I support the idea of a separate profile for your more serious or even dark tracks like this  very enjoyable one.

This is deep. If the eyes prevail will I hear it?

I Like this one too! You’ve been on point 🎯 with the whole Spooky 👻 season vibes! 😎🔥

The tracks here are a solo project of TATWD member Mitchell. The following tracks are in no way associated to the TATWD projects and are for a more mature listening audience.  Also metal might not be your bag but you like the TATWD that's totally cool! Maybe you don't like either... well you can't please everyone!!!

Machine Talks : A solo project by Mitchell of TATWD

Wild dreams flowering in an urban landscape - flutes and soprano saxophone meander through the city. Chilled synth eases the path.

Chapter 249 of 266

Enter the enigmatic world of "TAFFETA," a musical tapestry woven from the threads of consciousness and tragedy. Born from a single night of profound dreaming, this ambitious project embarks on an exploration of the human psyche through the language of instrumental music.

This is a five-year project, comprising of what will eventually end at 266 chapters, each is a standalone piece of sonic artistry, "TAFFETA" unfolds like a novel, with each composition serving as a chapter in a larger narrative. Crafted with meticulous care and creative fervor, every piece is birthed within the span of a week, capturing the essence of inspiration in its purest form.

But "TAFFETA" is more than just a collection of songs; it's a journey of the soul. Set against the backdrop of loss and longing, the project follows the story of a woman who slips into a coma following the untimely death of her husband. Through the evocative power of music, listeners are transported into her world, where emotions ebb and flow like the tides of a restless sea.

Week by week, each chapter of "TAFFETA" unfolds on SoundCloud, inviting audiences to immerse themselves in its haunting beauty. From cinematic compositions to haunting electronic soundscapes, each piece adds a layer to the intricate tapestry of sound, weaving a narrative that transcends the boundaries of language.

As listeners embark on this sonic voyage, they are invited to ponder the mysteries of existence, to confront the depths of sorrow and the resilience of the human spirit. "TAFFETA" is not merely a musical project; it's an experience—a testament to the transformative power of music to touch hearts, stir souls, and awaken the imagination.

Starting on some solo work under the name Machine Talks. I will eventually set up a sound cloud for it maybe?

The machine Talks...
And we listened...
We counted all the demons...
We found them in our hearts...
But we are ill prepared...

Arise! arise! all eyes!
We are ill prepared!
The eyes will prevail...

Arise! Arise! All eyes!
For we are ill prepared!

The eyes will prevail...

Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark –- vocals, lyrics, mix, and production

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– master and production
This song started as a project that was begun on his guitar and synth, then shelved by our master songwriter, Chris. He always gives us magic to work with, and as soon as he shared this one with the rest of Eclectic Collective, we all jumped on it.
Mark heard his part first, and set about writing some great lyrics to sing with his solid, inimitable voice. His lyrics are about a hypothetical future where we've turned to technology in search of human connection, only to realize that it has only isolated us more, and that we really already had that connection to begin with. The narration is from a future perspective, like all this has already happened, and its speaking to us from the future, almost like a warning.
The rhythm section was still absent, though, but not for long. Ken added his groovy, perfectly in the vibe drums to it next. Josh, of course followed soon after, now that he had drums to work with, by adding his fretless four string bass to the song. Now that it was sounding like a well rounded piece, Tez came through with some thrilling guitar solos that you hear throughout. JJ first added some piano, B3, and sax to the song, then later completed it with his psychedelic synth and divine voice synth that provides the "choir" you hear in there.
Now that it was all in the bag, Mark spent considerable time and effort mixing it, then turned it over to our resident pro Stephen for the mastering.
This is one of our favorite songs we've ever done, and it reminds us all of both Pink Floyd and King Crimson. This is a great example of what the team is able to do with a really solid, yet open musical seed, provided by a master composer. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it.
Original lyrics by Mistermark:
The wind by the seashore, the wash of the waves
the sand on your skin and the glance that you gave
the sounds of the carnival we left it all behind
there were words left unsaid at the back of your mind
how could I have been so blind?
It was so long ago now it’s just you and me
it seems I've forgotten the way you like your tea
the house becomes quiet as the guests head for home
the garden’s been gathered and the kids are all grown
on their own
“The robots will help” they said “it’s better this way”
“there’s no need to work and there’s more time to play”
our leaders assured us we’d never go poor
and nobody questions the truth anymore
but what did we do it all for?
Our science sustains us like fine works of art
but are we closer together or farther apart?
we’re each on an island alone on the sea
the ocean between us expands rapidly
is this where we wanted to be?
It was so long ago now it’s just you and me
it seems we’ve forgotten the way it used to be
machines tried to help us but something went wrong
the future we wanted was here all along
The wind by the seashore, the wash of the waves
the sand on your skin and the glance that you gave
the sounds of the carnival we left it all behind
there were words left unsaid…

Oh well! can't hold it back. here is another one. I guess I'm just a rebel even against my own judgment :P


The truth is what they believe 
They do not need to know
Let eyes believe 
What we will them to believe
No time to truly know

Sanctuary 

One does not read books
When they believe they are god
The hearts will deceive 
What we will them to believe 
They believe their shepherd knows

Sanctuary 

Beware the wolf in sheep's clothing 
Claiming sheep to be the wolves.
