More about 

Music

FRŒM Music Collective is a new, unique homemade music project that transcends borders, cities and styles. The three musicians met forty years ago (1986) in Utrecht, where they worked together for a number of years. In the meantime, a lot has happened and they have since moved to Berlin, Vienna and Gorinchem. In the autumn of 2024, they picked up where they left off. Times may have changed, but their personalities and experience have clearly matured. Expect a colourful mix of musical influences and sounds. 
Frans Schoffelen, guitarist, lyricist, singer and composer, has extensive experience in recording, mixing and production techniques. Robert de Booij writes lyrics, sings and plays bass. Marcel Bodaar is an intuitive keyboard player, he composes, writes lyrics and has extensive production experience. Welcome to FRŒM.

Latest News

AUTUMN 2024

FROEM is excited to announce that we are busy writing new music in a renewed line-up. The first quick demo of the track ‘Coming Home’ is now available and we are giving a taste of what is to come. Work on this track will continue in the coming weeks. Keep following us for the latest news and new releases from FROEM!

MORE is coming

WINTER 2024

We are busy making and producing new music. We have some demos ready for further development. It takes a bit more time because we don't physically create our music in a rehearsal room. It's more laborious than we thought. You can also call it long-distance music. We expect to drop more tracks in spring 2025.

Work in Progress

SPRING 2025

The holidays are over. We are eager to pick up the threads. We are full of new ideas. Just a little more patience. Keep an eye on us and we'll be in touch. Already a demo " When The Music Calls" of one of the music projects we are working on. Musical greetings from FRŒM.

KEEP in touch

SUMMER 2025

More demos mark the next step in our current phase and reflect the atmosphere and character we’re developing for upcoming releases. At the same time, we are refining our sound and sharpening the direction of the project. In June, we met each other in Gorinchem for a live music session. A valuable moment to reconnect, exchange ideas, and dive deeper into the music together.

STAY TUNED

WINTER 2025 | 2026

Across Berlin, Vienna and Gorinchem, we remain fully engaged in writing new material, exploring ideas, textures, and evolving arrangements. The collaboration stays intuitive and organic, despite the distance. Alongside composing new music, we are also investing time in gaining deeper insight into the DAWs we work with, refining our technical workflow to better support our creative process.

Updates will follow as things develop

SUMMER 2026

This summer, our goal is clear: to fully complete several demo tracks and release a FRŒM album online. That means reaching consensus on the different tracks, making deliberate choices, and putting in focused, dedicated work to bring everything together.
