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 !

It Takes 2

It Takes 2 @ Vasco Morais

This is the response I got from Wilhelm ! He used the mosesa 9, a bass version.

We hope you enjoy !

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

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
