About Abstinent Dazzle Music Productions

* My name is Johan F. Langhendries and at the age of two I became interested in music. Believe it or not, I was a very quiet child and I often listened to music on my father's radio. Jazz, Rock, Classic, just everything! A little later, age 4 and 5, my grandmother learned me what a C-chord was on her piano, in the different octaves. Later on, she learned me also the other chord. At the age of six, I started making my own drums with wash-powder boxes and I used wooden kitchen spoons to make the sound of a “drum”. When i was 8, several albums like for example ; “Let it be” by The Beatles, Block Buster by The Sweet, Black & Blue by The Rolling Stones etc... were a part of my drum exercise experiences as a young kid.

° At the age 10 i learned to play on a real drum-kit and trumpet and was also following music theory in two different music schools, for six years, to fill up my evenings on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s. On Saturday morning and Wednesday afternoon i had to go to our music theory class and we learned how to write music etc… At the age of 12 i had my first second-hand drum-kit and at sixteen i started playing in a Punk-Rock-band. Lot’s of fun indeed! Age 18 I went to study at private school ‘Haleweyn ‘Jazz-Studio’ in Antwerp, and learned a lot more about Jazz music and how to play it... I Love to play Jazz, but Funk and Rock became the biggest part of my drumming experience.

– EXPERIENCE; I’ve played as a professional drummer in many bands (Belgium) like ‘Citizen Jane’ (Jazz/Pop) for 5 years with one CD recording and many concerts. I’ve been studio recording drummer and have worked 40 years as a drummer; Live concerts, Recording drummer and albums with different rock-bands etc. I still do and learn of course!

– MY PROJECTS SINCE 2004 are; Wannislas(aka) and Abstinent Dazzle (Band). With these two projects, I make some Funky, Dance, Reggae, Rock & Jazz (Fusion) music. In my third project; Johan Franz Lang (feat. Space Orchestra) I make a kind of contemporary chill-out, easy listening music.

- I followed a sound engineering class for 2 years (age 29) and do the mastering for my albums and sometimes for other artists -

° Now, I hope you will enjoy my music and I like to get comments and positive critics, if there are some, and of course I appreciate too see some sharing of my music on social media !
