Once I wrote a description here !!!

Ok let's say I started adding layers to the great music https://soundcloud.com/progrockdan1 sent to me.

Letra (translated lyrics below)

Se arrastró bajo los muros,
llorando.
Se filtró por las ranuras,
buscándome.
Y miró entre las fisuras,
deseando:
mucho claro, nada oscuro,
llamándome…
 
Mas el centinela mágico
de quijadas relucientes,
descarnado por los dientes
de mil y un gusanos cárnicos,
por la acción más degenérica
de venenos de odio y muerte,
este ser, cerebro inerte,
la detuvo, niña histérica…
 
Pero huyó,
vio sentada su promesa de llamarme.
Y escapó,
Vio prendido su deseo de amarme.
Sensación
de saber que era la presa, fuego y carne,
y en la intensa luz de vida vino a hallarme;
y me encontró.
-------------------------------------------
She crawled under the walls,
crying.
She filtered through the grooves,
searching for me.
And she looked inside the fissures,
wishing:
much clarity, no darkness,
calling me…

But the magic sentry
of shining jawbones,
eaten to the bone by the teeth
of thousand and one meat worms,
For the most degenerated action
of poisons of hatred and death,
this being, inert brain,
detained her, hysterical girl …

But she fled,
found assured her promise of calling me.
And she escaped,
found on fire her willing to love me.
Sensation
of knowing that she was the prey, fire and flesh,
and in the intense light of life she came to find me;
and she did.

Ella huyó - She fled (with ProgRockDan1)

Original lyrics:

A lake, an ocean, to be crossed
The light shining through the surface, sometimes lost
Around the bottom of the sea we almost cried
I was never colder than that artic night

Going straight ahead is all that I can do
Up and down, all around; life's whirlpool
Lay my tail upon a rock
And dream

The schools of fish seemed lost in all the noise
A passing whale who lost his voice
A nice warm pool of a fleeting duel
A cloudy red trial, a happy ruse

The light shining through the surface is sometimes bright
The deeper you are, the harder it is, to tell day or night
Travel far and wide

The Lost Merman 🧜‍♂️

Autumn Sun

Above The Sky

Ned I Gjørma Vinyl Mixtape 1 Januar 2024

For an aggressive violent species we seem to have great unreasonable fear of anything that looks different than us. We seem to lack the self confidence/insight/character to ask questions first and attack later.
We should embrace difference, seek facts, trust ourselves and others

lyrics

Familiar isn't perfect
Different isn't evil
Keep that in mind
Before you pull the trigger
and take the life of someone
you've never looked at in the eye
Just because some leader has filled your head with lies

Radical white christian
Holds a bible and a rock
Cries out he must protect his world
From the invading colored hoardes
He uses the words of Jesus
To explain his fear and hate
But Jesus wasn't white
and Jesus never threw a stone
so what makes you think
you've got it right at all
If you listened to his words
He'd say he came down here
to save each and everyone of us
and not just you my dear

Neonazis raise their fists
Hate all but their own
an Aryan nation pure and perfect
they couldn't be more wrong
the only thing I know for sure
that's pure and perfect in this world
is a bar of ivory soap[
If they were to look inside
in each a little gypsy hides
but they are too afraid to face the fact
that it's not "them" they hate, they hate themselves

Flowers come in different
colors shapes and sizes
but all need sun and water
to flourish and survive
we all get cold and hungry
we all have fears and needs
but black white or red you see
there is no supremacy

we are drowning in an ocean
of lies and fears and myths
it's easy to get lost
and do something you'll regret
so use your common sense
seek out the facts and truth
think for yourself and think of others
not as foes but as brothers

we all climb the same mountain
the slope is steep and slick
It is easier to get there 
if we offer a hand and not a fist

Familiar isn't perfect

Cast of Characters:
John_Anthony-- @john-anthony-871225464 --guitar, mandolin
The Mysterious Decibel-- @themysteriousdecibel – vocals
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara -–Ken–drums and high harmony on the end vocals
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– banjo, production, and mix
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –-four string fretless bass, melody and harmony on the end vocals
This song began with John, who is a verifiable expert in all things Jimmy Page, asking me and the Eclectic Collective if we'd like to cover another Led Zeppelin song to follow Hey Hey What Can I Do? Of course, the Eclectic collective is always down to sink their teeth into some of the best rock and roll ever made. John found us recordings of the original Zep version that were separated into their individual tracks, so as we were adding, we could hear what our part would've sounded like playing with the original band. What a thrill!
  Ken was first to complete his part, and did a great job of capturing the frenetic energy of Bonzo. John was up soon after, amazing us with a note for note interpretation of Page on both the guitar and mandolin. I came next, after nearly deciding that JPS's part was too difficult. It wasn't. Then, when the bulk of the music was recorded, MD came through and stunned us with a brilliant interpretation of Plant's vocals. To bring it to a boil, Stephen then laid down his magical banjo in there, too. Lasty, Ken and I polished it off with some background vocals at the end. 
  Of course, every great song needs a great producer, who in this case was Stephen. He managed to even it out and get it to sound not only like the album, but very dynamic, as well. 
  This is the EC's second collaboration with John, and we're all stricken by how proficient he is at playing Page's material. If you dig what we did here, you can check out the video, too, right here, of us playing. It's on John's YouTube page, which also contains scores of other favorites from Zep, Floyd, and others. If you are interested in seeing how your favorite Zep tunes were played, it's definitely worth a stroll through and watch.  Here's the link to his page. Also, you can find us doing Hey Hey What Can I Say? on there, too.  https://youtube.com/@johnanthony5720?si=7YqvUXLKkuXT4qjy
  We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed making it.

Gallows Pole by Led Zeppelin (Eclectic Collective with John Anthony)

Ode To Spring

Cast of Characters:

Roy Roy – @user-967672349 – Roy – foundational guitar, composition, and arrangement
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- organ, electric piano, synth sax, synth strings, synth brass, production, and mix
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– whah guitar, and mastering
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums, percussion 
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – 4-string fretless bass

This song began as a well developed, funky disco idea Roy came up with on his guitar, and shared with JJ. JJ added a wonderfully complex orchestration of various keys, including brass, strings, and the sax solo you hear towards the end. 
  JJ invited Stephen Stephen first, who came up with the funky ass wah guitar that also carries the groove. Of course, JJ realized that this is a disco song, so he enlisted Ken to come up with one of his awesome beats to carry it along. JJ had a rudimentary bass line that he played himself, but decided to get me to do the honors instead. So, I came up with a totally new bass line designed to shake your cheeks.
Once it was in the can, we decided to ask have JJ mix it for us. This is a first time JJ has mixed a song for The Eclectic Collective, and we were all impressed with his work. Stephen mastered it, as he is a master masterer. 
  We're all really impressed and delighted with the experience of working with Roy and his music. He is a very talented artist with a lot of great music to check out on his page, too.
  We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it, and that it makes you shake your hips while you're doing the dishes, too!

Shag Carpet (Eclectic Collective with Roy Roy)

Cast of Characters:

Frans Beelaard – @user-936947521 – Fender electric bass, Roland synthesizer bass, Gibson SG electric guitar rhythm, Godin electric guitar slide background, trumpet background, horn section, including alto, tenor, and baritone saxophones, Hohner Blues Bender harmonica solo, Gibson 335 electric guitar background rhythm, a full set drum kit, percussion, cowbell, and tambourine! He also composed the song
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–  Duesneberg Starplayer TV Phonic hollow body electric guitar
Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – Gibson Les Paul electric guitar
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- Yamaha workstation organ and piano
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–lyrics and vocals 
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 – PRS semi-hollow body electric guitar


This is a song that Frans wrote, recorded, and gave to Josh to share with the Eclectic Collective. Frans is playing all the foundational instruments of the incredibly intricate yet perfectly foundational rhythm section, including Fender electric bass, Roland synthesizer bass, Gibson SG electric guitar rhythm, Godin electric guitar slide background, trumpet background, horn section, including alto, tenor, and baritone saxophones, Hohner Blues Bender harmonica solo, Gibson 335 electric guitar background rhythm, a full set drum kit, percussion, cowbell, and tambourine. As mentioned in the previous sentence, he also plays the amazing harp solo after the second verse. All of Frans's music is a dazzling display of solo work on top of a dense, rock solid rhythm section. So, in that spirit, this song is a display of all of us taking 12 bars to show what we can do.
  Tez was first to add his expert blues guitar in the section right after the opening vocals. Josh took the next slot, with the notey second guitar solo on the first chorus section. Stephen added his fiery guitar next, in the last slot, after Frans's harp solo. JJ was next in line, though, bringing his piano and organ to the mix, both in a support role throughout, and in the piano solo between Josh's solo and the second verse. Ken, then came up with some lyrics and sung the whole thing for us, very ably and in the propper spirit of the song (which was named randomly by Frans). 
  Of course, every great song needs a great producer, and we tapped Stephen to do the honors here, as he's our resident expert producer. 
  We are all honored and very grateful to Frans, whom we all respect and admire to a very high degree, for sharing this with us. On the off chance you aren't familiar with him, do yourself a favor and check out his page. He's as talented a multi-instrumentalist as you'll ever come across, with hours of astounding music on his page.
  We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we all enjoyed creating it.
Original Lyrics by K2 and the Three:
I got a bull legged woman,
You know that’s where it’s at
Gotta bull legged woman 
You know that’s where it’s at
The devil may care, 
but he don’t know thin from fat
Well!!

I got a bull legged woman 
You know that’s what I got
I got a bull legged woman
You know that’s what I got
A dope ass Betty
5’ 4”, and she’s smoking hot
 
Hey fellas, can I get a witness?

I got a bull legged woman 
you know that’s what I have
Gotta bull legged woman 
You know that’s what I have
She’s all stacked up, she’s mine
And she’s got the Jaz

 Cgmaness – @user-419254289-15129531 – Chris – bass, guitar, synth, main drums, percussion, composition, production and mix

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–  electric sitar

Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – electric guitar

J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- organ and electric piano

K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken– percussion, additional drums 

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 – traditional gourd form body sitar and lap steel


 This is a song that Chris wrote on the drums, bass, and guitar and shared with the collective. We all love working on Chris's songs, and got to work on it even more enthusiastically than usual. Josh was up first with his lap steel, which he weaves throughout. He also added the sitar at the beginning and the acoustic sitar at the end. Stephen stepped in and added the gnarly electric sitar at the end. JJ also made his presence heard by adding the thrilling organ and electric piano throughout. Ken then augmented Chris's original drums with his own in expert fashion. Last, but not least, Tez added his electric guitat magic to the stew, as well. 

  Since Chris brought this song to the group, and is a fine producer, he did the honors of the mix and production. 

  This is our latest with Chris, whose music we all adore. If you dig this, you should go check out his page, as it contains lots of wonders to hear. We all hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.

New Strings Theory (Eclectic Collective)

Cast of Characters:
 
Cgmaness – @user-419254289-15129531 – Chris – foundational acoustic guitar and seed idea
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- organ, electric piano, lyrics, and vocals
Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – electric guitar
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
The Eclectic Collective — composition and mix

  This is the second song in a row that The Eclectic Collective is releasing in as many weeks that was written by Chris. We love working on his songs, and all jumped at the chance to play with this one, as well. He wrote it on an acoustic guitar, onto which he also put some heavy reverb, giving it an ethereal, chordal sound. To that bare bones, Josh fist added his four-string fretless bass to a click track, of all things. Luckily, Ken swooped in soon after and gave it a proper beat with his lively percussion performance. 
  Once the rhythm section was complete, Tez added his melodic, golden-tone guiar in there. Then, it was JJ's turn. He added not only the piano and synth, but wrote the lyrics and sang it, as well. 
  This song was actually mixed by the group, as we all added our parts, although Ken did some final adjustments, too.
  JJ's lyrics tell the story of the first people to reach Easter Island, millenia ago. The wonder of the journey and the discovery of a new home, while using the materials available to survive. Here are his original lyrics.

Original Lyrics by J.J. Terrell:
 
Through the eyes of the gentle rain
Monuments raised where the Lapwings stay
All the sand, the hourglass of man sifts here
A traveling band of gypsies in this land appear
Crowd the fire as the night sets in
Listen for tales of enlightenment
Until dawn
The flowered down of a bird so true
Pure as heaven, the chosen few
It's all waiting for the night

Cosmic Daydream

■概要(Overview)
雲の上まで続く断崖。
そこに設置されたエレベーター。
「最上階」には素晴らしい世界が広がっているらしい。
しかし、そこに行って帰ってきた人は誰もいないという。
「お客様、ようこそいらっしゃいました。(ウィィィィン・・　※妙な機械音)」
・・・・・・
そんな感じの曲です。

A cliff that extends above the clouds. An elevator installed there. 
They say a wonderful world unfolds on the "top floor." 
However, no one has ever returned from there.

"Welcome, dear guests. (Wiiiin... strange mechanical sound)" ...... 
That's the kind of song it is.

■Lyrics (Translated)
"Elevator"

Welcome, dear guests You have arrived At a rare attraction
Speeding up the cliffs at incredible speed Battering against the rock face, 
heading to the top Crying or screaming, they keep rolling

Elevator in nature Elevator, the cliffside attraction

Rainbow lights and luxurious interiors 
From the outside world To the "top floor"
Excess weight is thrown off, 
in order Dancing crazily along the rock face, 
aiming for paradise Crying or screaming, they are just drowned out

Elevator in nature Elevator, the wild attraction


The top floor is a flower field as far as the eye can see 
All suffering disappears In the heavenly paradise

Speeding up the cliffs at incredible speed Battering against the rock face, 
heading to the top Crying or screaming, 
they keep rolling Once they start rolling, 
they keep rolling All the way to paradise

Elevator in nature Elevator, the cliffside attraction

feral hogs
_______________


what goes outside
what comes through the night
I was human once
now I’m a feral hog

I quit my day job
I quit the human shit
I’ve had enough hustle life
I snort my way through it

what tramples the night
oinking outside
hear the hooves in the street
is there bacon at their feet?

frozen outside
into a deadly fright
seeing their tusks long
dripping blood and skin

stand there glistening
looking for a fight

hey all you wild hogs!
I GOT MY SHOTGUN!!!

you piggies! I got my shotgun!

you come into my town
you hump on my flowers!?
you hunt my women down?!

now you’re all gonna learn
inside a pigs sty
you’re still not like me
no you’re not like me

It’s evident that when such talented artists, who also happen to be my friends, join forces for a collaboration, the result is bound to be as extraordinary as their imagination.

It took me a moment to connect with this song, but the energy is infectious bounding between the bass and sitar and Rekha's vocals. Superb production work in what looked to be a complex process.

Mac: music, lyrics, vocals

Scotty: lyrics, vocals, noodling

I've been listening lately 
To the shite that they play on the radio daily
Nothing quite can excite, too frothy to sway me 
It’s all far too light more like coffee than gravy 

Where’s all the rock stars gone 
The ones who leave it all in their songs
The ones who grab you by the balls and make you sing along
And I’m not joking, these kids today
Not even smoking all far too gay 
And I mean that in the very best way
That you're supposed to use it nowadays 

Ladies and gents I don’t know the answer
We need 4 ill raised scally’s 
Not sixteen shit dancers 

It's so hard for real folks to make love with
all of the noise from this radio rubbish. 

Tell me, folks, what's your recipe? (grilled cheese)
First, dump creativity. (Yes please)
Make it bland for all the sheep
who walk blind through life, superficially. (Not deep)
Take their voice, give 'em words to speak  (thought free)
nor a choice but to hit repeat. ( bought three)
Prey on them 'cause their minds are weak, 
and likely to fork out about a g per seat, (fuck me)
buy your merch, wear it in the street. (ok)
Advertise your shit for free. (No way)
To feel a sense of community
though nothing you say, play or do is unique.  (Per say) 

It's so hard for real folks to make love with
all of the noise from this radio rubbish. 

Over saturation splitting at the seams
Radio rubbish just don’t appeal to me
Shiny shit, opium for the masses
Not about tunes 
Just folks shaking asses
It’s gone too far to save
Sgt pepper and the walrus turning in their graves 

It's so hard for real folks to make love with
all of the noise from this radio rubbish.

scallies (with Isaac and the Apple)

Please enjoy my latest offering to you all. It is another seagoing inspired track. Over the years I have seen many deep ocean whales in their natural setting but only once have I seen a pod and it was awesome. There must of been at least twenty of them spread across the bow at distance. I immediately reported my sightings to the captain who immediately stopped engines.  He went on to explain that in this situation you have two choices you can go hard to starboard or port depending on our postion relative to the whales course or simply stop the engines and take in the view explaining the chances of seeing another pod this large is very remote. this all happened long before smartphones came along so we had no way of recording the event. This took place when I was nineteen and I am now 71 and it is a memory that has stayed with me all these years. So I say to all our fantastic young people .... You are at the stage in your life were you are creating your memories .... .don't waste a minute. Thank you all for the great support you give me.... love and peace..

Lyrik: (The English translation is below the German lyrics)
In der Tiefe meiner Seele
Liegt ein Traum aus alter Zeit
(liegt ein Traum aus alter Zeit)
Durch die Schatten, durch die Fehler
Führt ein Weg zur Helligkeit

Jeder Schritt bringt neue Fragen
(neue Fragen)
Doch mein Herz, es führt mich weit
(führt mich weit)

Denn das Licht in meinem Herzen
Brennt durch jede Dunkelheit
(brennt so hell durch Dunkelheit)
Was zerbrochen war wird heilen
In der Kraft der neuen Zeit
(in der neuen Zeit)

Manche Türen bleiben zu noch
Andre öffnen sich von selbst
(öffnen sich, ganz von selbst)
In dem Tanz von Licht und Schatten
Find ich was mich wirklich hält

Durch die Prüfungen des Lebens
(durch die Prüfungen)
Wächst die Weisheit Tag für Tag
(Tag für Tag)
Was ich gestern noch beweinte
Macht mich stärker als ich war
(stärker als zuvor)

Und das Licht in meinem Herzen
Strahlt nun heller als je zuvor
Was ich suchte liegt im Innern
Öffnet mir ein neues Tor
(ein neues Tor)

In der Stille find ich Klarheit
(finde Klarheit)
In der Liebe find ich Ruh
(finde endlich Ruh)

English translation:
In the depths of my soul
Lies a dream from ancient times
(lies a dream from ancient times)
Through the shadows, through the mistakes
There is a path to brightness

Every step brings new questions
(new questions)
But my heart leads me far
(leads me far)

Because the light in my heart
Burns through every darkness
(burns so brightly through darkness)
What was broken will heal
In the power of the new time
(in the new time)

Some doors remain closed
Others open by themselves
(open by themselves)
In the dance of light and shadow
I find what really holds me

Through the trials of life
(through the trials)
Wisdom grows day by day
(day by day)
What I wept yesterday
Makes me stronger than I was
(stronger than before)

And the light in my heart
Shines brighter than ever
What I was looking for lies within
Opens a new door for me
(a new door)

In the silence I find clarity
(find clarity)
In love I find peace
(finally find peace)

Having grown up with the songs of Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye and other soul greats, and more recently been impressed by the songwriting of artists like Tom Misch and Mac Ayers, I’ve wanted for a while to add an R&B feel to a some of my tracks. 
I’ve tried a few times over the years, and found that blending a strong groove with my usual acoustic, singer-songwriter type stuff didn’t really work. 
I still wanted the songs to sound like my songs :)
This is the first time I’ve finished a track, in that style, that I’m confident enough to put out there. 
Hope you like it :)

Lyrics:
Needed time to think it over
Get my head straight
Diving overboard           
Maybe Its too late                                                
Make same mistakes 
Its time to move on
But something else is pulling me 
To this old town
 
Its You
I’ve got a feeling that’s its 
You
You’ve got me, I’ve got you 
Its True
End of the journey found us
Somewhere out there
In this underworld 
of two

Someone told me once
To love is to feel free 
Coming home is back to reality
You said it all
The first time
Catching up on feelings 
Harder to define

Its You
I’ve got a feeling that’s its 
You
You’ve got me, I’ve got you 
Its True
End of the journey found us
Somewhere out there
In this underworld 
of two
  
So many years
I tried for it to make sense
Saw our love 
But only in the past tense
Years are slipping
Losing all our nine lives 
Only one thing to decide
  
Its You
I’ve got a feeling that’s its 
You
You’ve got me, I’ve got you 
Its True
End of the journey found us
Somewhere out there
In this old underworld 
of two

Its You
I’ve got a feeling that’s its 
You
You’ve got me, I’ve got you 
Its True
End of the story found us
Right here, right now
In this underworld 
of two

Cast of characters:

Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark – backup organs (Wurlitzer and B3), VST steel drums, vocals, lyrics, composition, production, mix     
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- Yamaha Genos 2 electric piano voice and lead organ
Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – Epiphone Les Paul electric guitar
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– Fender Custom Shop Telecaster electric guitar and mastering
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums and percussion
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Fender Precision four string bass

This song began with Mark, who fleshed out the entire thing, from the rhythm section, to the organ that you hear in there, to the lyrics and vocals, before he laid it on the rest of us. We all got a chuckle from the tongue in cheek humor of the lyrics, and were excited to work on a song about an anachronistic adventure of a soulful caveman. 
  Ken was first up with his version of the the beat, finding the soul in the rhythm. Josh was next up, of course, using his "normie" bass for the his version of the line. Once the rhythm section was in place, it was JJ's turn to shine, adding his slick, soulful e. piano to the mix. 
  Now that they had a solid foundation on which to play, Stephen and Tez added their guitar magic to the mix. Stephen with the rhythm and the fills, and Tez with the ripping solo at the end. Mark also added the festive VST steel drums that you hear throughout at this point, too. Now that the music was laid down, he perfected his awesome vocals to complete it.
  It was in the can at that point, and just needed Mark to throw a pro sounding mix on it. Then, Stephen mastered it in his always expert way to finish it off.
  Mark wanted to record an old skool classic Soul song (a la Al Green), which he did, all on his own. But then, once he unleashed it onto the EC gang for their interpretation, they ran with it in a whole new, almost tropical direction, and it was decided to release 2 versions of the song, both of which you can find on Mark's page. Stephen does double duty on guitar for both versions. 
  This was a real team effort, even though it's really Mark's baby. The Eclectic Collective has many different methods of creating music. This one was a great exercise in trying to bring about Mark's vision. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it.
Original lyrics by mistermark:

Walking through this concrete jungle
I’m just trying to stay out of the way 
just me and ol’ Rex, my furry companion 
we been fielding funky looks all day
then somebody saw me kicking rocks with my bare toes
he said buddy have you lost your way?
then I sat right down and I started to cry
and this is what I had to say…

I’m a caveman, I can’t catch a break
everybody says I’m so passé 
I’m a caveman, it’s too much to take
I’m ancient history or so they say 

Sittin’ in my man cave watching the clock crawl
there's nothing good on my tv 
my big grubby hands can’t flip thru the channels
i cant even hold a cup of tea
I was chatting on the phone making plans with a lady
a little bit of company
but my date split QUICK when I opened the door
man I wonder what’s wrong with me

I’m a caveman, I can’t catch a break now
the ladies say I’m so passé 
I’m a caveman, it’s too much to take
I’m ancient history or so they say

The big city’s fine but something’s on my mind
I feel a little incomplete
I miss my old club, for rustling up some grub
and the touch of grass below my feet
I’ve been around longer than all your creation, 
like the rocks and trees and streams
I wanna get back home, where forever I’ll roam
even if it’s only in my dreams

I’m a caveman
I can’t catch a break 
everybody says I’m so passé 
I’m a caveman, it’s too much to take
I’m ancient history or so they say

I’m a caveman, 
must be come kinda mistake
everybody says I’m so passé 
well I’m a - a caveman
It’s too much to take
but I’m gunna get back some day

Caveman - The Eclectic Collective

Hey… Hope all is well wherever you are. Happy Winter Solstice, Holidays, or whatever you may be up to. Thanks to all those who listened to the song I briefly posted then deleted yesterday. It had to go.  So I did this jam for my friend Joe, who died 8 years ago. Never got to say goodbye. He was always down on his luck, but somehow found something to laugh about. He knew I was a musician, so he'd leave phone messages with him banging on a chair like it was a drum as he laughed his ass off. He called me Wild Man. I basically just played some loud distorted slide on this, doing my own thing… with a ton of feedback. My music often gets loud and angsty when I am working through tough stuff in my life. So this is mostly cathartic noise. I really didn’t want to sing anything as I was pretty grumpy at the time. Feel like I should redo this with more lyrics and less distortion, when I am in a better mood. Thanks for dropping by, Mark

Joe.......

with grateful for this year, and towards the new year

Cast of characters:
Tea R. Sea @tea_are_sea -- Terry – Synthesizers, beats, composition
Llanpsych–@llanpsych –Tez– Fender Stratocaster electric guitar, mix, and production
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– Tom Anderson Top T Classic
 electric wah guitar
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- Yamaha Genos 2 electric piano, tambourine, and triangle
K2 and the Three [and the Four] -- @k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1– Custom five-string fretless bass

This song started as a basic, yet melodically very strong composition by Terry involving him playing a synthesizer over a beat he created. He first shared it with Stephen, as they are regular collaborators in their project, Texas Tea, which are worth checking out on both of their pages, as well. Stephen then turned it over the the Eclectic Collective to work our magic on it.
  I was first up to the plate with this one, adding my deep, five string fretless bass to Terry's rudimentary beat. Ken was next up, however, adding the driving drum beat you hear, for which he used Terry's beat as a template and augmented a full kit sound to it. Stephen followed Ken, adding his striking wah guitar part to the whole thing. Tez was up soon after with his searing guitar soloing towards the end. Last, but certainly not least, JJ added the soulful electric piano you hear giving it a funk throughout, as well as the tambourine and the cool triangle dings. 
  Now that it was in the bag, we decided to ask Stephen to produce and mix it for us, which he did in his typical expert fashion, as well as the doing the mastering, too. However, Tez also did a production and mix that some of us are choosing to use instead, as a matter of taste, not quality. That is the one you'll find on my page.
  This is our holiday offering to all our fans, friends, colleagues, and peers. While it's not particularly a holiday song, it's a good display of where we are musically, and shows some of the flavor we want to add in the new year. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it. Happy holidays to you, and many happy returns!

From Your Eyes feat. Frank Zozky & Paploviante

Somewhere and Anywhere (revisited and remixed)

Nocturnal

Live Reflexion #025

The piece, born from the collaboration between Vicenzo, who uses his new alias Piano For Your Soul, and Francesco Adornetto, invites the listener to immerse themselves in an inner journey filled with emotional nuances. The vibrant and suspended melodies reflect a balance between fragility and resilience, symbolising tears that are not only a sign of sorrow but also of transformation and hope.

This composition unfolds as a story without words, a dialogue between two artistic souls exploring the infinite with keys that sing and sighs that dance between the lines. Visual and musical art intertwine in a work that celebrates the hidden beauty of the deepest emotions.

This artwork, titled Tears of Eternity, embodies the delicacy of a piano piece that evokes profound melancholy and intimate beauty. Creating a dialogue between ethereal flowers, faded sheet music, and a stylized piano, the image reflects the emotional flow and the passage of time.

Tears Of Eternity -Mauricio de los Santos & Francesco Adornetto

The Hunchback of Notre Dame - The Gypsy Dance

Hard time problems and an invisible bottle of spirits

It's been a while

"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.
