Hear some lucky collabs with some gifted people…
The original story of that:
There was a contest asking for collaboration.
So I asked Ixox for that – as I respect him as a great chansonmusic-writer.
Gracefully he accepted the collabo and wrote the whole song. 🙂
So this is the line-up:
Ixox: Composition;
Guitare, Flute, Piano, Cello, Vox;
Mona: Vox;
Thomekk: Lyrics, SteelGit-Emu, Harmonika, small vocals & piano & guitar
Here’s a great little dirty Rockn’Roll Song composed by Willy West.
I only assisted with some monster vocals and lowfi-bridge vocals here, PopMaster Oddbod did the lead voxies.
‘t was done December 2006 for a cool KVR-contest…
Be warned:
This one is slow, countrylike and kitsch!
Best would have been if Johnny Cash would have sung it, but… hm, me sang 😉
The best of all: I got a little big help from my friends S.Hush and Watto! Thanks so much, guys for the lovely additions
So I’m lucky to announce that this is the first 3continent-collab I have been part of (Europe, America, Australia)!!
Tired
thomekk: vocals, acoustic guitar
S.Hush: backing vocals, tremolo guitar, flute, strings
Watto: Piano, Rhodes
Yes, it’s true! “No more fighting” by Thomekk & Mona made it to Neil Young’s “Living with war” antiwar-protestsongs charts. This song was downloaded about 1130 times since the middle of 2006, which makes me really really proud 😉

Download “No more fighting”
This was my entry for the k-v-r contest (theme: “fight”)
Mona’s on the vocals.
No more fighting It’s folky and non-electronical
EDIT: Here’s a remix of da song reggae-stylish by Thomas Mahler (Login required!)

This is a online-collab I did together with the great singer Simon Watson (“Watto”) from Brisbane, Australia. I’m more than happy with the result 😉
“Seen was originally composed by Thomekk as a dark, brooding instrumental piece. Watto, after being asked to sing on it, was inspired to add a few things, take a few things away, add a few more things…and a collaboration was born.” (Watto)

“This is one of this year’s highlights!”

“I can hear the Radiohead influence and the Gorillaz influence and of course the thomekk influence. It’s a great track and I personally think that adding big booming drums to it would make it sound perhaps too much like some of the aforementioned acts, although it would make it a bit more commercial. I for one would pay money for this though, it’s haunting and different.”
