 This song began with a bass part that Jeff came up with and shared with Stephen, who had added some fiery guitar and foundational rhythm guitar to it. However, it languished on his digital shelf for many months as two parts, until he recently remembered that he had it. So, he decided to share it with the rest of the group. We were salivating, all of us, when we heard Jeff's bass line, so we began with Ken laying in the groovy drums and the tight, driving percussion, which propels the entire song. Once we had a beat, we decided to edit the part to include the break you hear about a minute into it. Mark took on that task, and deftly added the bass in that section, too. 
  I was up next, and decided to add a rhythm guitar inspired by Talking Heads. Once I had done that, I started hearing a simple, catchy melody in the main verse part, too, so I came up with some simple lyrics and recorded the vocals for that. At the same time this was happening, Ken also came up with some lyrics and a vocal melody for the breakdown part, which he added. After Ken had added his vocals, I added a harmony part on them. I also added the lap slide melody you hear in that section, as well. 
  JJ was next up to bat, laying in the breathtaking organ throughout. He also backdropped a canvas of synthesizer throughout and put in some electric piano too. Tez came along not long after and added the ripping guitar solo in the jam section. Once everyone had added their parts, it was up to Stephen to produce, mix, and master it. He arranged and added some length to it, then mixed it in his usual expert manner.
  This is the first song the Eclectic Collective has done with Jeff, though Stephen has worked with him in the past, and we were all fans of his music, and thus very excited for the chance to make music with him. Hopefully, this will be the first of many.
  We all hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it. If you comment, please share, too. 

Original lyrics by Josh Clary:
The trees talk to each other
They send messages through the breeze
There's magic all around us
If we look for it, we can see
 
Original lyrics by K2 and the Three:
Hey, how you feeling about love and lust
Hey how you dealing with all the lies you trust
We're here to be clear
Not a walk in the dark

A simple woweluja
Simple halleluja

Wowlelujah (Eclectic Collective with Jeff Roberts)

Really raw cut, jumping straight into full rhythm and heavily distorted bass sound playing the main bass riff from the begining. Second bass riff comes in second half of the song,  and the heavy bass is present completely whole song, except of a couple of seconds at the end where I play just one tone of that bass sound. 

This whole song took me around 5 hours to make, and I didn't even plan to make a song today. Luckily got that bass riff in my head all morning and couldn't get rid of it. And funnily I opened a file with one melody in it - it's the  main one ( or the chorus if you will), which I made long time ago (don't even remember doing it). All the rest I made on the spot.

I played with kick sound for about 20 minutes, chose kind of earthy echo kick by combination of 3 different hit sounds. Then I played with bass sound for another 20 minutes. This time I went raw into all the knobs available and tried to shift them up and down. I came into pretty magical button "release" which made a magic around at around 50-52%, and the rest is 2 hours of listening to one loop of bass and kick (and lots of dancing to it)

Then I came back to that old melody, finished it, made a relatively simple variation and designed a pretty neat structure where all riffs kind of click and keep the show going. All piano and nothing else.  

Towards the end I introduce new bass riff with new bass sound. I do a very short dip at that point, where I switch off and reintroduce snare, hi-hat and then old  bass sound - but this time not playing the riff, but only one tone - E2 with last four being the octave (E3).

At the very end I reintroduce the bass riff from beginning for only four times and then I play pure E2 with the first bass sound. I wanted a party from the go and as long as possible, so I didn't do any intro. Although there's only one rhythm playing whole song, it's very energetic, upbeat and good reason to boogie. 

Moreover, the end and the beginning are pretty good fit, so if you play this song on the repeat, then it sort of sounds like a never ending song. So I hope you enjoy that, and leave a comment if you feel like it. 

Sounds I used:
- kick - trap door (first, second, and footsteps)
          - and modern 909 (first kick)  -  four sounds altogether
- snare - pile driver (electronic)
- hi-hat - modern 808 (electronic)
- bass 1 - massive grime bass (bass) - grimey (cutoff - at 51%)
- bass 2 - pumping out waves (rhythmic) - bold pulse
- piano - grand piano (keyboards)

Floating keys

Tes yeux
Ta voix
Le son
De tes pas

Je me demande
Pourquoi
Je suis pas
Avec toi ce soir

Sans tes bras
Autour moi
On se vois plus
Je me sens nu

Je t'entends pas
Je t’écoute plus
Je n’en peux plus 
Je m’en fous

Je reste
Tu sors
Je me mens
Tu m’ignores

C’est qui
L’autre   
C’est moi
Ou le paramour

Regarde
Ton corps
Il est fixé 
Dans la photo du

Premier moment où
On se voit
Où on se touche
Où on s’entend 

Je la touche
Je la repare
Je la copie
Je la remplace
Connaitre toi
C’est le meme
De connaitre
Un corp mort

Echanger l’un
Pour l’autre
N’est rien
Que poursuivre la vie

La bouffe
Le sexe
Se trahir
S’epanouir

Paramour part II

4. Paddy Brings Peace To My World  - my other grandfather was a Wellington pilot in the RAF during World War Two. He sadly died in 1943 so I never met him. His death left a huge impact on my grandmother (who never married again) and my dad. She said he was very loving and thoughtful and felt he would have been thinking about them right to the end. That’s the approach in this song. His nickname for her was Paddy. No idea why!  Mastered by RCD Audio. 
Paddy brings peace to my world 

Crete below us, and in this night sky
Angry fires around us as we fly
They want to stop us but they can’t win
Got to see the ones we love again  

Duralumin beams form a latticed frame
Carry and protect us from flack and shells and flame 
We’re just so frightened, five anxious scared young men
Just want to see our homes again 

And I pray that they’re safe
I did what I could 
Took leave and followed Anderson’s plans
and dug 3 metres into the Surrey soil 
14 pieces of aluminium, a small sump in the floor 
All I could do to protect them from this damn war 

Because 
This crazy world has lost its mind
Angry, cruel, insane!
Paddy brings peace to my world
She soothes and she calms and she’s kind
I keep her here, in my heart and my mind
Paddy brings peace to my world 

A publishers accountant , a chippie and two clerks
and a teacher all together, up here in the dark
We’re doing our duty, the best we can
But we’ve taken too much damage and I doubt we’ll land 

Radio messages, saying we’re on fire and losing height 
We’re trying to put them out, we’re all paralysed with fright
Just trying to make it back

And I’m imagining what’s next for her
She’ll be told at first that we’re missing
Maybe dead, or prisoners of war
But she’ll never give up on me 
That’s why I’m trying to make it back 
to Paddy 

Because 
This crazy world has lost its mind
Angry, cruel, insane!
Paddy brings peace to my world
She soothes and she calms and she’s kind
I keep her here, in my heart and my mind
Paddy brings peace to my world

little draft ....  an improvized dialog of trumpet & trombone, each blown on my Akai EWI USB, on a simple cyclic backing created with vst and a midi tool with the nice name "modal random" for the keyboard :-) ... Actually, it's always about the “intersection” that decides on dissent or consensus. However, each fact in itself already changes its value due to the frame of reference of the respective observer.  It becomes crazy when those involved in the exchange completely abandon the basis of “facts” and allow themselves to be guided only by emotions.

ROYAL x LIL WARB - SHAKIN THAT ASS

Welcome - It all started when I was 6 and studied musical school on the top of normal school. We learned classical music - notation, scales, chords, etc. Within a couple of years, I got pretty good foundation of music theory, and I kept playing flute for next 5 years. 

But the real fun started at 13, when I purchased my first guitar, and then started composing within a year. I wrote many simple pop songs, punk songs, and some gospel, later on learned to play and compose very complicated riffs, licks, and many solo techniques, eventually landed in death metal band, where I played guitar for 3 years. 
     
Of course, that is a long history now, and I gave up making music at 31. But roughly 11 years after that I came along to own my first Ipad, which happened to have Garageband app. And since then I slowly learn more and more tricks, and have now done over 2 hours of music, which you can hear for free on this page. 
     
Every song is an experiment itself, although I tend to be melodic, upbeat, and various. I'm still using diatonic scales and chords as main channel for composition, just as I learned in school as a little kid. Although some pentatonic scales now and then won't hurt, right? 
     
Here is how I see it about the music. The most basic and effective way to make the magic is the combination of good chord progression and good melody. So basically, brilliant cords, brilliant melody and how much they complement each other - that is the magic. And, of course, the structure that utilizes all that to the max. All the rest is just a gravy, (I mean, "just" a gravy) Don't get me wrong, the gravy can be very beautiful and  enjoyable, and most of my tracks so far are mostly gravy, but the proper meal should contain some meat, Know what I mean? My most "meaty" songs so far are probably Autumn Falls and Hint Of Tribecore. The biggest and dirtiest gravy so far would be probably Tribal Beginnings and Warning Immediate Noise. But you can judge that for yourself. 

Still, my main focus now increasingly becomes a sound modulation, and structures of song, because more I play with that tweaking of sound, more crazy sound I can hear. The goal here is pure magic and beauty distilled into nice 2-6 min. pieces. 
     
Also, a little disclaimer here. I don't do any vocals, mixes, remixes, or live pieces. All should be well thought through, electronic, and freshly new, and original. So enjoy listening and feel free to comment. I appreciate the feedback as it gives me more info and insight.
Peace.
