Earlier, I interviewed the sound designer of the film ‘The Corporation’
Velcrow Ripper
for the 5Q-interview series. This film being an important source of inspiration for the song
No More,
I am very happy to now present the 5Q-interview with Joel Bakan.
He is the writer and filmmaker
of the book and film ‘The Corporation’. Joel also happens to be a musician; co-producing
and playing in the band of his actress/singer wife Rebecca Jenkins.

A new episode of Time For A Break is on the way. This time it will be about the solar studio in which
recorded the songs that you can hear on my website.
Friends! Old chums.. members of my extended (borgata) famia.. friends of friends.. vague acquaintances.. business partners..
You'd better check out my brand new official music video of Señorita Bunita.
(No pressure.. just want you to know that I have a tommygun, as you can see in the music video...).
My song is now also on the playlist of Vibe Radio MW, an online radio station from Malawi, Africa. Not only that,
Señorita Bunita is selected to be 'Song of the Week' as well.
Señorita Bunita was played on 'The Independent Share Radio'. It is broadcast through a completely off the grid
and all solar and wind powered web host.
I wanted to let you know that I'm a gangsta now. As you can see, I am armed and considered dangerously smooth.
I expect to be spending a lot more time with teh señoritas, so I might not be able to make it to our bowling-evening next week.

Episode 2 of my new series Time For A Break will be out soon. I'm just working on some finishing touches.
And then you will be able to watch yet another Caribbean adventure taking place in and around my
solar studio.
Life of a musician in the studio is a lot of blood, sweat and tears...well..mostly sweat, actually.
Anyway, every now and then, I need a break. And you, sitting behind your desk, are entitled to one, too.
(Look it up, it's in your Collective Labour Agreement).
I only have to get up and take a look out of the windows of
my tropical recording studio to get some relaxation. In Time For A Break you -too- can see
what's going on in and outside my solar studio in the Caribbean. Check out the very first episode called Iguana.
I am working on a new youtube series called Time For A Break. When I am busy in my
solar studio
and in need of a break, I only have to look outside the windows of the Green Machine to find some entertainment.
The first episode 'Iguana' will soon officially be released, so that you can check out the things that happen
in and around a solar studio in the Caribbean as well!
This lyric video was produced in the
Green Machine, using only Caribbean solar power.

When visiting New York City the music video of Turtuga Blanku's I See Stars was shot.
It was pretty cold, but Times Square is a well suited location to go with the
lyrics of I See Stars. All editting and post-production took place in the warm, sunny Caribbean, using
only solar power.

I was invited by Sean Paton to step by the radio station ´MegaHitFM´ to promote a couple of my songs during his radio show.
The Turtuga Blanku songs I See Stars, Golden Bubble and No More were played and we had a nice
conversation about my solar-music,
solar-studio
and sustainability.

you can buy this tune (and others) through the
shop-page or at

A music video of I see Stars will soon be released on youtube as well.
I was contacted by a Japanese blog-writer who had written a blog entry about my music:
Ecological Music searched by Japanese Cat. She also directed me to an article
on a Japanese eco-website.
I did two radio interviews on Radio Limpi, which is a live radio program that is put together in parallel
-and broadcasted simultaneously- by two radio stations. You can find one of the interviews here

Additionally, the song
Golden Bubble got some nice airplay on both BonFM and MegaFM.
