I was working on updating this and it suddenly struck me that it's sorta spooky sounding and it's Halloween time. Perfect.

Circa 2007 I began poking around with synth sounds in GarageBand. It was fun to play with the settings to see what new sounds I could contrive. This is the result of one of those adventures. I recently opened the file in Logic and tweaked it to match where I'm at presently in my musical journey.

(This tune is downloadable.)

I compose in MIDI, using Logic Pro and sound libraries from EastWest. This tune has a lot of personally tweaked synth sounds.

Dans la vie, il y a des événements pour lesquels il n'est pas toujours possible d'anticiper ou de maîtriser et pour lesquels, il est légitime d’être plus préoccupé, plus stressé que d’habitude. De ce fait, la musique aide souvent à passer ce cape, de ce moment du quotidien très perturbé.
Ici, cela pourrait être l'image aux résonances expressives de cet épisode si particulier ….

In life, there are events for which it is not always possible to anticipate or master and for which, it is legitimate to be more concerned, more stressed than usual. As a result, music often helps to pass this cape, from this very disturbed daily moment.

  Well folks, it's that time of year again. It's time for the Eclectic Collective to take stock of the fruits of the year previous, and reflect on what making music together means to all of us. We hope you all take a chunk of time and indulge in our gift to you. We wanted to address every one of our SoundCloud friends with our voices as an intimate way to connect with each of you.
  This has become a tradition within the EC now that we've made it to our second (and a half) year of making music together. For the second time, JJ asked our friend and sometimes collaborator Jeff (Stonerjazz) to ask some interview questions of us. Then, we all came up with the answers and sent them to JJ to assemble the project.
  This mighty music machine we've created, that manages to release a new song every Friday, wouldn't mean anything if no one was listening to us. Which is why we want to extend our very sincere thanks to you for tuning in and supporting our efforts. If one other person gets joy from our music, that's such a huge accomplishment. However, it really feels like a bunch of people whom we really respect are digging what we're doing, which feels truly humbling and fulfilling. 
  With that, we hope you enjoy hearing us voice our thoughts over the highlights of our musical year as much as we enjoyed a year rich in music and comradery. Happy New Year!

The 2024 Eclectic Collective Rockumentary

Piano Quintet

Megacosm

Nacreous Twilight

Lágrima colma el vaso

This album was born from the heart of Syrian pain — from a land that still whispers life despite all the sorrow.
The music here is more than just sound; it’s a cry, a memory, a heartbeat of a nation still standing through the wounds.
It rose from Syria — from the ruins and smoke — from voices tired of war but still dreaming of peace.

The sound is epic and cinematic, blending orchestral depth with choral emotion.
Each track carries a grand, melancholic soul — dark yet alive, sorrowful yet powerful.
This is the music of a people who refused to surrender, who lost so much yet still sing for love, for return, and for light

هذا الألبوم خرج من قلب الوجع السوري، من أرضٍ كانت تهتف للحياة رغم كل الألم.
الموسيقا هون ما هي مجرد نوتات… هي صرخة، هي ذكرى، هي نبض وطن ما زال واقف رغم الجراح.
طلعت الموسيقا من سوريا، من بين الركام والدخان، من صدى الأصوات اللي تعبت من الحروب بس بعدها بتحلم بالسلام.

الألحان ملحمية الطابع، فيها إيقاعات سينمائية تشبه مشاهد الألم والصمود، تمتزج فيها الأوركسترا بالعُمق العاطفي للكورال، ليولد صوت واحد… عظيم، حزين، وسوداوي، لكنه مليان حياة.
إنها موسيقا تحكي عن وطن ما استسلم، عن ناس فقدت كتير، بس بعدها بتغني للحب والرجعة والنور.

نحنا سوريين… قلب واحد   We are Syrians… one heart

Ethereal ambient soundscapes for your pleasure.
