I have added some guitar layers and I am experimenting with the mix. Hope you like the chaos of this mix. 

I will continue to refine this track.

Please feel free to leave a comment as I really appreciate your feedback.

Pathways (Chaotic Neutral Mix )

Composer/Songwriter. Proficient performer of piano, bass guitar, double bass, cello, 6 string , 12 string , drums, triangle (shall I include tambourine too?🤣), vocals, lyrics. 99% of the tracks on this page are original songs. None of my performances on any of my tracks, whether solo work, or collaboration, have any editing whatsoever. Effects and equalization? Of course! But no editing, no software, etc. Quite a substantial amount of these tracks are with The Eclectic Collective. We are like family and have been playing together on a daily basis since approximately March of 2022 as the Eclectic Collective. Before the band bore it's name Eclectic Collective; Josh, Ken, Stephen, Tez, and  CG Maness were doing some occasional collabs. At any given time we are all simultaneously working on about 15 different songs. And when we feel they are done cooking in the oven we release them.  We release a song every week on Fridays at 4AM UTC

Members of The Eclectic Collective :

 Good news 🌙 Yesterday I finally started creating something that feels right. It still needs a bit more time and love, but it’s heading in a beautiful direction. Once I get two more free days to work on it, I’ll share a little preview with you all.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

I’ve been learning to find peace in the simple things, in the gentle rhythm of life as it unfolds. Even when music isn’t leading the way, I feel gratitude for everything I’ve created and for the journey that’s shaped me. I know what I carry within, and I trust that what I’ve shared will echo long after I’m gone. Change no longer scares me. I welcome it with calm faith, knowing that everything unfolds as it should and that something greater is guiding every step. 🌿

“Returning to the source is stillness,
which is the way of nature.
The way of nature is unchanging,
and knowing constancy is insight.
Not knowing constancy leads to disaster.
Knowing constancy, the mind is open.
With an open mind, you will be open-hearted.
Being open-hearted, you will act royally.
Being royal, you will attain the divine.
Being divine, you will be at one with the Tao.
Being at one with the Tao is eternal,
and though the body dies, the Tao will never pass away." ‐Lao Tzu

✨ I came across this piece from Sinners again, and it reminded me of the power music has to heal and awaken something deeper in us.
Sharing it with you all because music is more than sound 》》》it’s medicine for the soul.

My music is born from struggle, discovery, and transformation. It has been my torch through the darkest nights, guiding me toward light when all seemed lost. Every note carries a piece of my journey: pain, resilience, and the spark of hope that refused to die.

Music saved me, and through it I found a way to connect with others in moments where words were not enough. These compositions are more than sounds, they are vessels of emotion, meant to reach the hidden places of the soul and remind the lost that light still waits beyond the shadows.

If my work can touch even one heart, lifting it from despair into wonder, then it fulfills its purpose.

Emerging from the quiet edges of rural Louisiana, Poppa (aka Rivers) crafts soundscapes that live between worlds — where Primitive Ambient textures meet Lo-fi Soul, Indie grit, and Experimental pulse. Drawing on a wide emotional spectrum, Poppa’s music blends dusty analog warmth with glitchy digital haze, channeling the raw spirit of Jazzy Blues, Electronic minimalism, and Art Rock storytelling.

Each track feels like a sonic diary entry — vulnerable, spacious, and unpredictable. With a DIY ethos and genre-blurring instincts, Poppa creates music for deep nights, wandering minds, and anyone searching for meaning in distortion.

Whether floating through ambient dreamscapes or crackling over lo-fi rhythms, Poppa’s sound resists easy classification — but resonates with listeners craving truth, texture, soul & noise.

Just messing around learning, experimenting, playing and expressing myself. My little collection of demos, songs, experiments and instrumentals. I hope you enjoy them. I'm a guitarist / Vocalist / Producer and enjoy learning to express my moods, emotions, dreams and thoughts as I go.

Thank you all for the likes comments and reposts.

I have added a support link as I am struggling to keep up my subscriptions here currently and it would help me keep on creating and posting more songs. Thank you if you read this far lol.

My music has cinematic angles, classical influences, often strong melodies and ambient soundscapes. Piano is my main instrument, which I've been playing for decades now. Lately I'm more into composing music for listening and experimenting with sound, harmonies, rhythm, emotion and space. Follow me on spotify for that. My commercial music is used in video, broadcasting, TV/Radio, for media campaigns, film, advertising, documentaries, websites and probably for lots more I'm not aware of... This music is produced under various names. Most of the music is available with a royalty free license and you can purchase it in High Quality Audio format on several marketplaces and my own website(see the links). I'm working on getting the piano pieces available on sheet music. You can buy them at my website.
Thanks for listening, commenting, liking, purchasing or sharing !!  
Send me an email for a special music request.

I'm glad you found my music.
I've always wanted to express the music deep in my heart.
My music is music that overflows from the album jacket.
My music will light up a projector of your memories.
It's like finding your old album!
And above all, I hope I can make you all happy.
