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
