Name: BILLIONAIRE PLAYBOYS (PERSUADING THE PERSUADERS) by STEVEN VELLOU HORNE & AUDIOBAKE collaborations
Duration: 3 min 15 s
Description: I don't spend time thinking about what I create, no formulas, no recipes, no planning, no genre in mind, I just go wherever the first few notes take me, pretty much improvised; I tend to go with the first idea that pops into my head, judge for yourself how that pans out!

Tapping & Tooling!  Exotic shaker! >> #!!!  Love the addictive rhythm!

This song began with Stephen, who recorded it on his acoustic guitar and bass to a programmed drum track a few months ago. We were all thrilled to work on it, even though it sat in BandLab as a project for almost a month before Stephen separated the tracks, thus allowing us to trickle in our parts. JJ was first to jump on it, because he could before the tracks were separated, as his part is completely his idea. He added the organ that really set up the entire sound of both dominant sections of the song. 
  Ken was first up to the project once the tracks were replaceable, making the wild, driving beat his own. Inspired by both JPJ and Michael Ivins, Josh laid down his bass line, trying to match Ken's energy. Last, but not least, Mark jumped in with the rumbling timpani. He also added the flavorful harmonica, and unique jaw harp you hear throughout, as well. Finally, Stephen also got the idea to add the hambone percussion at the very end of the song, which we all consider a treat, and after showing us how it's done, Mark volunteered his percussion skills to give it a go. Stephen wasn't done, though, and still had some magic to sprinkle. He went in and added the howling electric guitar you hear prominently in the second main section. Also, he added the tempting intro with his acoustic guitar and electric mandolin. 
  Once it was in the bag, we thought it appropriate for our master mixer Stephen to put it to bed, which he did in his always expert manner.
  This is a gift from Stephen to all of us, and you, too. It took a lot of teamwork to make the dream work, as always for Eclectic Collective. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Tomorrow is Yesterday

Cast of characters:

K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–piano, drums, and composition

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– Gibson Les Paul electric guitar, mix, mastering, and production

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick fretless four string bass, mandolin, and synth

Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender Stratocaster electric guitar

Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark – symphonic VST instruments including flute and horns, vocal effects, and bells

This song began on the last day of the cold January of this year, when Ken sat down at his piano and recorded an improvisational jam. This is the first song Eclectic Collective has done where Ken started it with a piano, so we were all very excited to work on it.

Josh was the first one to add a part, adding his fretless bass guitar, and going back and forth with Ken, while he added the drums to match the groove up right. Josh also added the mandolin after the guitars were laid down, as well as the descending synth blasts you hear throughout. Before all that, though, Stephen recorded the first half of the thrilling guitar you hear in there. After Stephen had his part down, Tez came along and finished the guitar work in the second part. Last, but certainly not least, Mark added the amazing symphonic elements, specifically the horns and flute you hear in there. He also added the cold January wind, represented by his breath and some tinkling bells.

Once it was all wrapped up, we asked Stephen to put a bow on it with his expert production, which he came through with, as always.

As mentioned, this is an extraordinary offering from EC, starring Ken not only on drums, but on the keys, as well. It felt like we were jamming all together in the same room, and hope it comes across that way. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

This is an original song I recorded some years ago that describes the transition when seeing your son come of age as you (the parent) has to let go and adjust to a changed role in his life. Some regrets occur, thinking that the time to do certain things with your child has come and gone, perhaps you could/should have done more.
This was recorded back when I wrote it, so my recording techniques were not very advanced and I lost the master, left with just an MP3. I want to thank Nat Daniels and her production skills for helping make the most of improving the sound, although there was only limited opportunity to undo all its flaws. She also added some lovely piano parts to help replace many of my original xylophone parts which had faded considerably. Despite the rough quality, I hope the sentiment conveys. (note: Neddu was a nickname my son was given during his infancy which should help explain the lyrics)

Lyrics:  Written by Craig Durgy
You won’t need me as you walk out that door
These eighteen years were what a father’s for
But change is not an ending
You know that I’ll be sending my love

Can’t help but feel regrets, a childhood's gone
Lost chances sometimes hit as you move on
I guess that it’s just me though, 
It was just meant to be, so go
And I’ll watch Neddu grow

I still can see you, coming in this world
Red, blue and green, you cried, your flag unfurled
We played, explored together, 
And Mom how you upset her so
Just watching Neddu grow

That day you ran out in the pouring rain
And dashed head first to surf those flooded drains
The raging storm soon hid you
I wondered Ned where did you go

And still a glimpse of all our backyard games
Now all your friends converge, just not the same
I stand here washing dishes, a man here watching wishes blow
Away as Neddu grows

I still can see you, coming in this world
Red, blue and green, you cried, your flag unfurled
We played, explored together, 
And Mom how you upset her so
Just watching Neddu grow

Watching My Son Grow

We rode the waves of distant stars
Through cosmic realms, both near and far
Chasing tales of worlds unknown
In twilight's grip, our souls are shown
The whispers of a universe, it sings
As planets turn and freedom brings

So let the journey start anew
We'll find the light that comes to view
Through astral fields, our spirits soar
Together we will explore once more

In swirling galaxies, we immerse
With every heartbeat, we converse
The colors dance, a vibrant scheme
As nebulae ignite our dreams
Lifting higher on each refrain
Connected hearts will break the chain

So let the journey start anew
We'll find the light that comes to view
Through astral fields, our spirits soar
Together we will explore once more

In silence, we discover space
Where time bends, and shadows trace
A melody of cosmic grace
Together in this timeless place

So let the journey start anew
We'll find the light that comes to view
Through astral fields, our spirits soar
Together we will explore once more....more...more...

Norwegian Lyrics:

1
Æ lage mange sanga for å uttrykke mæ sjøl
Og av og til e tekstan ganske mørk
Men når æ tenke på
De gode folkan i mitt liv
Da lage æ teksta med et smil...

2
Noen ganga føles livet vanskelig og tøft
Og probleman dukke opp i kø
Men når æ tenke på
De gode folkan i mitt liv
Blir tåran erstatta med et smil..

Chorus:
Selv om det regne og bilen går i stå
Vil det alltid finnes grunna til å le
Når æ tenke på
De gode folkan i mitt liv
Kan æ møte probleman med et smil!

3
På en regnfull dag skal æ minne mæ sjøl på
At æ e ganske heldig uansett
For når æ tenke på
De gode folkan i mitt liv
Har æ all grunn til å leve med et smil..

Chorus x 2
Selv om det regne og bilen går i stå
Vil det alltid finnes grunna til å le
Når æ tenke på de gode folkan i mitt liv
Kan æ møte probleman med et smil! :)
