Soanish accordionist Joxan Goikoetxea (www.myspace.com/jgoikoetxea) has just released a new CD. ’Innervisions’ is Joxan Goikoetxea´s 13th album and his first solo work. Recorded in Spring 2007 and running to 75 minutes, it contains 18 tracks, some of which have been culled from live performances and collaborations with other musicians.
Xabier Lete, the well-known Spanish Basque poet, in reviewing the CD, commented: "I believe ‘Innervisions’ to be a very personal outpouring of compositional and formal elements which have left their mark on Joxan Goikoetxea’s soul – moments of music, which as they came into being, clave to his sensibility and taste as well as being movitating influences in the career of this musician who is plural, varied and interdisciplinary like few others".
Dirk Wolters is a software developer from Sneek, a little town in the north of the Netherlands. He has developed a unique software application that can speed up the process of tuning accordions. Dirk’s Accordion Tuner, as the software is called, simplifies the complex tuning process and makes it easier to understand.
The Accordion Tuner is extremely accurate. The measuring error is less than 0.05 Hz (sound waves longer than 20 seconds). This accuracy makes it possible not only to measure single reeds, but also to measure multiple reeds at the same time and the beating frequencies between them. A special algorithm eliminates the need for calibration; the tuner is always accurate!
