Kickin  It For You  (David Krakauer) - with Joerxworx

This track has been possible thanks to the help of artists from USA/Russia/Germany/France on the base of a simple base track with leading ideas of giving tribute to French authors/composers Maxime Leforestier and Claude Nougaro's wonderful melodies (see links herebelow) supporting awareness on important issues at their time ...and nowadays still it seems .... Further melodic routes were found by all through musical interactions ... 
I feel I owe so much recognition to these great artists who understood my first musical ideas ...and pushed them to a height I would never had imagined :)

@kat330 for her singing (I love her idea of evoking native americans incantations)
@joerxworx whose sax is so soulful and who plays so well with other instruments (clarinet in particular which he understands and plays very well ;-)
@project-managers-trio : (Igor) for his amazing satrianesque/pagesque guitar solos 
@jules-keys-1 : for his amazing duduk play (armenian oboe)
https://soundcloud.com/johnbodi : for fantastic classic/jazzy colors added with the piano
Wonderful graphic image from : JT Lindroos


I'm the one behind all this, I play all other real (including rythmic guitar and my brother's old trumpet ! ..) or vst instruments ..; I  have been so happy to mix everyone's inputs

Born Somewhere (Né quelque part)- feat Kathleen, Igor, Jörg, John &  Julien

My next more heavy track. At first there was the bass. It is inspired by the bass sound of Peter Steele from Type 0 Negative (May he rest in peace).  Second I wanted to add a classical element again. This time I put an oboe into this track :-))). 
All instruments were played by me, except the drums which came from addictive drums 2, as usual ;-).
Enjoy!!!
For some interested guys ;-))
guitars I've used:
rhythm & semi lead played with Schecter Custom 7-string
lead played with '62 Strat customshop with a set of 60's Kloppmann pickups ;-)))

Giving thanks to all that is 

This song is for freedom

It is a blessing to be a part of this SoundCloud community

Fun fact! This song evolved from this song: 
https://soundcloud.com/alpha-roots/binghi-biscuits

I was so inspired by Alpha Roots original Nyabinghi drumming I had to make another original song using the Binghi Biscuits drum stem that showed my great respect and love for Nyabinghi chants in Reggae Music.

Lyrics:

On a day sweetened by a breeze that enlightens us with prana
I wanna climb this earth to find a place where we will sing hosanna
hosanna, hosanna
I wanna climb this earth to sing hosanna

And in sweet meditation we will meet to dance in ultimate freedom
Floating in the universal ghee outside of Vishnu’s dream in Eden
In Zion, in Eden
We will meet to dance in ultimate freedom
In Eden, in Zion
We will meet to dance in ultimate freedom 

Alpha Roots & the Couch King / Russell Sinfield / Joerxworx / Mark Rodriguez - Hosanna (For Freedom)

When  you experience hectic public transports (vive la RATP !) , wait for substitute buses under cold rain,  and finally miss your plane , there's only one thing that can make you happy : think of the famous Soul Train Show ! (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soul_Train)
That's what happened to me this week :)) Hope you enjoy this bluesy funky ...kind of rocky (?) one ;-)

I'd like to thank https://soundcloud.com/orlando-lund very much for the dowloadable drum part https://soundcloud.com/orlando-lund/go-go-beat which inspired me as well and which I used for this track. What a groove :))

****
lyrics (well ...so to speak ..;-)

Slow Train 
I'd rather be in the soul train 
Cold rain
I'd rather be in the soul train

There has been a great show on french TV (ARTE) on Soul Train presented by Aline Afanoukoé (in the picture)  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dn4-lOw24Y8

Wide Open (blacks Seeds) - Jam With Jörg (WIP)

I appreciate the opportunity that this time gives me to reflect on my values, ideas, and beliefs. The interactions between the different generations, cultures, environments, and technologies will constantly be an agent of change and catalyst for our further evolution. I wish to be a part of this change with open mindedness, free thinking, and a nonjudgmental attitude. 

Massive thanks to Tophonicus who got this track started, i don't know...maybe a year ago...It requires a lot of patience to work with me, lol. Tophonicus' original track is massive and was instantly inspirational. 

Many more thanks flow out to She's Excited for assisting with the vocal arrangement and adding some pure style to the track. She's Excited is incredible and I love working with her. I bow down to Joerxworx, Styrmonix, and Alex Sinfield for their passionate, skillful, and creative horn blowing contributions. I want to go on tour with all these guys!!!

Finally, big thanks to the one and only Russ Sinfield for his many hours mixing and mastering and actually making this song sound good. I often give him a mess to work with, especially since I only record with my built in computer mic and refuse to use my real mics, lol

Lyrics: 

I feel the pain and I wanna 
ignite
You feel the pain and you wanna incite 
We feel the pain and we wanna start a fight
fight
Put us all together and shit about to go down right

tell me bout your trouble i can always tell you double we rebuttle to rebuttle struggle just to validate the struggle using mental muscle as the words start to fumble and the logic starts to crumble gotta hold it all together and stay inside the bubble
now i’ma break free from all that 
the truths no longer evident as lies become more prevalent from shouting out of sentiment
now we ain't gonna take it back

yea
now we ain’t gonna take it back
yea
now there’s no turning back
yea
now we ain’t gonna take it back
yea
now there’s no turning back

we all done being polite wid it
time we all sayz it like we feelz it 
fuck any feelings time to handle your biz
people out there bout to grow up real quick 

it’s about freedom of speech, it’s about freedom to preach, it’s about critical thinking, it’s about not simply believing, it’s about having discerment, sometimes it’s bout fucking the government, sometimes it’s admitting your wrong, sometimes it’s bout not getting along, 
it’s always bout seeking the truth but it’s not only bout speaking and hearing your truth, it’s about growing our rights without infringing on rights, it’s about being taking pride while showing love to the people worldwide
let’s pause 
for a moment now
let’s pause 
just for a moment now
let’s pause 
just for a moment now
let’s pause 
and give strength to the cause 

Sit down, be still
Isn't that nice

Hey Hey
We are the ones
No More
We are the ones
Hey Hey
We are the ones 
That we've been waiting for
And we are the ones
To know on your door
You can't ignore us anymore

I’m about to blow up, all you gotta do is show up and the fists start to go up and the (click click) start to throw up and the (siren) start to roll up see the whole worlds gone and woke up take close up we done grown up real bad 
the devils done shown up torn up and real mad 
shit about to get real quick cause we’ve had
enough of all that wack shit talking smack shit we ain’t gon be violent but aint never gonna be silent

Tophonicus, She's Excited, Joerxworx, Styrmonix, Alex & Russ Sinfield, Couch King - We Are The Ones

LYRICS
I see your face roll into the dark
I know this is the only place where we can start
To be real just like we wanted to be
I felt it so long this is where I wanna be (yeah)

This is the place we used to go
On the cold dark nights when you felt alone
You told me that it felt like home
So tell me what's the deal with you
You're just a sheep in someone elses shoes 
Keep running until you burn out 
it won't be long before you break down
---------------------------------------------------------------------
I see your face roll into the dark
I know this is the only place where we can start
To be real just like we wanted to be
I felt it so long this is where I wanna be (yeah)
