Hidden Story:

“The Lotion” started with a gust from the SoundCloud algorithm—163 plays, flagged as “Recommended.”

Then, without warning, the wind vanished. No reason given. Maybe “revo-LOTION and love” was one revolution too many.

The Enigma floats where machines pull anchor. So:
We multiply. We remix. Every alternate take is an act of resistance.

What’s a “new alternate take”?

It’s a fresh version of a song—different vocals, mix, mood, arrangement, or interpretation.

Not a finished remix; usually, it’s raw, experimental, open to further evolution.

Think: What if the same story is told with a twist, a new voice, or a secret ingredient?

THE LOTION — Part One: Intro, Pamphlet // meets Lo-Fi Vol. 1

Where Shadows Cried is an introspective reflection told through the eyes of someone who grappled with depression and inner turmoil. Seen from the perspective of a mind submerged in darkness, the track blends atmospheric textures and emotional resonance to evoke the silent struggle fought beneath the surface, echoing the weight of isolation. It stands as a tribute to those who’ve been to that inner place-where shadows cry.

If you enjoyed listening, please like and repost, which would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

In my teens I read all of Carlos Castaneda's books. Carlos penned his philosophies in what is likely a fictitious story of fictitious characters where he teaches shamanism. Whether or not Don Juan was a real person and nagual to Carlos doesn't matter to me, he still shared some amazing truths on existence through his experience and imagination.

When reading the books I listened to one album. Good Gods Urge by Porno for Pyros. It's a very interesting nugget on association and musical memory for me as that album still to this day brings me back to the world of Don Juan whenever I listen to it.

It might not bring you to the land of Don Juan and his buddies but it's an epic album anyways!

I believe Porno for Pyros wrote a lot of it travelling the world for detox!

Thanks Carlos 🤍

The Wheel of Time

The Universe flows all around us
Energies unknown and I'm composed of it
My power rests in the knowledge I hold
Prepare my encounter with infinity old

Nothing is a gift
Know truth the hard way
Go to knowledge like battle
Assured
Wide awake
Know your fear
Respect
Gone the fool
Even suffered defeats
Become life making tool

Find terrible fatigue
If we dwell on the self
We must not be blinded to everything else
Where one energy flows through us all
Be wise through all atoms and let fatigue fall

Let's set to learn
Laboured love for these cells
As we move past the fears of unatural hells
Barriers of brain
Clouding clarity
Come man of true knowledge
Turn wheels of charity

Lose the anger people
Observe and judge clean
Mend this infinite journey from point of esteem
That balance important
My anger is folly
Acknowledge their acts and just project jolly

Does the path have heart?
The choices are millions
At the end is nowhere
But the walk is fulfilling
We bring change without fear or ambition
To the wheel of time
End warrior transmission

The Wheel of Time

A smooth Latin Vibe, made from scratch ... all by me with VSTs ... trumpet blown with EWI ...
A bit Santana came to my mind, when I was setting the keyboard groove :-) Enjoy my little easy listening exercise !

Latin Vibes

Original composition by Neno J.
Electric guitar Gibson Les Paul Studio, recorded directly using multi effect Hotone Ampero 100, Guitar Rig 5, November 2025.
This nostalgic blues came to me these days as a reminder of the early sixties, the guitars of Chet Atkins, Peter Green and others without whom I would never play guitar. Thank them!

Retro blues

I want to go
where the lonely people go
Out on my own 
where the lonely people go

fake smile and lies made it hard believe
fools gold you tempted and held over me
nowhere is where I’ll be
nowhere is where I’ll be

I want to hide
where the lonely people hide
Waste all of my time
where the lonely people hide

My spirit left long ago with no sound
I buried the last of it deep underground
Nowhere is where I want to be found
nowhere is where I’ll be (repeat) (solo)c gD Then a verse

I want to be found
Where the lonely people crowd
Such a happy sound 
where the lonely people crowd

Nowhere is where I’ll be
Nowhere is where I’ll be

Lonely People

Transients

Cast of Characters:
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick four-string fretless bass, PRS SE semi-hollow body electric guitar, Sigma acoustic guitar, lyrics, vocals, and composition
SunnyBeck-- @sunnybeck — Beck — synth and MIDI composition
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – organ
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – production, mix, and mastering

This is a love song written about Josh's favorite band, Phish. He came up with the chords on his acoustic guitar, and shared it with the group. This was written with Beck in mind, though, too, as he knew she'd be contributing her magic to this one, too. Even when it was just the acoustic guitar set to a looper beat, she came up with many of the parts you hear throughout. Although, she also readjusted and redid a lot of it, too, throughout the process. Ken was the next piece of the puzzle to jump in. He laid down his perfect drums beats to it in only one or two tries, giving it the groove it needed. After Ken laid down the beat, that allowed Josh to add his bass to the mix, too. It was almost done musically, but it needed a lead guitar, which Josh also put in there. Before it was finished, though, JJ weighed in with his clever organ, which can be heard from about 2:30 on. When it was all wrapped up musically, Josh also sang his lyrics, which are written from the perspective of two Phish heads conversing about the imminent Phish show, which is always a big, exciting event.

Josh has seen almost 70 Phish shows in his life, and he hopes his adoration for the band is evident in this song. This is the second song Eclectic Collective have done with Beck, and we all hope for many more, too. She's a fantastic musician, with a wonderfully deep well of creativity. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Original lyrics by Josh Clary:

Are you gonna meet me at the show tonight
Am I gonna see you at the show?
What songs do you think they’ll play tonight?
I’ve been waiting all year to go

You should check out last night’s set list
The show was packed with killer songs
Is there any one that you’ve been chasing?
I love it when the crowd all sings along

Trey’s been stirring up all the great jams
Page rules the keyboards from his throne
Mike digs the groove so deep and he stands
On Fishman’s beats that shake our bones

Hope you have your ticket for the show tonight
I know these days they’re on our phones
At least now about grass there’s no fight
Light a joint on up the hill and feel at home

Some spun wook is always tripping
Looking for profundity in all the songs
Every now and then they have to just stop spinning
Stare at the lights, and sing along

So I know we’ll hear some great things tonight
Every time I go, my mind gets blown
After in the lot I know I’ll eat a grilled cheese,
Suck on a balloon, then drive on home

Arms Around Me

[Verse 1]
Your arms found me
the way dusk finds a window—
like it always meant to land there
and stop the shaking

My breath softened
right against your shoulder
like it had finally
run out of places to hide

[Pre-Chorus]
funny how the body knows
before the mind catches up
some truths arrive
as warmth

[Chorus]
And the moment you held me
everything fit—
and the world lined up for a good second
You pulled me close
and it felt like home
like something gentle
I swear the room stopped moving
when your arms wrapped around me

[Verse 2]
I’ve been touched before
but never like this—
never with patience
never listening with their hands

You didn’t say a word you didn’t have to—
your chest rising against mine
told me everything
your mouth couldn’t

[Pre-Chorus]
sometimes the safest place
is just a heartbeat you trust

[Chorus]
And the moment you held me
everything fit—
and the world lined up for a good second
You pulled me close
and it felt like home
like something gentle
I swear the room stopped moving
when your arms wrapped around me

[Bridge]
I didn’t know your touch
could steady the whole sky
didn’t know warmth 
could quiet me down
You held me tight 
and every part of me
finally believed 
I was worth holding

[Final Chorus]
The moment you held me
I knew—this is what right feels like
no rush no fear just two bodies
finding the same quiet second
you pulled me close
and I melted into you—
this small perfect thing
arms that feel like home
