The Upload 16. July 2018

The autonomous subway in Suwon South Korea opened and it has a front glass window. This is a long exposure going through the tunnel.

The stopwatch was captured from the 60 minutes intro:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lb6UgPSdp0o
and compressed to match the BPM of the song.

We are continually late and trying to beat the clock 
while trying to get from one place to the next.
Technology has done a pretty good job of reducing our transit time.
In imagining how to musically depict the sensation of getting up to speed,
I wondered at what techniques might be possible...
AND
...How might it be done without changing the tempo in the least?
It eventually dawned on me that nothing new had to be invented,
because we have all experienced this...maybe without even noticing it.
Going from Legato to Stacatto, 
and to packing more and shorter duration notes into each measure,
then cranking up the pitch into a higher key...to add just a dash of tension.

Imagination
Must have its recreation
But where will has brought nothing to crystal
And reigns within only tumble and mush
Conspiracies pimps do business

Lyrics my own.

" I'm one bad trip away...
  from becoming a new human...

  my body feels different...
  my brain isn't functioning...

  I need to get away from here...
  get back to the old me...

  but I can't help the feeling...
  I'm not who I used to be...  "

NEW HUMAN...

CAST OF CHARACTERS:
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- electric piano, synth, seed idea
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark –  vocals, lyrics, mix, and production
Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – guitar
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–banjo, guitar, sitar, and final mastering
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums, seed idea
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – four-string fretless bass

Composition – The Eclectic Collective
This song started in probably the most effective way our group writes them. Ken had a spectacular drum beat that was unused in a previous project, so JJ composed and recorded  a chord arrangement with his magical keys. Once we had a beat and a chord structure, Josh came along and added his foundational bass. 
     Now that the rhythm section was complete and the chord structure was in place, Stephen added his unique melody line that you hear at the beginning and every other verse on his magic banjo. He also plays all the initial guitar until around 1:40, where Tez takes over. Stephen also added some really trippy sitar in the vocal section. Then it was time for Tez to add some spice to the mix with his fiery guitar solos from about 1:40 on, eventually building up to a crescendo towards the end. 
     Once we had all the music down, we realized that we had a big gap in the bridge without much going on in it. So, Mark came through with an old poem he had written on his fridge with word magnets for his daughter more than a decade ago, and expanded on it for this song. (the poem is loosely based on the idea that our dreams exist in a digital environment/universe) The young girl's voice you hear echoing Mark's filtered voice is his daughter, in her first appearance with the EC. 
     The song was now finished, except for Mark using his production skills to trim and move a few things, then mix it. While we usually defer to Tez or Stephen for the mix, Mark did such a great job, we decided to keep his mix. Stephen did, however master and EQ it to make it a finished product. 
     This song was truly put together as a whole band effort, showcasing what the Eclectic Collective can do. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it.  

Original lyrics by Mistermark:  

The moon flickers on
and rises and dances
across a celestial stage
as dreamers paint the pixels of their mind 
like an infinite canvas 

Sleep away tiny egg
and leave a delicate thread 
of memory behind 
but never log out 
you are in the elaborate web
always

Fortunately, there are still permission places in this world where people can just be the way they are in their deepest interior. I am glad that I can offer such a permission place to people with my work.
And using the example of a female and a male client, I sing in this song the process of how people often, as soon as they enter my permission place, take off their everyday weapons and protective vests and give me insights into their beautiful, delicate and vulnerable being.  

English Translation of  the lyrics:

So tender * So fine

I hear her coming
the heels aloud
in jerk-step rhythm
greying on the hair

Still outside my rooms 
like a razor sharp
hardly anyone recognizes 
her love needs, 
her love needs

Now she stacks 
pomps-wobbly to me in
Still dripping 
from the "I'm needed"-appearance

She sits opposite me
Her perfume is blowing at me
Stroke her with my voice
Look at her lovingly

The Prada-inaccessibility is melting away
The sharp-pointed chin rounds gently
The just a moment ago hard becomes shining-beautifully soft
falls softly into her own kingdom of heaven

So tender, so fine, so fine, so tender, so fine, so fine
So lovably fine 

I'm a little scared 
when I see him coming.
races like a pimped-up, tuned BMW

The smartphone at the ear
Head set laced
of tie and suit
ornamented with meaning,
ornamented with meaning

The last few stairs
now he comes in
an aura blows over him 
be deeply lonely

Sits across from me
my handshake warm
now freed from the headset
with a dawning shame

He slowly reveals his innermost thoughts
a beautiful secret of which he still knows nothing
a playful and dreamy boy in the forest
united with the trees, a happiness child figure

So tender, so fine, so fine, so tender, so fine, so fine
So lovably fine

So tender, So fine, So fine, So tender, So fine, So fine….

Deutscher Originaltext:

So tender * So zart

Höre Sie kommen
die Absätze laut
im Stechschritt-Rhythmus
das Haar angegraut

noch draußen wirkt Sie 
wie ein Rasiermesser scharf
kaum jemand erkennt 
Ihren Liebes-Bedarf,
Ihren Liebesbedarf

Jetzt stakelt Sie 
pömps-wacklig zu mir herein
Immer noch triefend 
vom „Man braucht mich doch“- Schein

Setzt sich mir gegenüber
Ihr Parfüm weht mich an
streichel` Sie mit meiner Stimme
Schau` Sie liebevoll an

Die Prada-Unnahbarkeit schmilzt vor sich hin
Sanft rundet sich das grad` noch scharf-spitze Kinn
Das eben noch harte wird leuchtend-schön weich
fällt sanft in ihr eigenes Himmelreich

So tender, so zart, so zart, so tender, so zart, so zart
So liebenswert zart    

Hab` etwas Angst 
als ich ihn kommen seh`
rast an wie ein aufgemotzter, getunter BMW

das Smartphone am Ohr
Head-Set-zugeschnürt
von Krawatte und Anzug
mit Bedeutung verziert

die letzten Treppen
jetzt kommt er herein
ihn umweht eine Aura 
von zutiefst einsam sein

setzt sich mir gegenüber
mein Händedruck warm
jetzt vom Headset befreit
mit morgenrötender Scham

gibt er ganz langsam sein innerstes preis
ein schönes Geheimnis, von dem er noch nichts weiß
ein verspielter und träumender Junge im Wald
mit den Bäumen vereint, eine Glücks-Kind-Gestalt

So tender, so zart, so zart, so tender, so zart, so zart
So liebenswert zart 

So tender, so zart, so zart, So tender, so zart, so zart…

So Tender * So Zart

Here is a track I almost posted as an instrumental, but changed my mind after writing a text that seemed to fit well with the energy of the track.
Kind of a 'happy' chaos... Many layers going on
My music being a means for me to escape and be happy, having my life in shambles right now emotionally. Music is and always was a savior for me.

All instruments but the drums by me so as the vocals of course :-)
Here is the text in it's original form;

Murky Waters.
Universe crossroads, no traffic light.
Thin ice turning point.
Trust misgiving.
Life lottery.
Pitfall of transience.
Shift the weight convolution.
Tangle in the web.
Stay there, bewildered.
Sudden confusion.
Instant mistrust.
Unpredictable vagueness.
Irresolution, ambiguity.
Brain puzzlement.
Word guesswork.
Think, wonder, store and delete.
Odds creeping out.

was the name of this song. I changed it to Now

I started this thing when my hard disc was full , most things are just sketches, never intended to be full songs, Some are good, most of them are too long, there are bits here and there. Bits intended to be used  in other songs

I keep bees and write music
