This is the collection of most of my collaborative work with talented musicians in the wonderful Cloud of Sounds. (The list will hopefully be longer in time.) It's a real treat to be able to collab with fellow musicians around the world - broadening and hopefully extending the understanding that we all are humans on the same planet Earth...

I hope you'll enjoy listening and at the same time be inspired to do some collab in the Cloud of your own - with me or some other SC!

AndAWan Collaborations in the Cloud

without singer😆

December 23, 2012, 22:40 CET

This is my compilation of collaborative tracks involving Vlad Josephson from Sydney, Australia. Vlad is a very talented and generous friend. He has always been ready to add his wonderful singing bass to any musical proposal and one of my main supportive friends in the Cloud since my trying first steps....

Thanks a million Vlad! Your support is very much appreciated and has been one of the main things making me dare to share my music to the world!

I'm very proud of all my tracks collaborating with you!

/Anders

One of the tracks is the original instrumental track that later became the track "Fuglesang - Like for The First Time" with Oddrun E and Dave M (please read track info).

---------------------------------------------------------

I recomment you all to visit and follow his page. There you can listen at his excellent tracks. Full of collaborative work with musicians from all over the world!

Fuglesang - original instrumental version (Vlad Josephson/AndAWan collab)

2012 13 May 11:15 CET (ST)

This is my first multi-collab in the Cloud and I have to say that since I joined SC a year ago I really have been enjoing myself musically. I couldn't imagine how much I would "live and breath" with my new friends in the Cloud and how much inspiration to make some new music it would mean to take part in this community in cyberspace...

This piece is made in collab with "bass-master" Vlad Josephson in Australia, "angel-singer" Oddrun Eikli in Norway and "sax-virtous" Dave McKeown in Britain (UK).
Amazing really - to make music without meeting in person...It really works....

Thank you all for the opportunity to do this with you! I have learned a lot in the process!

All comments and feedback are as usual welcome and appreciated.

Thank you for listening!

Enjoy!

Hør på fuglens sang

deles gleden min
fold deg ut mens hjertet slår

Listen to the bird's song

with an open mind
the joy of mine is shared
embrace while the heart beats

Touch (Bekah B featuring Vlad Josephson & AndAWan)

December 9 2012, 10:50 CET

This is the collab between me (Sweden), lovely Debra Gagnon (USA) and Bass-Master Vlad Josephson (Australia).

This is what I love the most about Soundcloud - The opportunity to meet, learn to know and do collab music over the borders of country, time and space....

This piece is experimental and I don't know if it fits any music label....

I had a wonderful time collaborating with my SC friends and I'm really proud. Thank you Debs and Vlad for making this possible!

Hope you all listeners will like it too!

All kind of comments and feedback are as usual welcome and appreciated!

THE TABLE WHERE RICH PEOPLE SIT

Is it an instinct.
tamed feathers in hand?
that I should fold,
become weightless 
beneath your demands?

Carry that wood girl, 
soon you'll be 60 years old 
you'll forget you ache, 
you'll forget the story told 
with each bed you make.

Because you are 
serving 
the table where the rich people 
sit, 
they pay for your smile, 
you to cover the stench of their shit 
you are sure as hell in the thick of it, 
when cleaning the table 
where rich people sit….

But I wonder 
at the price that we pay? 
What if the tables turn 
by merely expensive heartache? 
What if their sheets, their lemon 
their honey, their tea, 
are decoys meant to divide them 
from me?

you've run me ragged because 
you think I'm nothing 
you think I'm nothing more 
than what money can say, 
you buy the silence of the poor… 
but I've had enough 
I've had enough, 
I see beyond their things…. 
they falter eventually, grow sick 
and make dust of the table 
where rich people sit….

The Table Where Rich People Sit  (AndAWan featuring Bekah B & Vlad Josephson)

https://open.spotify.com/artist/3Y4ZN1Dtz8jlk7lxFTdZJ0

It all started with instrumental, synthetic, electronica inspired by nature, life, family and friends and all kind of sounds and music.
Then I met some fellow musicians in the Cloud to do some collaborative work with, whom I now can call my friends.

Now my Music has expanded from hard core electronica to psychedelic post rock, ambient soundscapes, film Music, IDM, jazz and blues, ASMR (Autonomous sensory meridian response)

Ending up starting a music netlabel with some fellow musicians 2016.
Legacy of Thought https://soundcloud.com/legacy-of-thought

Thank you all for the inspiration and joy to create musical adventures together!

I recommend using good headphones or speakers when listening. Otherwise you'll probably miss some of the details in the soundscapes you will find here....
All are original tracks if not stated otherwise!
