Shifting Visions( new mix)

Music from the original motion picture soundtrack from the movie in my mind. This is one of three tracks, that use identical sounds and melodies, intended to work with each other as if they were from an 80s electronic movie soundtrack. One sounding a little sinister, one sounding full of tension, yet promising, and the third track (this one) sounding somewhat triumphant. To be honest, I am not happy with the mix, and originally, I intended to revisit the track. But after having bought a new pc, I am somehow unable to use one of the main synth vst-plug-ins, that is responsible for much of the sounds. So this track will have to remain as it is.

This song started when as a vague idea Josh came up with while listening to Lionel Richie's All Night Long followed by Michael McDonald's song Sweet Freedom. He wanted to create a song that uses that same basic structure because those are both perfect pop songs in his opinion. He came up with a rough structure on his bass and piano before enlisting the help of his team of musical superheroes. 

  Ken was first up to bat, adding his magical drums and helping Josh find a groove on his bass. Ken later added the hand percussion that adds a spicy drive to the song, too. Next up was Mark, who added the funky clavinet throughout. Stephen threw down after Ken, adding some foundational guitar to the stew. He also added the awesome banjo you hear trickling throughout. Very shortly after, Tez came through with the trippy guitar solo at the end. JJ followed with the breathy organ that lifts the whole thing aloft.

  Now that we had a solid foundation to work with, Josh added the synth "horn" part in the middle, as well as the vocals, including the third harmony part in the choruses. JJ added the fifth harmony part in the choruses soon after. He also added the synth hooks throughout and synth solo at the end. Not stopping there, he also added the electric piano intro, with Ken's drums, and Stephen, who added the electric guitar in that part, as well.

  Now that the whole thing was in the can, it was time for a mix. One of our resident production experts, Stephen, did the honors, as well as the mastering. 

  This is an example of everyone in the Eclectic Collective adding just the right puzzle piece to form the bigger picture. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it. 

Original lyrics by Josh Clary:

Got a little baggie
Got a tank of gas
Now what I need from you 
Is to light a fire under my ass

Let’s put down our phones
And turn up the tunes
By now you know there’s nothing 
That we can’t get up to

Wherever we go 
That’s where I want to be
Just as long as 
I know I have
You there with me
Because
I’m down for anything x2
And you know that’s true
You know that’s true

Whatever you wanna do
Whatever we get up to 
I’m down for anything
Anything

With you I love to eat
But I never want to sleep
Because I don’t want to miss out 
On spending any time with you

When I hear you laugh
Or get excited with a gasp
You make my heart feel like
I just ran a lap

Let go on a run 
Or figure out some fun
Or jump in the car and drive to where 
The ocean meets the sun

Chorus repeats/Chorus reprise

When you hit me with those eyes
You know you hypnotize me
And just when I think you won’t 
You can still surprise me 

We’ve done it all before
Now let’s go do it all some more
Every day is a reward 
When I feel like I just scored

Lyrics:
No doors, no windows
Something has to be broken to get out
Stay with me just a little longer
Though friendship or love cannot create a way out

But the path is jagged
Travel over rough terrain
Sharpen yourself, again and again

Seared as if by live coals
Will you ever have the name?
Storms roll over to pass the time
In rain, we all dream the same

I was looked upon by the clear eyes of despair
A future died today, I was there

No time for pity or sadness
The reasons are not
No courage within to fight the fear
only dull resentment against his lot

Had been open hearted, had he?
The selfish are always happy
A half moon is brighter, my senses keep
A pain under the surface of sleep
causing uneven breathing to sweep
but not break the surface, it is too deep

A voice over the edge of the dream
Voices drifting from the garden below
"Come and be healed and be grilled
I'm raking the coals"

Goddess love and be healed by me
Corruption in the night, recognized again
For colors I didn't live, and stories I didn't see
In rain, we all dream the same

Their thigh is torn
Their figures spread ash and flame
Vigor pricked by a thorn
The nightmare of how we all dream the same

I didn't create
and I didn't stay (or decorate)
The frigidity diplomat just wouldn't go away
But behind my eyes was never only just for me
Is there no justice on which this someone I can disagree
Or some delight we make to blame
On all dreaming the same

Slowing down
The madness Bridge Schools
save the brain
He laid down and loved every moment of drool 
every instinct of pain
Every time he wept
and every time he slept
In the rain,
Dreaming how we all dream the same

So I got to ring in the new year doing what I love most... and that is making music of course!  This one is a new experiment featuring a fusion of moombathon , latin and EDM! Felt like it was time to do something relatively fresh and new ! As this is the year of a snake ( which I am one heheh)  I figured why not envision a snake making its way in the world? The cunning and wise ... She always gets her way.  And so I give you the first track of 2025! Let's hope this will truly be a better year than the last for everyone! Here's to all the snakes out there!  #my people # happy new year! 🐍 🐍 🐍 🎶 🎵 🎧 🍾 🥂

Music for listening and being

Empty Cross - electronic-guitar ambient music project (duet of two musicians, Maria and Albert) based in Lviv, Ukraine.

The sound of the project is a delicate ambient sound fabric, woven from shimmering reverberated guitars, soft analog synthesizers and harmonies, interspersed with minimalistic melodic piano phrases. In this sound space we place abstract vocal parts or vocalises, which become another instrument, creating a flow of intuitive states.
