Surfers like us - Guitar https://soundcloud.com/user-411502040/tracks
Well - synths
This piece is the final result of our latest collaboration. This time we have the pleasure of inviting you to travel through time and space, and perhaps we can cross that boundary together.
   The end of the year is a time to visit each other and travel. So this will be a winter journey, in snow and blizzard. Perhaps during sunset or even at night... Either way, the doors of imagination have been opened!
    We hope to drift together in melancholy reverie towards the new year. Thank you for your time, attention and your ongoing support. Happy New Year!!!

WINTER TRIP - w/Surfers Like Us

I connected with @blackmarketbrains when he responded to my open collab, Social Fabric. I really liked his take on that one so asked if he wanted to do another collaboration. He offered up this open collab he had going as well as a couple other ideas. Working on this one, my remix came together right away. I am digging his post-nuke post-apocalypse aesthetic.

David is responsible for the beat and many of the synth and sound effect elements (we discovered he and I use a lot of the same hardware-- microfreak + volca drum!) ... my additions include the kind of light epiano keys in the background and the main melody ultra filtered sounding lead lines. Thanks for checking this one out!

Captive Of Time (Kontra Sz & Val Akey collab)

This is the fourth song intended for my next album 'What Color Is Your Paradox'. It was originally finished on 11/08/2023. I hope you enjoy. :)

Paradox?

Cautiously He Tends

Cast of characters:
RIch O'Brien-- @rich-obrien -- composition, intro guitar solo
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– third guitar solo  
J.J. Terrell–@j-j-terrell -- Clave and organ
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums, production, and mix
Llanpsych–@llanpsych –Tez–final guitar solo
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1–four-string fretless bass and second guitar solo
This song started as a full composition on all instruments by Rich. He asked Josh if he'd be interested in a collaboration with it. Josh jumped at the chance to share it with the Eclectic Collective. So, he invited the gang to join in, replacing most of the original instrumentation, and adding some new. After Ken had added his driving, foundational drums, Josh added his bass to match. JJ soon after cranked up the funk-o-meter by adding his clave and screaming organ. Then, Josh added a guitar solo, which comes in right after Rich's intro. Stephen was up next with his badass licks in the third solo. Then Tez got a hold of it, and ripped a hole in the ether with his guitar in the last solo.
  Ken was generous enough to produce and mix this for us. And what an outstanding job he did, too. We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed making it.

Bottled Lightning - The Eclectic Collective with Rich O'Brien

Tired of cold short days? Me too. Let's party!!  I haven't posted anything new in a while so here's a 10 year old tune that will be new to some of my peers, and those who've heard it have already gotten over the shock. This is an exercise in licentious sexual innuendo and lewd, funky sounds. It's what happens when an otherwise innocent childhood is spent listening to Jimmy Castor Bunch, New Birth, Slave, James Brown, Funkadelic, etc, and there are some biblical metaphors thrown in for good measure. It can be downloaded in case I decide to run for Governor and need to quickly hide all scandal.

OK where does this nonsense come from? 

"There's a primordial dread and fear of the power of the Feminine expressed in the feckless desire to dominate and control a situation that the poor fool just oughta accept as way beyond his own meager forces."  -- Carl Jung

TASTES LIKE CHICKEN
I went down to the melon patch 
gonna find myself a big 'un
it was Saturday morning and the sun was shining 
and I was ready for diggin'

there she was alone with her hands around a vine
sunlight shining through her summer dress I said my my my

my name is Daisy hope you don't mind
that I'm down here pulling on your vines
now if you please may i keep on pickin?
and one more thing I taste like chicken

she was in my melon patch already picking
and now she tells me she tastes like chicken
this could be the thing that I've been missing
now here's a girl that tastes like chicken

she followed me home with a couple juicy melons
I said baby where you are from but she wasn't telling
now something about her story just wasn't clickin'
I know a lotta girls don't none of them taste like chicken

back in my kitchen I cut the rind
it was pink and juicy on the inside
she said baby just a minute
I need to step outside before we get in it

she went outside behind a big old tree
I was following close behind but I didn't let her see
then I heard something that blew my mind
she was talking alien on a radio line

she came back in through the front door
wearing nothing but a smile
I know she's an alien
but I'll let it go for now

now I'm not sure how it's gonna all work out
I still got my extraterrestrial doubts
but man she looks good standing in my kitchen
and she tastes like chicken

Tastes Like Chicken

I was asked by a music production company to had lyrics and vocal melody to an instrumental track that they sent me. Musically it was a little uninspiring but I enjoyed the challenge. 
So I did my part and spent time perfecting it and it was rejected by them saying they felt their instrumental wasn’t up to scratch and the vocal file was to hissy.
I spoke to Noobly about this and he said sent me the vocal file and I will build an instrument around it. 
He instantly loved the vocal melody and came up with this brilliant piece of work fitting the original vocal into it. 
This is another level of skills to be able to do this and he wasn’t interested in listening to the original version. 
Untold little secret a song about moments of relationships and how movie clips play out in your head. The over hanging tree still remains!


V1
I can still taste the kiss from your 
red cherry lipstick 
Now it just feels like we were actors in own memory clips
(Learning against the wall with the over hanging tree
The last time we kissed was before your said goodbye to me )

Bridge 
Close your eyes close your eyes x3

Chorus 
With one kiss from your dangerous lips
You could sink a thousand battleships 
And with the power you possess in side ya
You’ll Bring down the Great Wall of china 
I’m just your untold little secret 
And yes you are still  my weakness x.2

V2
Heads can turn so easily and your head turned away from me 
So I guess this is the end for you me and our  kissing tree 
(And now when I drive by i always glance across 
It’s just  a memory clip in time i never lost )
(Learning against the wall with the over hanging tree
This the last time we kissed was before your said goodbye to me )

M/8
Memories age 
as the years fly by
but they won’t age a day
Not until we die

Close your eyes

Full Chorus 

I’m just your untold little secret 
And yes you are my weakness x2

Untold little secret ….repeat

Untold Little Secret ~Conscience Of Kings

the captain, mad captain
he told the men his plans
and then they went out stealing things
so they could rule these lands

they stole four antique cannons from the castle
hijacked a truckload of metal from the factory
they stole a jet engine from the old air force base
the mad captain nodded satisfactorily

they welded the metal into a battering ram
and the big jet engine was for extra speed
cannons armed in every direction
the mad captain had returned to the sea (x2)

they were a terror in the open waters
they’d sink any ship that they saw
and with their jet engine, they were able to avoid apprehension
and stay a step ahead of the law

vengeance in the form of a storm
came rolling across the sea
the mad captain pulled his eyes from the sky
he’d seen more than he wanted to see
"all hands below deck", the captain roared
"tie yourself down so you don’t go overboard"
