me2u I ask people I know, directly or indirectly, who live in North and South America or Europe, to give me a song based on a theme. When giving me the song they also tell me information about why they chose that song, where they are from and where they live now. These songs are included on a mixed CD in an edition of 100 and are given to people who live in the opposite part of the world from where I got the songs. (The European version goes to the Americas and vice versa.) This is an exchange which includes people I know (and sometimes people I don’t know) from here to there and there to here, and the music they like. This is part of an on-going collaborative music exchange project between Europe and the Americas that I have been doing since 2006. The album titles for the project so far have been: My favorite song. #1 Erledigt - European version and #2 Airmail - American version. I have a friend in a band. #3 Vertraulich - European version and #4 Confidential - American version. My favorite cover song. #5 Nochmal - European version and the American version #6 Again - is in the works and will be out by the end of the summer. If you would like to participate (which means you get a copy of both versions for that topic), please contact me: a@aprilgertler.com |
