Ambient Rock

Marcher, c'est des captures d'images, des sentiments qui se composent, se transforment, se ruminent en de douces pensées. Dans l'enlacement continu du parcours, cette source de satiété physique offre une richesse grandissante à l'esprit. La pérégrination ancre nos sens dans cette réalité.

Walking is capturing images, feelings that are composed, transformed, ruminated in sweet thoughts. In the continuous embrace of the journey, this source of physical satiety offers a growing richness to the spirit. The journey anchors our senses in this reality.

Ce projet se compose d'un prélude, d'une pièce principale, de cet interlude suivi de son postlude.

3 - Sur Le Chemin - Avec Franck Douvin

This is a chord type tune that I came up with in early 20s that stayed with me, a revolving picked cord, no begining and no end, ever spinning wheel, some saddness and some joy.
I have replaced the file without EQ to original

Eternal Friend (short solo2003)

This track was inspired by my fav film 'The Warriors', it's old now but I found it, posted it.. see how it goes

Not Coming Back

Recorded on basic 4-track casset recorder, using eco/delay tempo.

Merkaba (2002)

A short piece that I had recorded 2009 on my laptop, capturing my feelings about the wonderful forest atmosphere

New Forest (2009)

A refined version of the previous versions recorded on fourtrack tascam portastudio

The Circle V3 (1990)

This tune Is from an Idea I have on a video that I made a few years ago in the lockdown period. The video was myself playing to a loop I had made quickly, but I liked the vibe and always wished to record this properly, so the source of this tune is this video https://youtu.be/zWut8y0hQYA
I added an ambient guitar technique at 3.06 minutes, called ''Glissando'' that I picked up through listening to the great band ''Gong'' and the exceptional Guitarist ''Steve Hillage''. This effect was developed by Daevid Allen, Gong,
by means of using a smooth metal bar (tremolo arm) in a sweeping motion
across guitar strings with delay fx and other ambient fx.

In this, our benevolent Space Brothers and Sisters have been watching, and see that we are now in an emergency in our wonderful Home, Earth. What now....? This is my new video to provide a possible storyline for this tune https://youtu.be/AjZvJxecBtI

Space Brother-Space Sister (2025)

La marcha de los inconscientes

This audio is from a last video playing along to a loop I created in 2023, https://youtu.be/Uu4d9b4MVCs

Purification

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, percussion 
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....

The Noise Rises Up-Didier/Eclectic Collective

Fading Shadows (2025)

Some Heaven. (Feat: Lioness Pinky🦁

New song written by David Cooper and Ralph Donkin.

Performed by David Cooper.

Lyrics by Ralph Donkin

Your face is familiar
That's what she said
But your name just escapes me
Gone right out of my head
I'm thinking back
To when we were young
Just give me a minute 
It's on the tip of my tongue

It was clear in my mind
Why she got so upset
So clear that's the problem
My one big regret
I knew that she loved me
With feelings intense
But I couldn't stay with her
The fall out immense

SKELETONS IN THE CLOSET
THEY WON'T LET ME REST
MEMORIES THAT HAUNT ME
MEMORIES, MEMORIES UNBLESSED

Bridge

Solo

I wouldn't admit it
Even though I was wrong
I've lived with that feeling 
Of guilt for so long
Whatever the reason
It was not meant to be
But I've never forgotten 
What she meant to me

Chorus x 2

End

Lyrics:
I am the man they call Sue Monday
I used to ride in Tennessee
They finally caught me on a Sunday
Now they gonna crucify me

I’m gonna be dancin’ 
On nothing at all

Caught me some red legs down in Georgia
Where they been burnin’ down the mills
They had our sisters in their saddles
And I got me four and twenty kills

Yeah they were dancin’ 
On nothing at all

And I made it right
Yeah I made it right
And I made it right right right right

She must be wonderin’ where I am now
She must be lookin’ for me
But I’m locked up in Louisville, Kentucky
And they are never gonna set me free free free

I’m gonna be dancin’ 
On nothing at all

And I made it right
Yeah I made it right
And I made it right right right right

These are my musical compositions since I began recording on 4-track tape, and later on with laptop, have been adding new compositions in the last few years here and there.
Mostly instrumental recordings, and tracks with vocal, adding extra musical Dimensions and athmospherics.
I have many musical influences, there are special bands and musicians I grew up listening to, Gong, Steve Hillage, Jimi Hendrix, Santana, Ozric Tentacles, Pink Floyd, Soft Machine, John Martyn (ecoplex guitar master), Return to Forever,  Zappa, and from my own country, Thin Lizzy, Rory Gallagher, Gary Moore, CLannad.
