This Time ( Charlie and the Fox )

Cast of Characters:

J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- organ, electric piano, drums, synth sax, synth bass, composition, and arrangement 
Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – guitar
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– guitar, production, mix, and mastering
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–ehru 
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – lap steel

This ripe piece of funk started with JJ essentially composing it on the e. Piano, organ, drums, synth sax, ands synth bass. He had the Eclectic Collective in mind when he did so, though. JJ actually is playing his drum kit on this one, so funkily that we decided to keep his drums in there. That didn't leave a whole lot of room for Ken to get in on it, but he managed to add a really cool ehru part. The ehru is a two stringed Asian violin with a distinct high percussive sound. JJ's bass line was so well played and solid, we decided to keep it in there, too, which also left Josh searching for a place in the mix. He decided to go last with the lap slide to anchor the foundation of the blues idiom. But he did that after Stephen and Tez cast their spells on the song with their magical guitars. Tez can be heard with the trippy, delay-heavy staccato lines, and Stephen with the silky smooth crying blues lines throughout. 
  Of course, every great song needs a great mixer and producer, and we're lucky enough to have Stephen to do the honors on this one for us.
  This song represents The Eclectic Collective at our funky finest, and we always enjoy and appreciate when JJ starts a song for us. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it. 
  If you really dig it, and have read the whole way to the bottom, please consider sharing this, too. We all appreciate your ears and support.

Feelings In Me/ With David Wayne Hardy Guitar

Cast of Characters:

Roy Roy – @user-967672349 – Roy – foundational guitar, composition, and arrangement
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- organ, electric piano, synth sax, synth strings, synth brass, production, and mix
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– whah guitar, and mastering
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums, percussion 
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – 4-string fretless bass

This song began as a well developed, funky disco idea Roy came up with on his guitar, and shared with JJ. JJ added a wonderfully complex orchestration of various keys, including brass, strings, and the sax solo you hear towards the end. 
  JJ invited Stephen Stephen first, who came up with the funky ass wah guitar that also carries the groove. Of course, JJ realized that this is a disco song, so he enlisted Ken to come up with one of his awesome beats to carry it along. JJ had a rudimentary bass line that he played himself, but decided to get Josh to do the honors instead. So, Josh came up with a totally new bass line designed to shake your cheeks.
Once it was in the can, we decided to ask have JJ mix it for us. This is a first time JJ has mixed a song for The Eclectic Collective, and we were all impressed with his work. Stephen mastered it, as he is a master masterer. 
  We're all really impressed and delighted with the experience of working with Roy and his music. He is a very talented artist with a lot of great music to check out on his page, too.
  We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it, and that it makes you shake your hips while you're doing the dishes, too!

'Dr Sniff'

You can use red contact lenses
You can also glue on a false beard
Maybe put a wig upon your head
Or simply dye your hair
Using sausage water to create a false trail
Or hide in Mino's maze

nonetheless, nonetheless

You can plane your fingertips
Put on a perfume Chanel No 5
You can walk backwards in the snow
You may even use stealth technology
You can change means of transport
Or walk upstream
Perhaps hiding behind waterfalls
Or also put on a spacesuit

You can speed away in a really fast car
Even take a plane
You can hide on a cruise- or containership
As a blind passenger

but nonetheless, but nonetheless

You can forge the ID
Even swap your tax number
Or even change your health insurance
You can lay false tracks everywhere

You might think you left without trace
But Dr Sniff’s already got your pace
You could even try to hide in hell
But Dr Sniff’s already taken up your smell 

Already taken up your smell…

Presenting "Tempo Tempest" 

A composition that unfolds with a crescendo of orchestrated intensity. The composition begins with a piano, & piccolo melody setting a melancholic and introspective tone with the use of alchemy pads to approach a sense of reality.  The xylophone enters, adding a playful and rhythmic counterpoint to the piano melody as cello and bass staccato build intensity, a complex driving force for the composition. The classical piano continues playing a complex and emotive melody that complements the atmosphere created with the alchemy pad. The strings swell and the xylophone becomes more frantic, creating a sense of chaos and urgency along with the timpany hits, timpani tremolo crescnendo & orchestral crotales. The track reaches its climax with a gradual breakdown, featuring interplay with mystical piano return, playing a haunting and melancholic outro that fades into silence.

Tempo Tempest

Dear friends - this is a little song to my dear brother - in - law on his Birthday.
We wish him a Happy Birthday


Kjell’s visa (Kjell’s Song)

Lyrics in English

In the middle of a burning war, a little boy was born
and after a few years
he becomes a tall and stately man
and he loves nature
and takes care of everyone who flies
but the most important thing for him
is the wife and grandchildren and children


Lyrics in Swedish

Mitt under brinnande krig en liten gosse kom till världen
och efter några år
han blir till en lång och ståtlig man
och han älskar naturen
och tar hand om alla som flyger
men det viktigaste för han
är frun och barnbarn och barn

Kjells Visa (Kjell's song) Lyrics in English in description below.

"Not all who wander are lost." -- J.R.R. Tolkien

We all wander at one time or another.  Sometimes, it leads us to wonderful discoveries.  At other times, it can take us away from the things and people in life that are truly important.  One thing is certain:  Wandering almost always teaches us something.

Wandering

New song written by David Cooper and Mike Fox.

Mike and I both come from the North East of England and he used to be in a band called Tokyo Rose.  I saw them many times on the Working Mens Club circuit in the North of England in the 1980's.

I sent Mike some lyrics that I wrote many years ago – I did my own version of the song but was curious as to what Mike could come up with.

He didn’t disappoint and certainly excelled himself with this great rocking track.  Well done, Mike.

Hope you enjoy it too.

Lyrics:

During the day we’re nine to five
But on a nighttime, we come alive
When we get up on the stage and sing our songs
Oh yeah, that’s where we belong

We’re the kings of rock and roll.

Tensions mount and the lights go down
That’s the time when we come around
When the feeling comes and begins to invade our souls
Oh yeah that’s when we reach our goal

We’re the kings of rock and roll
We’re the kings of rock and roll
We’re the kings of rock and roll

Come on and play it again


Bridge

Ladies and gentlemen
Let’s have a big hand
May I introduce a brand-new band
Who are gonna blow you all away

Solo

Boilermakers and going Downhill
Spennymoor Sports and Social
Getting high without taking a pill
Full volume on the vocals "

Ragamuffin men that haven’t a clue 
But when they play, they know what to do
When they tune themselves together and then they start
Oh, they smile from their eyes and play from their heart

They’re the kings of rock and roll
They’re the kings of rock and roll
They’re the kings of rock and roll

Come on and play it again

They’re the kings of rock and roll
They’re the kings of rock and roll
They’re the kings of rock and roll

Come on and play it again

My parents listened to Franz Liszt - I still have the original record so I ended up a fan.  My music teacher was the late: Anatoly Miroshnyk (born August 19, 1923 - died July 14, 2011) was a Ukrainian composer, pianist, teacher, musician and public figure.

We often think of talented musicians as folks who start young and advance their skills via the finest education available to them. While this is certainly true in some cases, there are plenty who realised many of their artistic capacities without the aid of specialised instruction or a degree in music.

Where words leave off, music begins.. Not everyone has the ability to compose music I also sing Jazz & Blues with musicians on Wikiloops a truly amazing community.

 I've always been passionate about music composition and fortunately the internet & technology made it possible to build a community in the clouds.

Find my global music journey since 2012 below:

https://linktr.ee/ArapaMusic

I've been tested by an examiner from the Australian Conservatorium of Music & apparently I have perfect pitch and blessed with the ability to accompany any musician, add hooks to any genre - as a singer I’m not great but who cares thats why most is spoken word.

I have my own style - either you like it or not -  always open for collaborations

🎤I have no fear of perfection - will never reach it 🎧   I don’t have the perfect voice nor am I aiming to be the best I'm only human with a passion for what I love music is in my heart.

Thank you to all who believe in me and MOST OF ALL my amazing Mentor thank you Sir for encouraging me to NEVER GIVE UP it all takes time and practice.

My mixing & mastering techniques have been learned from Youtube tutorials & experimenting with Logic Pro X.   I love the creativity and flexibility music production - a continual learning journey  of #passion #persistence #perspiration #patience
 
Having begun her musical journey at the young age of five with the piano accordion – an instrument initially more of an expectation than a choice, yet one for which she now holds deep gratitude – Heidi-Marie eventually transitioned into the captivating world of electronic music production a few years ago. This discovery led to the gentle retirement of her accordion, making space for her true passion: composing, producing, and sharing her sonic creations with the world. For Heidi-Marie, music is not just a pastime but a lifelong dedication, a constant until her final days.
