In the Stillness

Sunburst

The time of the pandemic was marked by countless endless, solitary wanderings through nature. This is captured in this piece for piano and bassoon: as footsteps move steadily through deep snow, memories drift past the mind’s eye— silent, fleeting, and profound.

Pandemic Suite – 09. Lonely Walk

In the previous version (https://soundcloud.com/michele-ansani/gamma-o) there was excessive sound saturation. I kept only the vocal part (remixed) and redid the piano backing, aiming for a more minimalist result.

I think a good English translation of the original lyrics isn’t easy, but I’ll give it a try.

Lyrics [ENG / ITA]

And so we go on
along these parallel routes,
we’ll go farther
without ever moving forward,
for how much longer 
will you walk with me?

And so we sink
into this whirl of sensations,
and over us, you’ll see, 
the water will close again,
for as long as
it will still be enough for us?

And we stay like this
we’ll be fine together,
we’re already far away 
without ever having left

["Willkommen in Düsseldorf, meine Damen und Herren. 
Nach 11 Stunden und 59 Minuten sicher gelandet"].

-----

E proseguiamo così
su queste rotte parallele
andremo più lontano
senza avanzare mai
per quanto ancora
mi accompagnerai?

ed affondiamo così
in questo vortice di sensazioni
e su di noi vedrai l'acqua si richiuderà
per quanto ancora ci basterà

e rimaniamo così
staremo bene insieme
noi siamo già lontani
senza essere partiti mai

["Willkommen in Düsseldorf, meine Damen und Herren. 
Nach 11 Stunden und 59 Minuten sicher gelandet"].

That is the original version by The Moody Blues... If you don't know the song... Meet a song that people will still listen to in millions of years. It's amazing the Moody Blues original!


Man this song has dug in deep for me. I'd say it was possibly the third song I learned on guitar. Polly by Nirvana, Stairway to Heaven by Led Zepp and then I probably played this one more then any for a few years. I remember watching my Uncle Liam who just left us, RIP buddy... playing it when I was a teenager and I was in awe. He was such an amazing performer and his playing is possibly the single most important real that made me lean to song writing as opposed to becoming a technically great musician.

This is for you Liam, the Ovation is in, we both played this song more times on that guitar then we could count... The guitar travelled with both of us around Europe years apart (although I only made France and Holland with it 😆🤷🏽). Ovy is now 42! I wouldn't be what I am today without you man. Love ya forever and thanks for teaching me

Lyrics (Written by Justin Hayward)

Nights in white satin
Never reaching the end
Letters I've written
Never meaning to send
Beauty I'd always missed
With these eyes before
Just what the truth is
I can't say anymore

'Cause I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, how I love you

Gazing at people
Some hand in hand
Just what I'm going through
They can't understand
Some try to tell me
Thoughts they cannot defend
Just what you want to be
You will be in the end

And I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, how I love you
Oh, how I love you

Nights in white satin
Never reaching the end
Letters I've written
Never meaning to send
Beauty I've always missed
With these eyes before
Just what the truth is
I can't say anymore

'Cause I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, how I love you
Oh, how I love you
'Cause I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, how I love you
Oh, how I love you

Attentive

Cast of characters:

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick fretless four string bass, Collings mandolin, Rogue banjo, Roland electric piano, and composition

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

Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender Stratocaster electric guitar

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– Tom Anderson custom T model electric guitar, Taylor T5z acoustic guitar, production, mix, and mastering

This song began with Josh coming up with it on his electric piano and fretless bass, to which he added some banjo, then mandolin. Once he had a solid basis for the song, he shared it with the rest of Eclectic Collective for them to add their parts. 

  Ken was first up, adding his drums in an such a creative way that matched Josh's bassline perfectly. It was originally recorded to a looper disco beat, but that was blown out of the water by Ken's creative drumming. Tez jumped in next, adding his thrilling guitar to the second half of the song. Not to be outdone, Stephen batted clean up, adding his textural and melodic guitar to the first half. He also added some subtle, but brilliant acoustic guitar to the first half, too. 

  This is a great example of Eclectic Collective coming up with an original band sound out of one of Josh's seeds. We're always pushing boundaries and trying to find fun and exciting ways to build a song. Lots of teamwork in here, too, of course. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.


The Plot Thickens -(Eclectic Collective)

Nuance is a collection of songs that weave together a story through the ebb and flow of life. The name came to me during a burst of inspiration—“Nuance” just felt right. Life, art, and music are all rich with subtle shades of meaning. They’re full of contrast, like yin and yang.
The album opens with a burst of high energy and gradually winds down into an almost meditative state. It journeys through different musical styles and explores a range of topics, reflecting a time in my life marked by intense experiences. Themes of love, struggles, healing, and transformation echo throughout—paired with a deep yearning for inner strength, peace, and unity. At its core, this album is a heartfelt expression of my passion for creating music.

Evolving Serenity

-I'm actually really happy with this piece. It came together with a simple beat and wrote itself in front of me after that. I wove in some Dance of Wanderers cues for good measure, just to feel like I was doing something!

-Cover of "Kokiri Forest" and "Korok Forest" from Ocarina of Time and Breath of the Wild, originally composed by Koji Kondo, Manaka Kataoka, Yasuaki Iwata, and Hajime Wakai.
