The horor of slavery too much to bear, it is discomforting and those who did owe their victims forever apology 😭

what is freedom? //
living proof by collabs #august 2025 - con mucho AuGusto
/
august brought a wave of inspired collaborations—so many creative sparks flew this month!

musically speaking, a lot of flavors covered: live jams, jazz fusion, funk, house, techno, classic rock anthems, punk, alternative, experimental, ambient, lo-fi, hip-hop, folk, singer-songwriter—every groove under the sun welcome.

our musical handshakes reached out from argentina to germany, poland, italy, japan, and switzerland.

languages dropped in the mix: english and german

collaboration languages: spanish, german, polish, japanese, english, and of course, swiss german

the playlist keeps the chronological drop order more or less, track one is already the exception of the rule - this song sums up this month of August in turmoil quite well, for me at least.

What's Coming: Freedom in Frequency+ // 
Soul Maniacs live @ Damm, Zürich / Switzerland 
/
music: 
two cover versions performed by the Soul Maniacs, a collective based in Zürich, Switzerland.
/ 

Streetplayers are the pulse—urban troubadours weaving raw life into every beat and rhyme.  
They own the streets’ secrets and stories, turning the daily grind into art and anthem.  
More than performers, they’re navigators of culture’s undercurrent—voices of unfiltered truth.  
In every corner, their signal sparks connection: streetwise poetry alive and thriving.

Guess What, The Colonials Never Left - We Wanted To Believe // Machine Line Mix

Trophy (Show Pony)- Fire Ark Radio Production

Trophy

Who got the funk (Vocoder version2)

Coercive is an ambient exploration of control, tension, and the quiet unease that hides beneath relationships. Through evolving textures, and fragile melodic fragments, the track reflects the slow erosion of boundaries — the way affection can twist into pressure, and intimacy into power.
This piece drifts through that emotional terrain — where vulnerability meets manipulation, and intimacy begins to suffocate. The layered drones and shifting harmonics mirror the emotional confusion of coercive love: beauty that feels heavy, comfort that feels conditional.
Subtle dissonances weave through moments of calm, reflecting the contradictions of affection and dominance coexisting. Every swell, every quiet decay, is a conversation between freedom and fear — between wanting to be seen, and being reshaped.

Pierre and Jean-CLaude Bordetti productions (c) 11/2025.

Pierre Bordetti and Jean-Claude Bordetti.
Thanks to my brother Jean-Claude for this great performance on drums and percussion.
Many thanks to Julie for this magnificent photo of Tanzania.

An ambient instrumental jazz piece inspired by this photo of elephants. These marvelous creatures, so strong, so tranquil, and unfortunately so fragile because of us humans.

Un Jazz instrumental d'ambiance inspiré de cette photo d'éléphants. Ces merveilles créatures si fortes, si tranquilles et malheureusement si fragilisées par les êtres humains que nous sommes.
