very cool stuff from some of my friends March '23

A youth work  recorded times ago on 4 tracks tape, and digitized recently 
I did my best to improve the sound so I ask all your tolerance... ^^
This music - and its title - has inspired the artist Nataly NGM to realize this illustration. Big thanks for her!

PURSUIT IN THE NIGHT - Bruno C

Lyrics:
I want to tell you a story
'Bout a little man, if I can
A gnome named Grimble Grumble
And little gnomes stay in their homes
Eating, sleeping
Drinking their wine
He wore a scarlet tunic
A blue-green hood, it looked quite good
He had a big adventure
Amidst the grass, fresh air at last
Wining, dining
Biding his time
And then one day
Hooray!
Another way for gnomes to say
Ooh my
Look at the sky, look at the river
Isn't it good?
Look at the sky, look at the river
Isn't it good?
Winding, finding places to go
And then one day
Hooray!
Another way for gnomes to say
Ooh my
Ooh my

I've Got An Idea, But..

A collaboration with Steve’s Planet… his vocal, harmonica and guitar… my drums, percussion and bass guitar… hope you enjoy!!!

Working Guy-Steve’s Planet/ K2 and the Three

This idea was one of those that you have to hurry up and hit record before the idea passes... so I did. The original recording received a lot of listens and feedback, but it was not a quality recording. The idea was there. I just did my best to salvage what was recorded and remix it into this one mix.

I hope you enjoy it as much as the original version. 
Many Thanks for listening!!!

Lyrics:

All grows dim, time is winding down
My cheeks stay hovered over a puddle of brown
The voices outside of this cramped little box
These choices i've made to breed these cramped up blocks

The shit bubbles burst and trap all the flies
A concoction so twisted, Only someone like Bill Nye
Can decipher all these lies
Can scythe all of these cries
as this pit of stench boils in the middle of July

Out there the souls, eager for pressure to burst
Through their minds like a submarine tank submersed
Parades gather in the grass for the show to start
While these waves slowly rip my brain apart

A wetness caresses my hang lo mein
This water is rising am I going insane?
It tickles my demons but it feels so ripe
There's always a bit of shit at the end of the pipe!

I'm in a fecal position where the turds capsize
In a fetal position where my sanity dies
This suddenly doesn't seem so real anymore
As the septic tank thickens with the sludge of war
Where the turds capsize
In a fetal position where my sanity dies
This suddenly doesn't seem so real anymore
As the septic tank thickens with the sludge of war
The slimy hand of stench, Pulls me right down
In a puddle of madness, many shades of brown
NO NO NO NO NOOO!
Get a little taste of the waste in the swamp!

Kick'n Back

We’re praying for peace
Never losing hope
My faith I keep very close
Dancin out my grave
Seen a Holy Ghost
Yeah I’m on some drugs
But there not even close
See what I use to do is get really high
Then drink enough so I would black out and die
Thought the universe needed me
Well maybe she does
Are you seeing things different like I was
Love can fuck you up
And I can promise you that
There’s never enough
Nope I don’t have the answers
That’s exactly why I keep on dancing.

Coming Through-(Ground Floor-The REMIX)
Thought I was a lightweight
My flight plan—is up to date  
my playlist —on rotate 
beats bumping ——with tight brakes
just Call that———-solid State
Not here ——to negotiate
touchdowns—of—a—heavyweight 
I score ——and I penetrate 
Gone platinum —-straight out the gate
The crowd’s up——— we——celebrate
The pulse ——and the heart rate
No——-overtime—I’m feeling great 
The vibe’s ——love—-and never —hate
this is—-how ——-I navigate
———-Not here to negotiate 

—coming through—- with a vengeance 
declared my independence 
It’s underground not industry
I’ve got them doing penance 
that’s right—- took the high road 
not paid——-but i upload
The mix ——stirred—-to sound good
they’re hanging—— on my every word —(X2)
….On my every word

Thank god——- for his blessings 
Each track’s———a new lesson 
Hold on tight——-I’m coming through
Monument—still——collecting 
There—-Ain’t no second guessing
Looking forward—— for my next win
believe it—when—they leave—-
Like Lettuce—-cause—-I’m the dressing
—-no resting—— now—the best thing
Expanding and Investing———-
So ——Dreams are manifesting 
—-The flames I spit—-the game is lit🔥🔥 🔥
I’m burning —-down the contest
fireworks ——at your doorstep 
Scorch earth—-plan——in effect
You heard of me—-you know the rep
If you Feel the heat ——-you overslept 
Here’s your wake up call —-more or less 
Not a word —cause—-you’re speechless

Like water in the low land 
from China —straight—to Japan 
They’ll never —-know my flight plan, 
Or the reasons— that I don’t land 
Stay cool if you’re a fan——-
Calm—-cause I’ve got this
On the edge of——the abyss
A mystery they—-can’t resist
—Still—-drenched in sweat
Your Dripping wet—your look is pure anguish

No——heat —as hot—-as this
The flame’s——just infinite
That flows—polar opposites
That’s the flight of a Phoenix 
——that’s right bro ——you feel this
That’s the light of a Phoenix
The flight of a Phoenix

🔥🔥 🔥

IN THE LIGHT  (Version)

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, last summer ('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), and Stephen (Texmex Shaman), although we have also added Mark (mistermark) and The Mysterious Decibel to the mix this fall. A couple of other musicians are frequent collaborators, as well, including Artur of Surfers Like Us, and Steve Vervaet of Steve's World. 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. In fact, 100% of what I do is collaboration, within the group or with other amazing artists like Chris Maness (@cgmaness).
  I, and we, are also available for hire if you have a song 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, Radiohead, Rye Cooder, Steve Earle, Miles Davis, Fela Kuti, Arcade Fire, Mikey Dread, Yellowman, Purpleman, The Grateful Dead, 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, 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, and Sean Lennon, 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'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 some 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 recordings, 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, I just don't have access to it. 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.
  Recently, over the summer of '23, I formed a collective of my fellow SoundCloud musicians into a loose band called the Eclectic Collective. We have core members, but the lineup changes weekly. I basically found my favorite musicians on here, and asked them if they wanted to collaborate. It keeps growing strong. If you have some music that you think a band could bring to life, please hit me up and we'll see if we can add you, too. 
Here's a link to music I've recorded with a group of musicians here in Pittsburgh called The Northumberland Street Ramblers.
