SoundCloud collaborations

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.

Back To Roots with Mirko Borach, Jamie Rhind, DD John and Alpha Roots

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!

Thanks as always for your generous time listening, for your comments and for your shares here on SoundCloud and on social media.  Please check out and follow these superb players. 

Funk The Blues   -  Stringburner, Land of Orz, Santi-Caballero, Ian Tait, Julien Apelian and Pinner

Here's one For Miles.  For so many Miles Davis has been the ultimate influence on music.  From the 1940s through his death in 1991, Miles changed music no fewer than 5 times, moving it into new and unchartered territories, and bringing along with him some of the most influential players of each generation and ultimately, the 20th Century.  

For this tribute to Miles I have rounded up the very finest fusion players I know on SoundCloud to participate.  These are highly creative musicians, who understand what Miles has meant, the merging of electricity and jazz, and who are all superb improvisers.  

The trumpet is played by Vivek Patel, who brings with him the lonely Harmon muted sound for which Miles was so well known.  Vivek opens and closes the piece with elegance and with a harmonic and rhythmic edge that Miles was known so well for.  What a treat to have him join us.

Mirko Borach (Stringburner) anchors the essential modal bass line here, helping set and keep that funk groove.  During the 80s, the period from which this draws, Miles was playing with the great Marcus Miller and Darryl Munch Jones.  Think you'll love what German's Mirko brings as always.

The ordering of solos is as follows:

LA's Derek Cornet is a consumate musician, recording so many styles and composing significant pieces as well.  After hearing a fusion tune he recorded that reminded me of Mike Stern's playing (Mike was Miles' guitarist from '81 to '83), I wanted to have his playing on this tribute.  What a great start to the tune!

Australia's CHeeZ tackles the second solo and brings the fire and explosive playing he is know for on SoundCloud.  Anthony hasn't done things with other musicians here on SC and I wanted to give him the change to fly with these other heavyweights.  Wow.

New Jersey's Pinner - Stephen Lipinski - sits in for Miles' other famous early '80s guitarist John Scofield.  And does Pinner bust this out or what?  Bringing the same approach to rhythm and angular soloing that Sco pioneers, this solo is a masterpiece.  

Dan van den Berg follows Pinner with exceptional playing and virtuosity.  Listen how he weaves in and out with the moving chromaticism of my backing horn comping, nailing the movement perfectly.  Wouldn't have don't this tune without Dan, one of the true virtuosos on SC.  

New York based Alto sax pro Matt Criscuolo brings his Kenny Garret sound to For Miles, taking it in and out the way that Miles and Kenny did on stage together for so many years.   

Dutch fusion guitarist Rients Draaisma follows, with what is simply a remarkable display of sound and virtuosity.  This powerful solo showcases why Rients for me is at the very pinnacle of progressive fusion anywhere, pushing the very limits of concept and execution.

Spain's fine multi-instramentalist Santi-Caballero is our second horn, showcasing his tenor playing here.  Santi-Caballero takes it out all over the place here, moving in and out of the mode as Miles and his great '80s tenor player Bob Berg did together.

French keyboard player Julien Apelien is the perfect choice to join the team, and brings a great electric keyboard solo and sound in the style of Miles' Adam Holtzman, using fourths to create tension and ambiguity.

Mirko's fine solo technique is featured after Julien, and he just kills it on this one with his slap bass technique.

Italy's Daniele Turani has the concluding guitar solo and in his playing you will again hear a  superb sense of structure and organization, along with his virtuoso playing.  Such a treat to have him joining this Miles tribute.

For Miles concludes with Vitek's beautiful searching trumpet solo, which showcases his deep understanding and appreciation for Miles, as well as a modern jazz conception that also includes weaving patterns in and out chromatically similar to the great trumpeter Woody Shaw.  What a finish to this special tribute For Miles.

Thanks as always for your time listening, for your comments and for your shares.

TRIP TIME (ft.Julien Apelian & Kosmee)

The great bass player Mirko Borach, aka Stringburner https://soundcloud.com/stringburner, sent his wonderful original piece called "Mysterious" to Julien Apelian https://soundcloud.com/jules-keys-1 and me to see if we could add our touch and instruments to his warm singing bass sounds. It is a track that is reminiscent of several typical seventies and early eighties bands and sounds, ranging from, for example, a Black Sabbath type oriental riff, to more Return to Forever-like sounds, to even a hint of the Doors in some of Julien's playing. We had great fun working together again, arranging parts and adding solos and the wonderful mixing and post production by Julien tops this collaboration off!

We hope you'll enjoy this fusion of styles and our playing on Mirko's original called ...Mysterious...

Mysterious | by Mirko Borach, with Julien Apelian on keys & Dan van den Berg on guitar

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

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

Redemption is an original track set up by Mirko Borach soundcloud.com/stringburner. In Mirko's words: "The title Redemption aims to signify the balance between the human soul and nature in a spiritual way of life far away from the hustle and bustle and the drab monotony of everyday life.".

This track brings to mind the glorious days of seventies fusion with bands like Return to Forever, the Mahavishnu Orchestra, and Weather Report. Mirko, aka Stringburner, sent us the outline of this track with some splendid bass work and percussion. 

Dan van den Berg soundcloud.com/danarchx on acoustic guitar, Jamie Rhind soundcloud.com/jamie-rhind on synthesizer & Julien Apelian soundcloud.com/jules-keys-1 on piano and keyboards joined in on Mirko's request to really make this a virtual band effort where each player is featured. We are very proud of the result.

We had a great time pulling this together and hope you now will too. The photo of the beautiful waterfall was taken in Costa Rica by Jamie. As always we really appreciate your comments, likes and shares!

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!"

Mirko's message:
After the success of our track "Parallel Worlds" i was thinking of another piece that would contain some different styles of music. 
The title “Distant Mirrors” should explain the different parts and musical styles in this track. 
There are a few parts and changes in there and it’s not coming back to an earlier played theme. 
After laying down my bassparts I was seaching for musicians who would be able to put that plan into action. 
So what’s better to ask A man called Martin, Julien Apelian and Dan van den Berg again? 
Think they all exceeded my expectations again with some wonderful ideas and arrangements.
Thanks again for this beautiful piece of music!

We had great fun on this spectacular piece by Mirko. As always we thank you for your generous time listening, giving comments, likes and sharing!

Here's an original reggae tune brought to life by three very fine musicians, Alpha Roots on guitar, Julien Apelian on keyboards and piano and Ian Greaves on vocals.  Alphio is so deeply rooted in serious reggae, and brought his great understanding and love to his riddim guitar work.  Julien as always has contributed sweet playing and ideas with two keyboard tracks and also the two fine synth solos.  And Milwaukee's Ian Greaves's sweet lyrics and vocals tell the story.    

Love how these guys each contribute to the overall sound and conception.   
Check out their extensive galleries here on SC:

This track has quite a (hi)story:

over one year ago it was planned as a collab of me & Rik (aka https://soundcloud.com/soulmetricsystem )from Eindhoven, Netherlands. Rik send me a great hook line on rhodes, sweet section horns & some additional rhythms and I developed a basic composition out of his fine material. The track had been never released.

Recently, I listened again to it and then asked Rik to overwork it & invite another fine musician to improve the second half of the tune:
must have been Julien Apelian ( https://soundcloud.com/jules-keys-1 ) from Lyon, France for me - and he gladly joined with enthusiasm!
Julien is an extraordinaire french keysman & producer of a superb range of music - always professional and unselfish in his gorgeous collab works. We've teamed up a few times on his works, now it was about time to do that on a work of mine. His rhodes solo and the following outro synth solo are most pleasing for my ears - hope you'll give him full applause as well :-)

Without Rik & Julien, this piece would never have been released - so please give them your appreciation by listening to their fantastic music as well.
Thank you both, my friends!

If you enjoy our "Windows Upon", please comment, like, repost, dance, shout, share your pleasure with us & your friends. We love that!

Lyrics:

Saw you had called me from your cell phone
I know you're trying to get your rap on 
But I ain't got no time for all that junk you got to say
So I just pressed ignore and was on my merry way

Living down down down down low
But talking high high high up on a shelf
Well I don't need need need all dat
Cuz I can do do bad all by myself

Your life is so waited and so complicated
I done laid it all down now I'm emancipated
You want to me to pick it all up again
Well I can't do that cuz I'm trying to win

Living down down down low
But talking high high high up on a shelf
Well I don't need need need all dat
Because I can do do bad all by myself

You're so sophisticated 
And now emancipated
So demand respect
Don't let him treat you like a hopeless wreck

Living down down down down low
But talking high high high on a shelf
Well I don't need need need all dat
Because I can do do do bad all by myself

You say you done changed and now all is cool
Well I know you man don't take me for a fool
Cuz if I let you back into my heart
You ain't going to do nothing but tear it all apart

He say he don't changed and now all is cool
You know that man don't let him take you for a fool
Take you for a fool
Take you for a fool

Living down down down low
But talking high high high on a shelf
Well I don't need need all dat
Cuz I can do do bad all by myself

Guard your hearts girls cause he will he will he will
Tear it all apart tear it all apart tear it all apart
I know you I know you I know you man
Don't take me for a fool

His life is so waited and so complicated 
You done laid it all down now you're emancipated
You're so sophisticated so demand men respect 
Don't let him treat you like a hopeless wreck

But we ain't got no time for all that junk you got to say
So we just press ignore and was on our merry way

We saw you called us from your cell phone
We know you're trying to get your rap on
