Jungle Rave(n) - Radio edit

This was another beautiful project in which producer Morten Jeamland sent me the music and I sang the vocals. 

We share the love for nature and feel that it is a vital part of wellbeing. People can be very disconnected from nature these days, which is a worrying development. It is good to go back to the roots.  And protection of nature and all the living species should be at the forefront of any decision making in the world.

Whispering Forest

Whispering Forest - Remix by Jeamland & Heidi K

This track started off as a piano melody that Morten sent to me for some singing practice. I was really inspired by the melody and I wrote some lyrics very quickly and then sang them. Morten continued working on the backing track and I really fell in love with it even more. My aim is to re-record the vocals at some point with an upgraded mic.

Meet Me At The Heart Nebula - Jeamland & Heidi K

Morten made a string version of Meet Me At The Heart Nebula with a very different approach to the original. To me it has kind of a threatening urgency about it which fits with the state of this planet.  Returning back to the safety of the planet Earth after flying around in space. Question is - how long will it be safe? We wish for the music to make people reflect on the big issues.

Meet Me At The Heart Nebula - String version

Meet Me At The Heart Nebula - String Version - Jeamland & Heidi K

This song started by Morten sending me a snippet of a backing track named Snowflake, which I thought had a beautiful melody. After I had listened to it a few times, I sang a spontaneous chorus (the same chorus that is in this song) to my cat Lumi. I videoed this and you can see and hear Lumi singing with me (she often does that!) :) 

Months passed spent on other commitments and Morten sent me a really cool version of a backing track (this one) and I instantly thought I had to make some more lyrics to it. The lyrics came to me and I sang them as a draft version whilst waiting to finally purchase a decent condenser mic and an audio interface. The vocals in this version have been recorded with the upgraded equipment. I couldn't be happier with this investment! It feels like a game changer to me as I can now trust the equipment and get more out of the vocals. I am very grateful to Morten for all his guidance on anything to do with recording and equipment. 🙏

I was also very happy to hear Jörg was going to contribute with his wonderful, smooth saxophone play and it fits seamlessly into the song, enhancing it further!

Thank you for listening!

Another ode to Nature! I instantly loved the backing track Morten sent to me and it inspired me to sing in a slightly different way than previously. It did take me some time to match the lyrics to the melody, but once I got into it more, it started flowing better. And then Morten continued to develop the beautiful music on this and the wonderful effects on the vocals. 

Nature as a topic is the driving force in my own music and my collaborations and I truly appreciate all the people who can feel this and can be inspired by this. This has made me realise that there are a lot of likeminded people out there and it gives me hope :)

Northside Storyteller

Northside Storyteller - Jeamland & Heidi K

I appreciate all kinds of music and go largely by emotion and mood to select what I listen to. Deep melodic & progressive house soothes my soul and through listening to this genre a lot, I started putting some beats together myself! I enjoy the process very much and hopefully I am progressing by the track.

I love making a connection with nature, visual arts and music and often add nature sounds into my tracks. I also find myself listening to all the sounds in nature with a musical ear now.

I have connected with many talented and passionate musicians recently, many of whom also share similar connection with nature which I find so uplifting. It gives me hope for the humanity.
