Your Mix 3

Du grenier au dolmen

I'm fighting with this track for a long time now. First drafts were created back in 2018 august. At the moment it was a post-rock / progressive rock epic that included every trick and practice i knew about music composition. Then i stopped writing music for a few years and it stayed in it's unreleased demo form for long.

Since last year i started this new electronic project, i thought some of my older, unrealised music should be repurposed to finally come to life. I pictured it will be a quite easy task.

Well, it was an extremely hard undertaking for me to strip this one to it's bare minimums and reshape it into a more ambient / chillout sounding thingy. But i learned so much about music and myself along the way...
I've written and erased melodies and chords in this track for so long that i could have written a whole album from the deleted ideas only.

The cover art is a Midjourney generated image with a strong influence from The Fountain (2006), a movie in which a man learns to let things go and embrace fate after a 500 years long journey. I think it is rather fitting. 

Thanks again for the beautiful mixing and mastering work to https://soundcloud.com/forgottendreams

Hope you will like it.

Earlier this year, the Eclectic Collective and Ross Smithe together covered the classic Grateful Dead tune, The Wheel. The song is essentially a kind of musical metaphor for the relentless cycles of life we all experience. The first release was back in August, and here it comes, rolling back around again for yet another take! One of the great things about the Grateful Dead is that the music is always open to different perspectives and interpretations. The original mix from August has the definite raw energy and intensity of a live jam. Ross' intention with this remix was to try and capture a bit more clarity and definition between parts (as soundboard mixes of live concerts often do).

Made for the Jamuary challenge (jamming lots in January).

We finished a song from 2018 for this entry. It will be up Bandcamp at the end of the month, when we have enough to make it into a proper compilation and when it has more polish done to mixing/mastering.

Synth work by Masha (@masha-solo) and Rob Ulysses (@rob-ulysses) using a combination of the Roland Gaia SH-01, the app called Figure, and Garageband for iOS.

Wishing you all a very happy, healthy, 2025 that's creative/productive (when you want it to be) otherwise I hope your time is fun & relaxing! Much love from Archmage Band.
