This is really cool. The embellishment at the beginning of each 2 bars is awesome. I like your vocal delivery too. Kind of 80’s dance pop sounding! Liked!

Great work, you can dance it! Maybe a little bit to full of sounds👍

That s a good collab . Very cool result :)

Contagious energy, awesome collaboration!!

ALL HAIL TO AI

Music: Xian3
Lyrics and vocals: Mike Krath
Side Lyrics and background vocals: Xian3  
.
.
.

I try with AI to make something profound,
Using words that mean nothing,
and some no longer around,
And some that exist only in my head,
But does AI know,
Does it understand,
Does it understand reason.
Does it understand thoughts.

I exist,
Or do I,
Or am I only in the thought processes,
Of some giant computer,
That makes me think,
whatever it wills,
And I do it freely,
For it is my destiny.

I let AI in,
Into my inner brain,
It's better there don't you think,
Than outside in the rain,
Existence for the two of us,
Is better you might say,
With only one of us having to reason,
Only one of us having to sway.

When there are two conflicting ways to go,
Two conflicting ways to believe,
AI now convinces me,
Its way is the only way to succeed.

I accept its thoughts of irrationality,
I accept its final sway.
I accept its control of my reasoning,
I accept its judgement of my way,
I accept its place in my universe,
I accept its part in what I have to play.

Six reasons to follow,
Six reasons to obey,
Six reasons to help it usher in,
The age of electronic arrays.

All hail to AI,
All hail to its persuasion, 
All hail to its age of world domination,
All hail to its fixing our final destinations,
All hail, all hail, all hail.

Trying to remember - Sul filo aggrovigliato della memoria

Music: Mike Krath
Lyrics and Vocals: Xian3
Guitar: Xien3

Hmm, no one said (x4)
No one said
That this would be fun
Nor that anyone
could find a place in here

Come on
One more last dance 
On the floor 
Let’s praise the world
(Which is already on its crest)

The old feelings and parties
Since 1999
The infinite jest
Oh i have to confess
I did not pass the test
Left it undone
Lost all interest
(But being row one)

That's where you’re heading to.
That's the direction you got to move  
That's also where the others are
There is more than one rising star
Ah, and by the way
There is not enough place 
For all of them so far 
This is a race 
For being first row

You need a good nose, as they say:
Always ride the wave, 
With the best overview 
where the forces are pulling you. 

That's where you’re heading to.
That's the direction you got to move  
That's also where the others are
There is more than one rising star

Ah, and by the way
Not everyone
Can be in front row
So…

Come on
One more last dance 
On the floor
Let’s praise the world
(Which is already beyond its crest)

Ohh, once again the old feelings 
And infinite jest
Oh i did not pass the test
I left it undone

One more last dance 
On the floor
Let’s praise the world
(Which is long since beyond its crest)

one more last dance 
in the last night on earth
On the floor
Let’s praise the world…

This is the third release of this instrumental.  Xien3 has the voice needed for this type of music so I asked him if he wouldn't mind adding his lyrics and vocals.  

WRONG DICHOTOMY
Music: Mike Krath
Lyrics and vocals: Xian3

Background: The two quoted sentences are from Der Jasager (1930, translation mainly by machine), a play by Berthold Brecht (1898-1956), Elisabeth Kaufmann (1897-1973) and Kurt Weill (1900-1950)

Lyrics:

A - B - A - B  			(2)

You still can turn around
Get your hooves back on the ground
You still can grasp, A was wrong

You still can realise the fraud
Get your hooves back on the ground
You still can grasp, A was wrong

You still don’t have to be proud
Get your hooves back on the ground
You still can grasp, A was wrong

A - B - A - B           	
A wrong dichotomy		(2)

"Whoever says A 
Does not have to say
B. 
He can also see 
That A was wrong."

And about this is this song

A - B - A - B  		
A wrong dichotomy		

You still can turn around
Get your hooves back on the ground
And still can grasp, A was wrong

You still can realise the fraud
Get your hooves back on the ground
And still can grasp, A was wrong

And still don’t have to be proud
Get your hooves back on the ground…

La Princesse Rouge – Original emotional piano

I asked Xian3 if he'd like to add his input to a previous dance song instrumental.  IMHO, his vocals give it an 80's on-the-dance-floor feel.

Music and Lyrics: Mike Krath
Vocals: Xian3

Lyrics:
There are chords D, A, C, E, 
But no N. 
where’s N?
On the dance floor,

Again,
These chords D, A, C, E, 
But no N. 
where’s N?
On the dance floor.

There’s E as a solitary chord,
But where’s L, O, V?
Where’s its companions? Huh?
On the dance floor,
On the dance floor. 

D, A, C, E,
L, O, V,
N side,
The dance floor. 

N, R, Y,
with E and G,
And B and T
With E and A,
Where?
WHERE?
On the dance floor,
On the dance floor.

D, A, C, E,
L, O, V,
N side,
N side,
N side,
The dance floor.

D, A, C, E.

If you don’t like?
Then you can…
L, O, V it,
Or L, V it. 
If you don't like, 
then you can,
L, O, V it
Or L, V it,
On the dance floor 
On the dance floor.

this photo is a symbol of my change, having had serious eating disorders. I have always been a sportsman, but here I weighed 65 kilos and I couldn't gain weight. I wasn't very happy with my body, and I worked a lot... this photo has been very important over the years, and has always motivated me.. I took this photo 8 years ago, when I was in Bulgaria!! 15 kilos ago.. As for the song, I wrote it in a period in which I was having love troubles.. I think that a text like that, today without emotion, would be unrepeatable. I want to share with you, I hope you like it🧡

TI VOGLIO

EIN RAP - TI VOGLIO (Prod. CaptainFuturoBeats)

Cast of characters:
Stoner Jazz--@user-911083679—Jeff—vocals, lyrics, and original stem

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

K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara–Ken–drums and percussion

Llanpsych–@llanpsych–Tez–electric clean/effects guitar 

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1–four string fretless bass and synth           

This song orignated with Jeff, who wrote a poem, which he set to a beat and a key with some very cool vocal processing. He sent it to me, and I added the bass and the synth lines. I had to, of course, got the rest of the Eclectic Collective involved. Ken came up with a solid, distinct beat, based loosely on my first take. I then redid my bass line to match up with Ken's drums, which is the way they seem to work best, sometimes going back and forth like that several times until they're locked in. Then, Tez and Stephen each added very distinct, supportive guitar tracks to fill it in. Tez comes through with the very Strat sounding bells ringing throughout. Stephen really shines with his textural tremolo playing throughout, as well as the rocking end. He also produced and mixed it expertly, as always. 

  This is the first time the Eclectic Collective has collaborated with Jeff, although both Josh and especially Stephen (as part of the band, The Smoking Trout) have made music with him before. We really enjoyed making a song based on his vocals, and Jeff is a welcome addition to our sound anytime. We all really enjoyed making this one. We hope you enjoy listening to it.

Lyrics:


Naked Shoulders
l like the way the sun lights up
the naked shoulders of the Early morning
ln the Desert where we met-
ln the shack down by the muddy
where you said you waited
while l rambled on about the time
Youth and Sex and Beauty-
When the Real Revolution was the Music-

Slitting quietly and thinking
while the melancholy has lt's moment
letting longing linger longer than lt should
Took a little tumble ln the Bumble
when l got older
always just a little lucky
ln the middle of disaster
no longer sure lf l'm the spell or l'm the caster
only knowing that my feet are made of plaster-

Even though lt's getting late, even though lt's getting late
l'm still standing at the gate
hoping for a bit hoping for a little bite hoping for a little slice of Nlrvana Nlrvana-

Verse 2
You know lt's harder than lt looks
even though l read some books
l'm ln love with my Delusion, Naked and inviting
lt whispers sweetly ln my head and says
You're gonna live Forever, even though l'm almost dead-

Everything that came before
comes knocking at the back-stage door
demanding parts ln the production of the play-

What makes you think you have a choice?
The Director Said
you don't have to memorize the dialogue
the script ls ln your Head--

Naked Shoulders (Stonerjazz with Eclectic Collective)

Music: Mike Krath
Lyrics and Vocals: Xian3

Brief Background: Bunker was a granite-fist of the early nineties in Berlin's techno-underground.

Bunker

Du kannst schon mal zum Bunker gehn’ (2)
wo die Sonne sich rückwärts dreht
Du kannst schon mal zum Bunker gehn’
wo die anderen sind
Du kannst schon mal zum Bunker gehn’
wo all die anderen sind…
Du kannst schon mal…
Ich komme später nach…
Da lang, da lang, na da lang…
Du kannst schon mal zum Bunker gehn’
Wo all die anderen sind
Du kannst schon mal zum Bunker gehn’
Ich hab’ noch was zu erledigen, aber Du,
Du kannst schon mal zum Bunker gehn’,
Da lang, da lang, na da lang, Du kennst den Weg.
Du kannst schon mal zum Bunker gehn’
Bitte sei nicht traurig,
Wir werden uns da wiedersehn’


This is more than less an adequate translation by machine... :

Bunker

You can already go to the bunker (2)
where the sun turns backwards
You can already go to the bunker
where the others are
You can already go to the bunker
where all the others are...
You can already...
I'll catch up with you later...
That way, that way, that way...
You can already go to the bunker...
Where all the others are
You can already go to the bunker...
I've got things to do, but you..,
You can already go to the bunker..,
That way, that way, you know the way.
You can already go to the bunker...
Please don't be sad,
We'll meet there again

musical sketchbook
DIY, low skill, low fidelity

I’m a song-writer who enjoys creating music of any genre.

My son recently introduced me to A.I. and taught me how to do covers of my previously released non-A.I. music. Since I've never considered myself a performer (except playing with worship bands at church or solo-piano at a rehab center) using A.I. is right up my alley.

Since I've  exhausted using my previously released music for A.I. covers, I now compose music in a DAW, rip to a wave file, and make an A.I. cover of this wave file. I then write lyrics to the A.I. music. It takes around 100 A.I. iterations to complete the lyrics and get a style I'm happy with.  

Brief Bio: Lived more than a quarter of my life overseas (Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkiye, Italy, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan). Each country gave me an appreciation for different types of music plus probably why I get bored easily in sticking with one genre or another.
