INVITATION TO EVERYBODY_CREATE A HUMAN LOVE NET_PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION

Berlin Calling (Remix)

There’s a chicken wing restaurant near where I live that on Saturdays I often go to 

After cutting the grass and 
Wacking the weeds
Any  trimming any bushes unruly 

After several months if you sit in the same place the waitresses all get to know you 

And I always sit down 
in young Deborah’s section, 
she’s got a crush on yours truly

She really enjoys all the stories I tell and she laughs at my hilarious jokes 

She always makes sure I have plenty of ketchup, she doesn’t do that for the rest of these folks

Men, don’t fall in love with your waitress 
Being nice to you is part of her job 
Sure, she laughs at your jokes but she laughs at the jokes 
Of every Tom, Dick and Harry or Bob

One Saturday I’m sitting in my usual spot, but Debbie didn’t show for her shift 

And I’m thinking My god, 
what on earth could be wrong 
If I had her address then I could save her

And so I lied and told her manager that Debbie had called me and asked if I could give her a lift 

 He gave me her address 
On a cocktail napkin
And I thanked the man for doing me this favor! 

And I imagined when she saw me I would be her handsome hero and she’d plant on me a passionate kiss 

She’d say “leave your stupid, fat cow wife, she doesn’t love you, marry me instead and we’ll have marital bliss” 

Men, don’t fall in love with the waitress 
You’re not her white knight on a giant white galloping steed 
You’re just another guy who got the cheeseburger combo 
And an appetizer he didn’t need

So I drove up to her trailer and knocked softly on her screen 
And this 6 foot four gorilla came to greet me. 
He had perhaps the largest biceps I had ever seen 
And his fists were more than big enough to beat me. 

I said, “ I was sent to check on Debbie, make sure she’s okay 
Debbie then appeared engulfed in sadness 
She said, “wait a second, I know you, you’re there each Saturday. 
Why the hell did they give you my address?   

I said, “listen, I just wanted to make sure you were alright 
We’ve become so close I care about you deeply 
She said, “I just serve you chicken wings, what gives you the right! 
Get the hell off of my porch, you’re fucking creepy!  

So I got back in my car and I drove quickly away, for a moment there I feared for my life 

I knew that I had overstepped 
Her personal boundary 
And I could never sit again in Debbies section 

I thought from now on that after finishing the lawn, I should have a couple beers with my wife. 

We’re old and fat with two grown kids 
But just like Darwin said 
You have to trust in natural selection 

Men, don’t fall in love with your waitress 
On your personal reality try to keep a  very firm grip 
You’ve got a mortgage, a fat wife and four kids who need you 
So pay the check and leave a generous tip

Don't Fall In Love With The Waitress

United In Heaven

The Earth Love

Daylight Moon (Remix)

Cast of Characters:
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell –electric piano, synth and original seed 
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–guitar, mix, and production
K2 and the Three [and the Four]-- @k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums
Llanpsych– @llanpsych –Tez– Guitar
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –five-string fretless bass guitar
The Eclectic Collective – composition

 This song began with JJ, as many of our songs do, who composed the outline on the keys, drums, and bass. He then let everyone else in on it immediately. Ken was first up to bat by laying his always cunning drums in there. After he had a beat to work with, Josh used his tree trunk of a five-string fretless bass to complete the rhythm section. Soon after, Tez and Stephen both laid their magical guitars in there. Once we had it all in the can, Stephen used his powers of production to give us a great mix.
  This one came together relatively quickly, which is a good sign that we're all enthusiastic about what we're creating. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.

Mellow Travels (The Eclectic Collective)

The unfinished journey of the lost tooth

NervousDay M++Battalion

method: first, I created a shaman-monk-version (mostly ‚Gregorian‘ voice and jaw harp) on cassette tape (this is where some of the noise - especially in the first section - derives from) and zoom r20 with a vacuum-tube pre-amp for the voice ….. all of which I then treated like a field recording sample in Samplitude - sculpting it with vst instruments and effects. 
narration: it feels like I have sonified this poem a million times before …. which might be the case because I have lived through it that often - I and others I dearly care for …. but then again … I might have actually done so. it is also part of the cycle SONIC CASCADE published in  A SINGLE LOOP OF FORTUNES. Alternative titles are ‚TWO-PLACE‘ and ‚04s SAMPLE‘. For this publication, I simplify the title to  ‚SAMPLE‘.
Image: copyright jo richter. you see some of the instruments used in the shaman-monk-version, arranged with a bracelet as though displayed in a museum. 

poem / copyright jo richter:

two-place sleeps on the ground
and still doesn‘t know where it is -
all of its strings sound sound
in heaven-hellish bliss -
nothing, it says, goes amiss
that doesn‘t want to be found

THE BOY - CO2 DANCE

This is my old alternative rock tune. Everything by myself. I was inspired by Raiohead and Nine Inch Nails. I recorded this with a 4 track recorder.  
Free download if you like it.

Thank you very much for your support! Enjoy!

The idea is creating a grid, everybody can connect wherever she/he likes, at any station of the net, with his/her music and words of  love and peace, anybody can use any part of the whole and remix, develop, conbine, connect, where he wants, all is open to all - if we all make it downloadable it works. You can use my words and my translation, or not, and i would love to hear your voices, spoken, sung. and if anyone would like to read my text in English that would be lovely. the idea is: we can all be neighbours. you can choose from whom you take the last tones and to whom you bring yours'. Each part could be as short as you want, but not longer than about 2 minutes. So at the very beginning there are my words, but then the beginning can be anywhere. You can participate several times too.Please inform me when you have published the Chain with your part in it and i will collect the CHAINS in a playlist, and please write my description  in your description. and add your description, whatever, RIDERS IN THE LIGHT FROM HEART TO HEART.

Familiar With The Supreme Discipline - REMOTELY CREATIVE & AUGENMERK

Karin Tarabochia: German text and voice

Jonathan Beckenstein: English text, voice, music

The words are below, followed by a note from Karin.

Mit der Königsdisziplin vertraut werden, dem Feind die Hand reichen, der Liebe ins Wort schauen, mein Herzwohl in den Raum öffnen und verzichten auf das Normale, vergessen, was normal war, mein Jetzt, das Katastrophale, ins Licht stellen, anvertrauen, übergeben, die Sichel vom Nacken nehmen, den Brand von den Flammen lösen, Abschied nehmen vom Gewohnten, ich werde diesen Weg gehen.

Are we sleeping together tonight
As the room goes on fire around us
And the walls crumble into our bed
Are we sleeping together again?

Are we sleeping together my love
As the hours pass by us untried
Do our dreams disappear when we waken
Are we sleeping again side by side?

Are we sleeping together this year
As the seasons pass by us untasted
And only a handful to come
Are we sleeping together my love?

from Karin:

We create a LOVE NET by making "chains", adding the own love music and vocals to music or vocals that are already in the playlist. Feel free to use any existing part in love and respect, and remix, develop, continue, add ... the aim is to let chains grow and spread to a net. In order to that it makes sense to keep the parts short, that is possible to hear longer chains. It would be lovely to hear love messages in many languages. Please copy the description in your description, that it can go on, and when publishing please make it downloadable for others.
1. download an existing chain or single part
2. add yours
3.publish all together including the description in your description

And from me: If anyone wants individual stems from this piece to use in any way with Karin's voice, as she suggests, please message me. Thanks.

Part the Fire, Side by Side (with Augenmerk)

Another try with one of Karins(Augenmerk) poems, this time setting the poem even more in focus and extending it throught the whole track, the original track from Karin is found here: https://soundcloud.com/augenmerk/invitation-open-love-collab-human-net-around-the-world-familiar-with-the-supreme-discipline and my original track is found here: https://soundcloud.com/agnosturaelwar/the-march-for-humanity 
I think they fitted well together yet Karins poem has big room for understanding I grasp my first intuition of it. By making the repeating of Karins poem it follows the repeating theme in the music and find the same pace and form.
I challenge other listeners to tryto make their version as well, its also possible to rework this version and add someting to this
