Love the answer tones on the descending part of the toy piano part, especially!

@shoot-the-wendy-bird Hey, Buddy! I know you entertained a small 'penchant' for this tune 5 years ago, and thought I'd let you hear my new friend and his spectral clock remix. I love it, and he has an upcoming video show about it on YouTube. Hope you are well!

Love what you did, and appreciate the long ending, too. The music and soundeffects you added are fun.

See. I'm convinced everything is better with clock sounds in it. Haha. :D

Adds such a wonderful pacing to the whole thing. Very cool, Craig. :)

Really artistic and creative work! You make me happy!

Clever synthesizer build up throughout the song, at parts haunting and atmospheric, and other parts having fun with melodic progressions and of course the chimes.

superb mix of sounds, very exciting and very cool!!

addictive melodies and percussive elements, so good!

Fragile Dream

A song about the agony that is flat-hunting in London during the cost of living crisis. Apologies for the swearing and the ropey concertina-playing - just starting to get the hang of it these days but wanted to get a demo down for this week's @themusicollective 's playlist!

Lyrics:

Verse 1 
Stare at the screen, think this one’s nice but the price is obscene 
again, each time you see the end of the search, it’s getting urgent, 
and absurd, an endless test of the nerves to spend your life just 
scrolling, wishing hoping, nope it’s taken, take a break and a 
breath, I feel this will be the death of me, and I dive in again, wanna 
bang my head on the keyboard, restart and pretend I 
Believe I just need to keep repeating the same ordeal
Another day, another night, (guess) that’s the price of a

Chorus
Life in London we pay every day, my friend, over and over again

Verse 2
Maybe my standards are too high and I should be satis-
fied with a bed in the kitchen in front of the fridge, am I rich enough to af- 
Ford a place with an oven, can   I just shove all my stuff in a corner cos 
there’s no wardrobe, nowhere to wash clothes but the sink I’m on the brink of 
Despair, there’s mould in the air (and) on the ceiling, no heating, I’m feeling defeated 
Over a grant and a bit for this shit, what the fuck, but the clock is ticking, the
Agent’s a dick, I’m sick enough of it to finally quit and decide to
Throw my money at somewhere nice and that’s the price of a 

Chorus		   
Life in London we pay every day, my friend, over and over again, that’s the price of a 
Life in London we pay every day, my friend, over and over again
Over and over again
Over and over again.

Composition – The Eclectic Collective

 This song began with a bass part that Jeff came up with and shared with Stephen, who had added some fiery guitar and foundational rhythm guitar to it. However, it languished on his digital shelf for many months as two parts, until he recently remembered that he had it. So, he decided to share it with the rest of the group. We were salivating, all of us, when we heard Jeff's bass line, so we began with Ken laying in the groovy drums and the tight, driving percussion, which propels the entire song. Once we had a beat, we decided to edit the part to include the break you hear about a minute into it. Mark took on that task, and deftly added the bass in that section, too. 
  Josh was up next, and decided to add a rhythm guitar inspired by Talking Heads. Once he had done that, he started hearing a simple, catchy melody in the main verse part, too, so he came up with some simple lyrics and recorded the vocals for that. At the same time this was happening, Ken also came up with some lyrics and a vocal melody for the breakdown part, which he added. After Ken had added his vocals, Josh added a harmony part on them. He also added the lap slide melody you hear in that section, as well. 
  JJ was next up to bat, laying in the breathtaking organ throughout. He also backdropped a canvas of synthesizer throughout and put in some electric piano too. Tez came along not long after and added the ripping guitar solo in the jam section. Once everyone had added their parts, it was up to Stephen to produce, mix, and master it. He arranged and added some length to it, then mixed it in his usual expert manner.
  This is the first song the Eclectic Collective has done with Jeff, though Stephen has worked with him in the past, and we were all fans of his music, and thus very excited for the chance to make music with him. Hopefully, this will be the first of many.
  We all hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it. If you comment, please share, too. 

Original lyrics by Josh Clary:
The trees talk to each other
They send messages through the breeze
There's magic all around us
If we look for it, we can see
 
Original lyrics by K2 and the Three:
Hey, how you feeling about love and lust
Hey how you dealing with all the lies you trust
We're here to be clear
Not a walk in the dark

A little woweluja
Little halleluja

I'm loading my laser gun
Aiming at you, cos there's no time to run
Now I got you my sight
It's time for you feel my might

Chorus

Picture me I'm dressed to kill
I even give myself a thrill
don't resist, soon you'll adore me
Amuse myself, until you bore me

Adjusting my power from 1 to 11
Megawatt smile to take you to heaven 
Pulled into an orbit, a shinning star 
Try to escape you'll not get far

Repeat Chorus

Over to you Capt. Aquatic A.K.A. CKP!

My laser's set on stunning 
My tractor beams got you running 
To my rocket ship of loving 
Sonically I got you coming (danger crash zone!)
Around and around and around and around 
Call me the banshee of getting down 
My X-factor makes me fantastic 
The Nightcrawler who is charismatic 
If you prefer we can get aquatic 
The motion of the ocean is hypnotic
Go down in my submarine Explore what's deep and in between 
I'm The King

Picture me I'm dressed to kill
I even give myself a thrill
My gun will fill you with delight
But please don't ask to stay the night 

Space jam time, light the joss sticks :-)

Lyrics:

The Skeleton 
she rests upon 
the bloods Lagoon
Here eyes are waves of dust
blink Sea faring moods
Sits thin among the
wind as it causes her bones to groove like sand...
blows her down the thirsty stream
the arrowheads of ancestors
gleam 
in the slivered 
moons faint steaming
the rain in outer space
burns up bits of her marrow
she bandages with rocks 
along the trails of gypsum guarded by sparrows
her heart it beats it bleeds on
through her timid ribs
you can see the valves
like locamotives trying to
hold onto blood shes got no skin
to keep it all in
if the wind dies down it'll all fall out
for the breeze is holding her into a piece

Closer - Neons Gone Mad Clockwork Remix

POP | SPACEROCK | VAPORTRAP | TRIP-HOP
AMBIENT | EXPERIMENTAL

the PERSON, the SOUND : Since 1985, Philadelphia-born Michael has composed and released hundreds of audio recordings, and published dozens of [erotic] poems.

His 'sonic-sojourn' began suddenly when he was just a teen -- feet splashing rhythmically through puddles leftover by a seaside rainstorm. Having just parted ways with the then-love-of-his-life, Michael composed his first ballad [and first song] ever -- "Tina." He rushed to his beach-side home to record his visceral 'awakening' on a tiny micro-cassette recorder, and vowed -- from that day on -- to create art for the rest of his life.

He began zealously amassing used music equipment, and had built a modest home recording studio by age seventeen, all the while crafting simple pop, ambient, and experimental works that HE had wanted to listen to -- that HE had wanted to hear, affectionately emulating the works of his then-idols, Duran Duran and Brian Eno.

Now, decades later, he has relocated to a small village outside Atlanta, Georgia, and continues to voraciously attend to his dream as a young, heartbroken boy -- to create and release music that he, himself, wants to hear.

Although no longer sequestered to pop and ambient musics, Michael's signature sound has merged the two, having integrated the R&B, hiphop, and psychedelia he has grown to love as a older gent -- having absorbed the edgy rhythms and dreamy soul of the southern United States (Atlanta and Miami).

Michael still puts forth ample amounts af ambient musics, but his recent 'sound' hovers elsewhere -- somewhere amidst the genres of vaportrap, spacerock, and trip-hop.
