Scott Nelson is the consummate musician, creating a wide variety of styles including fusion, jazz, funk, blues, latin and more.  We've loved playing with each other and this playlist of more than forty recordings together represents some of my very favorite music on SoundCloud.  Scott plays serious guitar, bass, keyboards and creates music at such a consistently high level.

Lyrics:
Mes lèvres sont des fruits sucrés et murs,  
dans l’ombre velue où le désir se tisse,  
je bois ton souffle court de miel obscur,  
quand la nuit nous lie et nous métisse.  

L’attente est un jardin sombre velouté de poils,  
où les fleurs carnivores sont des présages,  
tu trembles et plie sous mes doigts d’étoiles,  
et le temps filandreux se déchire sous l’orage.  

Je trace sur ta peau froide et lisse des runes,  
des signes anciens que seule la lune connaît,  
tu es l’énigme bleutée, la libellule importune,  
l’abîme où, à l’aube claire, je me noierai.  

(Chorus)
La la la, la la, la la la
La la, hum hum, La la
La la la, la la, la la la
La la, hum hum, La la

Ta couche est un livre où je lis à l’encre du feu,
Je la parfume d’hésitation et de cyprine. 
Chaque mot brûle et se consume,  peu à peu,
Dans le brasier de mes prunelles vipérines.  

L’aube aux pieds d’argent viendra, pâle et nue,  
Effacer nos noms du sable noir  de l’oubli 
mais sous tes cils, l’ombre persiste,  ténue,
où notre plaisir se grave et nous délie.  

Je pars, emportant ton parfum à mes cils,  
un sillage de sel et de rêve, dans la brume 
tu implores ma clarté chaude et vibratile,  
comme le sang doux et indigo des agrumes .

(Chorus)
La la la, la la, la la la
La la, hum hum, La la
La la la, la la, la la la
La la, hum hum, La la

Agrumes Indigo

Cloudy Days (Remix) feat. joerxworx

The last evening of October
Vampires drink tomato juice
The moon sets on the fishing line
Whomever they wanted to scare, he didn't come

All the colors of death on their faces
And scars – not sparing makeup
The night darkens
The light fades
And darkness dances among us

All evil has crawled to the surface
And celebrates its terrible feast
Here the devil has defeated God!
Let them carry out all the saints...
Let them carry out all the saints

The last evening of October
Vampires drink tomato juice
The moon sets on the fishing line
Whomever they wanted to scare, he didn't come

****
последний вечер октября
вампиры пьют томатный сок
на леске опускается луна
кого хотели напугать - Тот не пришёл

все краски смерти на лице
и шрамы - грима не щадя
чернеет ночь
погашен Свет
и тьма танцует между нас

вся нечесть вылезла наверх
и празднует свой страшный пир
здесь дьявол бога
победил!
пускай выносят всех святых.. 

последний вечер октября
вампиры пьют томатный сок
на леске опускается луна
кого хотели напугать - Тот не пришёл

antihalloween

an homage to American TV painting personality Bob Ross, who I watched regularly back in the 80s before his posthumous internet fame
I'm sorry to have butchered Don McLean's beautiful song Vincent by changing the words and using his melody and my croaky voice...folksinger, I am not... oh well it was  a good lyric writing exercise at least


Bobby Bobby Ross
Painting with his secret sauce
Liquid White on canvas tossed
I watched him late at night on my TV

Cadmium Yellow daffodils 
A mix of Midnight Black to make his hills
His velvet voice and landscape plan so chill
Nature seemed to bow at his command

Now I understand
All those forest, ocean, winter scenes
400 episodes with Phthalo Green
On PBS commercial-free
His rush with brush and speedy painting bliss
And now he's called an ASMRist

Bobby Bobby Ross
His clouds they look like candy floss
Reds and yellows, greens in semi-gloss
Creeks that sing and swim in Prussian Blue

Those mountains built on cue
With his pallet knife, he lays them down 
Their peaks and valleys glow like starry crowns
Bold colors he will wear and share with you

Now I'm speaking true
Of his wise words that he wished for me
Happy accidents are meant to be
They have come to set you free
Just like life sometimes, some spots get messed
Here comes your big tree bravery test

I know the art snobs did not like him
Nor did that Alexander dude
But still, he spoke to me
Big hair, big heart, big B
His reruns run most every afternoon 
Here's to the boss our Mr. Ross
There'll never be another one as sweet or super cool

Bobby Bobby Ross
Creating all those Happy Trees
A song to sing in playful key
It's sometimes hard to stay between the lines

I've been painting crooked pines
Production mix all Vandyke Brown
Withered words that reek of pun and clown
Lie slushed and swollen on the Soundcloud snow

Now I think I know
What he tried to say to me
Art is love, it's life, it's tragedy
Inside of all of us you see
So find your passion, get that fire lit
And with a 2 inch brush
Beat the devil out of it


Music Don McLean 1971

Hubert Stytz:  Music   /     Pee Gee: Lyrics
 
Insprired by the famous artwork by "Gottfried Helnwein" , Hubert and I had the idea of making up a story about a jetset glamour lady and a" working girl " on the Boulevard, a picture in her head..her idol "James Dean" immortalized by Helnwein ! 

Boulevard of Broken Dreams

Queen of the night
On her way to a gala dinner
Dressed up like a diva
She looks like the perfect winner
Surrounded by admirers
Escorted by her body guard

Strolling on the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Boulevard of Broken Dreams...Boulevard of Broken Dreams..

Sin of the night
Under the neon lights
Carries a picture in her head
Painting a smile on her face
If you look closer you can see
The fire in her eyes
Standing on the Boulevard of Broken Dreams...

Boulevard of Broken Dreams....Boulevard Of Broken Dreams
It ain´t always what it seems

Boulevard of Broken Dreams...

There´s still a fire burning
In those hungry eyes
Standing on the Boulevard of Broken Dreams...

Boulevard of Broken Dreams... Boulevard of Broken Dreams...

Boulevard of Broken Dreams

Last Night

Relax!

Cast of Characters:
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick four-string fretless bass, PRS SE semi-hollow body electric guitar, Sigma acoustic guitar, lyrics, vocals, and composition
SunnyBeck-- @sunnybeck — Beck — synth and MIDI composition
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – organ
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – production, mix, and mastering
This is a love song written about Josh's favorite band, Phish. He came up with the chords on his acoustic guitar, and shared it with the group. This was written with Beck in mind, though, too, as he knew she'd be contributing her magic to this one, too. Even when it was just the acoustic guitar set to a looper beat, she came up with many of the parts you hear throughout. Although, she also readjusted and redid a lot of it, too, throughout the process. Ken was the next piece of the puzzle to jump in. He laid down his perfect drums beats to it in only one or two tries, giving it the groove it needed. After Ken laid down the beat, that allowed Josh to add his bass to the mix, too. It was almost done musically, but it needed a lead guitar, which Josh also put in there. Before it was finished, though, JJ weighed in with his clever organ, which can be heard from about 2:30 on. When it was all wrapped up musically, Josh also sang his lyrics, which are written from the perspective of two Phish heads conversing about the imminent Phish show, which is always a big, exciting event. 
  Josh has seen almost 70 Phish shows in his life, and he hopes his adoration for the band is evident in this song. This is the second song Eclectic Collective have done with Beck, and we all hope for many more, too. She's a fantastic musician, with a wonderfully deep well of creativity. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it. 

Original lyrics by Josh Clary:

Are you gonna meet me at the show tonight
Am I gonna see you at the show?
What songs do you think they’ll play tonight?
I’ve been waiting all year to go

You should check out last night’s set list
The show was packed with killer songs
Is there any one that you’ve been chasing?
I love it when the crowd all sings along
 
Trey’s been stirring up all the great jams
Page rules the keyboards from his throne
Mike digs the groove so deep and he stands
On Fishman’s beats that shake our bones
 
Hope you have your ticket for the show tonight
I know these days they’re on our phones
Some spun wook is always tripping
Looking for profundity in all the songs

Every now and then they have to just stop spinning 
Stare at the lights, and sing along
So I know we’ll hear some great things tonight
Every time I go, my mind gets blown
After in the lot I know I’ll eat a grilled cheese

Trading Mics For Phish Pages- Eclectic Collective w/ SunnyBeck

1971 was an important time in music, where electricity was changing the landscape and Rock, Funk, Soul and Jazz were all merging into psychedelic grooves.  Marshal stacks were often taller than the players, the players were higher than the Marshal stacks, Strats and Les Pauls were the axes of choice, Hammond B3 Organs and Fender Rhodes keyboards could compete for volume with the guitars, and the hair was even longer than the jams.   Woodstock was a recent memory, Jimi Hendrix had just passed but had moved into the funk and soul inspired Band of Gypsies period, Sly & The Family Stone was heating it up with heavy funk and soul inspired grooves, and Miles Davis had just released the seminal Bitches Brew fusion double album that literally changed music.  This was where it was at, with each of these musicians and bands being influenced by each other.  Great stuff that produced legendary sessions and recordings and pushed music forward with power, energy, groove and volume.  

1971 commemorates this time and mindset, and recreates the feel with friends from around the world who continuously exhibit this spirit, energy and hair in their playing:

Jorg Calaminus - Dusseldorf, Germany - mastering

A couple of words on each of the players:  ALPHA ROOTS - Alphio was the perfect choice to add his soulful African djembe percussion voice.  One of the most prolific and inclusive musicians here on SoundCloud, always speaking with a positive voice.  Check out his often reggae and dub inspired recordings.  RICKARD FROM - my favorite B3 player here on SoundCloud.  We haven't recorded before but wanted his beautiful sound and also wanted these other heavy cats to be introduced to his Jimmy Smith type playing.  STEPHEN "PINNER" LIPINSKI - one of the hottest jazz fusion guitarists on SoundCloud, bringing more modern Scofieldesque jazz lines and harmonies to 1971.  SCOTT NELSON - another burning jazz and fusion guitarist, Scott sound combines elements of the contemporary guitar masters - Scofield, Metheny and Martino - to create his extraordinary playing.  MARCO OVERSTEEGEN - no one on SC has a closer overall sound to Hendrix, and we needed Marco's fabulous rhythm playing and soloing to anchor this 1971 mood.  JUSTIN VALENTE - Justin's my favorite blues rock guitarist, and just had to be a part of this summit, bringing us that heavy electric sound of Jimi, The Allman Bros, Freddie King and Stevie Ray Vaughn.  

So here's 1971.  Again.

Thanks to these great players for joining me and contributing so much to 1971, and also to all the listener, for your generous time, your comments and your shares.  And a special thanks to Jorg Calaminus for taking the initiative to master the sound for us to give you this real fine mix.

Here's our take on the seminal Maiden Voyage, written and first recorded by Herbie Hancock in the early '60s, and recorded and performed again by so many jazz musicians since.  One of the all time classics in the repertoire.  Joining us on this tune are two of my very favorite jazz guitarists on SoundCloud, Stephan Lipinski and Scott Nelson, and the very fine bass player from the Netherlands, Kenneth Bruce.  Pinner takes the first solo, Scott the second and the tasty rhythm playing, and Kenneth anchors the grooving bass.  What a treat to be able to showcase Herbie's work so beautifully.

Blue Circle is a 12 bar blues with a modern, descending chromatic twist on the 9th and 10th bars.  The fabulous Scott Nelson and I have teamed up to create this original music.  Scott's guitar is haunting, going from subtle to explosive, as he expertly navigates these contemporary blues.  My approach to the tune was more introspective, in the style of the young Herbie Hancock in the '60s with Miles Davis's seminal quintet.  So great to have Scott's musicality again on this recording.  You can check out his extensive gallery of jazz and fusion: https://soundcloud.com/scott-nelson-364333064

Thanks so much for your generous time listening, for your comments and feedback, and for your shares.

Back with the wonderful Scott Nelson on a heavy fusion original, Spiral Staircase.  Scott's guitar once again is so electric, and fits in beautifully to the spiraling pulse.  Check out more of Scott's fantastic playing and writing here on SoundCloud:   https://soundcloud.com/scott-nelson-364333064

We thank you as always for your generous time listening, for your comments and for your shares

Ba Ba De Bop is what SoundCloud is all about.  A pure collaboration among serious musicians.  Joining me for the first time with a real clear trumpet voice is Andrew "Styrmonix" Styrmo, doing his Miles thing here.   Andrew's also adding some hip vocals, in fact creating the name of the tune, Ba Ba De Bop.  You will hear that in the tune in fun places.  His trumpet -- beautiful tone, cool chromatic playing, and drawing tension with every other note.  Stephan "Pinner" Lipinski holds down one of two serious guitar lines, driving the tune with an infectious wah rhythm track, and also some downright nasty nasty soloing, finding that perfect space between the bass, trumpet and his wah.  And once again, we've got Scott Nelson taking a big guitar solo in the middle section, providing a huge sound and such masterful playing.   This one combines so much of what I love in fusion and also in SoundCloud.  The opportunity to express oneself with other similar minded musicians from around the world.  Pretty cool !  We hope you dig it - stick with it through the end for some funky playing:

Styrmonix:  trumpet and voice
Stephan "Pinner" Lipinski:  guitar
Scott Nelson:  guitar solo

Here's a fun one we've created as a tribute to the great Joe Zawinul, keyboard player with Weather Report, Weather Update, the Zawinul Syndicate and pianist with Cannonball Adderly.  Joe wrote Mercy Mercy Mercy in the 60s, but this tune brings in his 70's - 90's influence, where he used sounds and synthesizers, world class jazz musicians, and brought his undeniable influence to the world of electric jazz fusion.  

Joining us here are 3 of my favorite SoundCloud fusion players, Scott Nelson  https://soundcloud.com/scott-nelson-364333064 with his amazing guitar playing, Mirko Borach  https://soundcloud.com/stringburner with his slap funk bass mastery and now Athens' Themis Nikoloudis https://soundcloud.com/themis-nikoloudis on electric violin, who lights it up with a fabulous sound and exploration of rhythm, patterns and modes.   So great to have him join us here, and we're looking forward to working with him more soon.    These guys all deserve applause for their beautiful playing and spirit.  And while we are at it, let's raise a toast to Joe Zawinul with Cup of Joe...

The photo here is of the Alps, as Joe Zawinul was from Austria.

Thanks for your generous time listening, for your comments and for your shares.
