Collaborations

This track was recorded in collaboration with Nick from "An Imaginal Space", one of the most amazing artists I've latelly found in Soundcloud. He has played in this track several layers of violins (Hardanger Fiddles, actually). I hope you like it as much as we do.

"El Pulso Que No Cesa". In collaboration with "An Imaginal Space"

I called it Soundcloud Mix, cause this is what the nature of soundcloud is to me.... collaborating and making friends thru music !

East by Dirk Maassen feat. An Imaginal Space

I have recently enjoyed contributing to two collaborations and when Fivos Valachis posted the track 'Ithaka' for open collaboration I could not resist offering something in response to it. 

Fivos's composition is based upon the poem "ITHAKA" by Konstantinos Kavafis and upon reading it I found that it offered a very different perspective upon the journey to Ithaka to the one that I am familiar with in the context of the Odyssey. I will continue to reflect upon and consider this different perspective however in preparing to work on this my first thought was for Penelope. As such it is with thoughts upon separation, loss and longing that this interpretation is rooted. I hope that it is pleasing to your ears and offers something to the soul.....

Thank you Fivos for the opportunity to contribute to this beautiful composition. I hope that you like my interpretation.

Passage of Light - An Imaginal Space with Karl Verkade

Collaboration between An Imaginal Space and Arun Kendall (The Hadron Colliders).

Lyrics:

I saw the light I saw the time
I saw the wasted days go by
I saw the sawdust on the floor
I saw the feelings left behind
He gave you everything you want
I gave you everything you need
But it doesn’t mean a thing, anything at all 

Spring comes
Spring fades
And every winter I am waiting
Spring comes
Spring fades
And all I want is to remember

I read the book I knew the end
He changed the story so he’d win
I froze this moment for a life
And kept it hidden out of sight
He gave you everything you want
I gave you everything you need
But it doesn’t mean a thing, anything at all

Spring comes
Spring fades
And every winter I am waiting
Spring comes
Spring fades
And all I want is to remember

As this is a theme which also resonates with my experience I thought I would have a go at adding some ambient guitar textures to Fivos's powerful composition....
