ELECTRIC STORMS

DRUMAX No. 72 // ELECTRIC STORMS

“Labyrinthine - for Violin and Piano" was completed in August 2025 in Fairview, TX. Performance time is about 16 minutes. Printed and electronic copies of the score and parts will be available soon from www.CreativeSpiritOnline.com. The work is in one movement.

About this recording:
The engraving and virtual recording were produced using Dorico Pro 6. For the best listening experience, high quality headphones are recommended. This recording was mastered by EMastered.

Performance notes:
• Tempo, expression, and dynamic markings should be strictly observed.
• There is no key signature. Accidentals apply to the end of the measure or to the note or notes tied over the measure, and only to notes of the same pitch class, in the same octave.
• Hairpin pairs indicate a temporary volume change of one dynamic level.

The meaning of "labyrinthine" in this work:
•    Complex structure:  The term "labyrinthine" is used to describe compositions that have a complex, intricate, and difficult-to-follow structure, like a maze.
•   Intricate harmony:  Some pieces labeled "labyrinthine" feature dense harmonic systems that can be challenging for the performer to learn and understand.
•   Sense of searching:  The term can also describe a piece that creates a feeling of searching or wandering, as the music seems to pursue an elusive goal.
•   Resolution:  Despite the initial complexity, these sonatas often have a sense of logical development that eventually leads to a resolution or a clear conclusion.

TRC #2

When everything happens at once
And you can’t handle it at all
You see the writing on the wall
In letters 20 feet tall
Blue skies are turning grey

But you can’t wish your life away
Just hoping for a better day
You need to find
Some peace of mind
A state of zen
To keep you from
The bridge tonight
And the fateful flight

Don’t look down
Just take a look around
And see the open arms
They want to hold you close
To never let you go again
Let this feeling go
Never to return



Don't Look Down

Every wee boy wants to be James Bond. lol 

Suit made of plaid , tuxedo man
Looking oh so grand
Got that crooked smile
Walkin' down the aisle

What's he hiding
What's inside him
Tartan tuxedo
Is it for show

He sips his sparkling wine
Pretends everything is fine
But his eyes they tell a tale
A lonely windy wail

What's he hiding
What's inside him
Tartan tuxedo
Is it for show

Maybe he's a spy a secret agent man
Maybe he's just shy part of a bigger plan
We may never know the truth beneath the seams
Just a man in tartan living out his dreams

What's he hiding
What's inside him
Tartan tuxedo
Is it for show

[Verse 1]
There’s a weight in the doorway,
Pressing in with every breath.
I see the pull of the darkness
Trying to draw me into its depth.
You wait for a break in my armor,
Some signal I’m losing control—
But I hold to the silence inside me,
The only place I stay whole.

[Pre-Chorus]
No whispers.
No warnings.
Just a steady pulse that refuses to fade.

[Chorus]
Where the quiet stands, I stand.
Where the chaos claws, I hold.
I won’t feed the rising noise.
I won’t fold or be controlled.
Where the quiet stands, I stand.
Even when the dark expands.

[Verse 2]
Shadows move in the corners,
Calling out what I’ve tried to forget.
Their voices sharpen and circle,
Growing bold, growing wet.
You search for a tremor in my stance,
Some proof that I’m drifting away—
But the silence keeps burning in my chest,
Cold and sharp, but it stays.

[Pre-Chorus]
No trembling.
No turning.
Just a line inside I refuse to break.

[Chorus]
Where the quiet stands, I stand.
Where the chaos claws, I hold.
I won’t feed the rising noise.
I won’t fold or be controlled.
Where the quiet stands, I stand.
Even when the dark expands.

[Bridge]
If the world collapses, I remain.
If the ground gives way, I remain.
If the dark takes aim at my name,
I remain.
I remain.
[Pre-Chorus]
No trembling.
No turning.
Just a line inside I refuse to break.


[Final Chorus]
Where the quiet stands, I stand.
Where the chaos claws, I hold.
I won’t feed the rising noise.
I won’t fold or be controlled.
Where the quiet stands, I stand.
Even when the dark expands.

I Remain

This song began with Chris composing it with his synth, guitar, drum pad and bass. Like many of his songs, it was pretty well formed before the rest of the group got a hold of it. This song was part of a load of songs he shared with the rest of Eclectic Collective all at once. We've been picking them off one by one, though, as we're always grateful to Chris for sharing his magic with us.
  The odd sound of the rhythmic melody, which uses chromatic walks, immediately caught Josh's ears. It struck him as something the Doors might have come up with. So, he set about replacing Chris' simple bass line with something fancier, as well as coming up with the lead guitar for the whole thing, and the lyrics and vocals, as well. Josh was really taken with this one, and heard all kinds of parts in it almost immediately. Ken went to bat next, adding his innovative, John Densmore-like drums to it, replacing Chris' initial rhythmic idea. JJ came next and added the essential piano you hear throughout. After that, Mark found a place for his amazing bassoon/harpsicord solo in the middle. But before it was all over, Chris also added some doubled vocals, too, to actualize the lyrics, which are about two friends taking an acid trip together. 
  After it was all laid down, we asked Tez to mix it for us, which he did in his expert fashion, as always.
  This is our latest song composed by Chris, and we love working on his music. If you dig this, you should pay his page a visit, too, as it's full of diamonds. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it. 
Original lyrics by Josh Clary:
Come take a trip with me and together we will see
Into the end
Of time
That you are also me 
And I am also you
We’re in the soup
And in a loop

Underneath your skin 
You’re the same as I
Yet we strive  
To divide
If you want to blur the lines
Just dislodge yourself from time
Let’s fly
Let ego die


We’ll discover what is hidden,
And know why it’s forbidden 
So hold tight 
To what’s right
Just come along with me
And together we can see
Use the light 
Of night

You are also me and I am also you
It’s true
We’re in the stew
I am also you and you are also me
Just look inside 
And see
  
Just feel your temples squeeze
And put your mind at ease
And tune in
To my vibe
You can come along 
Just listen to the song
And melt 
With me

Down and down we go
We should take it slow
Unless we can’t 
We’re all ants
 I knew that we’d have fun
I knew you were the one
To do this with
Now we’re a myth

We could go all night 
Until the sun is bright
It’s a long 
Long ride

You are also me and I am also you
It’s true
We’re in the stew
I am also you and you are also me
Just look inside
And see

You Are Also Me (The Eclectic Collective)

memories

VERSE 1 
I drew a picture of the sky 
On the back of a grocery store receipt 
Tried to fold it into wings 
But it fell down at my feet

PRECHORUS 
There’s a world inside my head 
No one else ever sees 
It’s under lock and key 
With my broke melodies
 
CHORUS 
But I still dream 
Of something clean 
A place where I can finally breathe 
And I still hope 
Though I know 
These paper wings can’t carry me

VERSE 2 
Coffee cold and letters burned 
I never learned how to say goodbye 
I was chasing tiny sparks 
That faded right before my eyes

PRECHORUS 
All the roads I thought were mine 
Led me where I can’t stay 
But I keep walking on 
Hoping I’ll find my way
 
CHORUS 
Cause I still dream 
Of something clean 
A place where I can finally breathe 
And I still hope 
Though I know 
These paper wings can’t carry me
 
And I still dream 
Of something clean 
A light that cuts through everything 
And I still hope 
Though I know 
My paper wings might never leave the street

Paper Wings
