...2006-2023 & more...

De nos jours, chacun d'entre nous accomplit des choses bien plus spectaculaires et plus complexes que par le passé. Savoir  imaginer, motiver, coordonner, sont pour beaucoup d'entre nous des objectifs.
Mais au présent, il faut reconnaître, que chacun « travaille » pour soi, et que hélas, les États se substituent aux volontés collectives et, l’individualisme est devenu roi. Chacun paie sa redevance dans tous les domaines et considère ainsi, avoir sa part de bonheur, sa part de liberté ....
Nous déléguons de ce fait, toutes les taches de la vie collective, et même trop souvent de la vie domestique, perdant ainsi la capacité d'avoir un semblant d'autonomie, et devenant dépendant de l'argent …. nous empilons les chèques, avec l'espoir d'une certaine tranquillité de vivre. Est-ce vraiment une bonne chose ? 
Je vous laisse méditer sur ces quelques lignes ....

Maintenant pour parler, de ce qui nous intéresse musicalement ici, vous pouvez écouter de cette nouvelle collaboration, avec notre ami David, qui donne avec sa guitare, tout son sens à cette logique harmonique conçue en égard à cette voix si belle et particulière de Clara Sorace.

Merci David d'avoir usé de ton temps pour cette excellente collaboration ….

*********************************************************************************************************

These days, each and every one of us achieves far more spectacular and complex things than in the past. Knowing how to imagine, motivate and coordinate is a goal for many of us.
But in the present, we have to recognize that everyone is "working" for himself, and that, alas, states are replacing collective wills, and individualism has become king. Everyone pays his or her dues in all areas, and thus considers that they have their share of happiness, their semblance of freedom ....
As a result, we delegate all the tasks of collective life, and all too often even domestic life, thus losing the ability to have any semblance of autonomy, and becoming dependent on money .... we pile up cheques, in the hope of a certain peace of living. Is this really a good thing? 
I'll leave you to meditate after reading these few lines ....

Now to talk about what interests us musically here, you can listen to this new collaboration, with our friend David, who gives with his guitar, all its meaning to this harmonic logic conceived in consideration of Clara Sorace's so beautiful and particular voice.

Thank you David for responding positively to my request, and for giving up your time for this excellent collaboration ....

Lyrics
Verse 1
We sailed into port on a hot afternoon
I felt we had been back and fore to the moon
Salt in my eyes and salt in my throat
I’ve never been so glad to get off a boat

Verse 2
Rapped up in hope and quite a bit of luck
I looked up at fortune and then a thought struck
I’m a stranger in this land but I feel so at home
From my head to my feet and every bone

Chorus
To realise my every dream I’ve had
Realise the choice of good and bad
I may be a stranger in this distant land
But I feel so at home with my brother Galahad

Middle 8
I feel such an old man at age of twenty two
I’ve seen so much hardship with so much to do
I pull myself up with an invisible hand
This is my home. This is my land

Verse 3
The crowd surged forward in the afternoon sun
A voice shouted walk and please don’t run
And then I saw someone raise a gun 
It chilled the spine, I’m sure, in everyone.

Verse 4
I closed my eyes for a moment or two
The crowd surged forward. They stepped on my shoes
Crushed up together, I felt black and blue
The queue seemed so long but soon I was through.

There to Here  Pt. 2

Cast of Characters:
mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark-- VST sax solo, harmonica solo, organ, tremolo guitar (synth), composition, arrangement, mix
Mysterious Decibel--@themysteriousdecibel --MD—lyrics & vocals
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– second electric guitar solo, and mastering
J.J. Terrell–@j-j-terrell –piano and electric piano solo
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara -–Ken–drums and percussion
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –-four string fretless bass, first electric guitar solo, rhythm guitar comping 

This song originated with a slower more Jazz oriented track Mark had previously written ('1 For The Money, 3 For The Blues' https://on.soundcloud.com/BtSS4). However, he wanted a more 'suped up' version with solos turns, so he turned to The Eclectic Collective (EC) to fill in the pieces by replacing some of his solos with their own. Mark had some lyrics in mind too, however, once he heard The Mysterious Decibel's excellent lyrics and vocals, the song totally changed the direction and the vibe, for the stellar. 

   Once we had a basic structure, Ken, as always, came up with the rhythmic foundation for the song, allowing Josh to add his version of Mark's bass line. Then, after MD gave us the vocals, we got down to adding the solos. As more EC members jumped on board with new parts, Mark kept lengthening the song, moving the solos & vocals around until it's final current arrangement. JJ opens the song with his thrilling piano solo, as well as the electric piano solo where he joins Mark on VST Sax right after the first singing verses. Then Josh added a melodic and very clean toned guitar solo with a very clean tone - the first of the two guitar turns. After that, Stephen added his fiery guitar solo with a more overdriven tone. After one more vocal verse from MD, Mark stepped back in to close it out with his nasty harp solo at the end. After Mark handled the mixing on this song, we turned once again to Stephen to take care of the final sound production and mastering, which he fulfilled expertly.  

  We hope you enjoy this jazzier side of the EC as much as we enjoyed making it. MD's lyrics are about a psycho killer artist who hides clues about his murders in his paintings. 
-Original Lyrics by The Mysterious Decibel:

Some might say he's crafty and planned
With a shade of black and a brush in his hand
Some might say the world is his oyster
But no pearl lays inside just a conjuring blur

He'll paint you a murderous scene
With the blending of  sin all between pigments of green
He's a shady fella who hides behind the canvas!
I spy something with my little eye
This art might show just where he died

Will you find it?
The secret
Some freak shit
are you so sure you'll really wanna Keep it ?
The secret
Are you so sure you'll really wanna keep it?
Ahhh a little secret
Are you so sure you'll really wanna keep it?
It'll haunt your mind like it does him too
He's a swifty one he'll come for you!
The secret
The secret
The secret
Are you so sure you'll really wanna keep it?

I spy something with my little eye
This art might show just where he died

His art might show
might show
might show
just where he died

Side Note:
This past Tuesday, we released a fun little series of interviews over a 20 minute medley of some of our favorite musical moments. If you want to hear our voices and some of our thoughts about music, check it out! You might really enjoy it, especially if you follow us, and have been for a while. It's a celebration of all of our work over the past almost year together in various forms. This song was supposed to be a showcase of all of our skills to accompany that medley, except Tez isn't in on this one. He'll be on the next one, though, for sure! 
Thanks for listening!

'A Brush With Death' Blues (with The Eclectic Collective)

The Smoking Trout's Quest for the Holy Dumpling continues! When we left our travelers they had just been given a tip that they needed to travel from New Mexico to Oaxaca for the next leg of their journey. This latest track is basically an instrumental interlude but it re-samples the holy dumpling ingredient list that was recited during the last episode by a "Sufi sitting on the sidewalk serenely spouting scripture from the Transcendental Dharma of the Holy Dumpling".

I started this one, Jeff infused it with some incredibly creative experimental guitar and electronic touches, Stephen killed it on rhythm and lead guitar once again, and joining us for the second (but not the last) time, Masa a.k.a. Tot reinforced the groove by adding a really nice additional drum beat.

Oaxaca (Smoking Trout's HOLY DUMPLING #8) w/ Stonerjazz, TexMex Shaman, & Tot

Dear friends, it is a big day when a little guy will taste real food for the first time in his life. We were sent a video of this spectacle and you could see how grateful this little baby was for the little porridge served by his sister!
This song may be a little bit crazy, but it is an expression of love between a sister and a newborn little brother.

Lyrics inEnglish

Hugo's Big Day

It is on this day that something important will happen
they feel they are a little anxious
now it depends on - everyone knows what they are doing
if something goes wrong when this boy is to be trained

Is it said who does everything who experiments
it has to be someone you can trust
who could it be - it must be her
which shows that she always loves this little boy

What is going to happen now, is it something huge
it is now that his taste buds will be tested
because now it will be a little porridge - which he gets from his sister
and the reward is a small smile from this boy
        

Lyrics in Swedish

Hugos Stora Dag

Det är denna dagen som något viktigt ska hända
            G.       D. Em.                  Am.           G.   D
de känner att de är lite ängsliga
       Em.              Am     G.      D.      G
nu hänger det på att - alla vet vad de gör  
      G.                   C.     C.         D.        G
om nu något blir fel när denna pojken ska tränas
             G.           D.                   C.               D.  G

Är det sagt vem som gör allt vem som experimenterar
           G.                     D.  Em.              Am.           G.D
det måste vara någon man kan lita på
        Em.            Am.                   G.  D.       G
vem kan det nu bli - det måste vara hon
         G.              C.    C.             D.     G
som visar att hon alltid älskar denna lille pojken
         G.                 D.                 C.             D.  G

Vad är det som nu ska ske är det något som är jättestort
       G.               D.         Em.          Am.                  G.    D
det är nu som hans smaklökar testas skall
          Em.                  Am.          G.        D.       G
för nu blir det lite gröt - som han får av syster sin
           G.                C.     C.                     D.       G
och belöningen blir ett litet leende från denna pojk
            G.           D.               C.        D.              G

Kept it very close to original and added some elements from Sapiosensual of Lauren Mia.

I Took Your Love / NA•RO Remix

Imagine If,...peace was the only solution...

Dark ambient music.

Disfruto haciendo esto, y espero que vosotros disfrutéis igual produciendo vuestros temas. 
Aquí podréis escuchar todos mis temas producidos desde el 2023, que es cuando comencé con ello. 
Intento mejorar y explorar nuevos sonidos y ritmos en cada tema, siempre de un modo dark, sin ir a buscarlo, parece ser que ese es mi estilo aunque quien sabe en qué acabará esto. 

I enjoy doing this, and I hope you enjoy producing your songs as well.
Here you can listen to all my songs produced since 2023, which is when I started.
I try to improve and explore new sounds and rhythms in each song, always in a dark way, without going out of my way to find them. That seems to be my style, although who knows how this will end.
