Such a beautiful track and melody, Antonio.

Great composition and beautifully played.

My mind is waltzing over this. Thanks for sharing.

Frank did the tune, I played a little flute and bass clarinet.

Here is a collaboration I did with Axel Menningen, who is a wonderful orchestrator. It's been a privilege to work with him and see how he brought this simple, but lovely, old folk song to life with beautiful "highland" style orchestration.

Lyrics:
The ash grove, how graceful, how plainly 'tis speaking
The harp through it playing has language for me
When over its branches the sunlight is breaking
A host of kind faces is gazing on me
The friends of my childhood again are before me
Each step wakes a memory as freely I roam
With soft whispers laden the leaves rustle o'er me
The ash grove, the ash grove again is my home
 
Down yonder green valley where streamlets meander
When twilight is fading I pensively rove
Or at the bright noontide in solitude wander
Amid the dark shades of the lonely ash grove
'Twas there while the blackbird was cheerfully singing
I first met that dear one, the joy of my heart
Around us for gladness the bluebells were ringing
But then little thought I how soon we should part

My lips smile no more, my heart loses its lightness
No dream of the future my spirit can cheer
I only can brood on the past and its brightness
The dear ones I long for again gather here
From ev'ry dark nook they press forward to meet me
I lift up my eyes to the broad leafy dome
And others are there, looking downward to greet me
The ash grove, the ash grove again is my home

Ash Grove (feat. Axel Menningen)

“Eternal Drift” - An Invitation to Embrace Life


In one seamless take—as I’ve gotten you used to—this waltz invites you into a world where dreams unfold with each note, carrying whispers of hope and resilience. Created on a theme I composed just days ago, Eternal Drift lets you dance through life—alive, unafraid, and all in—yet grounded in a quiet, enduring sanity. Each sweeping melody celebrates the thrill of living fully, free from regret. It’s a moment to surrender to the beauty of the present, a delicate balance of heart and mind, where possibilities blossom.

Let yourself drift, yet stay rooted in a world where dreams can bloom into reality.

Eternal Drift

This song began its life all the way over in on the other side of the pond, where our frequent collaborator, Artur wrote it on his electric guitar. Being a fan of surf music, he composed this awesome piece with The Eclectic Collective in mind. He shared it with the group through Tez, who was first to respond to Artur's guitar with his own, creating a psychedelic base of sound for the rest of us to add to. 
  Ken was up next, laying down his always exciting drums and percussion. Josh, of course, followed straight behind him, now that he had a beat to play to. JJ came soon after, laying in his ethereal organ and dancing electric piano. Last, but not least, Stephen laid in a really trippy acoustic arpeggio based acoustic guitar part to kick it to the next level.
  Of course, every great song needs a great producer. But before we even started the song beyond what Artur and Tez laid down at the beginning, Mark deftly separated Artur's basic beat from the music. Amazing what technology can do these days! For rest of the production, we tapped the very talented Tez to do the honors, which he did perfectly.
  This song marks about half a dozen we've done with Artur. We're all big fans of his unique surf rock sound, and jump at the chance to collaborate with him. If you like what we've done here, you should check out his page, as it's loaded with gems in the same strain. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.
