'shit at and hit'
Thanks to grandma Billie for the phrase. A wonderful woman. I've yet to hear of this phrase existing prior, nor of it from anyone else since.
Scotty: Two yamaha storia II takes through a fender mustang III amp with differing fx, channeled accordingly, maybe, hopefully, and a handful of vocal takes layered. 

I can't get up today.
I've got no words to say.
Everything always replays,
and causes me dismay. 

I feel like I've been shot at and missed, and shit at and fucking hit. 

If there is a god,
why the fuck would they
make us in the mould
to have to feel this way?
Everyday.

shit at and hit

dedicated to my extraordinary former colleague Christopher Bartlo
(pictured) - a man of style and grace and pure brilliance
made with casio, zoom h1 and other mic, looper, stylophone, match
and the world turn yellow, orange and red i live is pain knowing a wind will come
and take it all away without my consent
one day
and i grieve even tho
i should rejoice

the beauty of autumn is painfully transitory

"Mountain Blues" is an original song about having the blues from wanting to be in the mountains, outdoors, and surrounded by nature. Wishing I was outside somewhere peaceful: camping, hiking, sitting on a big boulder, walking the shoreline of a lake, or standing under a waterfall. Not over-thinking life. Just breathing in the present.

This song is a raw/uncut and LIVE recording of me, my acoustic guitar and a Wohlman V93 handheld mic.

Special thanks to Hannah for inspiration!

"The Runes"

This collection takes the first movement of Moonlight Sonata and lets it speak through the voice of the oud. The aim is simple and honest. Keep the melody close, listen for the quiet between notes, and let a middle eastern color soften the light and deepen the shadow.

Each piece follows the same path but with a different step. Some linger in stillness. Others find a faint inner pulse. All return to a small hook that feels familiar yet new, like meeting an old friend at a different hour of the night.

It is not meant to replace the original. It is another way of hearing it. If a track keeps you company while you read, walk, or rest, then it has done its work. Enjoy.

A little acoustic piece I recorded on my father's first guitar - an over 50 year old rosewood guitar from brazil. 


Acoustic Piece I

A bit late for the end of summer, but I hope you enjoy this melancholic atmosphere.

This is a song I started composing in August 2024, with the idea of ​​featuring a real guitar solo, especially at the end. This summer, I approached Chris Grant @chris-grant-554540731 about joining the project. He loved the idea, and what I've included here is the result of that collaboration. His solo made a huge impression on me, and I'd like to thank him for his fantastic contribution. Without that guitar, this song wouldn't exist! Thank you so much, Chris!
If you want to listen to more of his amazing music, please visit his profile: @chris-grant-554540731!

I hope you enjoy his contribution and our song as a whole!

The Summer's End

Summer's End

Just a shitty little ditty for no reason whatsoever 

Well as soon as sight restores my eyes
I get out of the bed after several tries
A quick crack of the blind to check the skies 
I must be outta my mind , there’s never no surprise 
But I’m alive i suppose 
Although I thrive as a ghost 
I’m just surviving at most
Confusing highness with hope
But I ain’t claiming I’m broke
When every days the same joke
It’s just the way that I cope
Turning brain cells to smoke 


And now my bowels are made of paper towels and hatred for my sinning 
I’m quite upset I haven’t fixed them yet , but if that’s the price then im winning
And I’m willing to continue on
This thrilling search for better songs
Delivered in a natural style
That withered off there for a while
I’ll promise you I’ll never use
Computers to replace the muse 
I’ll never judge the folk that do 
But subterfuge is like super glue
It sticks like shit and makes a mess 
And never hits like Dylan’s best
This was supposed to be a protest song  
I don’t know where that bloody ghost came from 
It’s just another mostly hopeless one 
The kind that hits the Holy Ghost in one
And writ in shifts between the blunts and bongs
I’ll probably quit now that the goings gone

Shit guitar and pointless musings by me

His highness of hope

This cover of the CCR version of this Screaming Jay Hawkins classic began as an idea Josh had for Eclectic Collective putting on a musical Halloween costume. He was inspired by his favorite band, Phish, who cover an entire album every Halloween as a musical costume. Although, which song we covered was up for debate from the start. 
  Once we decided on a song, Josh laid down the skeleton for it on his '71 SG. Once we had a framework to work with, Ken laid down his rocking drums, followed by Josh completing the rhythm section by adding his trusty P-bass. Even though the song was now in its infancy, Carl summoned all his Halloween spirit for his dynamic vocal performance.  
  Now that it was sounding like a real song, JJ dropped both the key piano part, as well as his expressive organ in there, too. Mark wasn't far behind, adding his magic via the sax to the solo section, and strings in the third verse. Stephen came through with the spooky tremolo guitar and the fiery first half of the guitar solo in the solo section right after. And to put the cherry on the musical sundae, Tez brought the lightning down for the second half of the guitar solo, as well as the solo work that leads the whole way to the end.
  We all enjoyed bringing this classic song back to life, and doing it in the spirit of what may be the most fun holiday on the callendar. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it. Happy Halloween!
