very emotional.. vocals create the perfect atmosphere to dig right into the story.. leadguitar ,Piano and percussion round it up..it's a pleasure to listen!

A beautiful song, so different to Water to Wine but as spectacular and outstanding in this Genre. Johnny

What old people like me used to call a concept album! :-) 

See the individual track captions for some hints of the evolving story of AI space craft, Stardust, from her creation to an end, of sorts, and perhaps a new beginning..

I'm planning to build out a more complete back story, in the future, so DM me if you'd like to hear more, when I do ..:-) 

cheers

Stories of Stardust

Not Lonely When Alone - original version

An AI supported rework of my Stardust track, and the opening track of the Stories of Stardust album.  Hope you enjoy the space opera ! :-)

..JaSON a new-gen interface and communication AI, jaded by a world stifled in sameness, encounters something new and incredible - inspiration ! ...

Stardust - The Story Begins

Strong Female Lead EDM track, continuing the journey through the Stories of Stardust album.

"..You're a machine!  How could you begin to know how I feel?..."  Arla meets an unexpected companion on her journey to the stars....

Lady Liberty

Part of the scene setting for the Stories of Stardust album.  A thoughtful alternative rock track with a strong female vocal lead...

..Arla is a refugee. Harassed and displaced from one "safe" location to another, in an ever more crowded, depleted and polluted world, there is finally only one place left to venture....

New Horizons - Arla’s Song

Continuing the Stardust series, with a reflective EDM/ alternative rock track.  

...Arla and the refugees arrive at their beautiful new home, with hopes for a bright new future - but is it all that it appears?...

A Place Called Home

A narrative bridge in the Stories of Stardust playlist:

...an unknown threat emerges, which could shatter everything the refuguees have strived for ..Stardust must act..

Part II - Fractured Frontier

A final reflective piece, from the Stories of Stardust album, looking back at Arla, JaSON and Stardust's story. 

Arla and the refugees kept their promise and built their new world, for others to continue their own stories.  JaSON has left to follow an ancient echo and perhaps to find his own destiny.  And what of Stardust?  

If you'd like to hear more about the back story for this album DM me.  My plans are to turn it into a short story, in the future..

Among The Stars - Epilogue (A Place Called Home reprise)

It's called "Plug & Play" because I plugged my SG into my Marshall...and played. All one take, including some fun string noise. I created the jam track, which is really just me playing a bass groove along with a drum loop. I hope you enjoy. It was sure fun to play.

Plug & Play

This song expresses the possibility of a new path forward in the midst of struggling to come to terms with a very sad breakup.

The structure is designed to connect to the future, so that the possibility of charting a new path is continuous.

This is an original track.
I recorded the guitar, bass, piano and drums myself.Some elements like certain string parts, ambient sounds, and subtle adjustments were programmed using MIDI — although some of the string sounds were also played and recorded using an electric piano.
This track features vocals by Koharu Rikka (小春六花) using Synthesizer V.


Thank you so much for listening!


The lyrics are as follows (Japanese):
消えてゆく場所はここにあるの？
もう一度会うことも言うこともできないの？

始まりの終わりが何かを
告げて　涙に変えゆく
永遠の言葉はいつでも
儚く途切れて　新たな道を描く

色褪せた過去の傷を背負い
夢の跡抱きしめて遥かなる道に立つ

始まりの終わりが何かを
告げて　姿を消しゆく
永遠の言葉はいつでも
儚く途切れて　新たな道を繋ぐ

the End of the Beginning

J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – electric piano 

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

Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark –- percussion, VST flute, and production editing

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen — production, mix, and mastering

This song began more than a year ago, when Josh created a song out of a looper beat with his four string fretless bass. It sat on the shelf until a few weeks ago, when he shared it with JJ, who was in creative mode one Saturday evening. Josh had actually forgotten that he'd added a bass line to it, and thought he was just passing on a looper beat for JJ to play with. 

  However, JJ heard it, and was so excited that added his magical electric piano part, making it sound like a real song, instead of just drums and a bass. Ken also heard some magic in here, because he came up with his own brilliant beat to replace the looper that was used in for the seed. Mark was next to throw in, adding the striking drum pattern breakdown, and the thrilling flute solo, as well. Tez came in shortly after, adding his thrilling guitar to the mix. After everyone had added their parts, Josh came back and added two guitar parts, the simple low end line, as well as the high strumed triads. At this stage, Mark did some editing, as it is in his skill set, and made it less dense and easier to listen to. 

  Now that the song was musically complete, out newest member, Carl, dropped the amazing vocals you hear, singing his original lyrics. After Carl was done sprinkling his magic in it, we needed an able producer to bring out the magic of the recordings. Good thing we have a trained producer to do the job in Stephen, who mixed and mastered it superbly, as always. 

  This is Eclectic Collective's first fore into the afrobeat genre, although a few of us are really big fans already, and Josh has a few other originals in this genre buried on his page, as well. As always, we all enjoyed the process of hearing this one come together. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.

Juice our Jah
Chalice of chime
Shooting star
Great rhythm
There's blood in the brine

Suture Sun
Grand heaven high
'Some clan gone cruel
Needing collective eye

Eclectic host
Hoist our hale
Mused healing feast
Musical breeze as gale

Afro beat
Oh melody sweet
Beat afro
Show us where to go

*** WATCH OUT FOR NEW SOUNDTRACK RELEASE, SELENE, OUT 31st  OCTOBER!!***

What a great place Soundcloud is !  I can honestly say I never imagined there were so many talented and generous artists, composers and producers,  to be found in one place!  It's been my very great pleasure to meet and collaborate with some of you, already, out there in the WWW,  and I hope many more in the future! 

I've written and recorded music since I was a teenager  (... that's a long time ago!!) and about half the tracks posted here are purely my own work. I also experimented, for a while,  with A.I. supported music, which I used to help build up a Sci Fi "concept album" (for those that remember them!) titled "Stories of Stardust", released 26th Feb 2025.  

A.I music can be a divisive topic, but I've no wish to use it as a replacement for human musical talent, and going forward I'm back to  working  with real people again. That's where the magic is to be found!  Which brings me to....

Collab is ALWAYS welcome!!  In fact it's my favourite way to work - check out my Collabs playlist for some recent examples!  Really enjoyed working with these talented artists!!   

For me the collab journey is only just starting so please (please)  gimme a shout if you think we could work together in the future! 

cheers, and keep the music playing !!
