Tony Tersmette, originally from the Netherlands, who has adopted the pseudonym Rex Niemand, is a vocalist and guitarist of a jazz bent with many years of experience performing a wide range of popular music. He also has some thirty years experience as a cataloger of all manner of musical materials at Binghamton University Libraries in upstate New York. 'Rex' has taken the challenge of composing in earnest in recent years; a few of his latest creations are represented here. He hopes to add more in the near future. Correspondence is most welcome!

My instrumental Sticky Tape has been selected as a semi-finalist in the UK Songwriting Competition. Not sure how meaningful this is at this point, what weight to give it, but it can't be a bad thing.

"Tony Tersmette really hits it out of the park with his track Blue Chalk[in']. He builds on the synth pop of the past but definitely takes the song to a place in the future. A solid production and well thought out electric composition." -- Jason Miles, pro reviewer.

My composition "Chanson Sans Paroles" won First Place in the Instrumental category of the 22nd Annual Great American Song Contest. Thank you, GASC!

Rex,

Thanks for the 5's for "Getaway". Did you do a review? I've done a small re-write recently but haven't re-recorded it yet. Just a couple of tweaks...you know how that works. And, thanks for the facebook request. I just recently started back up after dumping it for a couple of years.

Mr. Bill

Maybe I am overlooking something, but I often do a listen without seeing a review option. Stars option yes.

Rex,

Yeah, Nigel needs to be expanded upon. Late '90's I think. I've got a ton of these that should be revisited...thanks for the review.

Mr. Bill

Rex,

Thanks for another fun to read review...this time for "I Really Love Your Mind". Old tune that my guy in Nashville wants me to re-record, make it a Jazz quartet, club sounding thing...workin' on it.

Did pretty well in the SongU contest I mentioned. Didn't win but finished in the top 4 out of 150+. I can live with that.

Ever and always a pleasure to review your stuff, Mr. Bill.

BTW, you're lookin' good under that hat!

An original "Tribble"...

My Father-in Law was a great hat wearer. We inherited a bunch of them and I occasionally will don one in his honor.

Ok, gotta ask. Original "Tribble" as in actually from the set of the Star Trek original series episode? I thought the Kingons were gifted all of them?
