5 words still ring in my ears:
“You’re now the state’s enemy!”
I feel like I am on trial
For crimes that I could not see

But I know that I’ll be strong 
But I can’t seem to get past
All the things that were said
Slipped my mind so fast 
But I know that I’ll be strong

Burn
Burn
I can’t burn
No burn

It’s like war has been declared
On those not wanting to fight
Because they’ve run out of blame
And they have failed to take flight

But I know that I’ll be strong 
But I can’t seem to get past
All the things that were said
Slipped my mind so fast 
But I know that I’ll be strong

Burn
Burn
I can’t burn
No burn

Burn
Burn
I can’t burn
No burn

Burn

Lyrics
--------------------------
I cut the tree and I hammer the nail
I fetch the water and I carry the pail
Harvest the wheat, and I bundle the bale

Fasten the saddle, the bridle and bit
I shoe the horses and I shovel their shit
I dig forever in the bottomless pit

I'm turning wrenches and I'm fueling the jet
My brow is furrowed and it's blistered with sweat
I'm on a boat with a hook and a net

I'm in the engine room, I'm driving the train
I'm climbing poles in the wind and the rain
I load containers from a towering crane

Repair the derricks for the men who get paid
I'm tugging triples up a slippery grade
I built the factory where the factories are made

I'm in the kitchen now preparing your meal
With hogs to slaughter and potatoes to peel
I hone the blade and I sharpen the steel

nowyyorg 2024 

One day I will be far away
away from you
away from memories
the sun will rise again, just like every day,
you won't be there
I won't be... 

Pewnego dnia będę daleko 
z dala od ciebie
z dala od wspomnień 
słońce znów wzejdzie, tak jak co dnia, 
ciebie nie będzie
nie będę ja ...

CAST OF CHARACTERS:
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- electric piano, synth, seed idea
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark –  vocals, lyrics, mix, and production
Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – guitar
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–banjo, guitar, sitar, and final mastering
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums, seed idea
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – four-string fretless bass

Composition – The Eclectic Collective
This song started in probably the most effective way our group writes them. Ken had a spectacular drum beat that was unused in a previous project, so JJ composed and recorded  a chord arrangement with his magical keys. Once we had a beat and a chord structure, Josh came along and added his foundational bass. 
     Now that the rhythm section was complete and the chord structure was in place, Stephen added his unique melody line that you hear at the beginning and every other verse on his magic banjo. He also plays all the initial guitar until around 1:40, where Tez takes over. Stephen also added some really trippy sitar in the vocal section. Then it was time for Tez to add some spice to the mix with his fiery guitar solos from about 1:40 on, eventually building up to a crescendo towards the end. 
     Once we had all the music down, we realized that we had a big gap in the bridge without much going on in it. So, Mark came through with an old poem he had written on his fridge with word magnets for his daughter more than a decade ago, and expanded on it for this song. (the poem is loosely based on the idea that our dreams exist in a digital environment/universe) The young girl's voice you hear echoing Mark's filtered voice is his daughter, in her first appearance with the EC. 
     The song was now finished, except for Mark using his production skills to trim and move a few things, then mix it. While we usually defer to Tez or Stephen for the mix, Mark did such a great job, we decided to keep his mix. Stephen did, however master and EQ it to make it a finished product. 
     This song was truly put together as a whole band effort, showcasing what the Eclectic Collective can do. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it.  

Original lyrics by Mistermark:  

The moon flickers on
and rises and dances
across a celestial stage
as dreamers paint the pixels of their mind 
like an infinite canvas 

Sleep away tiny egg
and leave a delicate thread 
of memory behind 
but never log out 
you are in the elaborate web
always

WILD SANCTUARY   
  
Softly now I'm passing by   
Your open doorway where you light tiny flames til the room's aglow   
  
Exactly where and when and what it needs to be  
Is this opportunity   
Without a window   
We have to guard it gently   
Gently gently gently  
  
Child of time   
You have no place to go   
But you move all the same   
  
We drew together while searching blind   
Through the corridors of time   
To reach the wild sanctuary   
The net's enormous, the holes they vary   
The net's enormous, the holes are few   
And hopefully we won't slip through   
We ride the rhythms of joy and pain  
Where they join they seem the same  
  
To reach the wild sanctuary   
Repair the lantern to light the night   
Where nothing is as devious as sight   
I know you've struggled child of time   
  
We drew together while searching blind   
A spot of blood, a mild surprise   
We rise by strength of will   
But still but still but still   
  
How beautifully the dark bird fares   
Wings as blades to carve the air   
In dreams we try to rise through water   
Try to run   
As the dead seem to return   
  
Create the world resembling you   
Create that world by slipping through   
Exactly where and when and what it needs to be   
Is this opportunity   
  
We grew apart and I faced my night   
Became aware of a tiny center of light   
Which swelled inside me unpleasantly   
Try to push it away with everything I had in me   
But it just kept growing   
Until of its intensity   
I cried out   
What is this pain   
I cried out   
Does it have a name   
And I answered me   
You're aware that you're living   
You're aware that you're living   
  
You're aware that you're living now   
You're aware that you're moving now   
You're aware of the change of tone   
You're aware that you move alone   
  
Softly now I'm passing by   
Your open doorway where you light tiny flames till the room's aglow   
Without a window

AVANT GARDE | GUTTER PROG | GARAGE JAZZ

Some of our art is made on computers, some of it is made by hand. We are particularly interested in that gray area in between where you cant really tell. All of what we create here is one work laid out in segments, all connected. The Mystic Tape Deck universe is vast and explores all manner of adding meaning to our lives, while pondering meaninglessness.

Please consider supporting our project and helping us complete the work. We make books and cds that go with them. We also have a graphic novel and a custom oracle deck in the works. All part of the story.

Greetings to you: readers, beaders, seekers, wanderers, wonderers, outsiders, rebels, fantasy gamers, freaks, mythologists, philosophers, appreciators, creators, perpetuators of beauty, coveters of mysterious objects, collectors of counter culture, the curious, the questioners, the unusual, the unique, the star children, the light workers, shadow integrators, diviners, alchemists, hermits, monks and popes, the saviors and prophets, the builders and destroyers of worlds, the old ones, the young ones, the rollers of boulders, the sun orbiters, the morning star dewdrops and twinkle toed dreamers of dreams, you mystic shining beacons, you crossers and denizens of the void, reality shapers, universe makers and underworld freaks.

"A prominent feature of avant-garde music is to break through various rules and regulations of traditional culture, in order to transcend established creative principles and appreciation habits. Avant-garde music pursues novelty in musical form and style, insisting that art is above everything else; thus, it creates a transcendental and mysterious sound world. Hint, metaphor, symbol, association, imagery, synesthesia and perception are widely used in avant-garde music techniques to excavate the mystery of human heart and the flow of consciousness, so that many seemingly unrelated but essentially very important events interweave into multi-level structures and forms."
