Who?

Hans Soeteman - guitar, bass, keyboards and everything else that is needed to record music.
Dasinu is a one-man-band. Starting at the age of 16 I played in a fast number of bands that played all kinds of music: from hard-rock to cajun music, from jazz to music for weddings and parties. If you are interested in this I suggest you read my biography. After a period without music I got the urge 'to do it again'. But this time exclusively with my own music. That's why there is DASINU!

Open project?

I consider DASINU as more then a band. It would be great if this could be an open musical project, where other musicians with the same interests could participate in. After all in this digital era it is possible to overcome fysical boundaries. Consider this as an invitation: Mail me here!
In this way a collaboration has been set up with people like bass-virtuoso Jim Casey (see his bio summery on the right, also see his. MySpace), my good old friend Rob Lokhorst on saxofoon, and bass player Philip Platt (Edge of Sanity). Philip's MySpace is here.

How?

Dasinu doesn't rehearse in small ill-smelling rehearsal rooms. Well, to be exact: Dasinu doesn't rehearse at all. All music starts with a rough idea, is recorded in a homestudio of one of the collaborators, using software like Cubase, Reason, Pro-Tools or Cooledit and is edited, exchanged and fine-tuned until the desired end result is there. The guitars, and some of the basses and saxes you hear are real instruments. All the others are samples, "soft synths" and drum machines. More about this here.

What?

The musical style is very difficult to describe. The best description I think is "progressive" instrumental Rock. In my music you can hear a lot of types of music: symphonic, fusion, world, metal, hard-rock..... blended together in Dasinu Music. Just listen to a couple of songs overhere and you will know what I mean. On this page or on the homepage you can also read what other people think about my music.

Dasinu means "yes and no", and more symbolical "complex and simple"," loud and soft", "harmonic and atonal", "relaxed and heavy"... just like my music.
