Melle Weijters is a guitarist of a different stripe … or maybe we should say different color? Namely, yellow! As you may already know, he has been very busy now for some years now in the field of alternative tunings. Recently, he was appointed duties at the Fokker Foundation concerning the famous 31-tone pipe organ. He also has commissioned a special 41-tone guitar of his own design, which is yet unfinished. A year or so year ago, Melle ordered a special 3-octave yellow U-Plex keyboard, to which I gave the project title 'The School Bus'.
And, just a few days ago at the EuroMicrofest, on February 3 2013, Melle delivered a presentation to an audience of enthusiasts in Köln, Germany which included various aspects of H-System music theory:
Melle is known already for playing an unusual (yellow) fretless guitar, which you can see and hear him play in some videos on YouTube like this one:
You can also listen to some of Melle's tracks on SoundCloud.
So keep an eye out for this guy, folks! Thanks for all your great work, Melle!
