Great song Kurt. I like the chord progression.

What a top tune. Very catchy and very good.

very smooth easy to listen to melody..like the vocal "repeating" and tone...fits the sad lyric/sentiment

this is a beauty Kurt,  goes down well with a few brews👍

The Way Of Dreams

Jupiter Rising

Colla with my demonic friend, Lorzha La Succube, for a shamanic, mystical dark music on poetry.
Lyrics:
Je viendrai en ton jardin merveilleux, Ô ma Déesse.
Vénérer ta beauté éternelle et ton antique sagesse.
Toi qui m’appris pour chasser à bander mon arc d’if,
Et pour séduire à onduler mon corps souple et lascif.

Sensuelle déesse, idole vénérée, guerrière et sorcière.
Je m’offre à ta force et ta sagesse, nue et entière.
Devant toi, je suis pétale lourd de rosée et de désir.
Je m’offre et m’ouvre, esclave de tes envies et de mon plaisir.

Ta poitrine ronde et ferme me nourrit du lait des rêves.
Ta pluie qui arrose mes désirs me bénit et m’élève.
Je danse à tes pieds divins, nue et sans entraves,
Entraînée par le chant mordoré des oiseaux et des gaves

Tes cuisses autour de mes reins, tu fouilles mon cœur.
Tu fécondes mon âme de ta déchirante douceur.
Sous l'arbre ancien, où les rires aux chants s’enlacent,
Je boirai la sève de tes ramilles, pour vivre en ta grâce.

Et je goûterai le venin des songes, puissant et  doux,
Et des visions d’amour s’enrouleront à mes désirs fous.
Je sentirai ton souffle de mousse et d’eau sur ma peau frémissante,
Je me perdrai en toi, dans ta splendeur douce et troublante.

Ton sexe indigo fleurit des ronces parfumées et ardentes.
Je m’y baigne heureuse dans tes ardeurs triomphantes.
Tu malaxe ma chair de pulpe de tes lèvres avides.
Ton regard lubrique et sage me tire dans le vide.

Ma déesse sauvage, dans tes désirs de nuit je suis prise,
Je me fond dans ton souffle, comme le parfum dans la brise.
Je me dissous dans la vapeur du matin primordial
Et ma prière se fond dans notre aube dorée et nuptiale.

Orchestral Moves (2025) Remastered

I get the point
Experience I’ve found
What goes around comes back around

I understand
I’ve lived a double life
I’ve felt the balance on a knife

CHORUS
Feeding my nausea 
Feeding my shame
I’m self destructing once again
Bleeding self pity
I’ve played this game
I’m self destructing once again 

Playing a part
Feelings are fragile
Succeeding means being agile

It hurts so much
I’m feeling broken
It doesn’t help we’ve not spoken

CHORUS

I pressed the point
I pressed the button
I’m in danger of being forgotten 

CHORUS

Self Destructing

This song began as a looper beat that Josh created in BandLab. He does that often to start an idea. However, this beat sat on the shelf for almost a year, until he shared it with JJ for one of his Saturday night music sessions. JJ put an arrangement on it with his organ and bass. Josh quickly replaced the bass idea with his own version of it, though.
Now it was Ken's turn to replace the dull looper beat with something alive and organic, which he did in the most creative and solid way possible. We had a skeleton now, and it was time to share it with Beck, with whom this is Eclectic Collecitive's first song. She added her magic via the synth you hear sprinkled throughout. Stephen weighed in next with his funky wah guitar.
It was almost done at this point, but of course, we wanted Carl to add his greatness to it, as well, which he did by writing and singing some compelling vocals. He took the working title, which Josh came up with having just read The Odyssey, and wrote a whole song about it!
Once it was all laid down, we asked Tez to do his expert work with the mix and production, which he did perfectly, as always. We're very lucky to have two very talented producers in the group, and grateful to Tez for ironing this one out for us.
This is, as mentioned, the EC's first go round with Beck, and we couldn't be more thrilled to work with her. Not only is she a skilled, creative musician, but she is a delightful ray of sunlight to work with, too. We have another collab with here we plan to release in the coming weeks, as well. There will be more to follow. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.
Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark
Hold on dear crew
Cruel winds fly north
Our tenth foul day
Land found fresh worth
Untameable sea
We survived people
Ashore
Fresh water
Food
Lessen our feeble

Three of company
Greet these inhabitants
Find what land lends their habitance
Trio arrive and find not hurt
Then found local food
Good offering flirty

Three watered mouths by nicest taste
Who needs home
We stay
No haste
Love lotus buds
Don’t mind the captain
Let’s stay and munch this tuck of trapping

Captain bemused All aboard!
No more shall eat this food mind sword
What of home!
What of love!
Weep not dear three
Cold turkey tough

Smite that sea
Hold tight your oars
Now heave to Ithaca
South-westwards
Bye Lotus eaters
Trip like land
Love lesson lives

Isle of the Lotus Eaters (Eclectic Collective featuring SunnyBeck!)

This is something I've had in mind for a while, and was planning to put it out for Halloween, but I'm really slow.  It's a macabre spoken word thing about a travelling circus that's a little 'off' in dark and unsettling ways that you can't quite put your finger on. Originally I thought it would sound good as an old timey Delta Blues with acoustic guitar accompaniment. But since I can't play, I enlisted the help of a fellow Soundcloud artist whose music I admire, Remnant60 (@remnant60). It just so happened Bill had previously posted a guitar track that he left open for collaboration. I downloaded his track, but it was left on the shelf for a while, until this came along, and I thought it was a perfect fit. 
It kind of borders on the edge of creepy cool and just hokey. But it's a fun bit of storytelling, and I'm grateful to Remnant60 for letting me tinker with his wicked slide guitar track. 
I strongly recommend listening to this with headphones for the full effect. 
Hope you dig it!

ARTISTS

LYRICS
A travelling circus creaked into our little town
They set up in Duggart’s field by the old burying ground
A ramshackle lot ‘neath the moonlight’s glare
With their trinkets and their theatre, put on an evening affair

Chorus
From village to village and from town to town
When the circus came they put their stakes deep in the ground
They promised spectacle, laughter and mirth
The travelling circus, the greatest show on Earth

Inside the big top it was crowded and hot
Everyone was kept waiting whether they wanted or not
Something in the tent corner was circled by flies
And I noticed a bruise under the flower girl’s eye

(Chorus)

The horses were skittish when they caught sight of a whip
And a big toothy grin was painted over the clown’s lips
The ringmaster never looks you quite straight in the eye
From the moment you enter he starts waving goodbye

(Chorus)

Travelling Circus (collab with Remnant60)

'The Minstrel and the Jester' Just a title that popped into my head. This is where it went.

My Drouthy Cronie

The Minstrel and the Jester

Kurt's been playing around the Melbourne music scene since the 90s, only recently has he started writing his own material.
Kurt also performs with Crumbe and Fawkner Walking Society, and has performed with 2 Inch Tape, Cate Taylor and Tim Woodz and the Dirty Shoes.
All of these demos have been recorded on the Boss BR-80.

Have just updated my recording gear so if anyone wants to collaborate I'm able to now.

Welcome to the load-bearing wall of sound.

Music: No boundaries / Knows no boundaries. I don’t look anything like my profile photograph; I'm actually slightly shorter and a figment of my own delusions.

I’m also known as the wild man of transcendental meditation.
