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. 
Here, it could be the image with expressive resonances of this very particular episode ....

  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!

Indii Wild Moon - Make Me Love You (RiZLiX Remix)

buy "The River"

The River

Ambient ethereal soundscapes inspired by the Dune Universe of Frank Herbert.

SPICE - SACRED TEMPLE

Listen to the whispering waves of the sea and learn more about yourself, love, and life.

[Verse]
The ocean whispers in its sleep
A cradle rocking
Calm and deep
But when the storm comes
It will rise
A beast unleashed beneath gray skies

[Prechorus]
The sun can soothe its restless soul
But shadows linger in its roll

[Chorus]
Whispering waves
They tell no lies
Mighty and wild under angry skies
Quiet as dreams when the sunlight shines
The ocean keeps its secrets
Yours and mine

[Verse 2]
Footsteps vanish on the sand
Swallowed whole by water’s hand
It speaks in tongues we’ll never learn
Soft to soothe
Sharp to burn

[Bridge]
It holds the moon in a jealous tide
Lover and rival
Side by side
One moment peace
The next it roars
The heart of the sea is an endless war

[Chorus]
Whispering waves
They tell no lies
Mighty and wild under angry skies
Quiet as dreams when the sunlight shines
The ocean keeps its secrets
Yours and mine

Whispering Waves
