In the " In 2 takes Voor" I improvised on a "first take impro" and played an other impro on top.
These recordings are the one's with the musicians who I dedicated the "In 2 Takes" to.
They did a remarkable job: It's not easy to play and ad something  to these "free fantasy's" ! Great work ! We hope you enjoy !

Improvision #159

01 - 11 - 23

This is the first collaboration with James-Lee (aka Irunak), created mainly with synthesizers and some sound processing. The experiment started with my tune 'Ding an sich' (this time with guitar just as an accompaniment). James-Lee created the augmented passages in five segments with mysterious voices and archaic sounding instruments on and between this template. All together made the whole thing to a magical brew and unexpected journey for both of us.

It Takes 2 @ Wilhelm Matthies

This is the response of Catherine Inta ! Catherine made this beautiful poem/lyrics and performed it fantastic !. I really loved it immediately  ! 
Catherine made two versions: One with only voice(& sounds) and one with additional instruments.  I put them together as one because I/ we could not decide what was the best: As the project is called:  " It takes 2"  the two versions fit perfectly together I thought  !!
We hope you enjoy this collaboration !

Wim & Catherine

The Lyrics by Catherine is:

Comme je dis exactement.
Comme je dis juste un silence parfois suffit ou je me mens
il y a dans la prudence une forme d'élégance
J'évite et je me dis qu'au dessus des mots des éclats de voix, je me vois.
Comme je dis exactement
Comme je dis juste un silence parfois suffit ou je me mens
ou je me mens
ou je me mens.

as I say exactly.
As I say
just a silence sometimes enough or I'm lying
there is in prudence a form of elegance
I avoid and I say to myself that above the words of the bursts of voice, I see myself
as I say exactly
as I say just a silence sometimes enough or I lie
or I'm lying
or I'm lying

It Takes 2 @ Catherine Inta

In memoriam of a friend, I decided to record this beautiful, simple (but not that simple !) arangement for classical guitar by Peter Gerrits.
Happy Holidays, My dear friends !

TIMES IN PRESENCE.
It's a cooperation with:

Johannes Heinen (Keyboards) .





A few months after we met first in 1996 , we started recording our absolutely free improvised music-sessions. There was no concept, subject or any arrangement. When we listened to these recordings again years later, we were surprised at its stunning qualities. The intimate character of the sessions, the intensity of the musical presence of mind and the audible open and animate interexchange of thoughts and feelings made them sound like fascinating and fully developed compositions, which we want to share with you on soundcloud. The result is a document of a long lasting musical friendship, played live, without dubs, improvisation pure : TIMES IN PRESENCE
