This is really a cool track with so many style fitting perfectly together.  A great collab!

Ken man, I have to say I'm super impressed with the drumming rhythm  you did on this one. I know me some South American rhythm, and that off-beat stuff you do with the snare is a classic South American style that I freaking love hearing in the more upbeat songs like this. Bravo for that alone, but also the little percussion touches. that, along with JJ's trumpet, and Stephen's flamenco style and of course Manuel's booming vocal really give this an authentic vibe. Very impressed indeed!

fantastic percussion throughout.  i probably listened to this one like a half dozen times in a row the other day when i first heard it.  excellent work all around.

Really great track on so many levels (vocal delivery instruments, energy and mix) and fun to listen to.

Man I love this track.  Manuel wrote such a killer tune.  Gotta admit at first I wasn’t sure where you were going with the drums but the more you refined it and the more it started sounding like a Zappa track I was loving it !! Love how it ended up , brilliant drumming brother

Fantastic song Ken! What a fun song with a nice Latin groove! Very cool!👍😎🙏

Excellent super song by Manuel , the atmosphere is successful . And as usual, you all know how to leave room for each other while adding your personal touch without distorting the song.

@pete-pogra wonderful stereo production 🎧 great vocals!🙏

Version 2: 🗡️And this Sword could Also be a Gun...but Only a very Futuristic one that you cannot buy!! A Golden Gun (Without 007...😊)

And So Alchemical Woman is Now much more Mature following her travels within Darkness and Light. She has reached a Point of no Return to those times within Persecution of Terrah. Had to Slay a few Foes along the way...Metaphorically though, looking from my Personal experiences. The two Swords became One!

The Root of Alchemy is Transformation of the Self...and she Forgave her Enemies, yet did not Forget. The Darkness to her is the full Sun of the other Side, not Total Eclipse of any kind, because she discovered the Moon was an illusion. To send people into Hypnosis  (Technosis), and in a way Blinded by the Night! For if we Dream, we are not Awake to see Life's Warnings and Dangers. 

Echo is prevalent here in Version Two because she wants her voice Resounding to be Heard, something she couldn't do whilst Captivated by the Predators!

Enjoy the Subtle Changes and adjustments. And She will Return to show that she Still knows how to Guard herself and make her way through any Threats to her Life and Loved ones.

I wish for All within Similar situations to find their Own strength of Balance in both Light and Dark, to Balance into their full development in Alchemy. 

The Fight continues, but with Higher Force of Meaning.
Enjoy,
SolarRae✨🙏

Thanks again to Dave Bayes- SoundCloud and his Brilliant Guitar work🎸. He will be Currently working on the Solo Guitar project relating to this.

  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

The Eclectic Collective -- composition

This song began its life when Ken came to with a series of drum skeletons about half a year ago with the intent of starting several McDonald's themed songs that The Mysterious Decibel was writing for the group. Well MD had some life getting in the way and then decided to pursue another project full time, leaving us with four solid songs, but without vocals. Ken ended up supplying the solid lead vocals and harmonies you hear the whole way through, with original lyrics that he also wrote.

  But before any of that happened, we got this song together. Stephen was first up, coming up with the main guitar riffs that carry the whole way through. Josh responded quickly to the his guitar parts with some matching bass to go along with it. 

  About this time, Mark heard the funky break in there, and so installed every part of it all on his own, including the clavinet, organ, bass, and drums. Although, Ken is also still playing in the break, as well. When we had it pretty well set, Tez came along and added some fiery guitar to go along with Stephen's. 

 Once we had it in the can, we turned it over to Mark for his expert mix. Stephen mastered it for us, too, for the final touch.

  This ended up being a satisfying product of The Eclectic Collective's teamwork. We hope you enjoyed listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it.


Original Lyrics by K2 and The Three:

I built my library, by burning it to  the ground
I live my life, through all this singing sound
Can’t remember, what then we should’ve done
It’s up to you, now, you’re the chosen one

Scaling the riverbank
Scaling the riverbank
Scaling the riverbanks
Scaling the riverbanks

Till we reach solid ground
Pit for play dirt(pay dirt)
Muddy water all around
Sift the sandbox
There’s gold in them thar hills
Treasures lying
Skills to pay the bills

Hanging on and on
…. and I, can’t find my way up!

New to you
It’s goo to you
New to you
It’s goo to you
New to you!

Scaling the River Banks
Scale the riverbanks
Scaling the riverbanks till we reach solid ground
Scaling the riverbanks till we reach solid ground

Hanging  on and on
And I can’t find my way up!

Scale the River Banks
Scaling the riverbanks!

Scale the riverbanks!

J.J. Terrell–@j-j-terrell – drums, bass, organ, triangle, and composition

TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– mix, mastering, and production

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1–PRS semi hollow body electric guitar

This song began with JJ on a late Saturday night, coming up with it on the drums, bass, and organ. He even added some real triange, if you listen for it, you'll be delighted. He had a killer jazz groove on his mind when he composed it, and was able to really bring it to life on all levels. He originally wrote it as a solo piece, but asked Josh if he would like to add a guitar part. Josh jumped at the opportunity to play an original jazz song on his guitar, and in a few days, recorded more than 20 takes of it. He finally landed on the one you hear in here now. 

  They asked Stephen to mix, master, and produce it for them, which he did in his typically professional way.

  This was a fun, exciting collaboration, featuring just JJ and Josh, but the rest of the Eclectic Collective will be back with them next time. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.

Losing the  Paparazzi (Eclectic Collective)

Cast of Characters:

Mistermark – @user-432503709 – Mark – drums, VST upright bass, electric vibraphone, horns, high organ in the last section, percussion (shaker, hand claps), production, editing, mix, and composition

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– Fender Custom Shop Tele Thinline electric guitar and mastering

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

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – PRS semi hollow body electric guitar


This song began its life some 20 years ago recorded on Mark's old skool keyboard workstation as a bass line and drum beat, accentuated by a synth melody playing over some electric piano. It sat as that basic version until just recently, when Mark had gotten into horn arrangements, and wanted to try some out, thus creating the impetus for reviving this old tune. Plus, he wanted to get the Eclectic Collective to play the guitar and keys parts on it for a little extra jazzy pizzazz.
  He turned it over to the rest of the EC gang with a pretty clear vision of what he wanted structurally. Stephen was first up, adding his driving guitar to the fist part of every verse. Josh deftly chimed in with the response line in every verse. JJ then came into the mix last and sprinkled his magic electric piano and other keys throughout. After all of our parts were in the can, Mark went to work dutifully editing and mixing what you hear as the final product. Stephen then did his pro mastering work on it to add a little bit more shine.
 This was a lot of fun to put together. It doesn't feature all of the EC, but the other guys will be on many upcoming creations. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

05 Don't Keep Me Waiting

Cast of Characters:
E Ruizzo-- @ruizzoidman21centurions -Manuel-- composition, lyrics, Squier Stratocaster electric guitar, vocals, mix, and production
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- piano, accordion, and horn
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– Jose Ramirez nylon stringed flamenco style guitar, and mastering
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums, percussion
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – four string Fender Precision Bass bass

This song began all the way back when Manuel was 16 and found love that summer with a girl named Carmen. He remembered her, though, and wrote this song about her all these years later. The title of the song means "Your name has the song," and the lyrics spell out the girl's charms using the letters of her name. Check out the lyrics and the translation below. 
  Using that inspiration, Manuel came up with the song structure and the vocal melodies to a rudimentary drum track with his electric guitar. He then asked Josh if the group would be interested in taking it on. Josh, never being one to refuse a challenging piece of music, and always on the lookout for interesting musicians with whom to collaborate, accepted his kind offer and created a project for the rest of the Eclectic Collecitve to join. He started the whole thing off by adding his bass, to which Ken added his innovative drums, to which Josh redid his bass, as is the typical process in the EC.
  Next up was JJ, who you'd think he'd grown up with Spanish music the way he added the horns, accordion, and piano. Then Stephen stepped in and added his psychedelic and intricate acoustic guitar to the stew. 
  It was all done, except for the mix at this point. Manuel did the honors, and did it very expertly. Stephen mastered it to give it more volume and dynamism, too, as he always does. 
  This was the first, but we hope not the last, time the EC has collaborated with Manuel, although we're all fans of the incredible music on his page. He was a true delight to work with, giving honest, encouraging feedback and helping us shape his song to meet his vision. We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Otiginal lyrics by E Ruizzo:

TU NOMBRE TIENE LA CANCIÓN  /  YOUR NAME HAS THE SONG

Qué es una lágrima en el desierto?  /  What is a tear in the desert?
Cae sin ruido, se evapora y se olvida.  /  It falls without noise, evaporates and is forgotten.
No tiene tiempo de brillar, su vida  /  It has no time to shine, its life
es corta y su camino tan incierto…  /  is short and its path so uncertain...

Ce del calor del desierto y su sol,  /  ‘C’ for the heat of the desert and its sun,
a del adiós por el que lloré tanto;  /  ‘a’ for the farewell for which I cried so much;
erre del río que forma mi llanto;  /  ‘r’ for the river formed by my crying;
eme de miedo, de magia y de amor.  /  ‘m’ for fear, for magic and for love.

E de esperanza, de espacio rosado,  /  ‘E’ for hope, for pink space,
de espina clavada, de suelta emoción;  /  for stuck thorn, for loose emotion;
ene de noche de un tiempo pasado.  /  ‘n’ for night of a past time.

Carmen, tu nombre tiene la canción  /  Carmen, your name has the song
de todo aquello que has significado:  /  of all that you have meant:
Carmen de luz, de sonrisa y de adiós.  /  Carmen of light, of smile and of goodbye.

TITLE EVACUATION: RUN FROM CALAMITY
_________________________________________________________________________
LYRICS:

(Verse 1)
Ashes swirl like a ghost in the sky
Smoke kissed my house as I waved it goodbye
The river's a thief and the fire's a beast
Packing up memories like a prayer for peace

(Verse 2)
A suitcase of years on the passenger seat
The highway hums like a heart's broken beat
Maps don’t mean much when you're chasing the wind
Starting again where the world might begin

(Chorus)
Run from the rising tide
Run while the flames collide
Carry your heart in your hands
Don’t fall
The world might crumble but you stand tall

(Verse 3)
Mud in the hallway and fear in the walls 
The waters whispered through the midnight calls
Lightning may strike but the human heart roars
We build and rebuild till we’re stronger than before
(Bridge)
The past burns up like a fading old flame
But each step forward feels less like a game
We learn how to live with the scars on the land
And hold tight the ones who still understand

(Chorus)
Run from the rising tide
Run while the flames collide
Carry your heart in your hands
Don’t fall
The world might crumble but you stand tall

Rising Above Fires & Floods

Evacuation: Run From Calamity

Evacuation_ Run From Calamity

Nathan had a track here: https://soundcloud.com/nathaniel-ehrnman/slipstream
and gave me permission to mess with it.
I did a couple guitar tracks and a couple of synth tracks, and in the process a set of lyrics
jumped into my head...I recorded them in one take...I could do better, the take is very rough,
but there's something organic about that take that makes me want to leave it alone...

Slipstream

Beside the road
an old man cussed
Played his hand
and came out bust
Nothing left for
for him back there
Everythings gone
just to keep him square
And now the road 
is all he has
Yeah Yeah road
is all he has
Slipstream might make 
another way
But for today 
there's only rain
