This song began in the dead of winter on a cold night with Josh sitting in his studio with his acoustic guitar playing along to a looper beat. He loves bossa nova music and wanted to write a song in that style. Of course, he wrote it with the Eclectic Collecive in mind. 
  Josh also came up with the bass line to the looper, but changed it once Ken weighed in with his perfectly suited drum kit. He also added the funky main percussion you hear throughout. Then JJ got involved and laid down that wonderfully melodic organ part you hear in there. Josh, having not laid down a lead guitar part yet, used JJ melodic idea for the first verse, too, because it's so strong. Mark was last to the trough, but added several really stunning parts that added a lot of depth to the whole thing. He's responsible for the horn arrangement that accompanies JJ's organ solo, as well as the horn arrangement and entire break section at the end, which he not only drumed on, but edited and inserted seamlessly, as well. He also added percussion to Ken's percussion throughout the entire song, as well. He still gets paid the same as the rest of us, though 
  This is an example of us Josh introducing an unfamiliar type of music, and it being picked up on and carried through expertly as a group unit. We all love a challenge in the EC, and this fit the bill. We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Love to share my sketchbook with you and on your playlist! ❤️

"Magic is what we do. Music is how we do it." -- Jerry Garcia

Welcome to my page, my peers, associates, friends, and musical family. I'm a lifelong, multi-instrumentalist musician who records prolifically and joyfully. You'll hear me play guitar, bass (regular four string, and four and five string fretless), mandolin, banjo, keys (piano, organ, synth), lap slide, sitar, and sing on my recordings here. I've been in a few dozen bands in my life, playing everything from bluegrass, jazz, rock, jam band, reggae, funk, afrobeat, Middle Eastern, traditional Irish, singer/songwriter, pop/covers, to experimental/avant garde. 
  Since I found SoundCloud a couple years ago, I've found many talented, creative people with whom to create music. However, in the summer of '23 I formed a band called The Eclectic Collective with some of my favorite musicians I've met through here. It started as a loose collective of musicians and coalesced into a core group of musicians who find other musicians with whom we'd like to make music, then run their songs through our process, and in effect add a full band. That core of The Eclectic Collective includes Tez (Llanpsych), J.J. Terrel, Ken (K2 and the Three), Stephen (Texmex Shaman), Chris (cgmaness), and Mark (mistermark). A couple of other musicians are frequent collaborators, as well, including Artur of Surfers Like Us, and Steve Vervaet of Steve's World. More recently, we've been joined by Carl of The Beautiful Dark fame. 
  The magic of music is amplified exponentially by each person adding to it. So, we really try to add our sorcery all kinds of music from all kinds of artists. Sometimes, we keep it within the group, but a lot of what we do is collaboration with other artists. Therefore these days, 100% of what I do is collaboration, within the group or with other artists on the side.
  I, and we, are also available for hire if you have a song or lyrics and you really want to add bigger instrumentation or a band and good production to it. 
  A small sampling of the artists whom I consider primary influences, and whom you will hear coming through my fingers include Phish, The Flaming Lips, The Grateful Dead, Radiohead, Rye Cooder, Steve Earle, Miles Davis, Fela Kuti, Arcade Fire, Mikey Dread, Yellowman, Purpleman, The Meditations, Michigan and Smiley, Lee Perry, Dillinger, Django Reinhardt, Impossible Recording Machine, The Allman Bros Band, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Cream, Bela Fleck, Les Claypool, Sam Bush, David Grissman, John Prine, Talking Heads, Beastie Boys, MMW, Moe., Morphine, Ween, Steve Lukather, Michael McDonald, John Abercrombie, Dave Holland, John Scofield, Victor Wooten,  Cannonball Adderly, Thelonious Monk, Flea, Parliament Funkadelic,  Frank Zappa, Prince Paul, Pete Rock, Thievery Corporation, Amon Tobin, Chet Baker, Joao Gilberto, Stan Getz, Astrud Gilberto, Carol Kaye, Tame Impala, Mumford and Sons, Japanese Breakfast, LCD Soundsystem, Beach House, Sean Lennon, and Billy Strings, but of course there are many more. I also really like and am influenced by traditional Iranian, Palestinian, Indian, Sri Lankan, Sudanese, Mauritian, Somalian, Egyptian, West African, and Syrian music. I welcome anyone who plays non-western music to contact me for a collaboration, too.
 I'm overjoyed to have found my community on SoundCloud. This is a truly unique forum where everyone is sincerely trying to build each other up. The profoundly supportive and positive SoundCloud community has really opened up an exciting new world of collaboration for me. That is the main reason I'm in the Cloud, actually, to connect with other musicians and make music that I enjoy listening to, and hopefully others do, as well. I am ALWAYS looking to collaborate with interesting musicians, mostly though BandLab, which is where I record almost exclusively. It's a solid, free digital audio workstation hub where you can share recording projects, even if it's not where you make your recordings.
  Everything I do is live instrumental, not programmed, and using no computer beyond my phone. That's not to say that I would be opposed to using that kind of tool, it's just not my preferred medium with which to paint. If you like my music, please share it. If you want to collaborate, my BandLab handle is @bingo_pajama. Feel free to contact me at cornbreadband@hotmail.com, as well, even if you aren't on BandLab.
  If your music is primarily AI, please don't come around my page, as I'm not at all interested in complimenting a machine.
  Here's a link to music I've recorded live with a group of musicians here in Pittsburgh called The Northumberland Street Ramblers.

  I was introduced to the  folkloric musical traditions as a young child. 
A London primary school  ,who favoured  the arts nurtured my curiosity,giving me the opportunity to play a wide variety of instruments including violin , percussion ,flutes  and singing too  I  participated  in a buoyant  musical and artístic community.
A  female music student from Kingston University London , who lodged  introduced me to the piano,  before I started at the local primary school.
After a wee while, 
  ,I was sent to take piano lessons from 
a   female Czsec piano teacher, who was  also a concert pianist . She took up the  unenviable task of training me in the classical piano music traditions and entered me to audition for a  junior  scholarship place at what is now The Guildhall School of Music , London .
 I was awarded a full grant  to attend by the London Arts council to attend.
The Grant include fully funded tuition on first study Piano and 2nd study Flute. Also included were  musicianship classes to cover aural training theory, extemporisation . composition  and orchestral  and choral participation.

Regular opportunities to perform in the classic salon  with ensembles  and as a soloist  in the main college was all part of the lively and cohesive musical community. 
All  learning materials ,scores were  reimbursed on submission of receipts to the  conservatoire's accounts department.

My first track was uploaded on my 38th B-Day.
Now I am 45. just came back to Sweep away my Frustration during the Pandemic. The girl just wanna Have fun :-)

ThrillMonkey’s love of excitement and danger has evolved into a unique blend of musical styles including hip hop, metal, rock, drum & bass, and rap. Their signature sound is instantly recognized by it’s originality and aggressive presentation.

Composer, performer and producer, my influences are eclectic, among them: Talking Heads, Depeche Mode, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Prince, Aphex Twin, Beirut, RadioHead, Daft Punk, Vampire Week-End, Tony Allen, Joy Division, Kamixlo, Baby Metal, DJ Hell, Cypress Hill, AC/DC, The Raconteurs, SantiGold, Tom Morello, Mozart, J.S. Bach, The Kills, Fugazi, Helmet, Hendrix, Mad Season, QOTSA, Charlie Parker, Coltrane, Miles Davis, Cesaria Evora, Stromae... and so many others.

Raw sounds are what I like most, and I prefer focusing on the vibration produced by the interweaving of complementary melodies rather than adding spectacular effects.
I have been a guitarist and singer in several rock bands. Meeting the audience in concert with my friends was exhilarating, but I had long wanted to lead a personal project.
All composition ideas in this project came to me while walking, a discipline that I am passionate about. City, Forest, Mountain, everything that can be walked makes me want to put one foot in front of the other.
I am pleased to present this project that could be classified in the Electro-Pop category, although some metal, ambient, Jazz or Funk colors frequently come to it, with measure but enthusiasm. I leave you to judge the consistency of the whole and the category in which you would like to put it.
Welcome to my world of walking musician, hoping to discover some interesting landscapes along the way.

I will sing at some point but this is the next step. I'll focus on creating music for now.

Good listening.
