Dragonette - My Legs (Eric Jadi Remix)

Arthur Brown (Abdowntown) sent me this great track with a beat and a fantastic hook and asked me if I could write lyrics to it. So within half an hour I finished the lyrics, improvised while recording, added harmonies to it and then asked Eefje to add her voice to it, and Ed to add a guitar solo at the end. Then Arthur came up with a rap he had written ....and I just mixed all these tracks together. And I love the final result. Here are their personal clouds:

2 minute Blues (open for collaboration read the description)

I wrote this as a tribute to the miners in the miner's strike of 84.  My dad was a miner all his working life (from age 12!) until he was invalided out with pneumoconiosis - and no compensation.  He never worked again so poverty came knocking on the door.  In South Wales the mining communities were strongly knit by history, culture and a very hard way of earning a living.  That is pretty much gone now and its death knell was under the Thatcher government with the strike in 84.  My dad died in 82 so never saw this happen. I saw the miners march back to work after a lot of suffering and then the whole industry collapse.  The economic reality anyway was that the high quality anthracite coal was too expensive to mine and could not compete with open-cast coal imported from Australia even.   So it was "gone" even though there is still plenty there.  This song is dedicated to a community that fades into memory.  Go sing the chorus in a pub somewhere! I always had a vision of a Welsh male voice choir belting this out at some big concert.  Dream on. I might do a different arrangement one day.
For those who don't know it, a "tommy box tin" was a miner's metal lunch box. It was square at one end and rounded at the other.  My dad had a rusty old tin like that.

A+Out

During the course of writing and recording their upcoming debut album for the Annabel (lee) project of mellow, moody jazz, classical and folk stylings, (www.myspace.com/seachild) Richard and Annabel took a little time to explore their shared love of dance music.

My Mistake builds from a cooking jazz loop into a deep, club bossa tune featuring clavinet, flute and Annabel’s beautifully plaintive vocals. Already tested on the Jazz Cafe dancefloor by Dom Servini it caused quite the funky buzz!

Remixes come courtesy of a trio of unfeasibly talented multi-instrumentalist producers. Scrimshire (Wah Wah 45s), Cortes (Kolonki Records)and Young David (Universal Vibes).

In Time

I love Spanish music...... It inspires me,Wim.

Spanish Heart

Isabel Weiß - child's voice
Oddrun Eikli - vocals, lyrics, melody lines
Axel Weiß - guitar, chords, whistling

Art video: http://youtu.be/n4MwskRAM9s

This song is dedicated to the children of our world and to the love between them and their parents. Just two and a half chords here, to hold it pure. My lovely daughter Isabel starts with an old children's rhyme about a little butterfly which is searching for a dancer (she sang it about 20 years ago). And my dear friend and musical compagnion Oddrun from Oslo enriches us with her magical vocals and lyrics.

SHINY TINY CUTY, 2010, Remastered 2012

A jazzy tune from 2010. Another proof for the devinity of midi editing. Could do magic.

Hope you enjoy your listen !

AGE GEE ASS - SHINY TINY CUTY, 2010, Remastered 2012

DIRTY NOISE, complete album 2011, Remastered 2012

In 2011 I recorded 2 entire albums. They got quite different in style and genre. The first one was the "Freshness" album, which I published already in dedication to Venus Panthar and James Noble. This one is a Rock album mainly influenced by Pop and Funk.

"Dirty Noise" is a pure Hard Rock album. Most of the tunes are here at Fanda already as single track releases. But I think it shows just another perspective to listen to the album in one go. 

Songlist:

01 P.O.P. - PISS OFF POLITICIANS
02 SISTER SUNSHINE
03 CREATURES
04 TROUBLE SHOOTER 
05 WISH AGE   (Solo Lead by Stefan Hartl - Cheers brother !)
06 BANKER'S BUSINESS
07 FUCK THE FAKE
08 RAT POISON
09 EAT YOUR TRASH
10 INCREDIBLE

Need that simply structured and flat footed Hard Rock sometimes. 

50 minutes and 50 seconds for 10 songs - hope you will enjoy !

ROCK 'n' ROLL !!!  GET WILD !!!

HEADACHES AND HEARTACHES, 2012

This is my very first release of a pure blues song here at Fanda. The instrumental was recorded in October 2012. Sent it over to Roger for a pre-listen. Wanted him to play some additional guitar stuff to it. He didn't  - because he thought there were no more guitars needed. 
But to my big surprise he came up with this vocal version of our tune a few days later. 

Lyrics and vocals by ROGER CHANDLER / Oakville / Canada.

All other instruments, idea, recording, arrange, mix and mastering by 
HG SCHMITZ / Duisburg / Germany.

Roger - great job, bro !   Proud to have you on bord here !

WHERE TO NOW

Where to now my love
we have tried - or have we
friends just suits me fine
so tell me what do you see

The laughter that we have
yet unfortunately we are apart
love is all I wanted
what do you see in your heart

CHORUS:
Well, all I want to know is where to now
give me a ring and let me know
Songster, model in harmony
follow me and we shall go

So, where to now my love
our time came but not went
there is no forward no looking back
all we have is the moment

CHORUS:

BREAK

CHORUS:




Where To Now [with Guy Trépanier]

The opening is dedicated to the wonderful music of John Coltrane. His ballad 'Naima' was the inspiration for the first part of this tune, played in one take. The second half is a spontaneously created latin jazz impro, played spontaneously in two spontaneous first takes too - on the rhythmic and the solo track. 

'Waters of Life' was generously featured over several months on Neworld TV in New York City (many thanks to Sasha Hohri for the biig support). 
Thanks a bunch to all listeners and friends here, too.

Waters of Life

Emanative & Ahmed Abdullah - Love In Outer Space

Saxophonist Matz Haugen throws down a solo that really takes this track to the next level. This is his first track that isn't a jazz tune, and man I think he killed it. I'd refer you to his other stuff, but he's just starting to record now. More coming soon!

Clap Yo' Hands (feat. Matz Haugen)

Many thanks to Guy Trépanier for adding a fantastic mandolin to this track. I am so grateful our path have crossed and as with all our previous collaboration I'm thrilled with the result

SOMEHOW YOU COPE

When somebody you love is so out of your life
You just feel you can not go on
You feel exhausted
From thinking
That you can’t go on
Oh I know, Oh I know
But somehow you cope

When your sitting alone in the dark again
You just want her there by your side
You feel frustrated
For knowing
That she can’t be there
Oh I know, Oh I know
But somehow you cope

[BREAK]
You know that if there’s always a way there’s a do to do something
For somehow you just gotta cope
If she can’t come to you then why don’t you go to her?
For somehow you just gotta cope

When somebody you love …..

Somehow You Cope [with Guy Trépanier]

Nr 11 from the "12 Etudes"  by the brazilian composer Heitor Villa-Lobos.

guitar played by Frank Hiemenz 
recorded in puzzlepie studio Munich/Türkenfeld ('88) 
-------------------------
This recording was part of an unfinished studio project. Only a compact cassette (!) copy of the original studio tape remained from this.

note : I uploaded the Etudes 11+12 already a year ago, but in a very bad soundqualitiy. 
Meanwhile my abilities in restauration of old tape material increased, so I decided not to use the "replace" function but to upload them again.

Étude Nr.11 by H.Villa-Lobos

My arrangement of the Classic Dave Brubeck tune for four.... count 'em, four guitars. 

Brubeck heard this unusual rhythm performed by Turkish musicians on the street. Upon asking the musicians where they got the rhythm, one replied "This rhythm is to us, what the blues is to you." Hence the title "Blue Rondo à la Turk."

The rhythm consists of three measures of 2+2+2+3 followed by one measure of 3 + 3 + 3 and the cycle then repeats.

The piece is sometimes incorrectly assumed to be based on the Mozart composition "Rondo alla Turca." In 2003, during an interview, Dave Brubeck commented that "I should've just called it 'Blue Rondo', because the title just seemed to confuse people.

Blue Rondo à la Turk (arr. for 4 guitars)
