I'm really impressed by the large resonance to this open collaboration. That makes me very happy. Many thanks for all your different and fantastic versions.

This week I wanted to work out a few fragments I had in mind, but after a first recording I felt there is no need to work them out. As a set of six pieces, they are telling the whole story to me. Here is the first one.
The others will follow soon. 
from the album "2 Days & a Year"
Enjoy...

Here is a canvas open for collaboration, I produced a few months ago for a Hip-Hop artist. Everything is possible, so take your voice or instrument (or both),  & enjoy...
Looking forward to what you've done.

Hold You Tight feat. Jesfelger

The marvelous Jens Felger shared this music for collaboration. He marked it as hip hop, and after a couple of listens, this came to me. Written and recorded this fine frost-on-the-pumpkin morning of October 24, 2013. Yeah, I love soul.

Music by Jens Felger, lyrics and vocals by me. If you don't follow Jens, you owe to yourself to give his work a listen. One of the best: https://soundcloud.com/jens-felger

I could never be your teacher
I'm not wearing hearts
or patches on my sleeve
but I believe in learning
and I'm yearning for a new start
I catch myself daydreaming
scheming how to reach you
No I can't be your sugardaddy
or a trash talkin' superbaddy
I'm no gambler, no ramble round Joe
I like to take it slow
think before I go
and well I know you might
find that dull but in the lull
in a perfect moment there
make a connection feel
the convection the heat
a beat on a rain slick street
I'm nobody's savior
role model of behavior
yeah, I'm working on that
cut down on the fat, 
looking for the center
wherever that is at
I'm no kinda hero,
juke box, tragicomic
soap box, mega-manic
all I gots right here so
let me get near,
put down your phone
let me say it clear
I am your man,
ain't that what you need
I am your man
it's simple as can be
I am your man.



I Am Your Man/Canvas - Jens Felger Collaboration

the journey goes on with the fifth fragment. 
from the album "2 Days & a Year"
Hope you enjoy...

fragments of a journey #5

Jens has a untitled canvas instrumental that was so wonderful that others have done collaborations on and this one is mine, (hope I haven't destroyed it)I really just had this little poem I wrote and am giving to a woman friend of mine and decided to try something kind of fun like a Minnesota Folksy hip hop, hahhahhaa
Find Jens @ soundcloud.com/jens-felger
lyrics:
There are those that share from the mind
all their thoughts, ideas and schemes
There are those that share from the heart
all their feelings, their emotions and dreams
There are those that share from their soul
and bare open their being to their core
One not better than another
Just another side of a door
That opens to all of our parts
The light, the deep and the dark
We can choose how we want to share
how best as humans to make our mark
We need the thinkers and the feelers
and the soul diggers
For really ... we are all one 
and the same
And some might even think
Life is just one 'bleeping' game
But we are all in this together
No one better than the next
Life has so many lessons
We just try and pass each test
We can move between the three
The soul, the heart and the mind
The main thing is to ask ourselves
"Am I being kind?"


Am I Being Kind - 'canvas' collaboration with Jens Felger-instrumental, lyrics/vocals Cathie

a few months ago, Fivos asked me, if I would play to one of his piano pieces. Finally I had time to record and it was a great pleasure to feel myself into his wonderful music. 
you can hear the original version here: https://soundcloud.com/fivosvalachis/nocturne-29-oct-looping

Don't miss his wonderful music, find him @FivosValachis

in solidarity with Idle No More (idlenomore.ca)

Lyrics:
Blessed we are to dance on this ground
With the rhythm of saints to carry the sound
We hold a prayer for the Earth, for the ones yet to come
May you walk in Beauty and remember your song.

Blessed we are to dance on this ground
With the rhythm of saints to carry the sound
We hold a pray for all Life, for the days yet to come
May you walk in Beauty and remember your soul.

Remember why you came here
Remember your life is sacred.
Remember why you came here
Remember this life is sacred.

A ya ye ya ye ya ye yo (4X)
