This time of the year inspired me to make a more cozy and relaxed beat, but also a bit experimental.
 I created a jazzy vibe with classic hip-hop drums.

Enjoy!

Music and Painting by Paulina Gomis
Human architecture. The portrait of your sacred geometric being. Being is perfect in its human essence. this portrait is of my friend Amir Ebrahim Bozorgi Heerd . With love.

They are the portrait of the essence. Telepathic divination to balance and stabilize the human structure in all its beauty. With the blessing of love.

      This is a song started when Mark came up with its architecture, recorded in a  slower, more laid back version on his own. However, he wanted a more souped up version with solos in turns. So, he turned to The Eclectic Collective to fill in the pieces. He originally had solos in all the parts which he laid down on the keys, and he had some lyrics, too. However, once he heard The Mysterious Decibel's excellent lyrics and vocals, the song totally changed the direction and the vibe, for the stellar. 

       But MD didn't start the whole thing. As happens sometimes, even without Tez on this one, we still needed to clear out some space to let everyone have their say. So, Mark went in and lengthened the song mechanically. Once we had a final form, Ken, as always, came up with the foundation for the song, allowing Josh to add his version of Mark's bass line. Then, after MD gave us the vocals to form the song, we got down to adding the solos. JJ first added his thrilling opening piano solo, as well as the electric piano solo right after the first verse, which Mark is also playing a VST sax solo in, as well. Then Josh added his guitar solo, which is the first of the two, with a very clean tone. Right after that, Stephen added his fiery solo, which follows right after with a more overdriven tone. Finally, Mark stepped back in and added his killer harp solo at the end. Of course, it needed to be mixed well, too, so we turned to Stephen for that important role, once again, which he fulfilled expertly.  

       This past Tuesday, we released a fun little series of interviews over a compilation of some of our favorite musical moments. If you want to hear our voices and some of our thoughts about music, check it out. I realize it's a big ask at twenty minutes, but you might really enjoy it, especially if you follow us, and have been for a while. It's a celebration of all of our work over the past almost year together in various forms. This song was supposed to be a showcase of all of our skills, except Tez isn't in on this one. He'll be on the next one, though, for sure.

       We hope you enjoy this jazzier side of the EC as much as we enjoyed making it. MD's lyrics are about a psycho killer artist who hides clues about his murders in his paintings. 

Original Lyrics by The Mysterious Decibel:

Some might say he's crafty and planned.
With a shade of black and a brush in his hand
Some might say the world is his oyster
But no Pearl lays inside just a conjuring blur

He'll paint you a murderous scene
With the blending of  sin all between pigments of green
He's a shady fella Who hides behind the canvas!
I spy something with my little eye
This art might show just where he died

Will you find it?
The secret
Some freak shit
are you so sure you'll really wanna Keep it ?
The secret
Are you so sure you'll really wanna keep it?
Ahhh a little secret
Are you so sure you'll really wanna keep it?
It'll haunt your mind like it does him too
He's a swifty one he'll come for you!
The secret
The secret
The secret
Are you so sure you'll really wanna keep it?

I spy something with my little eye
This art might show just where he died

His art might show
might show
might show
just where he died

Archive - Goodbye (Johann Bello Edit)

I first wrote the main electric piano hook for this song several years ago and discovered it again not too long ago.  I liked the 5/4 time signature and floaty feel of it so thought I'd see what I could do with it.  Like a few of my tunes of late, I suppose it could be classed as a 'remix' given the source of the vocal lines, but I don't think my version here sounds much (at all!) like the original...

Sweet Dream,
Sweet dream...

Close your eyes while shadows falling.
Sweet Dream,
Sweet dream...

Sleep tight, close your eyes.
Sweet dream...

Sandman's Calling.

The angel's up above you.
Sleep tight.
Sweet dream...
Sweet dream...

Sandman's Calling.
Goodnight precious.

Sleep tight.
Goodnight precious.

Sweet Dream (Sandman's Calling)

I reworked my chilled out track "My Lonely Mountain" into a more beat driven track giving it a more Trip Hop feel to it. Been wanting to do this for a while, as the original track was kind of too dreamy and mellow. I kept hearing this version in my head so I had to get it done and after a few sleepless nights in my studio, here it is.
