I downloaded LOU Caconym, a very nice ambient track by Andy (AKA Synkrotron), and expanded on it with his kind permission.
It's 6:26 min - I didn't have time do the whole 14 minutes.
I added three tracks, all Omnisphere 2.

Thanks for listening.

Hi Bjorn,
 
Listening now...
 
Your additions change the outlook of the piece and give it a slightly lighter "complexion"
 
I thank you for taking the time to play with my original piece
 
Perhaps when you have more time we could work on a much longer piece?
 
cheers

Hi Andy
Thanks
I tried two, maybe three different moods on my contribution, from somber to more upbeat. Also,  I tried not to step all over your track but I think I did in a few places.
 
I have to admit I was using the wrong tempo on this project so I had some sync issues.  I'll have to redo it when I get the time. Sorry 'bout that.

I think I can pick out the additions to the track. I like the result.
 
Regards,
Dan
 

Nice difference Bjorn.

Very interesting.  You guys work well together.  I did notice that one of you said "we should work on a longer tune", somewhere there.  This is almost 7 minutes.  That is the difference between younger electronica guys and older blues/rock/alt guys like me.  ATTENTION SPAN!!!    I do look forward to hearing more.  hey, Andy, did you send a track to me (that I asked for) about a year ago?  I found one here and it sounds good.  Let me know.  Nice work on this tune by both of you.

Hi Warren, yeah, I remember that, and I feel just a touch embarrassed about it. You sent me a vocal idea, which was great, but I couldn't take the whole idea any further. I agree, it sounded pretty good, and even rocky, compared to what I normally do. Not even sure I could call it writers block... I just ground to a halt and then went of on a massive tangent...
 
I have been back into the project a couple of times to see if I can carry it on, but to no avail.
 
If that ever changes, I will be back in touch, for sure
 
cheers

Hi Bjorn,
 
I am really happy with your latest version of this. I would go so far to say that it is better than the original
 
If anyone else is interested on what Bjorn has done with my original piece, here's the link:-

Very cool Bjorn/Andy

Yeah..   that works!    In my mind, a good collaboration doesn't necessarily sound like separate, distinct pieces, and this sounds like it goes together.
