nettle seeds (copyright Jo Richter)

he got locked out of her garden
before this springtime's floral bloom
as he saw her soft glance harden
saw different patterns on her loom

he found some fallow, barren wasteland
on a hill of thistles, nettles
to cultivate defiant plants and
to get scarred by willful brambles

go feed on nettle seed
thistle oil and fibre weed
there is nothing else you need
nutrient rich and bittersweet

haggard, thin and somewhat healthy
his medicine was on demand
to overcome fatigue and palsy
when there is nothing left to want

go feed on nettle seed
thistle oil and fibre weed
there is nothing else you need
nutrient rich and bittersweet

sonic structures and silent stretches and well   -   nettle seed

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– master and production

This song started as a project that was begun on his guitar and synth, then shelved by our master songwriter, Chris. He always gives us magic to work with, and as soon as he shared this one with the rest of Eclectic Collective, we all jumped on it.

Mark heard his part first, and set about writing some great lyrics to sing with his solid, inimitable voice. His lyrics are about a hypothetical future where we've turned to technology in search of human connection, only to realize that it has only isolated us more, and that we really already had that connection to begin with. The narration is from a future perspective, like all this has already happened, and its speaking to us from the future, almost like a warning.
The rhythm section was still absent, though, but not for long. Ken added his groovy, perfectly in the vibe drums to it next. Josh, of course followed soon after, now that he had drums to work with, by adding his fretless four string bass to the song. Now that it was sounding like a well rounded piece, Tez came through with some thrilling guitar solos that you hear throughout. JJ first added some piano, B3, and sax to the song, then later completed it with his psychedelic synth and divine voice synth that provides the "choir" you hear in there.

Now that it was all in the bag, Mark spent considerable time and effort mixing it, then turned it over to our resident pro Stephen for the mastering.

This is one of our favorite songs we've ever done, and it reminds us all of both Pink Floyd and King Crimson. This is a great example of what the team is able to do with a really solid, yet open musical seed, provided by a master composer. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it.

Original lyrics by Mistermark:
The wind by the seashore, the wash of the waves

the sand on your skin and the glance that you gave

the sounds of the carnival we left it all behind

there were words left unsaid at the back of your mind

how could I have been so blind?

It was so long ago now it’s just you and me

it seems I've forgotten the way you like your tea

the house becomes quiet as the guests head for home

the garden’s been gathered and the kids are all grown

on their own

“The robots will help” they said “it’s better this way”
“there’s no need to work and there’s more time to play”

our leaders assured us we’d never go poor

and nobody questions the truth anymore

but what did we do it all for?

Our science sustains us like fine works of art

but are we closer together or farther apart?

we’re each on an island alone on the sea

the ocean between us expands rapidly

is this where we wanted to be?

It was so long ago now it’s just you and me

it seems we’ve forgotten the way it used to be

machines tried to help us but something went wrong

the future we wanted was here all along

The wind by the seashore, the wash of the waves

the sand on your skin and the glance that you gave

the sounds of the carnival we left it all behind

there were words left unsaid…

“This space between French and English is, for me, a perpetual torment…”

Philosopher Alain Badiou reflects on Beckett — and on the strange torment of thinking and speaking across languages.

In this halF unusuaL piece, his voice becomes a sonic poem: shattered, dissolved, and reassembled through GRM Tools Atelier.

A tribute to Musique Concrète, to the friction of thought and sound, and to an uncertain space between sameness and otherness.

— created in GRM Tools Atelier

More experiments in sound, language, and philosophy coming soon.

HOW LIGHT TRAVELS THROUGH WATER

Halloween is such a popular holiday because it lets people escape everyday life and express their creativity through costumes, decorations, and fun. It’s a time when fear and joy blend together as we play with ghosts, monsters, and mysterious stories. Moreover, trick-or-treating and parties help strengthen social bonds and create a sense of community.  

Halloween jest lubianym świętem, ponieważ pozwala ludziom na chwilę oderwać się od codzienności i wyrazić swoją kreatywność poprzez kostiumy, dekoracje i zabawę. To czas, kiedy można bezkarnie połączyć strach z radością, bawiąc się w duchy, potwory i tajemnicze historie. Dodatkowo, wspólne zbieranie cukierków i organizowanie imprez sprzyja budowaniu więzi społecznych i poczuciu wspólnoty.  

Halloween es una fiesta muy querida porque permite a las personas desconectarse de la rutina diaria y expresar su creatividad a través de disfraces, decoraciones y diversión. Es un momento en el que el miedo y la alegría se mezclan al jugar con fantasmas, monstruos e historias misteriosas. Además, pedir dulces y organizar fiestas fortalece los lazos sociales y crea un sentido de comunidad.
