Petrus Manvie, Pete Num Varsi, Peanut Mervis, Marius Nepvet, Van Meurs Van Peppen and Piet van Meurs under his own name too, release music through the AIMeurs label. The names of the artists, except for Van Meurs Van Peppen, are anagrams of the name Piet van Meurs (IV), producer, engineer, composer, lyricist, midi-musicmaker and singer, together with his wife Els van Peppen, of all music spanning blues, blues-rock, hard rock, pop-rock, deep house, funk, soul to (nu) jazz and as a hobby and to please Piet (V), gabba, and speed core.

Piet van Meurs Sr. may be older, but he remains highly active, producing music. Every aspect—lyrics, genre, composition, arrangement, performance, his own vocals or those of Els, and the accompanying artwork—is personally determined or created by him. His music and vocal performance are developed using a Native Instruments MIDI controller and keyboard, along with his PC, incorporating his own chords, rhythm loops, and other elements. Today, AI contributes to refining and enhancing the overall quality, making it even more professional. Once complete, he personally, using a DAW, executes the final technical mix and mastering.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly sophisticated, resulting in products—particularly in the fields of photography, art, and music—of ever-higher quality. In this context, AI is expected to play an increasingly significant role in the creation of Piet’s music. In accordance with current legislation, Piet will explicitly disclose the extent to which AI has been used in the production process.

DISCLAIMER
All music released under my name (Piet van Meurs) and aliases (e.g., Van Meurs Van Peppen, Pete Num Varsi, Marius Nepvet, Petrus Manvie) is rooted in personal experience, imagination, and artistic intent. I am the sole author of all lyrics, which are based on real-life events, relationships, or original poetic visions. The musical production process often begins with intros composed by myself using software such as Magix Music Maker or Native Instruments. These intros are created via MIDI performance, with licensed loops and/or original live recordings showcasing my own musical performances, for example on harmonica . Each song is built upon live-recorded material, which informs both the composition and instrumental interpretation. Vocals are performed either by myself or my spouse—with full consent—despite our lack of formal vocal training. These elements serve as the foundation for AI-assisted extension, mixing, creating music by voice followed by cloning a music instrument and therefor controlling the composition and arrangement of the track, by using Suno Studio, including voice cloning based on our own voices. Each track is arranged and structured by me, with clear direction for intro, verse, chorus, bridge, and outro. In some cases, I initiate the process by generating instrumental compositions via prompt-based input, specifying instruments and stylistic choices. From dozens of AI-generated drafts, I select and refine the one that best matches my vision. Before final release, all tracks undergo detailed mastering and editing using the DAW Samplitude Pro X8 Suite (multiband dynamics, sample manipulation, remixing) and final mastering via Mixea. I disclose that AI tools, especially Suno Studio, have been used as part of the creative and technical process. However, all lyrical content, musical direction, vocal identity, partially the instrumental section of the track and final production decisions remain entirely under my authorship and control. This approach reflects my commitment to transparency, artistic integrity, and the ethical use of emerging technologies in music creation.

The inspiration of Piet stems from his deep love for music, his extensive knowledge of numerous genres, his vast collection of recorded music (singles, LPs, CD's and (today) digital releases), a life long experience and, above all, his devotion to his muse, Els. Since 2024, his releases—spanning blues, rock, pop, and a fusion of nu jazz, funk and deep house—have been available for purchase and streaming on platforms such as Qobuz (Hi-res), Beatport, Amazon Music, Spotify, Tidal, YouTube, Apple Music, Sound Cloud and many others.
