FRIDAY AUGUST 25, 2023
I have released new music today.
In Atmospheres II EP is out now everywhere.
EP #6 is the follow- up to my In Atmospheres album from 2010.
This is my take on alternative experimental dance music;
combining electronics with analogue instruments, such as the electric guitar, and real drums and percussion.
While my In Atmospheres album was recorded with a full live band, in just one take,
this new EP is created in a studio setting, recorded over multiple sessions.
I have worked together with my compadre Tim Egmond for the composition, production, recording and mixing,
while Klaas de Jong and Tijmen Ruizendaal completed my sound with their analogue drums and percussion.
This new release features almost 30 minutes of experimental alternative guitar dance music,
or as my cousin AdW calls it; #organicguitartechno.
Listen to In Atmospheres II EP in the player here below, or find my new release in all the usual places online.
Enjoy!

REVIEW BY WHITE ROOM REVIEWS/ RALF WEDAGE/ 2023
Maybe the name Jorge Natalin doesn’t mean anything to you, and maybe Arno Tijnagel doesn’t either.
Yet not so long ago his tenth album was released, because Jorge Natalin is the artist that is hidden inside Arno Tijnagel.
This album by Jorge Natalin has been given the title ‘In wording’.
Jorge Natalin –
It is clear that Arno Tijnagel loves making music.
In addition to the ten full- length albums, his solo work now also consists of five extended plays and a huge dose of singles.
This is partly due to the fact that Jorge Natalin absorbs a broad range of influences.
As a result, you can either be drawn to the singer/ songwriter side with him or, for example, be immersed in post- rock.
In wording –
On this album, Jorge Natalin presents himself in fourteen tracks –
where the number 14 and Amsterdam have of course collaborated successfully in the past.
It starts with a rippling, introductory ‘Proloog’, before really going wild in ‘Als een diamantje’ and ‘Walk With Me’.
The latter even lets the lead parts of the guitar play against each other, as if we have here arrived in the instrumental part of Dire Straits,
somewhere in the 80s, with a touch of Pink Floyd and Santana.
The strength of ‘In wording’ is that Jorge Natalin doesn’t get stuck in one moment.
Atmospheres change, things get whipped up and in ‘Abdulkarim’ even Jimi Hendrix seems to have risen from the dead, in terms of sound,
only to conjure up the driving post- rock later in the song.
‘Zandkorreltje’, the title of which may lead to some underestimation,
turns out to be a hallucinatory trip in which Jorge Natalin completely captivates the listener.
‘In wording’ shows that Jorge Natalin’s creative brain never stops and is equally impossible to pigeonhole at all.
This is a record to surrender to, to enjoy, to dream away on, or to make love to intensely.
WHAT I WROTE ABOUT IN WORDING MYSELF
My tenth full- length album, In wording, is released on Tuesday February 28.
This is a conceptual experimental instrumental guitar rock/ post- rock album,
that features 14 original compositions, with a total running time of nearly 47 minutes.
The album tells the story of gratitude and wonder, of life and love.
You plant a seed in the soil, and in time, a majestic oak tree grows.
In wording begins with a prologue and ends with an epilogue.
The music in between can roughly be divided into 3 parts:
the beginning of the album is an easy going, introductory section,
followed by the part that tells the story;
this part builds gradually in concept and intensity;
after which the album continues with a seriously rocking conclusion,
only to end in contemplation again, with the soothing epilogue.
In wording explores my recognizable instrumental guitar realms even further.
You might even speak of the signature Jorge Natalin sound.
*** I have created 2 limited editions of 47 pieces each for this album.

“Jorge Natalin has a stoner sound with melodic deepness.
Zandkorreltje has a dense main riff and over it a guitar phrase dives on harmonic deepness.
The sound is like a dystopic future about to be born.
A chaotic sound going to new hopes and landscapes.”
a captivating acoustic/ singer- songwriter song, out now via AT Recordings.
I am really enjoying the intimate atmosphere of the song, it allows for the listeners to fully focus on his vocals and storytelling.
A beautiful love song, East To West showcases Jorge Natalin’s lush, expressive vocals that are seamlessly backed by a
memorable acoustic guitar- driven melody with touches of melancholia.
All together that creates an overall warm and intimate atmosphere, perfect for a laid- back, reflective day.”
IndieTapes wrote this about Only Here:
“Really like the vibe, honestly not 100% resonating with me, but it’s still a cool record.”
Empty Room Productions on The Sun In My Head:
“I gotta say the track here brings about quite the intense field.
The instrumentals are surreal yet feisty, it all feels so alluring.”
Project Dreams wrote this about East To West:
Nice instrumental pick you have there and nice development and layering of the open melodic statement.
I also liked the quality of the vocals, since it was crisp and clear.
And truly, I can believe that the lyrics sound like it truly comes from the writer’s experience.
Great job in this song and success in your music career.”
This song will totally take over your player, once you hit play.
I turned up the volume.”
Analog Experience wrote this about Awakening:
“That’s a pretty nice song idea, and the guitar is my favorite element on it.
The distortion pedal has quite a lot of noise,
but that’s what makes it more underground and crunchy.
I like the song, it has nice atmospheric elements.”
Taras Kopel on Zandkorreltje:
“Thank you for sharing your work, it sounds interesting and atmospheric.
The whole mix is well balanced, with high- level production.
There are many interesting guitar moves.
I like the way the track develops as the song goes on.
It’s like the composition is telling a story.”
This time, Jorge Natalin sings with a deeply emotional spirit between the strings of absolute balance.
The right music to express feelings of love and admiration too.”
