Great stuff, Jörg! Wonderful atmosphere, great theme...

Jörg, what a joy in this one, love it! Great production as always. Everything is in the right place up to the tiniest detail. Love the transitions into the louder riffs using guitar sounds...

Grooving nice on this. Great keys my frioend!

It's digging in on second listen. Good work man!

Great concept and massive prog track, bravo! :)

May 2020 Discoveries.

Many people simply want to hear and enjoy some great new music without having to waste time searching for hours. These Musical Discoveries collections aim to fulfil those needs. At least, we hope so! :)

This playlist is a compilation of the favourite musical discoveries of the Wud Records team from everything they heard at SoundCloud during May 2020.

Tracks have been arranged according to the number of plays at the time of publishing, starting with the fewest. Tracks that are early in playlists tend to receive more plays than later tracks, and we feel that the ones with fewer plays need the best chance of exposure.

This playlist is extremely eclectic, so if the track you are playing isn't quite doing it for you, try the next one. It will probably be completely different.

If you enjoyed listening to something here, please give it a like and a repost. Follow the artist. Give them a shoutout on social media. Check out some of their other tracks. Buy something from them and your support will help them to keep going. Doing any of this will help raise their profile. At the very least you might make their day. :)

If you happen to be on this playlist, please share, and give us a shoutout on your social media feeds - because if we spot it, it gives us another opportunity to repost you and big you up. Please listen to as many tracks by the other great bands as you can, and... enjoy!

May 2020 Discoveries

Starts as atmospheric soundscape and morphs into something else. Composed and performed by Fimme Jan van der Wal and Wietze Krikke (a.k.a. Cinnamon Circle).

The Archean III (Lari e Lemuri - ft. Wietze Krikke)

Proudly presenting you this special collab song "You are not Him"
based on the fine soulful vocals of https://soundcloud.com/jimenaarroyo from Argentinia.
Jimena was so kind to make her dry vocal stems with lyrics available for everyone in an open collab (https://soundcloud.com/jimenaarroyo/sets/you-are-not-him-open-collab) with the aim to invite musicians all over SC to instrumentate & arrange a personal proper backing for her song.
I loved the idea and worked out a soulful groovy and in parts jazzy backing with some RnB flavour that supports Jimenas excellent lead vocals and background singing best for my ears.
Fortunately Jimena loved this version of her song as well, so she gave me the permission to upload it here on my page.

The other versions of this open project can be found here:
https://soundcloud.com/jimenaarroyo/sets/you-are-not-him-collabs
Please listen to them as well and decide for yourself what version you kike most. Which version evr is your fave, please give Jimena & all collaborists your appreciation by comments, likes, reposts...
or even by creating your own version :-)

We hope, you enjoy listening!

Lyrics "You Are Not Him" (by Jimena):

You have been so kind as to fill up my expectations
But you were weak, you let yourself be deceived by my retaliation
Against him, the man I could never forgive

For leaving me to pursue his dreams
Time has passed but I still die for his touch
I can’t help but silently scream, I’ve missed him so much
Now he has returned to me and I can’t let him go

I can’t see him in your eyes
I can’t feel him in your arms
I can’t taste him when my lips touch your mouth
I don’t even know who you are
But definitely you’re not him

Chorus:

You are not him and never will be
So thanks I wish you the best
You are not me so you will not understand
Fools like me really don’t want to learn

You have been a perfect resort to my imagination
But now, now, my dear, now I don’t need your infatuation
To fill in spaces, doubts within

It’s time to put an end to this game
No-one should be really to blame, things took a new twist
I’ve always told you he was my man, and yet you’d insist
Now he has returned to me and I won’t let him go

I can’t see him in your eyes
I can’t feel him in your arms
I can’t taste him when my lips touch your mouth
I don’t even know who you are
But definitely you’re not him

Chorus:
You are not him and never will be
So thanks I wish you the best
You are not me so you will not understand
Fools like me can’t be taught to behave

(Solo)

(Now he has returned to me - I cannot let him go)

I can’t see him in your eyes
I can’t feel him in your arms
I can’t taste him when my lips touch your mouth
I don’t even know who you are
But definitely you’re not him

Chorus:
You are not him and never will be
So thanks I wish you the best
You are not me so you will not understand
Fools like me really don’t want to learn

You are not him and never will be
So thanks I wish you the best
You are not me so you will not understand
Fools like me can’t be taught to behave

You are not him - Jimena feat. Calaminus

Jimenas Music

Jimena - You Are Not Him - Calaminus Version

Celebrating the live of Jaco Pastorius with some fine musicians and SoundCloud friends.
Jaco Pastorius was one of the best bassplayers who ever walked on earth and always a big influence for me and my playing. 
In the early seventies he lifted the definition of bassguitar into complete new dimensions.
Died far too young in 1987 it was time to celebrate him and his life with one of his greatest compositions called Teen Town.
It first appears on the 1977 Weather Report album "Heavy Weather" and has become an alltime Jazzrock classic.

This jam contains solo contributions by the following artists:
Audric Jankauskas (United States) @audric-jankauskas 
Jamie Rhind (United States) @jamie-rhind  
Stephan "Pinner" Lipinski (United States) @pinner
Johan Rignér (Sweden) @johan-rigner 
Daniel van den Berg (The Netherlands) @DanArchX
Simon Reich (Australia) @simon-reich
Daniele Turani (Italy) @DanieleTurani
Calaminus (Germany) @Calaminus

Mixed & produced by Calaminus, October 2016

Arranged by Mirko Borach @stringburner

Teen Town Jam (Jaco Pastorius)

Peace on Earth and Happy Holidays to all

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

Joy To The World

You know that I'm a Jazz fan. The aesthetics of Jazz are based on a freedom of expression, intellectually and emotionally for me.
There is no right or wrong - there is only the here and now...

The excitement of its musical transfer always got me in various ways, so this track is about that:
I love "Dschäss" (phonetically spoken) - and that's to confess ;-)

I often mixed diverse genres/styles with jazzy spirits & funky grooves,
but I never drifted into Country Rock before. Now I did :-)

Hope you'll feel free and spirited through this tune. 
All "confessions" of yours are highly appreciated...

And now let's dschäss :-)

Dschäss

Dschäss (And That's to Confess)

Getting together with the ever funky Jorg Calaminus on some world fusion.  Jorg is one of my all-time favorites here on SoundCloud, a fellow keyboard player, composer and guitarist, who has created many of the funkiest compositions I've heard here,   He's a deep listener too, and writes some of the most insightful comments to music here on SC.  Jorg has done his sweet thing here, adding so many  ideas - sounds and rhythms while also helping shape the entire tune to where we are.  If you are not familiar with the huge volume of deep music, check out his galleries: : https://soundcloud.com/calaminus and https://soundcloud.com/quipmusic
You gotta follow Jorg Calaminus for both his new music, as well as for the shares that he forwards - which follow his funky world sensibilities. 

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

Spirited - with Calaminus / keyboards and guitar

Some weeks ago I've recorded my piece "Diving Into Clouds" as part of the 4-chord challenge from the Piano Soundboard (@the-piano-cloud).
https://soundcloud.com/tunesma/diving-into-clouds
At this time it was created with a quite minimalistic arrangement to still qualify as a piano piece.
I sent it now to Jörg (@calaminus-music) and asked him for a collaboration to create a much more elaborated arrangement and he did an amazing job, using parts of the audio and MIDI files I've given to him. He has created a stunning whole new arrangement of the piece with a more than clever integration of my main piano and synth parts, showing once again his great skills in composing/arranging and his fantastic performances at the keys and guitar don't stand behind.

Hope you enjoy it. Jörg kindly allowed me to put this version on my cloud as well, the credits have to go mostly to him for this work.

Original composition, piano, synth: Matthias Andrä
Rearrangement, mix: Jörg Calaminus (@calaminus-music)

Recorded in March/April 2017

You Can't Call My Name

Well, this track is all about (dis)covering myself.

While I was jamming over the main theme of my track "June Tune", 
I thought: "Hey, why not doing a new tune based on this theme?!"
So I took the theme and gave it some new surroundings - and covered myself for the first time.
But it even took me further...

There are four more references to other jazzy tracks for you to discover. Maybe you get them all :-)
I'll give them credits in the end of this description, so you can check if you're right with your ears...

Have fun(k)
 :-)))

Discover Yourself

There's a video of me playing Circles now! Check it out! https://youtu.be/9_z5Tm5hU_E
Circles
A song title that hints both on the circular riffs and spinning melodies I play here, however mostly about me coming full circle to the first guitar music I heard during my youth and which made me want to pick up and play a guitar. This one goes out to my earliest influences, sometimes I didn't even know their names as a kid: Trevor Rabin (Yes), Steve Lukather, Eddie van Halen, and later Joe Satriani and Steve Vai. This is circles…

I hope you will enjoy this one and as always I really appreciate your likes, shares and comments.

Best,

* For DIY musicians:

Looking to grow your fanbase? Here's a proven strategy for success. It's a bit time-consuming at first because you need to work at it often. However, the awesome results will make it worth your while:

http://www.wudrecords.co.uk/miscellaneous/be-discovered-on-social-media

That article was published in March 2017. While some of the links may no longer work, the theory absolutely will. Try it for yourself!

* Unfortunately...

Due to brexshit, broken britain, rip-off britain, corruption, lies and bias in the media, bigotry, racism, intolerance, polarisation, the fact that some of our family members would not be allowed to remain post-brexit, state-sponsored child trafficking (yes, that's right, we said it - it's pretty shocking, start reading from here if you don't believe it: https://forced-adoption.com/), an increasing sense of frustration and exasperation, and general total weariness of being treated with nothing but derision, ignorance and contempt by the entire shebang since the early 80s, we decided enough was enough and moved our entire operation from brexeter in the uk to begin our grand brexodus in 2017. We are now brefugees, living in brexile very near the border of the Czech Republic, Austria and Germany. If you live in (the crumbling remains of) the uk, do yourself a favour and leave. The upgrade in life quality will blow your mind.

* What do we stand for as a label?

We support all independent musicians who are doing something we find interesting. Our team members all have formal music education qualifications.

We are against corporate brainwash muzak, their puppet friends in the mass media, and many other corporate activities. We will fight their desecration of music until either it stops or we die. 

We believe in helping others in the face of corrupt laws and a broken system. We are pro democracy, green energy and free speech.

We're politically liberal. We cannot support the republicans, maga or gun violence in the usa. We don't see there's any real difference, other than in name, between the christian far right in the USA and the taliban in Afghanistan.

In the uk we are broadly pro LibDem/Green/Labour/SNP. We are VERY anti-tory, bnp, ukip, and any of their friends and associates. We have no trust at all in the uk right wing press monopoly and the bbc. Beware the bbc and its claims of neutrality. It is the propaganda mouthpiece of the tory party. It even charges a propaganda tax called the licence fee. But we like Test Match Special and Radio 6, so does that make us hypocrites...? Hmm.

We support independence for Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Cornwall. We support the individual and the underdog. We are anti-putin and his war, and pro-Ukraine.

Please notice the careful use of capitals. Capital letters imply respect!

We're only interested in the colour of your soul. Not your skin, hair or socks.

We like cricket! Most of us support Somerset County Cricket Club.

This is the extensional music side project of http://soundcloud.com/calaminus .
Quipmusic stands for (instrumental) multi-genre music made to go beyond the common listeners experiences & genres, evolving some unaspected musical relations & thoughtful inner harmony of contraries.
While the http://soundcloud.com/calaminus - project was intended to focus the groove-accentuated music like Funk, Jazz & Fusion,
the Quipmusic - project will concentrate  on everything that may be beyond...
And exactly that stuff is going to be released here (instead of all ideas & every "experimental" tune merged at the Calaminus profile under one "label").
This profile will also be a kind of "archive" for those original Calaminus tracks which are going beyond or combining genres & different influences.

So, if you like it groovy & funky - go for  http://soundcloud.com/calaminus
and if you want to go beyond - http://soundcloud.com/quipmusic  is your place :-)

Comments, likes, reposts & constructive critics are mostly welcome and really appreciated!
And now: let's start the journey :-)
