I like your comments on your songs very much

A bit of fun resulting from SCIENCE! 
The ant recordings were provided by Prof. Jonatan Klaminder at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences. The synth is the small but mighty Modal SKULPT synth SE. The little bit of orchestral fear is made with Spitfire's BBC Symphony Orchestra plug-in. A couple of 'vocal' samples to round it off.

I was honored to be asked to join in this tribute to the late Phil Lesh, legendary bassist of the Grateful Dead, who recently left us. Credits: Fabian B. (bass), Ross M. (guitar, mandolin), Craig C. (drums). I'm on vocs/piano/mix.

This song began its life as a skeleton of beats and synth created by Terry, who also added some crunchy electric guitar hits to it, too. Terry is a very skilled electronic music producer, and frequent collaborator with Stephen for a project they call Texas Tea. It's worth going to check out their other collabs, as well as Terry's solo projects on his and Stephen's page. 

  Even though Terry and Stephen work together frequently, Terry approached Josh with a couple of ideas, and Josh picked this one, so Terry started the project and invited the rest of the band to join in.

 Stephen was the lead off hitter for this one, though, adding his magical and heavily processed acoustic guitar to the bridge in the middle, as well as textural guitar in the entire first half. He also added a couple of cool lines with his e-bow, which he used on his guitar. Ken was next up to bat, adding his always thrilling drums to compliment Terry's beats. Josh went to work next, now that he had a solid beat to work with, added his low-frequency five string fretless bass to it. Tez batted clean up, adding his thrillling Gilmore-esque guitar solo to the end of it. 

  Then, once the music was all finished, we turned it over to Chris so he could add his amazing, psychedelic vocals delivering his original lyrics throughout.
  Once we had everything recorded, we turned it over to Terry to mix, as it was his song 

to begin with. Terry is an excellent producer with a great ear. Stephen, who is our trained mixer gave him some key advice along the way, too, though.

  This is Eclectic Collective's third song with Terry, and we're always thrilled when he has something to offer us. He's a wonderful collaborator with tons of great songs on his page, that are all worth checking out. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

  Oh, and it's worth mentioning that three of us on this have birthdays this week, too. Chris' was first, on Wednesday, Terry's was Thursday, and Josh's is Friday (today). So, this is an extra special celebratory song for all three of us. We're all so very grateful for our SoundCloud community, friends, and musical family. We appreciate all of you!


Original lyrics by Cgmaness:

Lost in inner space,
questions interlace,
often they're erased.
amnesia's saving grace.
...
Many rising up,
What do you think it means?
Anything at all?
Anything?
....................
Wonder if you feel,
any of this truth?
Root systems occur,
we are one from birth.
we are one.
....
Slow to realize,
something is in the skies.
I cannot be wise.
We are lied to.
Realize, it's all a ruse.
but, we ripple on.
we ripple on.
we are one.
...
And that's when we fell back into,
a very familiar feel.
but I know.
Just pinholes,
just pinholes. 
....
Many rising up,
what do you think it means?
....
Sometimes we have to let go!

I originally composed Strange Metronome while following a metronome — and it felt strange… Later, I discovered that my recording software (Logic Pro) could detect the tempo of my playing without a metronome. What a liberation! But I kept the original title… 
J’ai d’abord composé Strange Metronome en suivant un métronome, avec un résultat étrange… Puis j’ai découvert que mon appli d’enregistrement (Logic Pro) pouvait détecter le tempo de mon jeu de piano sans métronome. Enfin libre ! Mais j’ai gardé le titre d’origine…

Lost Composer

Kraftkabel is the artist name of Philip I. Buckland. I am a musical scientist in a parallel universe living in a studio flat orbiting Jupiter. My keyboards are suspended in gravity nets, and my mixer is controlled by the power of the mind. My cosmic sequencing software masters through the power of emotion, and my keyboards are simultaneously both retro and new.
My music originates from the point of divergence of these universes - the mid-late 1980's, but is spliced by genre splicing interludes. I use a time machine and dimensional portal to get to work.
For the other nerds out there:
Hardware synths: 
Moog Subsequent 37; Roland Jupiter X, JD-Xi, VR-09, S-1; Korg Prologue, NTS-1, Monotron Duo; Sequential Take5; Yamaha DX7; Akai PRO MiniAK; Novation Mininova; Arturia MicroFreak; Modal SkulptsynthSE; Teenage Engineering PO-20.
Main software: Ableton, Arturia Analog Pro, InSidious, random free stuff from the interweb and Dexed to program the DX7. Audacity. All played through Arturia Keylab and Keystep (which has a better arpreggiator).
Plus some guitars that I can't really play very well. And an mbira, tin whistle and an alien head-shaped ukulele.
