STEF 'Stip' VANSTIPHOUT - ARTIST BIO
Mute Albino is a one man band; an
individual project in which Stef ‘Stip’ Vanstiphout writes, composes,
arranges original songs, and plays all instruments except drum and percussion
(loops). He strives to be as analog/human sounding as possible. His songs are
about life experiences… his philosophy on love, employers, nice people,
rebels, events from the past. Hence, the emotional (and sometimes sarcastic)
in and output.
All songs are purely Instrumental, progressive,
experimental, and alternative. It’s said of Mute Albino music, vocals are
unnecessary as the music lends the mind a view of its own.
Because instrumental progressive music is not as deliberate in its intention as
music with words, it’s more adventurous to comprehend. The suggestion to use
your imagination and let it flow, no matter what the intention or from where
the ideas began, is obligatory.
Early influences on Mute Albino’s style are Frank Zappa, 70’s British
Progressive Rock ( Jethro Tull, Yes, early Genesis… ), Steve Vai, Arabian
music, Irish Folk Music, Avant Garde, Jazz.
FLIES ON ORANGES CD REVIEW
Mute Albino
is as essential to my music collection as the great classic artists of Progressive
Rock.
When describing
the instrumental and compositional style to everyone that has musical taste similar
to my own, I recommend that you surrender your senses into this
music that I trust you’re going to crave!
Take a trip
inside an alternative self encompassed by spacey, hauntingly romantic,
imaginative soundscapes in a style similar to Pink Floyd. Brace yourself for
the pulsing adrenaline rush of sensual, dirty guitar solos intimately familiar
with Carlos Santana, Neil Young, and Steve Vai. Delight in the playful attitude
and experimental whimsy beaconing the spirit of Frank Zappa…
Yet make no
mistake that Mute Albino delivers a unique style. “Flies On Oranges” is dynamic
and keen, the songs seem to tell stories that provoke my mood, thoughts, make my
emotional flavors water. Absent of words to lead or influence, this musician is
a masterful navigator providing heights and depths which are limited only by
the listener.
This is
music to wake up to, drive to, live your life and end your hard day to. An
essential element.
Once you’ve listened you’ll want to have it

it, envision it, and get a taste of it that inspires a hunger for more… have your
