Hi. Thanx for subscribing. I'm a bit down on futural aspirations right now. Though I still have lots of recordings to make... Maybe we can help eachother with advice ? The music business is like a jungle to me... Cheers. Pieter B. alias spiceypete

Hi there. This is a new song of mine, recorded again at Elephant Productions ( With Johan De Baets). The idea goes way back thirty years, when I did a trip to the south of France in February ( " where the cold could never stay") with a kinda " rough" Irish folk- accordeon player from Poperinge ( The West of Flanders). I had an affair with a girl, called Isabelle, from Lotenhulle... whom I never have forgotten since then... during those " whirly" times ( " wintertimes had let me down in, oh, so many ways...). But... ( " clouds had filled the sky") ... and in March... the early spring vibes are usually over, over here and we get a lot of rain: I had to be admitted to psychiatry, diagnosis: severe... psychosis. I dedicate this song to Isabelle. Enjoy xxxxxxx

Dear fans, I've put two pictures on my site of the houses where I used to live and where I got inspired. In Ghent, my hometown. In the white bungalow I wrote a lot of songs, like link. The Ballad of The Mentally Ill and Ode To George Harrison. It looks a little like the house of mr John Lennons' aunt, doesn't it ? Stay tuned for more recordings. We've got a record to make. Cheers X spiceypete

Read moreHi. The scan I send to you all is a list of possible song structures. Two of my songs are marked with a small dot at the beginning. The page derives from a book I've once lent in the local public library of my town, while I was studying songwriting. It's called " The songwriter sourcebook" by Rikky Rooksby, a book that really taught me a lot and really is a must-have for people who want to try to write songs. Can you guys point out which song structure that is marked is the song structure of The Road to Freedom ? Please react ;-) Pieter B. from Belgium alias spiceypete

Hi people. Although my music is to be interpreted as a bit critical on society ( I promote improvement of classical psychiatric ways of thinking...), the message I want to proclaim is love and that we all may " keep on walking" ! I hope y'all love my music... but you can love it... or leave it. New psychiatric. Pieter Bouckaert alias spiceypete love X

Hidehi. Hodeho. Heedehee. Haadehaa. Yes, beloved listeners. They're on. Three new tunes. Spiceypete proudly presents. It was a lot of work, mixing & mastering with Johan de Baets from Elephant Productions, but we done it.
All instruments played by myself, except the drums: Johan de Baets, the backing-vocals on LKOW: Christelle Kinds - thanks to her, and the accordeon on FITTSOF: Jona Cappelle - thanks to Jona. I hope you'll like it. Keep on rocking !
Hello. I'm recording at the studio right now. There will be three new songs uploaded near the end of May. So. Keep tuned in !

I've written a scientific progressive study on this subject. The project ( biological farm) where I work is a progressive alternative for the mental institution ( and it provides labour care). I got cured there and I would like to promote the erection of similar centers in every town as big as my town in the whole wide world. And this could be considered as " The new-psychiatric emancipation struggle". All shout it out aloud: " New psychiatric" ! spiceypete

Read moreDear,
The new tune I put on is just preliminary. I did so to look for other musicians to record a definite take; you see. The bass-line should be better, + piano and Ludwig drums. I really believe we could add up to Beatles-quality. I had the idea while I was living in a small room near the station of my town, quit medication, had no job at all and was feeling pretty down-hearted at that time. But ,as it always goes seemingly, as I was playing my Fender strat Japan, the idea suddenly kind of "fell into me"... Enjoy listening and stay tuned in for more. Love.

My artist bio.
I was born in 1974, as the son of teachers. My father was a professor in law at the Ghent University and my mother was a teacher in history of art. Before I got to be 10 I was an only child and I traveled a lot with my parents. When I was 10 years old my parents adopted a foreign boy because they always wanted 2 kids and because my mum had had uterus cancer. It was about then that I studied a year of solfège, though I flushed. I also had some experience acting thanks to the fact that my aunt was a famous actress in Belgium. When I was 15 I started to play the folk guitar. It was my father, who had a guitar, who taught me my first chords. At that time I often lent my parents' records and listened to those a huge lot. I was mainly struck by Woodstock-artists, the blues, and became a gigantic Hendrix fan... At the age of 16 my father bought me my first electric guitar, which is still in my possession right now: A Fender Strat Japan. When I was 18 my parents divorced due to problems in the family, like managing my adoptive brother who quite recently died: He had spent most of his short adult life dealing drugs... After having learnt the blues basics on guitar, I started playing in a band with a Dutch name called " Wablief". We only did one gig. At the meantime I was a student on Germanic languages at the Ghent University. But I quit because I wanted to do something with music. Unfortunately I experimented with some drugs at that time, I had great musical ideas but, as it often goes, eventually had to be admitted to psychiatry. Though it was at the social-cultural center of the mental hospital I started playing in a coverband called " De Meanderthalers" ( The Meanderthals) which created new perspectives on my career as a musician. We did about 6 or 7 gigs. After being collocated for four months, due to the fact that I had quit my medication, I had swore not to be admitted ever again. So, from then on I took a tiny bit of medication which I do still, but lead a quite normal life as a law-abyding citizen. The third band, called " Spicey Pete & The Tomatoes", which I started at the age of 27 was my most succesful band so far. We did 5 gigs and created some sort of single called " Psychoman". I'm 46 now, but after all this time I keep performing, 'cause I believe my songs are well-found and I just KNOW I'm able to create a magnificent record... XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
