Always love dipping into these old piano and voice pieces...8 years ago!  Wonder what we'll all be doing in 8 year's time?  On second thoughts, best not to dwell on those kind of thoughts...

the same beautiful spirit and energy eight years ago.  you are a musical force Mr. Manuel

@user-138663860: We're fine, thank you, best regards to you and your mom too !!

Very nice main theme and an interesting structure

Can you name a oldie-goldie Electronica song this one is dedicated to? Early space-electronic music lover could tell one of my fave track by the name ... maybe by the vibe? In the video clip four dudes dressed up into space suites and helmets (nope, not Daft Punk, but well French). One holding and playing Moog Model D on his laps. Just like the one you hear here. Always wanted to play Space music! 

When playing this track I came across documentary discovering a trace they  spotted from above. It was left by some magic object flying over in between poles in a matter of minutes. What is it?

Special blend of Moog Model D and Arturia Pigments on lead. Korg ARP2600m, more Pigments, MiniV3, plus UAD Opal synth. Mastered with FabFilters. UADx, IK, Ableton Live 12. As always the new and a dozen other tracks are downloadable on my accounts, thanks!

Funky Music But Not As You Know It

Cast of Characters:

cgmaness-- @user-419254289-15129531 – Chris – guitar intro

The Eclectic Collective – composition

This song began with me coming up with the fonky-ass bass line and sharing it with everyone else. First up to bat was Ken, of course, who really matched the idea I had for the bass perfectly and gave it some flavor, too. Once we had a rhythm section solidified, Tez jumped in with the Kruangbin inspired arpeggios, and really gave the whole thing the flavor that it ended up with. Scotty followed soon after with his melodic/rhythmic leads that match his awesome vocal melodies. Next up was Stephen, who laid in the fiery solo towards the end, as well as some really trippy e-bowed guitar throughout. Then JJ came along and lit it up with his electric piano and synth. Finally, Chris came forward and added the distinct, exciting guitar intro. 
  Of course, we needed someone to produce and mix it, so we asked Tez to handle this one, which he did with his usual high wizardly magic. It is very gratifying to all of us to have Chris back in the mix on this one, as well as some upcoming releases, as well. This was the first time any of us has collaborated with Scotty, and we are thrilled that we finally got a chance. He's a creative, driven, and very agreeable musical partner, who's willing to work with us until we all get it right. We all hope this is just the first of many with him involved. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it. 

Original lyrics by Scotty:

Can't obtain no fucking mortgage. 
And I can't pay no fucking rent.
I would rather you probe me 
than get fucked by our government
who attempts to control me 
and put nonsense in my head.
Who would rather see me
livin' in debt or end up dead.
Come and take me away.
Beam me into space.
Fly me to a planet
where there exists no hate or greed.

Take me to Utopia.
Teach me all your ways.
Save me from dystopia.
It's time to turn the page.
Something better must exist
out there beyond the stars,
where everyone can love and live,
unlike what's become of ours.

Little Phoenix

Little Phoenix By Neli CoKo

Good evening to my SC friends. I hope life is treating you all well.

First thing I want to share… there is a reason why so many of my recent songs don’t include write-ups. I promised myself a long time ago I would search out positive and productive ideas, and only share those. But lately, I’m wasting a lot of time and energy dwelling in darker territories. It’s way too easy for my ego to jump on the ‘fear’ bandwagon (that’s happening to a lot of us these days); and I feel an intense responsibility to never use my writing abilities to spread more of that kind of thinking. 

Granted, I am also in a regular state of arguing with that very convincing voice, reminding it that it is only focusing on one perspective (the ‘fear’ one). That right there is gift number one… having a separate voice in my head, working diligently to raise the bar. And it’s a gift we all have; the voice that gently sits above the voice of the ego… reminding us ‘this is all about discovering the love in any given scenario’. The problem is, the ego can get noisy enough to mute that other voice; and it’s easy to forget it’s still there.

But when I achieve those moments of clarity, I laugh at how susceptible I am to my own negative thinking. What I really believe deep down is that (as experiential souls) we’re all actually doing great, and this is all going according to plan. 

I know, I know. Have I lost my mind? That can’t be possible, right? We can’t be ok? There is simply too much evidence to the contrary.

That ‘evidence’ is gift number two. Thanks to tools like the internet and social media, we can see this all happening live, everywhere, and all at once (including the now obvious lies). For the first time in documented history, anything you want to know is readily at your fingertips. 

Granted, the folks who want to control us understand human psychology well enough to use that information (drizzled in fear) to manipulate us… which seems like a bad thing. But I want to suggest it’s actually a good thing. Our hearts really only want to love (and be loved): and our ego can only take so much negative info before the body grows sick with that energy. Using a nightmare as an example… you’ll endure a lot in that sleeping state, until you reach a tipping point. And then you snap awake from the nightmare, cringe at how convincing it was, and tell yourself “I don’t ever want to experience that again. That was scary.” We need these nightmares for perspective. And the worse the nightmare gets, the more people are destined to wake up from it.

Here’s where my ideas get weird. Instead of fearing all those voices who are currently driving civilization to the brink (of who knows what, just yet). What if we thanked them. What if those frightened/frightening voices are inadvertently doing exactly what we need them to be doing… breaking the nightmare, by making it unbearable. These days, when someone tells me I need to be afraid, I immediately gravitate to the thought ‘what do you stand to gain by making me feel that way?” And that is usually enough to spark other ways of thinking. 

Simply speaking, we can determine the trustability of a message by determining its underlying energy: Fear = Bad, Love = Good. So many institutions want us to be afraid right now, and I genuinely question the motives behind anyone pushing that agenda. So yes, I thank politicians and religious leaders for forcing fears on us so relentlessly. You are waking us up faster than you realize; and while your precariously unsustainable structure won’t survive this awakening… the human race will. 

I hope you enjoy my latest sonic swirl, ‘Poly Ticks And The Powdered Keg’. :)

Poly Ticks And The Powdered Keg

Lyrics and chords:
Pat
 Am- F-C-G
Verse 1:
Her name is Theresa but everyone knows her as Pat
Her big sister wanted a little sister
The new baby would be known as Pat
And she would be the best little sister a girl could have

Am Em Bm F#m
Chorus:
So sweet
So cute
So kind
That is Pat indeed

Verse 2:
Alas her parents named her Theresa
But to her sister she was Pat
Her sister called her Pat from day one
Everyone else followed suit and she became known as Pat

Chorus

Bm-G-D-A
Verse 3:
She grew up into a wonderful woman
With six fine children
Each so special 
The best mother, sister, and Aunt one could have

You moved a because 
From Chicago to Texas
What a life you lived

Gm F#m Gm F#m

Pat
Pat I miss you

Chorus

Ésta también aparecerá en RELIQUIAS, también cambiada (una versión debe ser bien diferente de la original, si no no tiene mérito), ya veréis.
This one will also come up in RELIQUIAS; also very different as I think it should be for an interesting version.
