Don't rely on time but on yourself to be the architect of important changes.

Doppelgänger is a musical project by Salvatore Montieri.
The style of the project is mainly based on electronic sounds and electronic music, although it combines various genres in his music. A blend of electronic music, IDM, glitch, Techno, beat, experimenting with contaminations with classical, jazz, folk, pop, rock music.
It is a musical project that cannot be pigeonholed into a static and stale department. The stimuli, as in everyday relational life, come from multiculturalism, from artistic, sentimental, even psychological diversity.
It is a real journey into the different mental states, nothing artificially constructed. It is a full immersion in a natural composition, following instinct and passion. A necessary combination of a soul, dissolute or modest, which emerges prevailing in all its possible imaginable forms.

Doppelgänger arises from the need for continuous experimentation, renewal, transformation, change that goes beyond one's way of being. Experimentation becomes of fundamental importance, and not the sensations.
In experimentation there is no awareness of the experimenter and of his sensations. When the experimentation comes to an end, that's when the sensations begin.
The desire to repeat an experience is the request for sensations: and while sensations can be repeated, experimentation cannot.
It is the desire for sensation that forces us to depend on outward lines and shapes. Sensations have a beginning and an end, they can be repeated and spread; but the experimentation is not within the limits of time. Experimentation, which is quite different from repetition of an experience, is without continuity. Only in experimentation is there renewal, transformation.

"I want to get to the point where I can feel the vibes of a particular place at a particular time, and compose a song right there, on the spot ... and finally leave it behind me."
John Coltrane

This latest Eclectic Collective song was probably the most collaborative in a true sense as we've yet released. The song began with Josh trying to piece together a couple of ideas that he'd come up with on the piano. He sent his ideas to JJ, who took out a connecter section that Josh had no intention of making anything of, and turned it into the body of the song. He returned the song to Josh complete with a signature JJ Terrell climactic coda. Then Josh added the bass to JJ's piano, with some help from the always solid drums from Ken. The way it usually goes is that Josh comes up with a scratch bass line to accompany the song, then Ken adds drums, then Josh goes back and adds the bass to fit the beat. Sometimes they go back and forth, but not this time so much.

Then, Stephen added the foundational guitar in the first section, and came up with the idea for the coda. Josh added some mandolin to the coda, too, after which Stephen redid the guitar in the coda to make it very dynamic and part the clouds. Tez finally came along and added the fiery solo and the charming fills in the main section. Most of this time, MD had been working on the narrative lyrics and refining his melodic vocals. Finally, Stephen put it all together for us and mixed it in his expert fashion.

We hope you enjoy the thrill of the climax, and also get a chuckle out of the lyrics, which are included below.

Let me tell you 'bout a dancer yeah!
A mysterious one
She dances to the decibel
She's a A shape shifter from the stars
She doesn't cast no shadow
The light makes things bizarre
She'll mold a new soul in you
And get your grandmother too
She'll bleed you from afar

It's an Early time and a late night
On a mothership deep in flight
Yeah!
It's an Early time and a late night
When the grays are seeing white!

Yeah, you know what I'm talkin' about

Oh baby you caught me off guard I think it's gonna be a early time and a Late night

Hubba bubba max
Hubble space snacks
I'm playing galaga
Waiting for climax
It didn't take long
A few setbacks

One and done in the black hole
With the Shape shifting of my gun
The time was short but the blast quaked
It was all over before it begun
The frown Came over her like a storm cloud dropping down torrential rain
The frown came over me some time later when the little fetus from Mars slopped onto the terrain

It's an Early time and a late night
On a mothership deep in flight
It's an Early time and a late night
When the grays are seeing white

{Get that thing away from me
Stay on your home planet}

Just One minute altered my universe
My reputation outside of the earth
Flys away in a hearse
Now I'm just the minute man of the cosmos
With an infant out there somewhere they call him... space Frankenstein that's what she knows

It's an Early time and a late night
On a mothership deep in flight
It's an Early time and a late night
When the grays are seeing white

  This is a song that JJ created late one Saturday night on the piano, drums, bass, and guitar. You can hear his Grateful Dead influence if you're familiar with the band. He then presented it to the rest of the Eclectic Collective so we could do our thing with it. Josh replaced JJ's rough bass with his interpretation of the line as soon as Ken replaced the drums with his interpretation of the beat. Interestingly, Ravel's Bolero had a lot to do with the inspiration for the second part of the song. After the rhythm section was done, we turned it over to Stephen, who came up with some really subtle, yet very necessary guitar lines. 
  We then turned it over to our relatively new collaborator, Mark, who came up with the lyrics and vocals. He was also instrumental in getting the arrangement to fit right with the vocals. This is a lyrical and vocal songwriting debut for Mark, who was inspired by his very first listen to JJ's rough draft. Thus, this song is extra special for him.  
 We all hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we did creating it.
  Mark's lyrics are about our Earthly relatives in the far distant future. At that point life on earth would have just about reached its limits, and so mankind embarks on a journey through space to find another place to call home.

Lyrics:

Part 1:
All you know, all you love is here today
Feel the sun, see the flowers embrace her rays
And you know, all we have must fade away
And now its time to go… away…

Part 2:
Here we are, flying high, flying high above the moons of Mars
And beyond another sunrise greets a world once again,
a million miles from where we are
To embrace the flowers of Jupiter, once again…
On and on we sail away, searching for another day,
the universe an endless sea
And you know that somewhere out there,
a brand new world, for you and me….

Sitting In My Rocking Chair

A composition based on a slightly silly poem of mine. 

"Daylight came, daylight went, and then a big, bright moon was sent,
 To visit and to dream with me, just as I poured a cup of tea.
 The night flew by to meet the dawn, then suddenly the moon was gone,
 A lovely sight, a magic night, spent dreaming with the moon.”
