"Through My Eyes" (Edit.: Mastered with iZotope Ozone 11 on December 4th, 2023)

This is a partly improvised "smooth jazz" or "lounge" track made as a humble tribute to my - for the most part American - collection of the wonderful musical adventure called smooth jazz that has given me so much over the years (maybe also the term "Westcoast music" could be relevant here). 

I shall call this track "Through My Eyes" because it kind of tries to capture and present something about the American smooth jazz tradition - as seen through my eyes. 

This track was loosely inspired first by Mr. Keith Jarrett's two wonderful songs, "The Good America" and "Country" which both express an enormously positive and hymn-like feeling, and second by Johannes Brahms' Symphony No. 3 in F Major, III. Poco allegretto (Op. 90), the beauty of which has been "haunting" me for many years (and maybe also to some extent by Mozart's Symphony No. 40, I. Molto allegro, and Schubert's Symphony No. 8 "Unfinished", I. Allegro moderato, etc.).

I have not found out much about the origins of the two Mr. Jarrett's songs but in a recent interview he talks about them and rightly describes - if I understood correctly - the song "The Good America" as almost like a prayer. I also got the impression that both of these two Mr. Jarrett's songs kind of represent a view of America. 

I have also gotten inspiration here from the music of one of my all-time favorite jazz bands Spyro Gyra and from all the wonderful music that Mr. Carlos Santana has provided to the world. Last but not least as a source of inspiration I shall mention the music of Mr. Burt Bacharach (especially his breath-taking song "Bells of St. Augustine"). There is again also a bunch of other classical and popular music and jazz lurking on the background as a source of inspiration. 

The instruments and plugins I have been privileged to use here are once again my old workhorse Korg SGProX digital stage piano (master keyboard), Yamaha Montage 8 synthesizer (CFX Concert) and the wonderful instruments from Scarbee (Rhodes, EP-88S), Native Instruments (Abbey Road 80s Drummer), the UVI SonicPass and Arturia V Collection. The drum grooves, fills etc. are from the 80s Drummer and edited by me.

This is an old Jerry Jeff Walker song from a live album that Josh's dad played countless times while driving around in his his old pickup truck while he was growing up. Josh decided this year's musical gift to his father would be a recording of this song, which his dad has always loved. When he asked his bandmates in the Eclectic Collective to help him with it, they all generously and enthusiastically agreed to do so.

  Josh began the song by laying down the piano you hear throughout. He then added the bass before asking Ken to lay down the drums. Ken learned the song very quickly, and added perfect drums to it. Stephen then added his solid foundational guitar. Then, Josh went back in and added the mandolin before singing the whole thing. Before it was done, however, Josh tapped JJ to add the piano solo after the first chorus, which he did with grand style and flourish.

  Once it was in the can, Stephen was kind enough to mix and master it in his always professional manner. 

  Josh is very grateful to his bandmates for helping him give the gift of music to his dad once again this year. His dad has alwasy supported him with his music, from the time he was a little kid, and is very proud of his musical skills to this day. We hope you enjoy listening to this

This song is about staying the course at something even in the face of 🔥! As you do it suggests we make art and explain the world to ourselves a little more clearly and colourfully along the way.
I love integrating science in lyrics. I think it's a lovely way to learn things and I guess making possibly boring ideas musical and poetic maybe automatically makes them more interesting and digestible. I think subliminally this can help with belief in truth too un the future. I believe music already gives us that in huge depth but it's still nice to acknowledge a place for my ideas there. I like the idea of having clear modern truth as an alternative to theology when they breakout and start embracing new ideas and and science ..
 not to mention soul 😃




Lyrics

This dream is fading fast
My staying power won't last
I'm feeling like an outcast
Robinson Crusoe sets my new caste

Wait, just be yourself
Believe in what you want
Say no to war
Lets make new font

Fountains of Water
Christmas everyday
Good news for New Years
Good news is the way
It's spitfire spears
Grounding your tears
Grounded in grain and grace

So it's good news for our muse
Good poitive injection
Soul to give us as we seek out perfection

its good news
its good news
Soul to give us as we seek out perfection

Band 1: Nightmares by the Sea
Band 2: The Diglogue
Now: The Beautiful Dark
Fountains of dark and light murdered in songs

weird words... and I ain't wearing no thong x3
Fountains of dark and light murdered in songs

Wait, just be yourself
Believe in what you want
Say no to war
Lets make new font

Fountains of Water
Christmas everyday
Good news for New Years
Good news is the way
Positive projections
internalized perfections
More be wise with observation sectioned

Fountains of Water

Here is a new composition about the simple fact of loving.  Once again I could find many reasons to Hate, but I choose Love.  It's more pleasant.

Voici une nouvelle composition sur le simple fait d'aimer.  Je pourrais encore une fois trouver de nombreuses raisons de Haïr, mais je choisis l'Amour.  C'est plus agréable.

Embrace the Winter

Lyrics & vocals by me
Music made in Garageband

A simle song with simple music and lyrics :)
This time I added some echo to my voice, I thought it fits the song :)

Lyrics:

All the lines in your face
Tells a story
I embrace..

All the marks on your hands
Worked so hard
I embrace....

All the blisters under your feet
Walked so far
I embrace...

All the scars on your arms
Fought so hard
I embrace...

All the burdens on your chest
Carried on so much
I embrace...

All the pain in your heart
Felt so strongly
I embrace...

All the words from your mouth
Full of wisdom
I embrace...

All you have, all you are
All of you
I embrace...

I Embrace You  (Original )

Thank you for visiting and listening to this track.
In spiritual card reading, the cards read your mind and give you messages.
But in life, readily available advice does not make us happy.
We have lost our ancient connection with the universe. We look to the past, but there is no going back to past glories and failures.
My advice to you is already in your heart. I think.

Picnic in the Park  - Watch my video short! https://youtu.be/Z90D8qLSHjY?si=9lbkSdG-aeu_zr4H

A glorious day 
For a Picnic in the Park
Birds are chirping, 
Swans are swimming
Children laughing, 
The sun is grinning.
On a blanket of grass, 
We lay 
Side by side, 
Savoring each taste
Of food, drink, 
A kiss, 
On this lovely day.

Influenced by funky, rock-infused electronic dance music—from punk rock and reggae/dub to the big beat sounds of the ’90s.
A unique soundscape shaped by the clash of digital waves and raw energy.

パンクロック、レゲエやダブから90年代のビッグビートなど、ファンキーでロックでエレクトロなダンスミュージックに影響を受ける。
デジタルの波と生のエネルギーが独自のサウンドスケープを描く。
