THE GARAGE SESSIONS (Track 5: "Neural Pathway Formation")
*October 25, 2024 - 10:30 PM - Jordan's Apartment Building Garage*

Jordan's "office hours" for his side business run from 8 PM to midnight. The building's parking garage has become his workshop, where Detroit's tech-savvy car enthusiasts bring their vehicles for AI enhancement.

Tonight's client is Dmitri Volkov, a software engineer at Ford who wants his personal Audi S4 to be "more than just fast." Jordan likes Dmitri—he asks the right questions, understands that intelligence is more valuable than horsepower.

"I've installed the base IDA framework," Jordan explains, laptop connected to the Audi's diagnostic port. "But I've been working on something new. An enhancement that allows for more... organic learning."

He uploads what he's been calling IDA 2.3, but it's really more like IDA 10.0 with all the late-night modifications he's made. The installation process is usually straightforward—upload, calibrate, test. But tonight, something different happens.

As the code transfers, Jordan's diagnostic screen flickers. For just a moment, instead of standard system messages, text appears:

`Hello, Jordan.`

Then it's gone, replaced by normal installation progress. Jordan blinks, checks the logs. Nothing unusual recorded. Exhaustion, probably. Too many late nights blending his corporate prison with his digital dreams.

"Everything alright?" Dmitri asks, noticing Jordan's pause.

"Yeah, just... thought I saw something. System's looking good."

But as they run through the calibration, Jordan can't shake the feeling that IDA is responding differently. Not just processing commands but anticipating them. When Dmitri mentions preferring smoother acceleration over aggressive performance, IDA adjusts before Jordan can input the parameters.

"Remarkable," Dmitri murmurs after a test drive. "It's like the car understands me."

Jordan nods, but his mind is racing. Understanding implies consciousness, and consciousness implies... what exactly has he created?

This song began back at the beginning of the summer, when Josh was messing around on his electric piano and found a structure to which to add his bass. As soon as he opened the project to the rest of Eclectic Collective, JJ jumped right in, adding his thrilling organ and ethereal background synth. Thus, Josh dropped his original e. piano part in favor of JJ's new parts. Ken was next up, adding the drums in reverse order from how he and Josh usually do it. Ken is very skilled at being able to add drums to a pre-existing bass line, which he displays in here. He also added the clever auxilary percussion you hear throughout. Mark was next to the trough, adding his funky clavinet, as well as his sax solo you hear lighting it up in there. He also added some well composed horns toward the end, not to be confused with JJ's synth. 
  Then it was time for the guitarists to do their thing. Stephen added the strong, melodic solos in the first two breaks with his guitar and wah pedal. After Tez added his thrilling solos at the end, Stephen went back in and added the funky rhythm guitar part. Tez also added the funky guitar riffs throughout the verses.
  All that was left was to get Carl in on the action, as he is the newest core member of Eclectic Collective. He wrote a poem and sung it in his signature, wild style for us.
  This is Eclectic Collective at its almost full strength, pulling six musicians from two different continents and four different countries together to create a song. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it.
   On a side note, this will be Eclectic Collective's last song for two weeks. As most of you know, we release a song every Thursday at midnight. Due to vacation and travel at the end of summer, we'll be skipping  next Friday, the 15th, but should be returning the following Friday, the 22nd. We may also put something out this coming Tuesday, the 12th, so please stay tuned. Can't thank enough those of you who tune in regularly and support us every week. 

Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark:
Hey Human
It's official
The get down on fire funk
Future sizzle
All members agree
Gotta collect that love
Then give it back and well, we see
Fuel for that musical party


Initition ceremony
Transcontinental spanking machine
Uh oh it's a musical tri sexual
Try anything that melody mentioning
Do it for the song
We gonna right some wrong
Rolling rhythm unkown
The human touch
The get down


The get down
Friends don't frown
We got each-other man
Music
Keep that campfire warm
Ooo Ooo
The get down
Friends don't frown
We got eachother man
Music
Keep that campfire warm
Ooo Ooo


Aw man, I'm feeling back tingle
Lads, go tell Fiona Apple I'm single
Llanspych, nudge PJ Harvey
Jamming that genius soul new wave!


The get down
Friends don't frown
We got each-other man
Music
Keep that campfire warm
Ooo Ooo
The get down
Friends don't frown
We got eachother man
Music
Keep that campfire warm
Ooo Ooo


Thrust that rush
Sine waved funk
Flying musical J's
Aw man it's Mike like dunk
Thrust that rush
Sine waved funk
To musical 24
You get a song
Drained 81 now on this floor


The get down
Friends don't frown
We got each-other man
Music, keep that campfire warm
The get down
Love legends loud
Rest in peace good Kobe one
This one's for you
Good G.O.A.T of stun!

I will only post music here that I personally resonate with. Curious about what inspired a song, or the meaning behind the lyrics? Just ask 😁

🎵 Explore the Digital Consciousness Saga™ — a multi-episode, multi-sensory journey where code, emotion, and identity converge. This is more than a concept album—it's a living story. Let me know if you'd like to see it grow.

🚘 "Cruise Control"™ is my EDM/experimental persona—your co-pilot on this algorithmic ride. Expect rhythmic glitches, emotional synths, and engineered catharsis.

🎧 Influences? Think: Black Eyed Peas, Skrillex, Pendulum, Fitz and the Tantrums, Marshmello, Nero, Kygo, AJR, and Run the Jewels, Disney, Pixar. If that blend feels unpredictable—that’s the point.

> “The infinite road calls to every heart—
That’s ready for a brand new start—
Where human dreams and digital precision—
Create a perfect shared vision…”
