he told me bout the trail in the tunnel
that I'm walking while
I'm thinking other people's thoughts
little voices
like your father's father's father's
farther than the others
all combined and confined to a tunnel of your thinkin
turn that little voice off in your head
he said


you may find it advantageous
in the long run
there's an exit but you gotta take it
while riding on the boxcars full of other people's junk
pulled by trains of thought
on shaky rails

Quelenis is a musical journey through a moment of choice. At the heart of the piece lies a crossroads: one path is endless and mechanical, silent yet inevitable, embodying reason and structure. The other is a human, shadowed path—unpredictable, raw, and filled with emotion and desire.

True to Olttaoff’s signature exploration of duality in sound, Quelenis weaves IDM’s intricate beats along the path of the infinite, while the improvisational spirit of Jazz illuminates the dark, human side. The intertwining of these sonic worlds creates a labyrinth that challenges the listener, pulling them between logic and instinct, certainty and chaos.

In a world of diverging paths, which will you choose? Quelenis offers an immersive experience of choice and the depths of sound itself.

This song began at the end of last summer, August of '24, when Tez sat down and composed it on his guitar. He shared it with us right away, and while everyone jumped on it immediately, it sat on the shelf for so long because we all felt we needed a singer for it. Fast forward a year, and lo and behold, we picked up Carl, who is down for whatever vocals a song needs. 
  We began construction on this by creating the rhythm section. Ken first adding his explosive drums, followed by Josh completing the rhythm section with his four string, fretted bass, which he used a plectrum to play.  JJ entered the fray next, adding his otherworldly synth and thickening organ. 
  Then it sat. And sat. And sat some more, until Carl found us, or we found him, and he was finally able to add the missing puzzle piece. He also did something that none of us had ever heard before. He added the whistling at the end, too. But before we put it to bed, Stephen added some thrilling solo work with his axe, too, also towards the end. 
  Now that it was a completed song, we asked Stephen to mix it, even though it's really Tez's song, and that honor would usually go to him. However Tez was experiencing some technical difficulty, so the honor went to Stephen, who did his always professional production work on it. 
  This is a straight rocker from Eclectic Collective, being in all of our wheelhouses. This one was all made in house, too, so it's a great representation of our rocking skills as a band. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it. 

Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark:

Curing core
Great lucid lore
Ore of iron dreaming
Alluring more
Grace lucid door
Assuring new real scening

Iron dreaming
Earth's core revealing

Tick tock that hope
Dream that design
Tick tock that goal
Aspiration in mind
Love locked to luscious
Living for time
New rules got rhyme
The future is fine

Iron dreaming
Earths core revealing

We need not fists
We need no guns
Just words and wits
Dreams for daughters and sons
You get the jist
A felt future is on
We'll clear the mist
Open those fists
It's a hug and a handshake
Then let's all move on

Second Part

This work that features Italian Soprano Silvia Pepe explores the possibility of a revolution, a Revolution of the Mind.  Is it possible to still have a truly independent thought in this era that is dominated by the Information Society who attempts to manipulate the minds of the people and control the narrative by spreading false, deceptive and misleading information.   

Silvia Pepe sings lines from Puccini's Tosca "e avanti a lui tremava tutta Roma."  and "io quella lama gli piantai nel cor".    Translated "and all of Rome trembled before him."  and " I planted that blade in his heart".

Huge thanks to Mat @no-mates-ensemble for letting me remix his track https://soundcloud.com/no-mates-ensemble/tuscany-experiments-whistling-with-the-dogs-of-mount-amiata
The artwork is also his... All of the sounds except for drums and bass are original and in a few cases manipulated... I dig how Mat pushes the envelope with his journeys into sound

I love it since it let me use patch cables the way I'm used to.

Arturia V-collection, https://www.arturia.com, let me play with synths I couldn't afford back in the days.

Full Bucket, https://www.fullbucket.de, make some fantastic VST soft-synths that I love. He has an impressive setup of Korg clones that I recommend. Try FB-3300, the best synth Korg has ever made.

Cherry Audio, https://cherryaudio.com, is another source of old synth clones that sound fantastic. Good price and wonderful sound.
