Let’s Get Funky - Jamie Rhind & Friends

Thought I'd throw up a funky track with many syncopated layers.  I started with an internet guitar backing track and as the tune progressed, a John Scofield Uberjam  / a GoGo vibe came out - without John's unreal guitar playing over the top.  Check out John's two Uberjam and a GoGo albums if you are digging this track.  Check em out even if you're not too! The photo is of a famous storyteller in NY who was hanging out in Washington Square Park.  Loved his smile.  Thanks as always for listening and for your comments as well.

Funk You Up  - a Tribute to John Scofield

It's Friday so why not throw up some funk!  There is no one deeper than Herbie Hancock, so I created this funky tune as a tribute to Herbie.  Such an important influence he was across so many genres.  Herbie is the consummate musician.  A fellow native of Chicago, Herbie soloed with the Chicago Symphony at around age 12, started producing his own albums on Blue Note before he was 20, joined the legendary Miles Davis quintet in '64, and brought electronic keyboards with the Rhodes to Miles with the famous Miles Smiles album, then pioneering electronic keyboards in the late 60s with In A Silent Way and Bitches Brew.  Miles had an album Get on Up With It, which is where I took the name from - a common phrase back in the late 60s and 70s..that James Brown of course used with his funky Sex Machine hit.  In addition to his incredible influence with Miles, Herbie left him around '72 to form the Headhunters, which then created what still is the best selling "jazz" album of all time - with Chameleon and so many other classics.  Herbie has meant so much to me that we named our first Beagle Herbie Hancock.  And was Herbie amused when I met him at a party and told him that.  Anyway, here's Get on Up.  I've used a real nice backing track with Swiss guitarist Hanspeter Kruesi https://soundcloud.com/music-pictures to set the groove and then added a number of keyboard and Miles like muted trumpet lines to bring it to life.  Get on Up!

Get On Up - Tribute to Herbie Hancock

A big shout out to my many friends and followers on SoundCloud.  Today marks 100,000 listens for me since I joined, and it has been a special treat to have gotten to know so many from all over the world so well, to really dig into and dig your personal playing and music, to have had the opportunity to record and perform with superb musicians, to learn from you and to greatly improve and expand my abilities on keyboard and with recording.  To commemorate this milestone I have created a funk fusion tune that is inspired by several of my favorite musicians - Miles Davis, Joe Zawinul and Weather Report, and Herbie Hancock.  These creative musicians were often playing around with modal funk grooves, were pioneers of keyboards in their bands, and created ambiguity in their music between the minor and major third, as you here here.  They expanded boundaries, created genres of music, combined virtuosity with groove and space, and were all great listeners.

Thanks for all the love over the last year !!!!  So many have taken a substantial amount of time to listen to the music I have created and often with others, and so regularly to comment and to share their thoughts and support - often in a second language for them.   

Thank you SoundCloud friends...let's keep the music flowing and the beat grooving...together!

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.
Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark: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

TITLE: EGO WON'T LISTEN
_________________________________________________________________
LYRICS:
(Verse 1)
I could carve it in stone but you'd still deny
Truth's a mirror you refuse to try
Your mind's a fortress with a broken door
Jealousy's the poison you keep asking for

(Chorus)
Ego won't listen
Ego won't fall
You block the echoes
You build the wall
Jealousy burns and ignorance calls
Ego won't listen
That's all
That's all

(Verse 2)
You wear a crown of "I know it best"
But the cracks in your kingdom fail the test
Every word's a weapon
Every glance a game
But deep down
You're scared of the shame

(Chorus)
Ego won't listen
Ego won't fall
You block the echoes
You build the wall
Jealousy burns and ignorance calls
Ego won't listen
That's all
That's all

(Bridge)
Your shadow fights the light
It twists and turns
The truth's a fire but you'll never let it burn
Caught in a loop
Spinning out of control
Your ego's a thief stealing your soul
[Chorus]
Ego won't listen
Ego won't fall
You block the echoes
You build the wall
Jealousy burns and ignorance calls
Ego won't listen
That's all
That's all

You Built The Wall--I Left It All

Ego Won't Listen

Lyrics :
Naked darkness, you want to top
My scarlet lips sure won’t say stop
My soul drowns in your fragrance
Your burning gaze puts me in trance.

I look clumsy in my flip-flops
You suck my dreams like lollipops
Lady, we’re going to dance
Be sure it’s sex, not romance.

Chorus :
I’m your mount, your wild mare,
Our sweats mixed in the summer air.
I’m your bottom, you’re my top.
I’ll drink your desire to the last drop.

You’re so sexy in your high heels
A dominant stance that appeals
My mini short is far too tight
But I won’t keep it long tonight

You strip-me and start to tease
I surrender, begging for ease
Your tongue slither in my ear
As I sparkle like a cold beer.

Chorus :
I’m your pony, ride me bareback,
Our pleasure is well on track.
I’m your bottom, you’re my top.
Be sure to bring your riding crop.

I’ll yield to you, but make it sweet
Your devilish smile is my defeat
When our warm bodies collide
I’m soaking wet, no need to hide.

You’re the top. I’m on the ground
So horny, we’re upside down.
My pussy’s ticking like a clock.
Turn me inside out like a sock

Chorus :
I’m your mount, your wild mare,
Our sweats mixed in the summer air.
I’m your bottom, you’re my top.
I’ll drink your desire to the last drop.

Chorus :
I’m your pony, ride me bareback,
Our pleasure is well on track.
I’m your bottom, you’re my top.
Be sure to bring your riding crop.

Daniel's Theme

Cast of Characters:
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender Stratocaster electric guitar and composition
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Fender Precision Bass
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – synth and organ
The Beautiful Dark -- @thebeautifuldark -- Carl — vocals, whistling, and lyrics
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen — Tom Anderson Custom T model electric guitar, production, mix, and mastering
This song began at the end of last summer, August of '24, when Tez sat down and composed it on his guitar. He shared it with us right away, and while everyone jumped on it immediately, it sat on the shelf for so long because we all felt we needed a singer for it. Fast forward a year, and lo and behold, we picked up Carl, who is down for whatever vocals a song needs. 
  We began construction on this by creating the rhythm section. Ken first adding his explosive drums, followed by Josh completing the rhythm section with his four string, fretted bass, which he used a plectrum to play.  JJ entered the fray next, adding his otherworldly synth and thickening organ. 
  Then it sat. And sat. And sat some more, until Carl found us, or we found him, and he was finally able to add the missing puzzle piece. He also did something that none of us had ever heard before. He added the whistling at the end, too. But before we put it to bed, Stephen added some thrilling solo work with his axe, too, also towards the end. 
  Now that it was a completed song, we asked Stephen to mix it, even though it's really Tez's song, and that honor would usually go to him. However Tez was experiencing some technical difficulty, so the honor went to Stephen, who did his always professional production work on it. 
  This is a straight rocker from Eclectic Collective, being in all of our wheelhouses. This one was all made in house, too, so it's a great representation of our rocking skills as a band. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it. 

Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark:

Curing core
Great lucid lore
Ore of iron dreaming
Alluring more
Grace lucid door
Assuring new real scening

Iron dreaming
Earth's core revealing

Tick tock that hope
Dream that design
Tick tock that goal
Aspiration in mind
Love locked to luscious
Living for time
New rules got rhyme
The future is fine

Iron dreaming
Earths core revealing

We need not fists
We need no guns
Just words and wits
Dreams for daughters and sons
You get the jist
A felt future is on
We'll clear the mist
Open those fists
It's a hug and a handshake
Then let's all move on

Iron Dreaming (Eclectic Collective)
