bio:
Pasco
are: Scott Hill, Patric Bakkenist and Khalid Ramzi.
I reviewed an amazing track by Patric Bakkenist on GarageBand.com,
'Chants Resonique' & it blew my mind...At the same time, Patric
was reviewing one of my trax & his comments overwhelmed me...After
some chats we decided to unite our musical creativity to create
"PASCO"...A band bourne by the Winds of Garageband.com!
About four months later our debut album 'Guardian Angel' was finished
and we encountered the brilliant architect/graphic designer Khalid
who was very impressed by the music we made. He started to draw
pictures, inspired by our music and we where blown away. So now
we have three Pasco team members and a second album coming. This
album will be the sequel to Guardian Angel and comes in two versions.
One version will be mixed in 5.1 DVD Audio format to play on a home
cinema setup and the second version will be a mix of the 5.1 version
to play in any regular device.

Patric's
bio:
The
musical history of my life started in the reggae band So What!.
Many numbers we've played were covers of pop songs wich we transformed
into reggae style. The most succesfull songs were: Fire from the
Pointer Sisters and Losing my religion from R.E.M. (1986 - 1987)
I had the urgent need to create my own songs instead of endlessly
playing existing works and left the band before I had a nervous
breakdown. Then 'a friend for life' came along with the same need
and a bass guitar. Robin and I started to write songs and lyrics
and before we knew it we were performing them in the rock formation
The Unknown. After ten nervous breakdowns a week we decided to break
up after a few years. These were probably the best years of my live.
Another friend and excellent musician/songwriter is Jeroen. The
music and lyrics were so beautiful that you cannot listen to them
without getting emotional. We were real close and he was so natural
born for music that I wish that I could go back into time and never
come back no more.. After doing a couple of auditions in ex(orc)isting
bands I started to build my own studio, because a studio does not
argue about how, when or why I should or should'nt do this or that.
That is a great relief, I now have only 20 nervous breakdowns a
day!!! Then I ran into the producer/songwriter Lesly Laverman. This
man expanded my vision in songwriting, arranging and producing.
He is my best friend and I am his annoying questionmark!#@? During
this period I co-produced the boysband WHAT NEXT! The executive
was the highly talented and dedicated Milene. We realy came a long
way and never unrewarded. I'm sure we'll write together again someday
maybe soon. And of course, I love you too. Then Robin (The Unknown)
called to tell me about this rockband 'Never Again!'. I was soon
introduced to the Boyz and we recorded 7 songs in one weekend in
a studio in Kampen/the Netherlands. Unlimited breakdowns of course,
but heee, The results were great! Rear view mirror is the new electronic
album featuring music with diverse musicians and technicians i have
collaborated with recently. Award winning tracks Attitude X and
Chants Resonique are included. Somewhere in the creation process
i was very lucky to have crossed the tunes of keyboard wizard Scott
Hill from the UK. We started to compose together, using originality
& experimentation as our guidelines. The files swirled over
the internet as well as the styles in our music. We are very proud
of the results and decided to place them on this album. We are also
very happy to announce that we have recently RELEASED a new album
"Guardian Angel" which is available now! So here we are...
Updated and ready to go... 'Life is always changing, Be like water,
my friend...'
