Actually, I’m a graphic designer. I’ve been drawing from childhood, and never stopped.
But then music came along …Since music has much more impact, i knew this was the vehicle to express myself. So I listened very carefully, not in a technical way, but emotionally. I found out about British progressive music and Frank Zappa, which broadened my perception and made me look beyond the mainstream pop.
I play all instruments myself, except drums for which I use drumloops in order to arrange them to my taste.
For guitars, I use an Epiphone Les Paul Standard, an Ibanez Blazer bass, and for all other instruments, a midi keyboard. Arranging and producing, I do on an Apple iMac G5 with Garageband and Logic Studio. All songs are my own compositions. - Stip Vanstiphout

Dynamic, Passionate, Emotive, yet understated and unassuming. A few words to describe the man who is now known as Mute Albino.
ReplyDeleteStip Vanstiphout began drawing at an early age and developed a unique style of his own that is reflected in his cartoons, graphic illustrations, designs, sculptures, and… just name it. If it’s creative, he has done, does, or will do, and does it exceptionally well!
Being an artist in other media, he seems to add a certain visual magic to his compositions, he began expressing himself years ago when he set his pencil aside for a while and picked up the guitar.
He named his musical alter-ego “Mute Albino”, an irreverent self remark to losing his hair due to Alopecia has evolved into a defining embodiment of what this instrumental genius is about.
