Cast of characters:
The Beautiful Dark -- @thebeautifuldark -- Carl — Ovation guitar, lead vocals, lyrics, and compostion
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick fretless four-string bass
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark –- VST timbale, production editing
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen — Tom Anderson Custom T electric guitar, production, mix, and mastering
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – electric piano and synth
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender Telecaster HSS electric guitrar
This song began as Carl's tribute poem to our drummer, Ken. Carl came up with the chord progression and started a project, to which he invited the rest of us. This is the third song Eclectic Collective has done that is a tribute by Carl to one of our members.  We couldn't feel more honored than to be the subjects of his wild and boundless creativity.
  Fittingly, Ken was first in line to add his magnificent drums. Once we had drums, Josh had something to work with to add his bass, which he did shortly after the drums were up. Mark paid the project a visit next, helping out with a bit of production editing, and dropping in a mad percussion solo using his VST timbale drums.l.Stephen jumped in soon after, adding the melodic electric guitar riffs that appear throughout. Not to be outdone, JJ added some sonically thickening electric piano, as well as the throwback psychedelic synth that pops up towards the end. Finally, Tez came along and added the electrifying solo that appears about a third of the way in, as well as the one at the end. 
  Once the recording was finished, we turned it over to Stephen to mix in his always professional manner. 
  This song is all about our very talented teammate and brother, Ken, and it is well deserved, too. As mentioned, this is the third song from Carl about one of us. It's hard to describe the feeling of having someone who you respect take the time and energy to think about you in such a positive way as to produce a song about you. Then to have all your buddies join in to amplify it to a solid song is just mind-blowing. We are all very grateful to Carl for not only sharing his music with us, but for his thoughtful consideration of each of us as subjects. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.
Original lyrics by The Perfect Dark:
Karakoram human
You decorate good future
As many lose their Gods
You stand tall as suture

Rhythmic mountain maestro
Each day, graft, working hard
So kids can eat
Bruised back sees very best of yard

Still, beats get born of evenings
Deep love finds joules to jam
May generation X soothe meaning
Let's teach the younger pussies what we can

To Ken, from pen, to page, to Music
To friends, Now is when, Good sage soup soothes us
Honest and brave, To Jesus he save
Kudos our maestro of percussive wave

Karakoram human
You decorate good future
As many lose their Gods
You stand tall as suture
Sticks in hand
Cymbals a floating
Snare and bass backbone gland
Tom'ed Ringo Star man keep quoting
Keep life steady paced by hand

To Ken, from pen, to page, to Music
To friends, Now is when, Good sage soup soothes us
Honest and brave, To Jesus he save
Kudos our maestro of percussive wave

While waiting for the next tracks, which are a long time coming, two field recordings made in Vietnam with some very special animals!...
I recorded these incredible bird songs very quickly in the mangroves of Tra Su, in the Mekong Delta. Unfortunately, there is background noise on the tape, and I was only able to recover 1 min 20 of listenable sound. But the recording conditions were very complicated, especially because of the dozens of mosquitoes biting me while I was struggling with my recorder! I have no idea what these birds are, if anyone recognizes their song, please share in the comments!

En attendant les nouveaux morceaux, qui se font attendre, deux nouveaux enregistrements de terrain réalisés au Vietnam avec quelques animaux très spéciaux !...
J'ai enregistré ces incroyables chants d'oiseaux très rapidement dans les mangroves de Tra Su, dans le delta du Mékong. Malheureusement, il y a des bruits parasites sur la bande, et je n'ai pu récupérer que 1 min 20 de son écoutable. Mais les conditions d'enregistrement étaient très compliquées, notamment à cause des dizaines de moustiques qui me piquaient pendant que je me débattais avec mon enregistreur ! Je n'ai aucune idée de ce que sont ces oiseaux, si quelqu'un reconnaît leur chant, n'hésitez pas à partager dans les commentaires !

This Jedi inspired some of the thinking in this song. A fabulous TED talk.
Pea head Padawan thanks you,
Anthony Metivier - A proper Jedi Master 🪶

This is the final track in the Jedi themed album. In this track I'm thinking of how Vader turned back. I'm considering how ObiWan becomes that all powerful influence even though he's dead. Maybe when we die, a pure intentional spirit of sorts is whats left in the grievers head becoming that light. If I compare that feeling to people I've lost in my life, choices always align with what they would want for me and that's generally a well grounded point of view. I know I'm creating that myself but in the light of their spirit, maybe it makes decisions a little more pure.

I'm also thinking about how the power of love for his child eventually overpowered the infatuation he had to bring his love back to life. Another metaphor for how our priorities can get lost in loving or hating something that we let matter maybe more then it should. Our kids are what matter for everyone's future and thats a beautiful thing to reiterate in my own head through this song and album.

Back from the Dark

Strike me down
I become your grief
Soon find just pure intentional relief
My spirit in mind new quality control
No longer will you fight my challenge of soul
In the dark the mind needs to be right
Thought filled avatar blind to the light
But honest grief cuts through the fud
Maybe we think of what want they would
Filterer of fear
Think spirit of past
That love you still have
Death
All hate cast
The lasting lights
Love, trust and honour
The force fuelled right
Lost lives
Pure ponder
We came to the dark to save old true love
It was selfish
Toxic
Seldom enough
But what of our seed
In that dark forgotten
Where is your power
Lost in love rapture rotten
On offspring we focus
The make better me
Or at least we must lay good seed for that tree
We can't be the hate
We can't be the war
We can't be bad news
We can't blame before
We must be the love
We must be new peace
We must make good news
We must sign light lease
From here we know how a future can glow
We make it now
We prove the flow
We illuminate young paths to grow

We're back from the dark
Emperor slayed
Slayed with silence
No magnetic mirror
Enlightened compliance
Good dearer come nearer
Good dearer come nearer
Good dearer come nearer


To switch off thought in Sanskrit, several mantras and phrases can be used.
"Om Shanti Shanti Shanti" (ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः), meaning "Om, peace, peace, peace," is a common mantra for promoting inner peace and tranquility.

Another powerful mantra is the Gayatri Mantra, which is a prayer for enlightenment and wisdom, starting with
"Om Bhur Bhuvah Svah" (ॐ भूर्भुवः स्वः). 

Additionally,
"Aatma jnaanam param shaastram"
(आत्मज्ञानं परम शास्त्रं), meaning "Self-knowledge highest science," can be used to focus on self-awareness and thought termination.

Slay the Emperor in your head 🪶🕉️ Maybe it's the only way we will evolve together is to control the one thing we can. Our own mind 🧬🎶 We can choose to walk with the fascists or we can be at one with ourselves to be at one with everything and everyone else. The more of us that find that place we cut the head off the fascists the right way. With inner peace 🕊️ Let's not let them win. Maybe let's lose absolute beliefs no matter how good we think they are, they still impose a non evolving truth. Inner peace being an absolute goal just finds your truth not what some other clown told you to believe yesterday or 2000 years ago. We can choose to absorb and re project the conscientiousness and moral value from any human that exists or has existed but maybe let's stop putting them on pedatals. They are and were just humans like you and me

The Old Mill

Great wild grains
Human tamed grass
For thousands of years
Ground sustenance passed
We priced this grind in Latin d
To Craanford mills
History we see

Destination for read news
The illiterate learned in kiln room
Tools of health from hard French stone
Great gears of life
Good kids to hone

Great milestones carved
Celtic design
Our base stone still
Upper runner grind
Our mill stone dresser
Life ground by hands
Grooved harps our patterns of furrows and lands

Old Mill give us pill

Good lands be dressed
Carve cracks as furrows
Pick wonky tool bran cleaned from kernal
Prove worn stone
Jack stick paints red
Red ochre even our fine stone bed

Wonder wheel of water
Overshot it strikes
Thunderous gravity falls for Mill might
Gargantuan gears turn our great stones
Feed us our years fine sustenance tones

Irish Stream

This stream holds all the real power
This stream just goes with the flow
This stream pre dates our short hour
This stream shows how we all can go
This stream holds life
This stream recycles
This stream has not strife
This stream is joule's cycle
This stream is us
This stream is body
This stream sees no fuss
This stream forever hobby
This stream is real
This stream is truth
This stream pure scene
This stream is for youth
This stream holds ALL the real power
This stream is future as most true hour

I am still looking, trying and experimenting, I really like electronic ambient for many years, but it only works as a live percussionist. In short, nothing is black or white:)
In today's hectic world I need quiet sounds and the vast majority of songs created at night, so are my compositions such as they are.

My tracks is based on the absolute freedom of the use of sound. Arises as if I painted a picture. In the head is the base, and then adding the details here and there.
As well as if I were his music told the story.

I use: Ableton-Live-Suite with Partnerinstrumets, Kontakt Player + virtual instrumentzs,NI-Machine, Ableton Push, Acces Virus TI Snow, Waldorf Blofeld, AKAI MPK 49, Korg Microkorg XL+,KORG Kaossilator,Kaosspad,KORG Wavedrum, Roland HPD 20, nord lead A1 r, Yamaha mx49, Roland Edirol for Fieldrecordings - and various live percussion.(Kalimba, frame drum, tombak, koshi etc)
