Dear Dots friends,

Last December, after 21 years, I made the decision to leave the Legendary Pink Dots.  It was not an easy decision.  The band became a big part of my life and we made a lot of good music together.  I especially liked the first years – but in the last couple of years, I was less and less connected to the albums and to the music. On tour with the Dots, I met a lot of people and made good friends; I will always be grateful for all the support, friendships, and great times.

I’m now involved with a number of new and exciting projects: Strange Attractor, Voltage, Szense, and my newest project, The National Grid (a live drum & bass soundsystem /electronic dance act).   I’m also putting together a new album featuring a collection of my favorite works recorded with bands I’ve been involved with over the last 40 years.  I will be doing a lot of touring with my new projects, and I really hope to see all of you.

You can find me on my website, NielsVanHoorn.com, where you can also buy my recordings, subscribe to my newsletter, and invite me to participate in your projects.  If you email and we’ve met, it’s helpful if you send a photo (I’m very visual and not so good with names).

Let’s stay in touch!

Niels
