Oh Annie How Beautiful And Becky's Cello is divine!!

I'm a bit of a sucker for a real cello so it has to be a winner for me. Your vocals and the cello blend perfect together and the arrangement and production are not over done. Beautiful Annie.

Stunning track, beautiful soulful cello, love the piano and gorgeous vocals too!

Beautifull vocals, piano and the cello my lovely instrument that I play it for  about 30 years 😊

So much beautiful & Lyrical lyric!!! Wouderful voice!!!!! Deramings👍👍👍👍👍

Gorgeous cello and your one-of-a-kind voice Annie make for a beautiful duo

This is actually the third version of the song. I felt the original idea I’d roughed out with the keyboard and computer could be more interesting. So I reworked the whole track again (twice) adding several ‘hooks’. These were some vocal ‘stabs’, some keyboard/synth riffs as well as writing ( what I hope ) is a more interesting bass line. I beefed up the drum section too. I hope the fun I had creating it is reflected in the overall vibe of the track. Having said all this, the question is: did it actually work? 


Get Up

An Ambient Improv meditation on my Kawai ES7 Stage Piano seeking to describe... 

a feeling.... an atmosphere... a certain something that seems to be in the very air we're breathing. A moment... a pause... 
a sensing of what the french call... 'je ne sais quoi'.

May you relax and enJoy.

U-Dyslexia

Another recent recording from the latest batch of songs. I think the instrumental Noobly created on this is stunning he makes it so easy for me to fit vocal melodies.
A song about not wanting to let go of the sun in a relationship that made it so hot and fire.
Nothing lasts forever and just like flowers we wilt and die eventually but must come back stronger next time and regain our bloom. 
Conscience Of Kings gives you …..

Sun In My Fist 

V1
You said you hate getting flowers because that’s a gift that’s already dying 
Maybe there like you and me but at least Im trying
Help me understand I’m suffering the way I am
I’m buried under this weight of you, not giving a damn

Ch
Holding the sun in my fist 
It’s burning a hole in my wrist 
The success & hope depends on this 
So while I’m holding the sun in my fist
It will stop me spinning spinning out on this 

I will stay quiet out here in the open 
And you can carry on pretending that you are coping 
Undercutting my compliments and being really assertive
It’s never been  your style or a form of flirting 

Ch

Lead break 
2.55
You make my good days even better 
You bring the sun into to my weather 
If only you could see yourself through my eyes 
Then you would realise 
That’s why I’m holding 
The sun on my fist x3



To stop me spinning out on this …..


Sun In My Fist ~ Conscience Of Kings

Deep Forest Planet

Five Feathers (Remix)

Cast of characters:
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender Telecaster electric guitar, mix, production, and composition
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark – synthesizer, vocals, and lyrics
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick fretless four string bass
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– Tom Anderson cutom T electric guitar, sometimes with an ebow
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – organ and synth

This song began as an idea Tez came up with on his guitar while on holiday not far from his home in Wales. It had such a solid form, it inspired Mark to write lyrics and come up with vocal melodies within a few days of hearing it for the first time. The two of them have written several songs like this, making them a solid songwriting source for Eclectic Collective. 
  Once the song had a even more solid form, Ken took added his dynamic, bouncy-groove drums to it. As soon as Ken had the drums down, Josh took his turn, adding the fretless bass and solidifying the groove. Now that the basic framework was done, Stephen added his thrilling electric guitar. Last, but certainly not least, JJ added his dancing organ and the really cool, psych synth lead part in the bridge towards the end. Mark also added some awesome backing synth to it, as well, filling out the sound. At the very end of the process, Tez also dropped in the hot intro and outro solos, as well.
  Once we had it all in the can, it was time to turn it over to Tez for his expert production and mix. He came up with the idea of adding reverb to the drums, as well as some other compression tricks, which he employed with subtle style. 
   This, as mentioned, is a great example of what Eclectic Collective can do in house with the composition and songwriting skills of Tez and Mark. The rest of us really had fun working on this one, too, of course. We hope you enjoy listenig to this as much as we enjoyed making it.
Original lyrics by mistermark:

There’s something I’m seeking that I’ve never found
but the seed that you planted went deep in the ground 
there’s a journey that I’m on and the path is uncertain 
the magic fades when you pull back the curtain 

Wherever you go I will follow
there’s always another tomorrow 

There will never come a time when I do you harm
cause my soul is steady when I’m in your arms
and never have I heard music like your Voice 
when you call me to you I have no choice

Wherever you go I will follow
there’s always another tomorrow 

Like a puzzle on the table all the pieces fit
like I’m standing in the dark and a match is lit 
and what it all means man I just don’t know
but it’s a powerful feeling and it’s starting to grow

Wherever you go I will follow
there’s always another tomorrow

Wherever U Go-Eclectic Collective

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
