Here's a recent collection of tunes I have had the pleasure of recording with Germany's superb bassist Mirko Borach - aka, Stringburner https://soundcloud.com/stringburner 

Mirko is a deep funk player, always in the pocket, and has an extraordinary sense of rhythm that he demonstrates with his playing and soloing.   His solos on Sco-Mule and Sharing the Way especially show his command and artistry.   In addition to these tunes, Mirko has recorded with a number of other top electric guitarists here on SoundCloud, including Dan van den Berg.   Enjoy these tunes, which also feature guitarists Justin Valente and Ned Bolle, keyboardists Julien Apelian and Calaminus, and flute and sax player Santi-Caballero Mendez.  

Thanks as always for your time listening, your comments - which you can't add here - and for your sharing of the music and musicians.

Stretching It Out With Stringburner - Mirko Borach

Well, we can at least hope for a very long coffee break then...
those who are able to make reponsible and environmentally sustainable decisions should take it. Now!

Renaturation during a Coffee Break

feed the silence, I'll pray for you
while I bleed again within
your knife cuts violent, the wounds are deep
and it stings the soul you need

I see a pool of black and no light
the way you stare at me with those dead eyes
turn on the energy with the right vibe
too late, you got so cold, no revive
no revive (x3), the thoughts they thrive (x3), still alive (x3), must survive (x3)

feed the silence, I'll pray for you
while I bleed again within
your knife cuts violent, the wounds are deep
and it stings the soul you need

I put you in the box you belong in
waved bye and said so long to the demons
come out from underground, it was pushing
old wounds that stitched back up, well they're open

well they're open (x3)

feed the silence, I'll pray for you
while I bleed again within 
your knife cuts violent, the wounds are deep
and it stings the soul you need

Feed the Silence

Here's an original Latin Jazz groove that includes the very fine Spanish flutist Santi-Caballero Mendez https://soundcloud.com/santi-caballero and German bassist Mirko Borach (Stringburner) https://soundcloud.com/stringburner.  Wrote this tune with kind of a Santana groove, and think you will love what Santi-Caballero does with his gorgeous flute playing.  I have the trombone patch solos.  Route 251 is named after the classic II-V-I chord changes around which the tune is built.  Please check out and follow both Santi-Caballero and Stringburner's galleries - you will love their musicianship.

As always, thanks for your time listening, your comments, and your shares.



Route 251 - with Santi-Caballero Mendez flute and Stringburner (Mirko Borach) bass

At the beginning, Jamie and I wanted to create a jam session with 3 keyboardists. We started the track with Calaminus at the organ solo, Jamie at the trombone patch and me at the electric piano. Later, Mirko "StringBurner" joined us on the bass, bring us beautiful bass arrangements and an outstanding solo. Thanks to Mirko and thanks to Jamie Rhind & Calaminus  for their amazing keyboards solos.

Sharing The Way - feat. Jamie Rhind - Calaminus & StringBurner

This one is quite a crazy funky fusion track! A great bass player Mirko Borach aka Stringburner(https://soundcloud.com/stringburner )came up with the idea to cover this track by Los Lobotomys, a fusion group that was formed by Steve Lukather in 1989 with some of his friends and talented players, like David Garfield.
Mirko asked Jamie Rhind (https://soundcloud.com/jamie-rhind) and me to join on this one to complete the blend. Jamie brought his Miles' oriented synths, I brought my loud and funk rhythm guitars. We reworked the original, added different sounds and flavours to it, turning it into "Entanglement".  All of us have one solo spot around the main theme. Quite interesting is the turn of events with a more quiet interlude after the guitar solo, something we just had to keep in from the original.

Anyways! We hope to entertain you with this cover of a great fusion track and band. Do check them out if you don't know them already! Los Lobotomys...

Entanglement (cover) - feat. Mirko Borach | Jamie Rhind | Dan van den Berg

Here's another collaboration just packed with funk and great players from around the world.  Represented on this tune are musicians from Germany, Spain, Scotland, France and the US (3).  Pretty sure you will enjoy this one.  It's an original funk fusion tune that lets everyone here stretch it out a bit.  Germany's Mirko Borach (Stringburner) holds down the deep groove on bass, with Barcelona's multi horn player Santi-Caballero Mendez creating the head.  Solos from Mike "Land of Orz" Orzek with a fuzzed out wah guitar, Santi-Caballero smoothing it down on sax, Scotland's finest Ian Tait bringing it back up again with his signature electric funk guitar playing, France's wonderful keyboardist Julien Apelian on a great synth patch, and then New Jersey's fine jazz guitarist Stephan "Pinner" Lipinski bringing it home with his serious Scofield funk guitar style.  Wow.  So much playing here.  Great job guys!

Delay Of Game is a soulful trio interplay between New Jersey's Mike Orzek's bluesy talking wah guitar, Germany's Mirko Borach's funky bass playing and my delayed Rhodes groove.  These guys found the pocket immediately, and together have turned out another fine one...just in time for your weekend listening pleasure.  

If you are not following them, head to their impressive galleries immediately - Mike https://soundcloud.com/lando-orz has a ton of great music across many genres, and Mirko's https://soundcloud.com/stringburner doing his serious funk and slap bass and fusion tracks with other world class guitarists.

Delay Of Game - with Land of Orz / guitar and Stringburner / bass

Lyrics:
I was thinking ‘bout you this morning
Can’t explain exactly why
Maybe it’s just this time of year
‘Bout a year ago you said good-bye
Chorus: 
I don’t want to hold you back now
There’s nothing left to say
 
I can still see you at the kitchen table
Yeah, it’s where you started almost every day
I was reading the paper…you were reading your tea leaves
You said they helped you find your way
Chorus: 
I don’t want to hold you back now
There’s nothing left to say

So I’m writing you this letter
That I’ll probably never send
But you can read it in your tea leaves
See just how the story ends
Chorus: 
Oh, I don’t want to hold you back now
Oh, There’s nothing left to say

A message from Mirko:

"The journey continues!

After releasing "Redemption" on SoundCloud which was a full success, we were thinking of a part II to continue the journey into great spheres of fusion and progressive rock. 
This time it should be more intense, more heavy and more mind-blowing than the first part. 
Like a spaceship flight through other dimensions.

With the same line-up as on “Redemption” but now supported by Martin of the British metal band Winterfire on drums we want to enter some parallel worlds of sound.

The title Parallel Worlds should explain our hopes and feelings when we fall asleep.
Falling into a dream our mind is drifting into a parallel universe of different moods and atmospheres.

This track takes us back to instrumental prog rock bands like Planet X with such great musicians like Derek Sherinian, Tony MacAlpine, Virgil Donati and Tom Kennedy.

Again Julien Apelian gives us outstanding key and piano lines and a magic synth solo from outer space.
Dan van den Berg’s splendid rhythm and lead guitar work took us beyond the bounds of universe. 
Jamie Rhind discovers new space at the speed of light with an awesome synth solo.
A man called Martin’s great drums are pure gravity holding it all perfectly together and finally Mirko Borach’s deep bass grooves took us to undiscovered planets and back.

As always we really appreciate your comments, likes and shares!"
