I'd been talking for a while with @kinelle-man (one of my favourite Soundcloud artists) about collaborating on something, but I was always too lazy to do anything about it. Then he recently approached me with this great tune, which was more or less complete already, and he suggested I add some drums to it, and whatever else I thought might work. most of the music is from kinelle man, while I added some drums, organ, and extra guitar bits (see below for details). Once I mixed it together, we really loved how it turned out and I'm grateful to kinelle man for this fun opportunity! Dedicated to a friend of a friend.  :)

I'm So Bad At Lying That It's Cringy

it's so cold

Another unpretentious pop song. I kind of like the chorus and the instrumental bridge. It should be shorter, but it came out that way, with an extra minute.

note: soundcloud has kept this poetry noisescape  in "processing' hell for a couple of days .... there is a ticket number but no action on sc's side. I had to inconveniently reupload by diffrent means to circumvent this obnoxious bug.

method: setting out from the voice clip (text to speech) of the poem and finding its paces and counterpoints in two kinds of daw
narration: why do people keep telling me how great AI is supposed to be ….. when I feel like an extension of the intelligent machine already – in the mainly physical (mechanical and electrical) field and age, mental representation has a different function …. is this really a transformation of the self these people are looking forward to? - - - - sibyls have always had a non-human aspect, enticing and alienating humans the way the fair folk (or  Cassandra, for that matter) did

Drink

La la la   lal lal la
I drink my coffee. You drink your tea
The long road opens wide.
You travelled with me all the way through Natures thought,
To all the places that the sun shines on
Then there was the start of a recent one
The man who came to see and turn the meter-maid on
You drink your coffee. I drink my tea
I drink my coffee. You drink your tea
The old tree looking down
Crippled inside and out of Natures thought
With Owen's mud-lusty toasted trench-foot toes.(Wilfred Owen)
And on the floor the paper looks a flavourite soul
There once was a gender a common goal.
There’s a place a trip, a place to trip, a trip unknown
A faster thought ,a faster thought in just one tone.
A corner of the middle , inside a tomb.
A sand-speck sequence which draws ,draws us home.
A sand-speck sequence which draws ,draws us home.
(guitar….)
There once was a time!
Across the sky, across the slow cross-crested sigh.
A flatter side am I a flatter side am I.
A sound as dead as cold as ice will apply
The man who came to see and switch the meter-maid on
The long road opens wide
You travelled with me all the way through Natures thought,
To all the places that the sun shines on
Then there was the start of a recent one
The man who came to see and turn the meter-maid on
I drink my coffee. You drink your tea
I drink my coffee. You drink your tea
There’s a place a trip, a place to trip, a trip unknown
A faster thought ,a faster thought in just one tone.
A corner of the middle , inside a tomb.
A sand-speck sequence which draws ,draws us home.
A sand-speck sequence which draws ,draws us home.
I drink my coffee. You drink your tea
I drink my coffee. You drink your tea

Magical Thinking

Cast of Characters:
Didier Burli-- @didierburli — acoustic guitar, main vocals, composition
Llanpsych–@llanpsych –Tez– Fender Stratocaster electric guitar, mix, and production
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Roland Phantom organ, Roland piano, Paul Reed Smith cutom SE electric guiar, Warwick four string fretless bass, vocal harmonies
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– Tom Anderson custom T model electric guitar

This song began with Didier coming up with it on his acoustic guitar. However, when he first sent it to Josh, he had played electric guitar, bass, keys, and drums on it, because he is a very talented multi-intrumentalist. This song passes the stool test, though, which is the question of whether it sounds good with someone just sitting on a stool with a guitar, playing and singing it. So, when we asked him to give us a version that we could add to, it was already a great song that he sent us with just him singing over his acoustic guitar.
Tez was the first one up on this one, adding the fiery fills throughout, as well as the co-solo at the end. Ken entered the fray next, adding his rock solid, dynamic drums. Once the drums were down giving him something to play against, Josh added his fretless bass to the song. Being very excited about this one, he also added piano, organ, and eventually the lead guitar solo at the end. He also went in and added all the vocal harmonies throughout. Stephen then brought up the rear with some really cool textural guitar throughout.
Once we had it in the bag, we asked Tez to produce and mix it for us, which he did in his usual expert fashion.
This is our first song with Didier, but we hope it's just the beginning of his new inclusion into the Eclectic Collective family. He has a lot of great music on his page, which is worth checking out, too. We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed creating it.
Original lyrics by Didier Burli:
I wish I could stay awake but I need to sleep
Thunder is on it's way but I don't hear it
I don't fear the ghouls, and I don't fear the creeps
And with this dancing zombie, I don't know what to do with it
And I just get too much information....
in the middle of the night, when everything is silent....

(chorus) And the noise rises up
From all those things, that mankind does, that makes you want throw up

(chorus) And the noise rises up
From all those things, that mankind does that makes you want dream of

(chorus) And the noise rises up
From all those things that makes you scared of

(chorus) And the noise rises up
From all those things that mankind lost

And I just get too much information....
in the middle of the night, when everything is silent....

Ebullience

wow. WOW. It is released. It has been "finished".

This has been one of the most challenging and rewarding collaborations to date. Interesting as *thommo* (https://soundcloud.com/thommo_tunes) was the first person I ever collaborated with over soundcloud. Our first track "Alchemy" kind of just fell together within weeks.  4am not only took over a year but has 3 very different versions.   The first version was 6 minutes long, very fast and the lyrics were much darker.  The second had the same lyrics but the beat was much different. 
*thommo* and I started going in different directions and we both kind of threw our hands up. My communication dropped off due to life changes. *thommo* every now and then would send a message reflecting on wanting to revisiting the track but I was consumed with a far different life than I was living the first time we collaborated. 

However, *thommo* kept pushing on this track and eventually sent me the first draft of this newest version and all of the excitement and passion jumped alive. It was the best of what both of us saw the tracks potential as.  

So HERE WE ARE! Full circle with our completed collaboration ready for your listening enjoyment.  From EllE of Cycle of Hands and *thommo* we bring you: 

4 A.M.

lyrics:

There are some things that wait until the quiet
Time of night
To take over your mind before the day gets bright
When everyone’s still asleep I feel like I might
Be the only one alive so I look to the sky

I take comfort in the stars and the moon in despite
Of their distance from my room where I sit and write
Pieces of ideas from this muse deep inside
She’s the higher form I use to free my light

It’s 4 am and I am
In the deep end 
No sleep then
For me this night

It’s me and my mind
I can’t unwind 
I wonder 
I hunt for 
What is life

I Ignite a little fire to see where I am
In the A.M. I get tired but I still can’t land
Mayhem of creation doesn’t care about plans
I made when my intention was lights out by 9

But Inspiration beckons and I can’t reject the call
If it is passed to me it’s disrespect if I drop the ball
Of energy like electricity from the wall
It’s all I see and I know its me who needs to crack this vault

It’s 4 am and I am
In the deep end 
No sleep then
For me this night

It’s me and my mind
I can’t unwind 
I wonder 
I hunt for 
What is life

It’s 4 am and 
The world is small
This screen the window 
And my wall

No sounds are heard
Except my own thoughts
They go Back and forth 
And it ticks me off

My eyes are glued to this new creation 
I can’t stop, drop or leave this inspiration 
Inside me theres a key to the ignition 
When its turned There is no chance of intermission 
I’ve been hitting on something much bigger than fiction 
I know Because it comes straight from my deepest intuition 
It can’t wait to escape from everything I’ve written 
Leaping from the words the moment you see em

So tonightt I am defying my sleep cycle 
Gonna try to give life to these dreams that I pull
From the hat on my skull That been getting too full 
With ideas and scenarios playing like a film roll 
On repeat so I need to hit focus and record
Can’t miss a thing double checking every cord
I know that the final piece is my only reward 
I blow through minutes and hours with every step taken towards
My gold

4am (*thommo* and EllE)

Well I know this is a cover and not my usual style but lockdown makes you do weird things. Normal service will be resumed. When? Dunno, but I suspect BoJo knows.  Big greetings and musical hugs to you from a slightly 'stir crazy' burn.it.smith (a.k.a. Antony x)

Oh Susanna (Stephen Foster)

I went camping for a few days to hang out with the trees, but I have returned with a new tune.

I've been trying to improve my guitar skills as i feel ive been plateaued for a while now, and so i have been learning new songs including a lot of Hendrix which gave me the idea to incorporate bass notes with my thumb into the riff (Little Wing etc). 

Lots of people wander this earth struggling with depression, sadness and a lack of purpose in their life. This song is a story about nature encouraging the people of earth to live out their dreams and reassuring them that there is no reason to frown and no reason not to shoot for their goals right now.
Because after all, the only real time is now.

 <3 <3


Tears fall from the sky
All the people they run and hide
All the people they run inside
They should smile, but they cry

Tears fall from the clouds
All the people they run around
All the people they fall and drown
They should smile, but they frown

Only if they knew just above the clouds
There were bright blue skies shinin all around
Calling to the people theyre smiling down
Callin out theres no need to frown

The birds they sing to the people too
Hey you fools its time to do
All the things you ever dreamed of
Write that book that you always speak of

I see
Angels
Weeping
All around me

If only 
They knew
How much
They can do

Angels
