LYRICS by J.J.  

We have lost ourselves
Breathe, ever deeply
Believe you've got this now
Heaven bound, yes thankfully

All my life
Happiness has existed somewhere else
Finding out that it was always near me
In the heart's watch - the time, it tells

Ooooohh
One leg in yesterday
One leg in tomorrow

I have found myself
Thinking that life could be so much more
And only if the stars were aligned
Just so

Chasing a carrot on a stick
Catching it - there isn't any hope
Why can't I just look inside of me
Happiness is not a place, it's a choice!

ooooooohs
One leg in yesterday
One leg in tomorrow
Pissing all over today!!

This is the latest in our series of songs Carl has written about us. Being as both Tez, a lifelong, and to a lesser degree, Carl are Manchester United fans, Carl siezed on the opportunity to celebrate their shared fandom. Although the lyrics are a little inscrutable to us Americans, we love that football (soccer) fans from across the pond will know exactly what he's talking about. 
  Carl wrote this song on his acoustic guitar, and upon sharing it with us, we weren't sure as to the direction we wanted to take it. JJ threw down first, adding his good-time-sounding upright piano and strikingly beautiful organ to the mix first. He also added the subtle human voice choral synth you hear throughout. Enchanted with Carl's composition, Josh next added his bass and mandolin both in the same recording session, without even closing his DAW. Mark was in right after, adding his friendly fiddle solo as well as fiddle fills throughout. Being as the song is about him, Tez came along shortly after and added the tuneful intro and outro on his guitar. Then, as it was just about to sit for a while, Ken added his very tasteful, perfect drums to the mix, thus completing the rhythm section. 
  Before we put a bow on it, though, Stephen made it back from his week in the Colorado wilderness in time to add his magical banjo to the mix. Speaking of mixes, now it was time for one, and we turned it over to him, our in house pro, to do the honors.
  We all really enjoyed working on this one. It is an example of Eclectic Collective taking one of Carls songs and having our way with it. Always a team effort getting it over the line, but we always manage to do it. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark:

Division Two Champs, '75
Small consolation for '74 cries
Fan wow land psyched
True Red Devil in this life

We fell to Leeds
Last Division 1
We had the Irish
Man, I followed them
McGrath didn't train
A different breed
Golden era
Boozed up greats as seed

Then, we mostly won
But still, these moments to memories shone
Keane's end at Juventus
His team's power won
Beast perseverance
2-3 semi so they march on

Teddy & Ole
Broken Bayern lines
Videos with no YouTube
In sport mad mind

Great from great, Cantona
Flying curve ball martial artist
Old Leeds leech
A la French finest

Man Utd before Glazier fud
Old Trafford dreams
Red Devil blood
A fan forever no matter loss
Good grinding Fergie
Our hairdryer boss

True Red Devil
Hughesy's volleys
Arsenal disheveled
Good Giggsy speed
End to end
Back of the net
Great teen we get
Front of our dreams

True Red Devil
Scars from Aguero
And Barce's better
New cycles please
We've been Malcolmed
Bought like shop
These greedy Glaziers fucking up
Our theatre of dreams

If only for Fergie time
We'd be doing just fine

Stick It Up Yours

My sister Cindy wanted me to write music for her. It is becoming increasingly hard to play and that makes me sad.  I have lay so far back in my powerchair that I can't see the controls. I can't tolerate sitting up, it's too hard to breathe. Some days I can't even get out of bed.

My son attached a projector to my computer so my screen is now 6'x4', and I have a small keyboard I hold in my hand. So I try to keep up, but it takes much longer to do anything. ALS is not easy to deal with. It's important to stay positive and make good use of the time I have left.

Something To Remember Me

I have the honour to post this piece with the added cello part by my good friend Michael Hanrahan, I'm very grateful to him to have this created for me...
I hope you have pleasure in listening as much as I have writing it...

Cast of Characters:
Single Use & Recycled -- @user-995867230 -- Bill — acousitc rhythm and lead guitar and composition
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick fretless four-string bass
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums and percussion
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – synth strings
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen — acoustic rhythm guitar, production, mix, and mastering
The Beautiful Dark -- @thebeautifuldark -- Carl — vocals and lyrics

This song started as an idea Bill came up with on his acoustic guitar. Having found each other on the Cloud and enjoying each other's music, Josh and Bill decided to do a collab. Bill is a real deal guitarist, who's as prolific as he is skilled. Of course, Josh invited Eclectic Collective to the party, too.
  Shortly after doing so, he laid down a bass part to Bill's skeleton withi his four string fretless bass. Ken followed suit, and after a back and forth, completed the rhythms secion. JJ dug in next, adding the thrilling strings that highlight the high points of the melody. 
  There wasn't a whole lot of room for everyone on this, though, as Bill had the guitar parts nailed down tight. However, after sitting on the shelf for about half a year, Carl came along and added the missing piece with his raucuos vocals. Stephen also fattened up the sound a bit with his acoustic rhythm guitar.  
  Once it was in the can, we asked Stephen to work his production, mix, and mastering magic on it, too, which he came through with, as always.
  This brilliant song almost didn't see the light of day. It sat for what felt like forever, until we decided to revive it. This will not be the last collab we do with Bill, though, who was generous in not only sharing his music with us, but allowing us to do whatever we wanted with it, too. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.  

Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark:

Shifty shire
Ah, redistrict rot
Dividing a country for power by plot
Gerry's meandering
Not thinking of sane
What colourful friends can stop red rain?

With freedom waning
Conversation is paused
A few rich men failing
With solidarity cause
Shift the shire!
At minority we've baulked
That mind inconvenient
New red lines are chalked

State turf wars are on
Ah, redistrict rot
Dividing a country for power by plot
For the rights of the white man
We missing those slaves
So legislate oppression
That skin 'aint red way

aeolian meditation

Rocktober day and track 27.
Finally some oldschool synth, phew. Last year I had a few more and after that, I hardly made something like this. I was afraid I lost "it" ...... but no, I am very pleased with this one!!

"Somewhere between circuit and soul, the giants move on.
Their steps echo through analog skies — slow, luminous, unending."
Inspired by the vast calm of the 1980s imaginary future.

I looked at the sky tonight and was thinking, am I seeing stars or satellites? What are these "tech giants" actually? What is nature? Isn't everything eventually "nature"? Why doesn't it feel like it yet and why do I feel excited and anxious at the same time?

27 Giants

Qualia [singular qualia; from Latin qualis = of what kind], subjective properties perceived independently of the associated object; first-order phenomenal properties (see below). In the philosophy of mind, qualia are the classic examples of the (phenomenological) characteristics of conscious experience that are accessible from an internal perspective. Simple sensory sensations such as the visual quality of “scarlet” in a conscious color experience (color perception) or the olfactory quality of “musk” in an olfactory experience (sense of smell), but also bodily sensations and emotions are examples of such phenomenal properties. Because such properties have no internal structure according to experience and are not the result of a process of abstraction, they form, in a sense, the most concrete, basic building blocks of consciousness and are therefore first-order properties (order). Furthermore, according to many philosophers, they resist reductionist analysis (reductionism) because they form the intrinsic core of an experience; which cannot be conceptually reduced to relationships between elements of deeper levels of description (such as neuroscientific or functional ones). A multitude of variants of classic thought experiments attempt to show that any statement, however rich, about the physical or functional organization of a being with qualitative states  is always compatible with the assumption that the conscious experience of this being does not generate any phenomenal properties, or only radically different ones. Qualia are also difficult to grasp linguistically (one cannot explain to a person born blind what “scarlet red” means) and, as private properties, are subject to epistemic asymmetry (they are non-public properties insofar as they are only accessible to the experiencing subject itself). A number of authors therefore dispute the existence of qualia altogether. Emergentism, mind-body problem, neurophilosophy, perspectivity.

Qualia [Einzahl Quale; von latein. qualis = wie beschaffen], subjektiv und unabhängig von dem zugehörigen Objekt wahrgenommene Eigenschaften; phänomenale Eigenschaften erster Ordnung (s.u.). In der Philosophie des Geistes bilden Qualia die klassischen Beispiele für die aus der Innenperspektive zugänglichen (phänomenologischen) Merkmale des bewußten Erlebens. Einfache sensorische Empfindungen wie die visuelle Qualität von "Scharlachrot" in einem bewußten Farberlebnis (Farbwahrnehmung) oder die olfaktorische Qualität von "Moschus" in einem Geruchserlebnis (Geruchssinn), aber auch Körperempfindungen und Emotionen sind Beispiele für solche phänomenalen Eigenschaften. Weil solche Eigenschaften dem Erleben nach keine innere Struktur besitzen und nicht das Ergebnis eines Abstraktionsvorgangs sind, bilden sie die gewissermaßen maximal konkreten, basalen Grundbausteine des Bewußtseins und sind daher Eigenschaften erster Stufe (Ordnung). Außerdem widersetzen sie sich nach Auffassung vieler Philosophen einer reduktionistischen Analyse (Reduktionismus), weil sie den intrinsischenKern eines Erlebnisses bilden; dieser läßt sich begrifflich nicht auf Beziehungen zwischen Elementen tieferliegender Beschreibungsebenen (etwa neurowissenschaftlicher oder funktionaler Art) zurückführen. .....
