my biography
Projekt67
Simon van Weelden and Erna Berendsen are the core-members of this group. On stage Projekt67 works together with other musicians. The music of Projekt67 is often described as cinematic. Many of the songs have emerged from improvisations. Because of the many layers and the way the music stretches out over time, the listener is taken on a musical trip. The sound has been compared with the music of
musicians like David Sylvian, Daniël Lanois, Brian Eno and Robert Fripp. Pink Floyd has also been mentioned by listeners.
Why the name?
Simon: “The word 'Projekt' in our name refers to the fact that we approach everything we do as a project. With every song, every concert, we work towards a product. And with every following project we are completely free to choose any approach we like. Secondly, we invented an empty name,
hoping that the people who will get to know our music, will fill it up with whatever the music means to them. 67 refers to Simon's year of birth.
Projekt67's history
Simon and Erna have played together ever since 1999, since 2003 as Projekt67. November 2004, they released their first album, which still can be listened to at www.projekt67.com. For years now, Projekt67 has been contributing to the Hammock-concerts “Stiltetuin de Stroetenhof” in Emmen.
March 2007, Simon and Erna, together with the dancers of dance-theatre “Marae” arranged a wellreceived show about ERD (emotion regulation disorder) for the Kwartiermakersfestival” in Groningen.
Simon ('67) was born in Zaltbommel (The Netherlands). He got his first real guitar when he was twelve, taught himself how to play, and round about that time he started buying a new musical toy every month. He successively finished an education for electrician, the advertising-school and finally the academy of arts "Minerva" in Groningen, The Netherlands, in 1995. Simon works as a graphic designer and webdesigner. Among other things, www.projekt67.com is of his making.
Erna ('75) was born in Wilhelminaoord (The Netherlands). She grew up with music. She was a choral singer for some time, she particularly enjoyes singing modern music. In the multi-vocal parts that she writes for the music of Projekt 67 you can find the influence of this music. She studied psychology in Groningen, and gratuated in 1999. She works at an institution for mental health care.

- Bedankt voor je berichtje. En meteen de gelegenheid om nog meer moois te beluisteren (What We Really Like). Het doet me een beetje denken aan de cd Victorialand van Cocteau Twins.

- Inderdaad, prachtig. Met invloeden die in ieder geval mijn aandacht trekken, is het natuurlijk altijd de vraag of die invloeden ook worden waargemaakt. Maar dit is echt heel erg goed met 'Zon Op Je Gezicht' zelfs meer dan heel erg goed.
