Here is a real saucy elecrto acid jazz track to smooth your wrinkly brain to. Your mind like an opal blade as it slices through the nonsense of the world with the best sort of nonsense available!

Opal Sword (SKY)

Another warm and soothing electro jazz pool for you to dip your weary audio toes into.  Tidus definitely enjoying the new instrument we have added to our kit! Take a moment to be transported to the field of amethyst pillars an ancient crystalline Forrest that reawakens dreams you have once lost. The ones that take flight from your mind the moment your waking eyes flutter open. 

Amethyst Pillars (MODE)

You gotta get up

To get down
**Story dictated by Tidus and collaborated with for phrasing with Mitchell**
 
You gotta! Garnet doorways to alternate dimensions... I think that's correct. I found the doors led to other doorways. Then corridors and floorboards. Soon I found a dimensional door. The door simmered and glowed. There were stairs beyond it and a sign stated 'gateways'. I went through the door but what I saw were not stairways but instead a world of garnet.

Garnet Doorways (DOWN)

In Nihongo "Deska?" or 'Desu ka?' means on varying context "to be?", "I see", "Is that so?" the context here supports all three.

Unless that is wrong and then this song just has a rhythmic audio segment:p. 

Another track for the Topple solo project. This one is combined to its previous track. Always trying things on for size but when I'm quick to morph to the dimensions of the vessel its had to tell how I'll ever actually fit...
This one is for all of those out there, 
out there. 
Somewhere out there, 
you are out there; 
you know who you are!
Far out! 
Next time you crack open the sky,
Have another for my sake. 
We will take turns breathing
We will share our time out there.
We will peer through the modern sky
Below the ancient land.

Modern Skies/Ancient Lands (Stage 2)

This is the third and final stage for the three stage tracks. Going to be taking a little step sideways for a moment. It was very cathartic and refreshing to have the time for crafting and expressing my thoughts with you all. I am always very humbled and grateful for you all, the listeners, for taking moments out of your life to share these moments!
See y'all around!

OverEXPOsure/Gnosis (Stage 3)

Rhythm Fun (Remix)

The Emrald City skyline is a sight to behold.
They celebrate the triumphant return of you, dear listener! You can hear them now as the rhythmic motions permeate from the still distant emrald towers. Welcome back weary wanderer! You were never a stranger here!

What's The Password? You Gotta Tell Me — It's The Name Of A Fish

That's the contemplation album complete. 6 tracks all 8 mins and this track is just words ad-libbed using the letters of the word contemplative as an acrostic like guide


that's enough contemplating for now 😆🕺



Note on the tempos. So I started track 1 with a tempo of 22 BPM. A nice slow tempo allowing for a variance of being able to imagine different metrics whilst listening to the instrumental piece.
To get a variance through the album over and above that then I halved the tempo and did tracks at 11, 5.5 and 2.75 BPM

This is also a nice way of getting different in time responses from using delays and reverbs within the DAW. I wanted to retain the 8 mins per track so I used 4/2 timing and 4/1 timing for the half and quarter speeds respectively. This made it easy to lock in the 8 minute lengths with different tempos and adjusted timings

That's another thing worth learning. If you want to do very slow tempo stuff and your DAW like logic doesn't allow decimal place BPM, you can change the timing of the bar to get you count at the decimal BPM thats less then 10. This allows for being exactly in time with a wider array of faster tempos and not just ones that are divisable by whole numbers

For example

22BPM 4/4
11 BPM 4/4
5.5 BPM 4/2
2.75 BPM 4/1

It's an extra little nugget for allowing some clever timings and getting slightly different results or allowing for the option of symmetry with a wider array of timings as mentioned above

Contemplative #6

Cast of Characters:
Cgmaness – @hiddenhands-760647700 – Chris – organ, synth, effects-heavy guitar, initial drums and bass, and composition
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 – Warwick four-string fretless bass, PRS SE semi-hollow body electric guitar, vocals, and lyrics
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – piano
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark –- VST bassoon and harpsicord   
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – production, mix, and mastering

This song began with Chris composing it with his synth, guitar, drum pad and bass. Like many of his songs, it was pretty well formed before the rest of the group got a hold of it. This song was part of a load of songs he shared with the rest of Eclectic Collective all at once. We've been picking them off one by one, though, as we're always grateful to Chris for sharing his magic with us.
  The odd sound of the rhythmic melody, which uses chromatic walks, immediately caught Josh's ears. It struck him as something the Doors might have come up with. So, he set about replacing Chris' simple bass line with something fancier, as well as coming up with the lead guitar for the whole thing, and the lyrics and vocals, as well. Josh was really taken with this one, and heard all kinds of parts in it almost immediately. Ken went to bat next, adding his innovative, John Densmore-like drums to it, replacing Chris' initial rhythmic idea. JJ came next and added the essential piano you hear throughout. After that, Mark found a place for his amazing bassoon/harpsicord solo in the middle. But before it was all over, Chris also added some doubled vocals, too, to actualize the lyrics, which are about two friends taking an acid trip together. 
  After it was all laid down, we asked Tez to mix it for us, which he did in his expert fashion, as always.
  This is our latest song composed by Chris, and we love working on his music. If you dig this, you should pay his page a visit, too, as it's full of diamonds. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it. 
Original lyrics by Josh Clary:
Come take a trip with me and together we will see
Into the end
Of time
That you are also me 
And I am also you
We’re in the soup
And in a loop

Underneath your skin 
You’re the same as I
Yet we strive  
To divide
If you want to blur the lines
Just dislodge yourself from time
Let’s fly
Let ego die


We’ll discover what is hidden,
And know why it’s forbidden 
So hold tight 
To what’s right
Just come along with me
And together we can see
Use the light 
Of night

You are also me and I am also you
It’s true
We’re in the stew
I am also you and you are also me
Just look inside 
And see
  
Just feel your temples squeeze
And put your mind at ease
And tune in
To my vibe
You can come along 
Just listen to the song
And melt 
With me

Down and down we go
We should take it slow
Unless we can’t 
We’re all ants
 I knew that we’d have fun
I knew you were the one
To do this with
Now we’re a myth

We could go all night 
Until the sun is bright
It’s a long 
Long ride

You are also me and I am also you
It’s true
We’re in the stew
I am also you and you are also me
Just look inside
And see
