Great collaboration....voice and synths work beautifully.

subtle and complex---love all the moving parts!!

'new wave' with poetry and folk influences (fiddle) - has both old world charm but modern influences (synths)

beautiful, that synth riff is really good!

Collaborations

A collaboration a long time in waiting. My friend embedded my words deep within his rich reality long, long ago. Now it has made it here.

With the utmost appreciation for taking my words to the music you enveloped them in, I thank you my dear friend.

Find him here and you are sure to stay a while.

Inescapable Mind with music by Quarkstrangenesscharm

Thank you to everyone who listened to this track at the beginning of the new year.
People are surrounded by happiness.
Everything is made with a smile.
The energy of laughter, the vibration of a laughing voice, the world begins to fill with smiles.
Nice, I imagined your smile and played the guitar.

Smile is like that of an Angel's

First time to work with Tea R. Sea with just the two of us, and it turned out great.     He wrote this one and I added the guitar.  I'm very much looking forward to working together again!

Watered Down

Watered Down - with Tea R. Sea

Sometimes with humans, when things get tough you might feel like nothing will get you out of the darkness. A little reminder here (including to myself) to keep the light inside of you shining as you have a place in this world. No one can ever undermine that. 

In this collaboration we exchanged ideas back and forth and I absolutely loved the backing track Morten sent me! So I came up with some lyrics and sang them pretty spontaneously.

Keep The Light Inside - Remix by Jeamland & Heidi K

A third in a trio of songs between me and Steve’s Planet…asked Josh along for the fun…sent it to Tez for an outstanding mix!
Steve is belting it out and playing all guitars. Josh plays bass,organ and piano and sings high harmony, I, of course played drums and percussion and sang low harmony… hope you dig a swampy blues!

First of all, I want to thank the wonderful SinTaMental (https://soundcloud.com/sintamental), who kindly  recorded the words 23 October 2015 (and made some corrections on the way).

Basic recording (bassguitar and sampler) was done somewhere in 2004, overdubs (guitar, synthesizer)were done 20 October 2015. Words were written on 30 July 2015.

Photograph by my brother  Oscar. I'd like to dedicate this song to him.

The sun was hot  blazing in a blue autumn sky
We strolled the green hills and fields 
Without a care in the world
Like we did in younger days that were full of promise
Days that never seemed to end
We caught the colours of the falling leaves
Thinking this might go on forever
Thinking life might go on forever

Under shadows of trees
The river was so cool and inviting
its water clear and full of strength 
Running forever and ever
We saw flights of birds
And smelled the sweet scents of decay
But we didn’t catch the colours of the fallen leaves
imagining this might go on forever
imagining life might go on forever

Anexa (https://soundcloud.com/annnnushka) came with the idea of adding vocals to an existing instrumental, "De lange leegte" (https://soundcloud.com/quarkstrangesscharm/de-lange-leegte)... I think you'll agree that she did a wonderful job! For words she chose a poem by Russian poetess Anna Akhmatova, again an excellent choice!

Anexa is a great pleasure to work with, please check her out!https://soundcloud.com/annnnushka.

vocals: Anexa
words: Anna Akhmatova

"I’ve ceased to smile long ago …" 

I’ve ceased to smile long ago,
The bitter winds now chill my lips,
Another hope was just let go,
Another song was added since.

Against my will, I’ll cede this song
To people’s laughter and offense,
Because love’s silence for the soul
Is too unbearably immense.

I've ceased to smile long ago- Anexa with quarkstrangenesscharm

Frostlake wrote words and vocal melodies for "Under a blue moon".
 I think she did a wonderful job, adding beautiful words and vocals and harmonies, creating a moody and sometimes haunting track. 
A very big thank you Jan, for this collaboration, for all your work and for your input...you gave this track a new life!

Please check out Frostlake (https://soundcloud.com/frostlake) for a very special mix of British psychedelics, folk and electronics. Frostlake is also a core member of Orchestra Of The Upper Atmosphere (www.discus-music.co.uk), that has been described as 'an improvising cosmic rock beast'.

Recorded september 2015 (backing tracks) and April-May 2017 (vocal tracks).

and artwork.
quarkstrangenesscharm: synthesizers, electric and acoustic/electric bass, guitar and e-bow.

Under A Blue Moon
A lonely moon hangs among the darkest blue, for you and I share the same view high above from our different worlds but on the same earth. I am here, you are there, we breathe the same air yet I'm alone and I think of you, do you think of me under these stars, under this blue, under this rising moon?
(Frost hangs in the shadows bruised by a blue moon)

How the night came (@howthenightcame) came up with the idea of making an album on Roman mythology (Ovid's great book Metamorphoses) and invited other artists to participate in the project. 
The results are very nice I think: 21 tracks based on his favourite stories, while collaborating with lovely artists like Hypoid (@hypoidsound, www.youtube.com/channel/UCc_iQ5JFusPt9EIwKIZ5rew) and Daniel Diaz (dedeland.com, @daniel-diaz) amongst others.

“Ovid stares at The Black Sea (Niobes return)” was the track I was asked to collaborate on. The story is about a woman who turns to stone: (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niobe)
The basic tracks and final mix are How the night came’s. Thanks Martin, for your confidence and all your work!

Here you can listen to (or download) The Ovid album: howthenightcame.bandcamp.com/album/metamorphoses with an accompanying PDF which gives you some information about the project.
