I enjoyed this very much, great vocals and guitar playing!

You're already talented but I'm sure that in the future if you keep going you'll find your audience and maybe make a living from music. That's all we wish for you.

One of my older songs updated this week, I may remix the tune with a classical treatment in the future. 

In the meantime, I wish you sweet dreams. I also hope that fears or threats are vanquished as quickly in your life as they are in my Bedtime Story. Happy trails!✨

Bedtime Story

HAGE PARADISE

Two short improvisations for this track....

LAST DRINK CLUB.

My first DAW song!
I enjoyed very much doing this song?
Can you also enjoy it?

Under Pressure
In this world of expectations where success is a decree
All the pressure from everywhere can easily break you and me
Schooling us with numbers and facts, who care is’s breaking our backs
All the promises I must keep still hunt me in my sleep
In this circle of demands the pressure still expands

Education should be the key, but if the pressure breaks me?
What if I cannot break free?

You think when I smile I’m shinning so bright, but deep within there is a fear I can’t fight
All the pressure closing on me, expectations, how to be free?
How can I handle the wight before it is too late?
The obligations are so strong, where do I belong?

Success is what we strive for, but I wonder if there’s more
Expectations are everywhere,  all the pressure I have to bear

Under Pressure

DISSOLUTION.  (French)

Ruggiero Miles - Love is all we got

“The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born; now is the time of monsters.” — Antonio Gramsci

allongé sur mon canapé
affalé devant la télé
lassé des pitreries stériles
de Folamours télévisés

à mon tour ! maitre des mondes
disponible et motivé
je suis prêt

allongés sur vos canapés
affalés devant vos télés
regardez, comme c'est facile
mes faux amours télévisés

pour toi, maitre des mondes
suis disponible et motivé
je suis prêt 

 (x2) 
l'allure outrancière 
la machoire batracière
j'opère ma mutation
je suis Syoïse le poisson

tapi dans mon repère 
la mémoire carnassière
avec pour vous déplaire 
vos amours en gibecière

à mon tour, l'être immonde
impavide, désabusé
je suis laid

occupé à fourbir mes armes 
à aiguiser l'acier
avant qu'à l'oeil la larme
vous ne me remerciez

pour toi, maitre des mondes
impavide, désabusé
je suis laid

(x3)
-- amphibien amphibie 
-- affublé de lubies

(x2)
on me  couronne
au son des orgues
Ubu pompeux et confus / Ubu imbu et repu
-- on te couronne
-- au son des orgues
-- Ubu pompeux et confus / Ubu imbu et repu
 
(x2)

j'ai l'arme dévastatrice
j'ai l'ame rédemptice
et l'armée complice
d'un savant fou
savez-vous

-- sauvez-vous
-- sauvez-vous

je marquerai de mon sceau
les planètes rebelles
-- retourne à ton seau
-- et retourne à ta pelle / tu nous caches l'arc en ciel

TITLE: STRUNG & RUN
________________________________________________
LYRICS:

(Verse 1)
I gave you love
It filled the air
You vanished quick
Like you weren’t there
You left me tangled
Threads undone
You keep me strung
But then you run

(Chorus)
Life ain’t sweet like candy dreams
No Good & Plenty
Bursting seams
I need someone who truly sees
The hidden worth inside of me

(Verse 2)
I asked for care
You gave me none
Your silence weighed a thousand tons
I held my heart out in the sun
You keep me strung
But then you run

(Chorus)
Life ain’t sweet like candy dreams
No Good & Plenty
Bursting seams
I need someone who truly sees
The hidden worth inside of me

(Bridge)
Was I a moment
Just a fling
A song you hum but never sing
I won’t be left
Undone
Unsung
You keep me strung
But now I’ve sprung

(Chorus)
Life ain’t sweet like candy dreams
No Good & Plenty
Bursting seams
I need someone who truly sees
The hidden worth inside of me

The Hidden Worth Inside

Strung & Run

Cast of Characters:

Joe Stroffolino-- @joseph-stroffolino -- Taylor 114ce acoustic guitar, main vocals, harmony vocals, lyrics, composition

Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Epiphone Les Paul electric guitar

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

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –- four string Fender Precision Bass, and Roland organ

TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– Tom Anderson Custom T electric guitar, mix, mastering, and production

  
This song began when Joe, feeling a bit nostalgic, wrote the lyrics and composed it on his acoustic guitar. He recorded it and sang it with expert harmonies, then decided to share it with Eclectic Collective. We were all very excited to get work on our second song with Joe, as we all admire his songwriting.

  First up was Tez this time, oddly enough. He was able to identify all the fill spots and light up the solo without the rest of us even adding anything yet. Next came Ken, who usually goes first, adding his steady grooving drums and tasty percussion. Once the drums were down, Josh completed the rhythm section by adding his fretted bass. He also worked out an organ part to give the whole sound a bit of thickness. Also adding some thickness and texture, Stephen added a clean electric rhythm part, as well. 

  Once we had it in can we asked Stephen to mix and produce it for us, which he did in his always expert fashion. 

  This, as mentioned, is Eclectic Collective's second song with Joe, and we all enjoyed bringing it to life with him. He's a wonderful collaborator and an all around good dude. Do yourself a favor and go check out his page, which is rich in great songs. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.

Original lyrics by Joe Stroffolino:

If you find yourself in trouble and you think you've lost your way. 
Here's hoping that you find a path to a better day.
I sure hope that you're happy.  I'm wishing you the best.
I hope you find what you're looking for as you continue on your quest.
I hope you find all the answers to all those questions vexing you.
I hope you can find a way not to bite off more than you can chew.
I sure hope that you're happy.  I'm wishing you the best.
I hope you find what you're looking for as you continue on your quest.
You spread your wings and you flew so far away from me.
I hope that you're enjoying your new reality
All those places that you said that you wanted to see.
I hope they're as good as you expected them to be.
I want you to know that you hold a special place in my heart.
I think about you often even though we are apart.
They say that when you love somebody sometimes you gotta be willing to let them go.
You gotta let them spread their wings and fly wherever the wind decides to blow. 
I sure hope that you're happy.  I'm wishing you the best.
I hope you find what you're looking for as you continue on your quest.
I hope that you're happy. I hope that you're doing well.  I sure hope that you're doing swell.You spread your wings and you flew so far away from me.
I hope that you're enjoying your new reality

Hope That You Are Happy - (Eclectic Collective with Joe Stroffolino)

Pride (2006)

In den Anfangsjahren von Kontakt ist diese Idee mit dem George Duke Plugin entstanden und nicht fertig gestellt. Lange Zeit unbeachtet und eher als versuch betrachtet, in Vergessenheit geraten. Die Möglichkeit durch Kontakt und dem George Duke Plugin einen Weltklasse Musiker zu integrieren sollte nicht lange auf sich warten lassen...mir schien nur die Luft ausgegangen zu sein. Nun war die Zeit gekommen um es zu beenden!
Habe für mich das unkomprimierte Mastern entdeckt um viel mehr Dynamik zu erhalten...was das Mischen ohne Peaks nicht leichter macht! Einfach den Lautstärkeregler Bedienen da ich den Lautheitswahn nicht mit unterstütze :-) Viel Spaß

In the early years of Kontakt, this idea for the George Duke plugin was born but never finished. Long ignored and considered more of an experiment, it was forgotten. The opportunity to integrate a world-class musician through Kontakt and the George Duke plugin wasn't long in coming... I just seemed to have run out of steam. Now the time had come to finish it!
I've discovered uncompressed mastering for myself, which allows for much more dynamic range... which doesn't make mixing without peaks any easier! Just use the volume control, as I don't support the loudness craze :-) Have fun!

Heavy Punk Rock 'n' Roll band turns into Synthwave nowadays! Brand NEW album "Ultraviolet Cosmos" available NOW!

Just a girl and her music, trying to do everything on her own. I like older rock, hard rock, and punk rock music, but maybe not so much typical heavy metal. I only like a few songs by the big metal bands Metallica and Iron Maiden, but of course I like a few of theirs too. My music is therefore more rock or punk than metal.
Thank you for all the PMs proposing DAWs to me!!! I have now everything including and USB-Audio-Interface to record a bit more professional. My musical story: after the winter holidays 2015/16 my teacher told us Motörhead ist dead, since the main person of it died. We children did not really understand it. But I always wanted to find out what Motorhead is. So a few years later 2020 or 21 I finally wanted to know it and tried listening to them - and I liked them. Actually I never liked Metal, but with Motörhead it is different. One of their songs is Ramones, well then I discoverd the Ramones wich I also liked! At the beginning of 2022, I wanted to play their songs and started to play guitar, bought a 2nd hand Epiphone and got an amp from my older brother who has a band. I played very much and soon discovered I needed to learn barre-chords to play Motorhead, which I did. The Ramones songs were also the right songs, usually only chords and vocals, not too difficult, just the right songs to play and sing for me. 
Actually my first expierence with music making was my brother's band. When I was 15 or 16 he needed a female voice and asked me, so i did 2 songs with them and had a lot of fun. A bit later I started playing the guitar. I am very sorry for my poor sound of my first 2 songs. I did not have an audio interface and a DAW at the time I recorded and uploaded them. The songs were played in one go and phone-recorded. Hope that some of you can ignore the sound and enjoy the music.
