There is clarity in the mix even with many layers.

I have listened to lots of tracks with Cecilia's vocals, and this is a successful job on them! Both timing and tone fit naturally with yours, in a vaporous soundscape... enjoyed!

@slamet-khoirul-anam: thanks so much, Farays! 👏🏻🔥 from both of us

Cecilia in the West - Looking For Solidarity

89_ This is my Cup of Coffee! - released on 14 October 2025

Look, don't look away! Don't say, "This is not my cup of tea!" Yes, stay true to yourself, but if something interests or bothers you, then ask questions, show interest, and maybe you can change something. For example, order a cup of coffee, say "This is my cup of coffee!" and at least think about it!😉

'shit at and hit'
Thanks to grandma Billie for the phrase. A wonderful woman. I've yet to hear of this phrase existing prior, nor of it from anyone else since.
Scotty: Two yamaha storia II takes through a fender mustang III amp with differing fx, channeled accordingly, maybe, hopefully, and a handful of vocal takes layered. 

I can't get up today.
I've got no words to say.
Everything always replays,
and causes me dismay. 

I feel like I've been shot at and missed, and shit at and fucking hit. 

If there is a god,
why the fuck would they
make us in the mould
to have to feel this way?
Everyday.

shit at and hit

It was a pleasure to Create and Collaborate again with 'D'. This time a track to portray Love vibe and Good Energy to Our Planet Earth with emphasis on the 4 Elements.

Earth, Air, Fire and Water, Naturally, came to mind to write and sing these words whilst accompanying D's wonderful and unique Guitar sound!

I hope you enjoy Listening, and that the Music spreads a Positive Energy and Feeling to help the Mind, Body and Soul...within Elemental Truth of Planet Earth. For Freedom🙏Rae-D8 Balance and Infinity. Thanks again 'D'

Lyrics
Elements of Freedom:🌍

Be brave with our Fire of Transformation
And the Air of Change and Communication
And our Water flowing with Intuition
For our True Souls to see Fruition
We move on through the Ages
To break out and Say

Bring on Earth of Freedom
Traitors we don't need 'em
Keep our Fire Burnin'
Earth will keep on Turnin' yeah

Yeah we Move On, we Move On
With the Ages
To break Out, to break Out
Of these Cages

Say Bring on Earth of Freedom
Breathe in Air of Freedom
Keep our Fires Burnin'
Earth will Keep On Turnin' yeah

Water, Deep and Flowin'
Earth and Fire of Knowin'

❤️🙏🌍

Guess What, The Colonials Never Left - Now You Know // Bright Night Mix

A Perfect World

Cast of Characters:
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Fender Precision bass and Gibson SG electric guitar
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums
The Beautiful Dark -- @thebeautifuldark -- Carl -- vocals
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – organ and piano
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark –- VST string and VST sax
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen — Tom Anderson custom T model electric guitar, production, mix, and mastering
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Epiphone Les Paul electric guitar

This cover of the CCR version of this Screaming Jay Hawkins classic began as an idea Josh had for Eclectic Collective putting on a musical Halloween costume. He was inspired by his favorite band, Phish, who cover an entire album every Halloween as a musical costume. Although, which song we covered was up for debate from the start. 
  Once we decided on a song, Josh laid down the skeleton for it on his '71 SG. Once we had a framework to work with, Ken laid down his rocking drums, followed by Josh completing the rhythm section by adding his trusty P-bass. Even though the song was now in its infancy, Carl summoned all his Halloween spirit for his dynamic vocal performance.  
  Now that it was sounding like a real song, JJ dropped both the key piano part, as well as his expressive organ in there, too. Mark wasn't far behind, adding his magic via the sax to the solo section, and strings in the third verse. Stephen came through with the spooky tremolo guitar and the fiery first half of the guitar solo in the solo section right after. And to put the cherry on the musical sundae, Tez brought the lightning down for the second half of the guitar solo, as well as the solo work that leads the whole way to the end.
  We all enjoyed bringing this classic song back to life, and doing it in the spirit of what may be the most fun holiday on the callendar. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it. Happy Halloween!

Call Me Abbey

AI Generated lyrics about "Witty Vibes" focusing on the internal experience of being witty.   Through spoken word I have created a speaker persona whose mind runs much faster than ordinary conversation, treating social interaction as a rapid fire mental chess game.    Through rhythmic repetition and strong metaphors, by comparing rebuttal to a tailored suit, i have attempted to give production a dynamically sharp energy that irectly reflects the vibe of "Witty Vibes"

They call it small talk. I call it The preamble to the good stuff, the atmospheric hum. While you’re discussing weather and where your cousin’s coming from, My brain is already five moves ahead, sketching a diagram of the punchline. I’m running a mental marathon on a coffee-break timeline.
See, the silence—that's a vacuum. I can't abide a void. So I fill it with a phrase that's perfectly annoyed, Or one that shines so bright, it gets immediately employed By everyone who hears it. My thoughts? They are unalloyed. No filter. Just precision. That’s the witty vibe.
The world moves in slow motion for the quick-minded mind. I'm watching the geometry of conversation unwind. You say A, I hear B, I've already set the trap. My rebuttal is a tailored suit, yours is a hand-me-down cap.
I'm the editor of the moment. I cut the cliché out. I delete the mundane, the things you think you care about. The pause before I speak? That’s not hesitation, friend, That’s me scrolling through ten options, deciding on the best blend Of sarcasm and truth, the kind that hits with grace, The verbal equivalent of a smile slapped on your face.
I've got an internal rhyming dictionary, always ready to deploy a perfect auxiliary.
They say, "Don't overthink it." I say, "How else do you pre-think it?" You only get one shot to sink it. You’re asking me to shrink it? My intellect? To dim it? To make the edges soft? No, the challenge is to make the brilliance readable and aloft.
I speak in metaphors that bite, not just to sound profound, But because the simple truth is often too loud for dry ground. So I dress it up in cleverness, a suit of sparkling chainmail, So when the insight strikes you, it hits like a witty hailstorm.
I'm an observer. I take notes. I catalog the quirks. The way you hold your coffee, the moment that your temper works. The flaws are the fuel, the humanity's engine oil. And my wit is the high-octane spirit that brings it to a boil.
So if my timing's unexpected, or the laugh tracks the beat, It’s not me trying to show off, it’s just my mind running on fast feet. This cognitive caffeine is the only way I survive. The rhythm of the retort. That's the core of the witty vibe.

You Say A, I Hear B

[I accidentally removed the track. Sorry about that - those who have already listened can just move on.]
Unfortunately, the connection has dropped, and we cannot be sure what is happening in the apartment where, at such a late hour, the light is still on. Probably nothing; they’re likely watching a film or reading a book. They might be projecting their reactions outward, and what we see could therefore be nothing more than the reflection of someone else’s nightmares — or dreams. Certainly, we have now reached a turning point: nothing can any longer be regarded as real, or the opposite... (all talk!).

This is the fifth in a series of eight easy, acoustic, rather short, and deliberately inconclusive tracks, assembled by combining new ideas with reworked older material, adding parts and sounds along the way. 

Part 1 here: https://soundcloud.com/michele-ansani/in-case-nothing-happens-part-1-night
Part 2 here: https://soundcloud.com/michele-ansani/in-case-nothing-happens-part-2-dawn
Part 3 here: https://soundcloud.com/michele-ansani/in-case-nothing-happens-part-3-noon
Part 4 here: https://soundcloud.com/michele-ansani/in-case-nothing-happens-part-4-late-afternoon

Composed by Michele Ansani (2023-2025). This time I simply redid a piece I had posted in the spring of last year, slightly changing the atmosphere: https://soundcloud.com/michele-ansani/overlays
All the ambient noises and female vocals are taken from public sound archives.
Posted on Souncloud: 2025, October 16 and reposted on November 4.
