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.  

/ 

Soul Maniacs- A collective soul & funk band

One of 1,300 Israeli Academics Against War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity
/
In the shadow of war, more than 1,200 Israeli academics have broken ranks with silence, raising their voices against war crimes and the devastation in Gaza. Their open letters and campus protests put the suffering of Palestinians in the center, naming the deliberate starvation and destruction as crimes against humanity. Professors, scholars, and students stand together—no longer quiet enablers, but truth seekers whose hearts refuse denial, demanding justice and a future where innocent lives are protected. This rebellion of conscience is a spark in the dark, a plea that history must never forgive silence: for the children, for this land, for humanity itself.

Plaza in Gaza — The Art of the Deal 2.0 (A Middle Eastern Nightmare)
/
“The Art of the Deal” is forever tied to Donald Trump — but this 2.0 is the updated edition from Jared Kushner, his son‑in‑law and heir to the negotiating mantle of the House of Kushner. Kushner’s 2.0 vision carries forward the legacy of Trump‑style dealmaking into the volatile heart of the Middle East. Following on the Abraham Accords, he pushes for normalization, redevelopment, and ambitious “economic frameworks” for a post‑war Gaza — plans laced with real estate dreams, massive investment funds, and sweeping regional restructuring. This is high‑stakes diplomacy mingled with business ambition: an updated, risk‑charged sequel to the original dealmaker’s creed. The track captures that collision of politics, profit, and human cost — where plazas and nightmares share the same map.

A Farewell: If Hearts Remain Hardened, the World May Still Fall

// Shimmering Like a Constellation, Just Within Reach
/
/ Ein Abschied: Wenn die Herzen verhärtet bleiben, kann die Welt noch fallen
/ 告别：如果人心依旧冷硬，世界仍可能陨落
/ विदाई: यदि दिल कठोर बने रहते हैं, तो दुनिया अभी भी गिर सकती है
/ Una despedida: Si los corazones permanecen endurecidos, el mundo aún puede caer
/ وداعًا: إذا ظلت القلوب قاسية، فقد يسقط العالم
/ Un adieu : Si les cœurs restent endurcis, le monde peut encore tomber
/ বিদায়: যদি হৃদয় শক্ত থাকে, পৃথিবী এখনও পড়ে যেতে পারে
/ Uma despedida: Se os corações permanecerem endurecidos, o mundo ainda pode cair
/ Прощание: Если сердца останутся ожесточёнными, мир всё ещё может пасть
/ الوداع: اگر دل سخت رہیں تو دنیا ابھی بھی گر سکتی ہے
/ Perpisahan: Jika hati tetap membatu, dunia mungkin masih akan runtuh
/ 別れ：心が硬いままであれば、この世界はまだ崩れ落ちるかもしれない
/ Farewell: If heart continue hard, world fit still fall
/ وداعًا: لو القلوب فضلت قاسية، العالم ممكن ينهار
/ एक निरोप: जर हृदये कणखर राहतील तर जग अजून पडू शकते
/ Bir veda: Kalpler sert kalmaya devam ederse, dünya hâlâ düşebilir
/ 别言：心体若还硬，世界阿拉仍然会倒落
/ విడుదల: గుండెలు గట్టి ఉంటే, ప్రపంచం ఇంకా కుప్పకూలవచ్చు
/ الوداع: جی کر دل سخت رہسن، دنیا ہن وی گر سکدی اے
/ Lời từ biệt: Nếu trái tim vẫn chai sạn, thế giới vẫn còn có thể sụp đổ
/ 작별 인사: 마음이 굳어 있다면 세상은 여전히 무너질 수 있다"
