@r3np Thank you! Dan is such a wonderful player and singer it seems! 😊🎵

such an artful performance and arrangement by Dan...enriched by your own vocal presence...The guitars are so lively and masterfully rendered, and I really enjoyed the drum sounds in here...especially the gentle cymbal splashes....delightful vocal performances from both of you...and the backing sounds are deliciously passionate! :)

@nicklaslofstrand Thank you so much from Dan and I! lovely words. 😊

Y-The Last Shootist

P-Stop Loafing Around

Per concludere ho scambiato fra loro le parti iniziali della mano sinistra e della mano destra.

To conclude I swapped the initial parts of the left hand and the right hand.

Ho cambiato il titolo iniziale in:
"Toccata pantonale senza respiro"
da  "Toccata pantonale senza sosta".

I changed the original title to:
"Pantonal Toccata without breath"
from "Pantonal Toccata without pause".

Toccata pantonale senza sosta

"Toccata" pantonale senza respiro (Pantonal "Toccata" without breath)

Cast of Characters:

Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – (?) electric guitar
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Fender Precision Bass
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – synth and organ
The Beautiful Dark -- @thebeautifuldark -- Carl -- vocals and lyrics
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen — Tom Anderson Custom T model electric guitar, production, mix, and mastering

This song began at the end of last summer, August of '24, when Tez sat down and composed it on his guitar. He shared it with us right away, and while everyone jumped on it immediately, it sat on the shelf for so long because we all felt we needed a singer for it. Fast forward a year, and lo and behold, we picked up Carl, who is down for whatever vocals a song needs. 
 
 We began construction on this by creating the rhythm section. Ken first adding his explosive drums, followed by Josh completing the rhythm section with his four string, fretted bass, which he used a plectrum to play.  JJ entered the fray next, adding his otherworldly synth and thickening organ. 
 
 Then is sat. And sat. And sat some more, until Carl found us, or we found him, and he was finally able to add the missing puzzle piece. But before we put it to bed, Stephen added some thrilling solo work with his axe, too. 
 
 Now that it was a completed song, we asked Stephen to mix it, even though it's really Tez's song, and that honor would usually go to him. However Tez was experiencing some technical difficulty, so the honor went to Stephen, who did his always professional production work on it. 
  
This is a straight rocker from Eclectic Collective, being in all of our wheelhouses. This one was all made in house, too, so it's a great representation of our rocking skills as a band. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Timeless Floating In Space / by Paploviante / remix

Un grand merci à Lena pour cette fabuleuse interprétation, sa voix est à mon goût une des meilleures que j'ai pu entendre .. 
"Mathieu" est le héros du film "une place au soleil" de rené VAQUIER, j'avais utilisé à l'époque "vocalise" pour obtenir la voix que l'entend sur la musique originale, mais la voix de Lena apporte des émotions supplémentaires, une couleur différente, une sorte de magie .. pour reprendre les mots de mon ami Steph OUNA, c'est comme si il y avait un instrument supplémentaire !!! 

Cette version a été faite le 14 Mars 2019 en même temps que la version soft et mise en ligne le 7 Mai 2019 en hommage à mon père, pour apaiser un peu ma peine qui ne cesse de grandir, il repose en paix depuis le 7 Mai 1992.

Merci pour votre soutien.

Taking it Easy Lyrics:  Irina

What can I do?

Can I count me plus you?
What do you see?
Can you count you plus me?

Does it make any sense?
Tacit romance...

We are taking it easy
Taking it easy...

What can I do?
What if it is me minus you?
What do you see?
Is it you minus me?

Does it make any sense?
Tacit romance...

We are taking it easy
Taking it easy...

Taking It Easy - Irina / Jamie Rhind

This track is the result of a collaboration with a fantastic singer and artist TygerTyger https://soundcloud.com/corvus_sky , whose voice made a splash in my mind. I am eternally grateful to her for her cooperation and excellent work on this track. In fact, this track is a logical continuation of "Desert Wind" https://soundcloud.com/coda2009/desert-wind , its Remix. TygerTyger wrote the lyrics to my music, based on Frank Herbert's novel "Dune" and sang amazingly.

Desert Sky

Here in my dreams her waits for me 
Here in my dreams he waits for me 
Underneath the desert sky 
underneath the twilight moon 
you and I 
you and i 

I walk without rhythm 
! walk without rhythm 
I walk without rhythm 
! walk without rhythm 
I walk without rhythm 
! walk without rhythm 
I walk without rhythm 
! walk without rhythm 

underneath the desert moon 
He waits for me
 he waits for me

I walk without rhythm 
! walk without rhythm 
I walk without rhythm 
! walk without rhythm 
underneath the desert sky 
underneath the desert sky 
you and I 
you and i 

here in my dreams  he waits for me 
I walk without rhythm 
! walk without rhythm
 he waits for me 
under the desert sky 
I walk without rhythm 
hey hey heayyo 
here in my dreams  he waits for me 
I walk without rhythm 
! walk without rhythm
 he waits for me 
under the desert sky 
I walk without rhythm 
hey hey heayyo

Desert Sky (Guitarbeard / TygerTyger)

When Dan sent me this song to learn I was blown away by the music and his singing voice! So I am delighted to share this version of us both singing it! Our second collaboration. 🙂 @danarchx to find more of his awesome music and amazing guitar work. 

Lyrics. 

A day
Turns night
Calling on...
The Dawn

They gaze
My eyes
Not for long...
The night takes hold

Away
I glide
Like there’s no...
Morning

Make way
Daylight
Turn into...
A pale moonshine

T’is then I do know
That here I can fly
On tidal waves that overflow
With visions of life
Ah....

T’is where I escape 
A place beyond time 
On spectral waves of broken light
With fragments of life
Ah....

Daybreak...
Grey Dawn
Light seeps through
The trees

Awake...
Day dawned
Light pale blue
And morning dew...
