Yes!  I love the tracks you guys do that Chris starts the composition for!  He has such a dreamy psychedelic sound brimming with originality.  I must say JJ, your synth playing is the standout instrument in the beginning, and your piano towards the end is gorgeous!  A mighty fine track guys, great work!

Sorry, Danen was a bit sleepy today as far as listening goes :)

This is such a wonderful example of collab with senergy -effect. Everyone contributes to a higher result

This got that @ bucket full of drum notes.., that I was asked to edit, ha!! 🤔😂😎…lovely version, JJ!! I mean.. I’m a dreamer drummer! I play lots of notes, ha!! I’m just trying to get ahead.. @ well.. you don’t even work here.. that’s what makes me so difficult, ha!! ( Seinfeld episode!!) 🤣🤣🤣😎😎😎🙏🙏🙏

Love this pared-back version...wonderful keyboards, JJ.  The Eclective Collective's work, at whatever stage, is always worth a listen!

I can hear how this version works so well for you JJ. It is doing the same for me too

A sweet chill pervades this song, with little twists and turns here and there, especially at the end.  Nice:)

This is one of the earlier, more stripped down version of this song that’s found on my other colleauges’ Soundcloud pages\.
This song started as many of our best do, with Chris coming up with it on his acoustic guitar. He shared it with the rest of us shortly after, and we were all very excited to tuck into it.

Ken was fist at the trough for this one, adding his jazzy, expressive drums. Josh came in as soon as he had a beat to work with, adding his signature fretless bass to the mix. Not long after that, JJ broke out the hauntingly melodic piano and Shine On You Crazy Diamond timbred synth you hear throughout.

This song is an example of Eclectic Collective coming together to bring another one of Chris' brilliant songs to life. You should check out his new albums on Spotify, which you can find by clicking the link next to his name in the credits.


Better Not Say ***Stripped Down Version*** (The Eclectic Collective)

Composer/Songwriter. Proficient performer of piano, bass guitar, double bass, cello, 6 string , 12 string , drums, triangle (shall I include tambourine too?🤣), vocals, lyrics. 99% of the tracks on this page are original songs. None of my performances on any of my tracks, whether solo work, or collaboration, have any editing whatsoever. Effects and equalization? Of course! But no editing, no software, etc. Quite a substantial amount of these tracks are with The Eclectic Collective. We are like family and have been playing together on a daily basis since approximately March of 2022 as the Eclectic Collective. Before the band bore it's name Eclectic Collective; Josh, Ken, Stephen, Tez, and  CG Maness were doing some occasional collabs. At any given time we are all simultaneously working on about 15 different songs. And when we feel they are done cooking in the oven we release them.  We release a song every week on Fridays at 4AM UTC
