharing this album from, from deep underground, from, from back in time. >> From the deep page of the JHW.bandcamp.com. >> Yes. JHHW.bandcamp.com. >> Yeah. Yeah. I've put bandcamp, to it. >> Yes. >> Zaker. And also thanks, massive thanks to RTV for letting us record this show and broadcasting our, our episodes.
