Ken (K2 and the Three) asked if I could remix this Eclectic Collective song from last year. I tried to bring out the individual performances more and added the rather lovely J.J. keyboards ambient intro. Hope you enjoy 😎

Happy Ever After - Llanpsych mix

The Shangri-La Mushroom Dance

QUE FONT NOS DIRIGEANTS

Cast of Characters:
Cgmaness – @hiddenhands-760647700 – Chris – beats, acoustic and electric guitar, vocals, composition, and production
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 – five string fretless bass, organ, composition, and production editing
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– sitar, composition, and production

This was a seed that Chris came up with on his acoustic guitar, adding beats, and some subtle vocals, then shared with Josh and Stephen. They are always excited to work on Chris' songs, because he always comes up with magical tunes.
  Josh was first in line, adding his five string fretless bass, then the organ part. Stephen used Josh's chord structure to come up with his awe-inspiring, monster electric sitar part. After they both laid down their parts, Chris added the electric guitar you hear at the beginning, too. 
  The song was about twice the current length when Chris made it, but Josh chopped off the second half, as the crescendo fits right into the 2/3 slot now. This was mixed as a team effort in BandLab, too, which is a rarity, given both Stephen and Chris are expert producers. 
  This is an example of a song Chris came up with, that was taken to the next level by Josh and Stephen. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Juxtaposed They Went (Eclectic Collective)

I was looking at old photos of a town gathering in the 1800s for a lynching. I was struck at the carnival atmosphere, the presence of all kinds of people, women and children. This is disturbing but very real and it is NOT confined to America,the South but instead is a sad global problem with religions and "God". Too often I think religions are excuses to commit some of the most awful  human atrocities . Religions,like leader cults(nazis/emperorsetc), seem to blind masses into justifying the slaughter  of the enemy of the day. God in most religions preached tolerance/forgiveness/inclusion and yet these fundamental principles are conveniently forgotten when it comes time to fulfill some self serving goal, monetary/territorial or ego. I wish I knew why

lyrics
glowing yellow sun
clear bright blue sky
leaves are dancing in the wind

sherriff and the barber
the doctor and the lawyer 
all the townspeople are there

just to meet and greet
and to chat about
the news and their hopes and fears

The children all are there
dressed up in their best
blue eyes and many happy smiles

then the time arrives
the crowd all turn their head
they march the black man to the tree

a noose slips round his neck
they pull him up on high
so his legs can swing free

there's heard a horrible crack
that splits the morning air
the children look up and they stare
as his legs they shake
and his body quivers
until he hangs there still and limp

then the children turn around and finish up their games 
on this bright and sunny day

now it's time to go
they hear the parents say
off to church to learn to pray

"praise God??really??

praise God??what are you thinking?

Landscape before the storm.

Look at the rain (Mushroom Mix)

Prologue to a fantasy adventure

Karin Tarabochia: German text and voice

Jonathan Beckenstein: English text, voice, music

The words are below, followed by a note from Karin.

Mit der Königsdisziplin vertraut werden, dem Feind die Hand reichen, der Liebe ins Wort schauen, mein Herzwohl in den Raum öffnen und verzichten auf das Normale, vergessen, was normal war, mein Jetzt, das Katastrophale, ins Licht stellen, anvertrauen, übergeben, die Sichel vom Nacken nehmen, den Brand von den Flammen lösen, Abschied nehmen vom Gewohnten, ich werde diesen Weg gehen.

Are we sleeping together tonight
As the room goes on fire around us
And the walls crumble into our bed
Are we sleeping together again?

Are we sleeping together my love
As the hours pass by us untried
Do our dreams disappear when we waken
Are we sleeping again side by side?

Are we sleeping together this year
As the seasons pass by us untasted
And only a handful to come
Are we sleeping together my love?

from Karin:

We create a LOVE NET by making "chains", adding the own love music and vocals to music or vocals that are already in the playlist. Feel free to use any existing part in love and respect, and remix, develop, continue, add ... the aim is to let chains grow and spread to a net. In order to that it makes sense to keep the parts short, that is possible to hear longer chains. It would be lovely to hear love messages in many languages. Please copy the description in your description, that it can go on, and when publishing please make it downloadable for others.
1. download an existing chain or single part
2. add yours
3.publish all together including the description in your description

And from me: If anyone wants individual stems from this piece to use in any way with Karin's voice, as she suggests, please message me. Thanks.

Part the Fire, Side by Side (with Augenmerk)

A laboratory with an open bar and floating altar. Come on in! 

Here are various solo and collaborative projects - songs, soundscapes, live looped solo guitar improvisations. 

This project used to be called "imaginary friends", but it became too real for that name, as did many of you.

I hope you enjoy something you find here. Do feel free to be in touch, you never know what might happen.  

I also invite you to attend @hypnopompetus, a duo project with the illustrious Cheesemont Paisley-Paisley https://soundcloud.com/sel-sync, and Fictive Sisters, a transatlantic band with  the incomparable Wheelwright https://fictivesisters.bandcamp.com/album/immaculate-distraction.
