waylaid  

Too many times  we’re all waylaid  and that’s fine 
too many times  it’s all waylaid  and  it goes to pot  
to pot  

Like a wave it comes and sweeps you right up and sees you see it all
But eyes, are a little bit blind and the scene is way too colourfully abstract
Still a bit waylaid, feeling somewhat waylaid,    
Still a bit waylaid, feeling somewhat waylaid,   

Take a little swim to the other other end friend
Any old stroke don’t worry about the form shawn
The wave is talking to us whispering to us all
Like an old friend’s calling for the next big call
we flounder around like elastic plastic fish  
being totally off course way too many times						
There’s gonna be hell to pay when we get loose 
too many strings can’t see the way up   fuck
 
we alight aboard the sinking ship ‘nice n spicy’ 
but it sure rings more like lice, lice and mousy
by all means though  yeah  call it a bleak street
rather that than being an almighty shit-storm 
but really what’s with the so trendy dark-side
when it’s just another tool to set aside inside
another montage in the so-so blackened garage
then the trap door opens with the latest barrage

it’s been a forever long haul to finally get here
through those wayback times of bullet versus spear
sitting so pretty on the board with no cares of war
laying down at night with no cares of what we saw
it doesn’t take long to forget the face of firepower
and wonder how it got here - how did it get here?
the flash of piercing light through our sufferance
the tall billowing dusty plumes of our vengeance

the power of one man can dictate the spin of earth
was here before, been here before, seen this before
man on top, he’s sublime, so so totally fine yeah?
was here before, been here before, seen this before 
the power of one man can dictate the winds of earth
straight ahead not a soul in sight - damn right!
There’s gonna be hell to pay when we get loose 
too many chains don’t know the way up   fuck

Too many times  we’re waylaid
feeling somewhat way way waylaid,    
  
it’s a pity about  the bleak streets
better than a fire storm for for for sure

Too many times  we’re waylaid
feeling somewhat way way waylaid

noxpox - Patt ☻ (OPEN COLLAB)

Beneath the lonely streetlight, ever-shifting shadows played a secret game. Lucy, an imaginative girl, believed they were mystical beings. One night, a shadow reached out, and Lucy followed it to a hidden door. A world of twilight wonders awaited, teaching her that even darkness holds beauty.

Shadows in The Street Light

This is a song that JJ came up with on the electric piano and shared with the rest of us. He's done a significant portion of the songwriting for the Eclectic Collective, and always gives us quality songs, to which are easy to add our voices. When he sent it to us, he had a rough bass on there that sounded like Lust for Life. Ken came up with a killer and appropriate beat, which, if you can picture Lust For Life, included a lot of accentuated bass kicks. So, Josh took and went with that, and came up with a funky bass line. Ken and he kicked it back and forth a few times till they linked up. Then JJ added some funky ass organ and trippy retro synth to spice it up.
  Then it was time to send it to the guitarist. Tez laid down some smoking lead solos throughout, with his signature fiery guitar tone and amazing licks. Then Stephen funked it up even more with a fonky-ass wah guitar track.
  Ken produced and mixed this one for us, and what an excellent job he did, too. This was so much fun to create. We all hope you enjoy listening to our jam as much as we did playing it.

Home's Album

Tonkas and Matchbox Cars - by The Eclectic Collective

It's another collection of varied tunes.

The joy inside us - melodic, soulful and uplifting beats and is a reflection on the joy I have felt in my life. It feels good ;-)

Song of the Elven - this melds a fat bassline with jazzy guitar and sinister bell sounds. Think Santa's elves have taken over the party for the evening and have got into the punch...

Inside the storm - a follow on to Approaching the Storm (on my debut album). It's a reflection on what it feels like to be in the middle of a whirlwind and not knowing the way forwards.

And because I cannot end on dark notes, the last track is a simple lullaby no.6, named after the UDO Super 6 synth it was written on. Boy that synth is awesome... I have more coming using that toy :-)

The Joy Inside Us

I think this haiku is a perfect match with the track I've been trying to create for some time... immediately after reading it I had very clear ideas on how to make it all happen.
 There are several recordings, the oldest was made with the guitar, processed on the elektron octatrack in 2020.
 About a month ago I found the central part of the song while experimenting with the vcv rack and the initial part (which takes up the final guitar theme) is the most recent recording processed with the Fm8 synth.
 recorded in Ableton and subsequently mixed in Cubase.

Latest Updates: 
Am currently putting together a remastered Anthology collection of all my tracks from 2015 onwards. 2015 consists of a 3 CD set. 2016 consists of a 4 CD set.
If you would like to listen to more of Magician, especially retro older tracks please checkout Bandcamp (see link below).
Have recently been rediscovering some of my older music pre KORG days and remastering for uploading to my cloud. Hope you like. Seems such a long time ago now.
I have been lucky to have music in my life, and now the time to explore how it can affect other people. I have discovered many new talented artists on SC and am happy to encourage and support their work; from small beginnings come great things. Please be inspired to be your best, inspire others too, encourage those who lack the inner courage to move forward, and together we can make music make a difference in all our lives.
Am spending a lot more time on my music now since retiring from work in July 2020. Always learning new techniques and honing my craft. Am comfortable now with all chord sequences throughout the scales and loving improvising with the help of my mighty KORG still. Am still trying to give my full support and encouragement to all SC users and some latest (you know who you are), are developing nicely. Be good to one another, be gracious to others, leave your ego out of your life and above all else remember there is always someone worse off than yourself. 
Please be kind to each other, to be happy with our lot without jealousy or greed; to give without asking the cost; to love as if there is no tomorrow; to share and inspire others who may be less fortunate than us; most of all to enjoy life for the joy of living, for we know not what the morning brings - stay safe my friends, be strong and always stay positive; remember life changes - DON'T let it change you!!  Music is my life - has helped me through many dark places, is a big part of who I am. I put my heart and soul into every single piece of music I produce. I have found many wonderful friends on SC and many exciting talented people.  Been writing and producing music now for 40 years plus. Specialised in electronic based orchestral compositions. Favourite artists/bands include Eno, Edgar Froese (1944-2015), Jordan Rudess, Kebu, Keith Emerson (1944-2016), Rick Wakeman, Richard Wright (1943-2008), Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, Jean Michel Jarre, M83, Public Service Broadcasting, Dream Theater, ELP, Yes and Mystery to name but a few.
