This song began with David, who wrote it on the guitar, synth, and bass over a programmed beat he created. He and Josh met more than two months ago and decided to do a collaboration, based on mutual enjoyment of and respect for each other's music. Dave had this song pretty much fleshed out, although it was still a skeleton when he offered it to Josh, who, of course, got the rest of the Eclectic Collective involved. 

Dave asked us all to compose our own parts for the song, so we all got to work right away doing that. We all realized that the first order of business would be to get a real beat on this, so Ken accomplished that task with some dynamic, Eastern inspired drums and percussion, which he plays throughout the song. JJ then stepped in and added his best eastern flute magic. Stephen was next with the perfect-vibe sitar you hear in the first two sections. 

Josh came next to add his five-string fretless bass to the mix, augmenting David's high, staccato bass with his deep, low tone bass. Then, for the third section, where David's Gilmore-esque guitar solo resides, Josh drops out, allowing for Dave's awesome bass playing in that section. However, Josh does come in again towards the end, in the final section, too. Also, in that section, Tez dropped an augmented, harmonic, electric fire, complementary guitar part. Then, David's frequent collaborator and friend Ron added some well blended, ethereal synth to the first section, too.

Once we had the instrumental parts pretty much laid down, we began to discuss getting a woman to sing on this, as David was inspired by The Great Gig in the Sky, by Pink Floyd, and we all agreed. Who we found to do it actually blew all of our minds. JJ, being familiar with her music, contacted Elpi first, and we were all lucky enough that she agreed to do it. Having heard Mediterranean music all her life in Greece, she tapped into what her husband said were her "ancient Greek roots" for her spectacular vocal performance. She finds all the modal notes and places them perfectly throughout her sections. 

But before we were done, Mark came through with some really striking talking drum parts in the first two sections, too. Once we had everything in the can, David took over, both with some masterful editing and production, and with the balanced, dynamic mix. The mix was a formidable task, but he did it with considerable skill, also taking everyone's opinions into account, which is a talent in and of itself. When he was done with the mix, he turned it over to Stephen for the mastering, which the latter did to everyone's satisfaction, as always.

This is the first song the Eclectic Collective has done with David, Elpi, and Ron, and we all hope it's the first of many, as we welcome them into the EC family. They all have some wonderful music on their pages, too, so do yourself a favor and check out all of them, as well. We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed creating it.

The Siege

The Siege : by David Marconi featuring Elpiverse, Ron Lewis & The Eclectic Collective

--English translation after the French text--
Écoute le vent qui emporte le bruit du port et des bateaux
Il murmure des secrets des histoires et des mots nouveaux
Ombres du passé, un  rêve d’avenir, le cœur qui balance peur (et) désir  
La mer agitée, l’écume grise, comme  destin à saisir
 
Les vagues  emporteront  les larmes, les larmes passées
Restent à quai  toutes celles qu’on n’ a pas encore versées
Écoute le vent qui rapporte au loin le cri des cormorans
Plainte stridente dans le silence  des flots mourants de l'océan 

Marins éternels, maudits par la vie, nous traînons nos  chaînes, asservis
Prisonniers d'un cycle sans fin, âmes errantes cherchent sa vie  
Écoute le vent il nous dit qu’il faudra partir	 
Que not’ temps est compté, naufragés  de nos désirs	 

Machine translation:
Listen to the wind that carries the noise of the port and the boats
It whispers secrets, stories and new words
Shadows of the past, a dream of the future, the heart that swings fear (and) desire
The rough sea, the gray foam, like a destiny to seize

The waves will carry away the tears, the past tears
All those that have not yet been shed remain at the quay
Listen to the wind that brings back the cry of the cormorants from afar
Shrill complaint in the silence of the dying waves of the ocean

Eternal sailors, cursed by life, we drag our chains, enslaved
Prisoners of an endless cycle, wandering souls seek their life
Listen to the wind it tells us that we will have to leave
That our time is numbered, shipwrecked of our desires






   



 





Ecoute le vent

jazzXpérience

Let's take a look in here, inside my head
Spider webs and dust blowing everywhere
Oh, wait! Something there moved, an original thought?
Or rats scrounging for a crumb of food

Jets passing overhead, cut across the blue sky
Then scream away

Poets dream of being read to sounds of music
Clowns dance alone in the privacy of home
Yellow tape cut down, some people gather around
Webs and dust blow on their bones

And then, what do you know, I remembered something important
Then it slipped away

Cut The Blue Sky

Surfers like Us ….. composition and all guitar parts 

Hi Everyone!
This is a new (slightly longer) version of my older song in classic guitar style! 😎🎸
Hope you enjoy the vibe! 🍀
Thanks for listening and any support.

For this nice optimistic track I used, as usual, LogicPro as the main DAW and Arturia's Analog Lab Pro. I hope you will enjoy the up-lifting ambiental dance vibe of this track.
Thanks for listening and support.

All Night Long

80_Im Kölner Dom (Grandbrothers Tribute) - released on 15 May 2025 (only on Soundcloud)

TV channel ARTE animated the "Grandbrothers" for a special concert on 26 August 2022 on the occasion of the 700th anniversary of the consecration of the Cologne Cathedral choir. Discovered in the media library, I was fascinated & inspired to dedicate a track to them! #ambient #modernclassic #trance #onlymelodies #nobeats #liverecording

(produced with BlocsWave & LaunchPad)

Im Kölner Dom (Grandbrothers Tribute)

The train to nowhere has no end
As far as you can see around the bend
There always is another curve
Another chapter to the story
So we can continue to pretend
Not to see how our story ends

We try so hard to never see
The end of tracks go on endlessly
We hear them rumble beneath our feet
We feel the sway in perfect time
An effect for every cause we find
Creates our end in harmony

A life of storms with wind and rain
Teaches us to weather pain
There is no sense to lie and blame
Hardships on bad timing
The train that I am riding
Is my story just the same

The Train To Nowhere

The Living Death of Me

Slick Ride

lyrics

Don't think I like it
But I breathe it
Don't think I like it
But I have to be it

I retreat, I retreat
I retreat, I retreat

But I breathe it
I have to be it
I retreat, I retreat

Sometimes I feel ok
But not today
Sometimes I feel ok
But I'm made of clay

I retreat, I retreat
I retreat, I retreat
I retreat, I retreat
I retreat, I retreat
I retreat, I retreat

no more
