And the title is great and fitting! wonderful!

Ooh those are some spacy spicy enhancements! Excellent!

i like what you did with this.  cool experiment/idea :)

Most uinexpected, and most satisfying (and fun!)

Love the original track and hearing all the remixes!

Love the creativity and uniqueness of this tune and the way it brings in a hybrid sort of sound that incorporates some fantastic music elements and styles !! A fantastic melting pot of sonic fragments that all come together wonderfully-well here to make-up the totality of the production. Killah Kollab.

This song began as Carl's tribute poem to our drummer, Ken. Carl came up with the chord progression and started a project, to which he invited the rest of us. This is the third song Eclectic Collective has done that is a tribute by Carl to one of our members. We couldn't feel more honored than to be the subjects of his wild and boundless creativity.
Fittingly, Ken was first in line to add his magnificent drums. Once we had drums, Josh had something to work with to add his bass, which he did shortly after the drums were up. Mark paid the project a visit next, not only editing it to fit the cool drum and strings bridge, but supplying the VST timbale drums, as well. Stephen jumped in soon after, adding the melodic electric guitar riffs that appear throughout. Not to be outdone, JJ added the throwback psychedelic synth that pops up towards the end. Finally, Tez came along and added the electrifying solo that appears about a third of the way in, as well as the one at the end.
Once the recording was finished, we turned it over to Stephen to mix in his always professional manner.
This song is all about our very talented teammate and brother, Ken, and it is well deserved, too. As mentioned, this is the third song from Carl about one of us. It's hard to describe the feeling of having someone who you respect take the time and energy to think about you in such a positive way as to produce a song about you. Then to have all your buddies join in to amplify it to a solid song is just mind-blowing. We are all very grateful to Carl for not only sharing his music with us, but for his thoughtful consideration of each of us as subjects. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.
Original lyrics by The Perfect Dark:

Lyrics

Karakoram human
You decorate good future
As many lose their Gods
You stand tall as suture

Rhythmic mountain maestro
Each day, graft, working hard
So kids can eat
Bruised back see best of yard

Still, beats get born of evenings
Deep love finds joules to jam
May generation X soothe meaning
Let's teach the younger pussies what we can

To Ken, from pen, to page, to Music
To friends, Now is when, Good sage soup soothes us
Honest and brave, To Jesus he save
Kudos our maestro of percussive wave

(Delay the next verse for a short instrumental section of some kind here)

Karakoram human
You decorate good future
As many lose their Gods
You stand tall as suture
Sticks in hand
Cymbals a floating
Snare and bass backbone gland
Tom'ed Ringo Star man keep quoting
Keep life steady paced by hand

To Ken, from pen, to page, to Music
To friends, Now is when, Good sage soup soothes us
Honest and brave, To Jesus he save
Kudos our maestro of percussive wave

Listen to A Little Bruce Lee Goes A Long Way by Hand on the Rock on #SoundCloud
https://on.soundcloud.com/VfBTjH1PDx6SIDEcWZ

We inspire each other and it's so cool man.
Thanks Hand on the Rock. It was the seed of the above song that put the Bruce Lee Water in my head a while back. That's another little wonderful experience nugget that we can deliver eachother when expressing art and again if guessed by a computer you won't get those fine details and the cherries you choose won't be yours. That cherry is ours because we experienced it together. It was real! It marked properly a moment making it memorable while evoking feelings. Now new feelings link those moments. We don't get that connectivity of feeling and nice moments with art that's handed to us. We have to take it from the start to the finish and reflect on it... Music is our therapy let's not lose that

I think I'm starting to realise... When you add the amount of instances our experience offers us and multiply that by the amount of neurons... When it comes to making art which is the business of discovery ... We have the high ground still.. We have too many connections and we have the force of feeling ... The force cannot be handed to you by a computer! EVER


The Jedi Order

Star warred order for Lucas screen
For now we mute our own mind scream
One Obi Wan or it's mission Darth
Be Yoda of light or emperor of dark

It's Galaxies of neurons filling your skull
Intention to action discerns dark/light pull
Do we silence Luke and be that evil?
Your imperial pain
Wind whooshed mind Eagle

Emanations
Controlled neuron strings
Observational Force empowers all things
The things of you
The things of me
Rings of resonance
Choose jail or free

Whether Youngling, Padawan, Knight or Master
No control of others finds your Yoda faster
Grand master of me
Light like leaf
Yet all cosmic power in this chief

All magnetars tinder like in brain
Those sly supernovas tinder like in my name
Being your blackhole controls right of passage
Singularity known
Freeman charge controlled brassage
Energy
You
Bruce says, Be Water...Be new
Memory of liquid
Good and great
Guide all with pathway
That inner peace make
Deliver us light
Force for all good
Do we dopamine scroll to dark wimp with hood?

The Jedi Order
Good mind be broader
Octillions of atoms
Sayeth Bruce, Be Water
Whether Youngling, Padawan, Knight or Master
Be your liquid Light
Grand Yoda pasture

Use the force
Be Water

This song began back at the beginning of the summer, when Josh was messing around on his electric piano and found a structure to which to add his bass. As soon as he opened the project to the rest of Eclectic Collective, JJ jumped right in, adding his thrilling organ and ethereal background synth. Thus, Josh dropped his original e. piano part in favour of JJ's new parts. Ken was next up, adding the drums in reverse order from how he and Josh usually do it. Ken is very skilled at being able to add drums to a pre-existing bass line, which he displays in here. He also added the clever auxiliary percussion you hear throughout. Mark was next up, adding his funky clavinet, as well as his sax solo you hear lighting it up in there. He also added that synth horns arrangement leading into the last chorus. 
  Then it was time for the guitarists to do their thing. Stephen added the strong, melodic solos in the first two breaks with his guitar and wah pedal. After Tez added his thrilling solos at the end, Stephen went back in and added the funky rhythm guitar part. Tez also added the funky guitar riffs throughout the verses.
  All that was left was to get Carl in on the action, as he is the newest core member of Eclectic Collective. He wrote a poem and sung it in his signature, wild style for us.
  This is Eclectic Collective at almost full strength, pulling six musicians from two different continents and four different countries together to create a song. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it.
   On a side note, this will be Eclectic Collective's last song for two weeks. As most of you know, we release a song every Thursday at midnight. Due to vacation and travel at the end of summer, we'll be skipping  next Friday, the 15th, but should be returning the following Friday, the 22nd. We may also put something out this coming Tuesday, the 12th, so please stay tuned. Can't thank enough those of you who tune in regularly and support us every week.

Hey Human

Gotta collect that love
Then give it back and well, we see

New song written and performed by David Cooper.

Lyrics:

OK
I wanna hear it every day
It’s OK

Alright
Want to hear you say you might
It’s alright

It only seemed like yesterday
It’s funny how things turned out that way
Didn’t hear what they had to say
Yesterday

Hello
The words I wanna hear you say so
Only Hello

Goodnight
Don’t wanna hear you say goodnight
You know it’s right

It only seemed like yesterday
It’s funny how things turned out that way
Didn’t hear what they had to say
Yesterday


Ok – I wanna hear its

Mark Kurtis Adams (1956-2022) is the greatest songwriter you've never heard of. We were friends for forty years. Since his passing, I have been combing through his massive catalog of original songs; many co-written with friends, many written solo. It would be a crime for the world to never hear the music I grew up on. Mark gave me permission/freedom to use his music in any way I choose before he died. Here is VOLUME 2 of Mark's music as I have interpreted it.

Carry My Heart

Original title: I like to sample old drums

Open collaborations have always triggered me and they have to be cooked, when they are still hot. So when I listened to the new track of Marquis I knew immediately what I wanted to do and created a remix in a few hours. My approach is, that I have replaced the warm and organic sounding drum-loops with cold and sterile sounding synth-sounds. Though I am far from being a Hip hop-producer I tried to apply a polished and modern attitude. I painstakingly recreated the groove of the original loops, shifting sounds exactly to the same place. All sounds are made with the Zebra-synth and mixed in Logic. I used two raps and tried to create a smooth transition between them.

Lyrics 
Take The Max Down To Hillsboro  
Hey maybe when were done collabing  
You should  
Take the max down to hillsboro  
Kickback and relax 
We could have fun 
Eat some cake at Decadent Creations  
Chill and bake in the sun, then Run to the Bagley park pavilion 
When the rain has begun 
We don’t use none umbrellas here 
Just jackets from Columbia  
I could buy you one cause there Is no sales tax,  
I don’t lie, just facts 
We all like to try to put bike racks on our Subarus  
What chus got to loose  
Boos is only sold  
At the liquor store I got one near me called 
Wholesale Liquor store 
Yo what more  
Do you want to know From the Portland Airport  
You can go  
Take the max down to Hillsboro It’ll cost around 4 to 6 bucks  
And take about an hour and 45 minutes 

This One Goes  
This one goes out to Portland breweries even though I don’t drink keep making them brews 
This one goes out to Washington Park for the oldest west of the Mississippi zoo 
This one goes out to Beaverton Nike workers cause you know we keep wearing them shoes 
This one goes out to Hillsboro  
This one goes out to Cornelius, every day I go to work I’m just passing through 
This one goes out to Forest Grove Pacific University keep collecting them dues  
Fuck going into debt for school



Heartscore and The Couch King - I like to program new drums

I don't know, why I am into Hip Hop and EDM lately, but I can not help it. And I have no idea where to publish it, so SC is my place for my out of place tracks. I was very impressed by the power of this woman defending the rights of the Maori-people, so it inspired me to make a track out off her speech at the New Zealand parliament. If you want to know more about the event read this article:
