You are always listening to your musical partners and this allows you this great creativity for some of your texts .... I salute here the participation of my Friend David.

A majestic performance Anne and David! Quality work.

bravissima! fantastic voice and superb music in your account

I heard this one on David's cloud...and I fell madly in love with this seemingly simple but so intense composition. Deeply touched by your art, guys

Honored to collaborate with gifted vocal and keyboard artist Annie Smart

Collaboration work, a new version of this track with a talented guitar player and composer Neno J.

In Solitude by Syntaleta/Collab version (Feat. Neno J. on electric guitars)

I had the very good fortune to connect with Andy H aka “Noobly” a few months ago over music that we mutually admired and we agreed to find a future opportunity to collaborate. This is the result. Noobly’s beautifully rich track, propelled by his soaring guitar work, felt like a kind of call to prayer to my ear. I tried to echo this somewhat in singing the bridge. Lyrically, just for kicks I used the Socratic Method to construct the verses (persuasion through Q&A) so that this song’s meaning becomes self-evident and hopefully more of a personal experience for each listener. Thanks for checking it out!

Prideful Pride

Do you remember the day when pride took you for its own
When a thief stole something precious in you

Do you remember the day when pride took you for its own
When a thief stole something precious in you
Did it happen when all of your friends cut you out
Was your heart set on winning something, but you lost instead
And when you were maimed did the anger in you surge
Can you mark the moment when you became someone else
Is your truth under layers of scar and combat
Are you the new thief, looting joy from everywhere

Prideful pride keeps piling on, on, on
Building your walls, can’t go wrong, wrong, wrong
Finding it hard to get along, along, along
Your pride is killing you, long before you’re gone, gone, gone

And in the end you’ll be left with nothing
A bright light that’s gone too dim
I have been in a prison of my own before, just like you
Until I let the facade fall
And was set free, free

Are things more difficult now that you are going it alone
And do you leave enough room for both your sadness and your anger
Does that wall keep scary things in, and the invaders out
Are you winning this imaginary war you think you’re fighting

Prideful pride keeps piling on, on, on
Building your walls, ’can’t go wrong, wrong, wrong
Finding it hard to get along, along, along
Your pride is killing you, long before you’re gone, gone, gone

Lonely traveler

An electronic/industrial piece, with some fusion elements. Out of my comfort zone here! Maybe it reflects the tempest of the times.

Cosmic Call

I started making this piece with the intention of it being a set of songs that could stand on their own as well as being an open collaboration, but then it took on a life of its own, and things just got out of hand from there, lol! 

But I still managed to control myself and didn’t add too many samples though, haha! 

I was listening to 1985 and 1986 hip hop singles when making this so….

You can download this for free as well as some of the unmixed stems on Bandcamp. The lyrics can also be found on Bandcamp since SC didn’t provide enough space in the song info. I reached my description limit!

Feel free to treat it as an open collaboration if you like. The song list, BPMs, and time signatures are listed below.

Put you in a tourniquet
Bleeding there’s no stopping it
Got a pimple 
I be popping it
Tripple nipple
Don’t be knocking it
I be chopping it off
Now blood is slopping  
I ain’t mopping 
You be dropping
When you slippin’ in it 
Finna sit and watch as I scoff
Maybe lickin’ ice cream soft serve, huh
What cha sayin’ I can only seem to catch ya gurgling brah
Nah, No one can hear you scream 
When you got a severe stream of
Foam bumbling, bubbling from your mouth, tumbling gravitationally south
Bro, i’m feeling bad for your health
See you reeling keeling over looking so sad 
had I know your noncongealinkg slow at healing
I might have

Tried to put you in a tourniquet
Tried to put you in a

Oh,oh,oh,oh this place is madness..
Oh, oh,oh,oh this place is gone away.
Oh,oh,oh,oh where is the magic?
And you won't see me leaving the light on by the door.
This world has now turned more than tragic.
This place is madness....Madness!

Spirits Are Dancing (2025) Remastered

on your mark

get ready to

cannonball

into the blue



after swimming

sparkle all around you

catch the sound

breakers breaking



stop the boat

get ready to

pick a spot

to slip into



after swimming

as the sunlight bakes you

summer sips

on a sand dune



after swimming

after swimming

come swimming

After Swimming

Cast of characters:
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick fretless four string bass, Collings mandolin, Rogue banjo, Roland electric piano, and composition
K2 and the Three [and the Four]-- @k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken — drums and percussion
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender Stratocaster electric guitar
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– Tom Anderson custom T model electric guitar, Taylor T5z acoustic guitar, production, mix, and mastering
This song began with Josh coming up with it on his electric piano and fretless bass, to which he added some banjo, then mandolin. Once he had a solid basis for the song, he shared it with the rest of Eclectic Collective for them to add their parts. 
  Ken was first up, adding his drums in an such a creative way that matched Josh's bassline perfectly. It was originally recorded to a looper disco beat, but that was blown out of the water by Ken's creative drumming. Tez jumped in next, adding his thrilling guitar to the second half of the song. Not to be outdone, Stephen batted clean up, adding his textural and melodic guitar to the first half. He also added some subtle, but brilliant acoustic guitar to the first half, too. 
  This is a great example of Eclectic Collective coming up with an original band sound out of one of Josh's seeds. We're always pushing boundaries and trying to find fun and exciting ways to build a song. Lots of teamwork in here, too, of course. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.

The Plot Thickens (Eclectic Collective)

There's a heat wave going on in Norway...  I made the music in GarageBand.  Maybe I add some vocal eventually.... :)
Thank you for listening!  🎧😊

Heat Wave (Instrumental-Original)

When I heard this beautiful piece by David I thought it would make a lovely song. I’m very grateful to him for letting me sing on this lovely piece. 🙂🎶
@david-dunhamuser589535203 for more lovely guitar compositions.

Little bird
Won’t you stay a while 
And help me sing

Little bird
Won’t you fly with me
And help me soar

Little birds
Won’t you sing with me
And help my soul

Little bird
Won’t you sing to me
I hear your voice
I hear your voice...

Pajarito (Little bird) by David Dunham & Annie Smart

When David sent me this gorgeous track with emotional back story I knew it would make a lovely song. The lyrics can be interpreted in many ways but I sing this for my late Father who passed away in 2013. He was a beautiful guitarist and would have enjoyed this song. @david-dunhamuser589535203 for more wonderful music! Thank you for this lovely song. 😊🎶

Lyrics

We can’t make promises 
That we can’t keep
Though me might try
Don’t say goodbye

We can pretend it’s all ok
Don’t say goodbye 

No breathing without you
No living without you 
No living without you here

Living for today
So much to say
Please don’t say goodbye 

And I’ll be here when you need me
No smiling without you
No breathing without you
No living without you

Living for today
So much to say 
Please don’t say goodbye....

DON’T SAY GOODBYE (by David Dunham and Annie Smart)

Proud to present my third collaboration with David! This lovely guitar track was calling out to me again to make it a song. Nice to add a little piano too. Thank you David. 😊🎶🎤🎸

@david-dunhamuser589535203 for more lovely tunes. 😊

I’d never run out of things to say
If we had one more day

Tell me your stories
Tell me your tales
For one more day
Tell you my worries
What’s on my mind
For one more day
Ooh

Never run out of words to say
If we had one more day

Tell me your stories
Tell me your fears
For one more day

Hold my hand oh
Talk with me...

Tell you my secrets
What’s on my mind
For one more day
For one more day
One more day...

For One More Day (By David Dunham featuring Annie Smart)

Was so wonderful for David to play on this composition after me singing on several of his lovely tunes. I did the singing after David added this lovely guitar part and it really helped me create the story. Thank you David for your time and talent! We hope you enjoy! 😊🎶🎹🎸
@david-dunhamuser589535203 for more lovely music.

Oldest tale in the book
The queen
She finds the king

And they dance ‘til the morning light
Oh they dance ‘til the sun says hello

They watch the stars start to fade
The moon fades away

Oldest story
The queen
She makes her move

And she smiles ‘til the sun says goodbye
And she smiles ‘til the morning light

They watch the stars start to glow
They watch the sun start to set

They dance all night
They dance all night

They watch the stars start to glow
They watch the sun start to set...

KINGS AND QUEENS (with David Dunham - lovely guitar)

So honored to collaborate again with the talented Annie Smart.  Annie had this tune in mind for me to add a guitar part. The challenge is to complement and not compete with her lovely keyboard voices while keeping in mind that vocals will be added as well.  After some experimentation with voicing and chord forms, this seemed the best way to go.  We both liked the result and thought it could stand on its own as an instrumental. It is meditative and gentle in its flow, a sweet track, at least we hope you think so:) To hear more of Annie's beautiful music, follow this link: @annie-smart-1

Kings And Queens Instrumental--Annie Smart, lovely keyboard; David Dunham, guitar

When I heard this gorgeous track by David I knew it would make a lovely song. His guitar playing is very lovely so it was a joy to sing this and add some piano here and there! We hope you enjoy our 5th collaboration. 
@david-dunhamuser589535203 for more wonderful music! Thanks for letting me sing and play again. 😊🎶🎸
