A quick listen now as I’m caught for time but this is mesmerising, will be back for a deeper dive on the weekend. 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Very nice and harmonic sounds with atmospheric pads! Great work. Keep up!

great production perfect soundtrack/game music 

A bit oriental, beautiful sounds giving a nice rich and creative atmosphere, I love it! - ❤️Love, 🕊️Peace, 🙏Respect

reminds me of a gamelan space and home of dead can dance, mixed with Snowy Mountains and fires in the desert. ecstatic stars under which all beings sleep in awe and patterns.

Wonderful piece of music. Great instrumentation 👍👍👍

Great job sampling the world around you my man. The blend of percussive instruments with the brass added a level of pomp suitable for a sorceress queen. Cheers! 👍👍😎

Some great arrangements in this composition!Great track, great mix!

This is brilliant. All the melody lines works so well together and are very catchy. love the synth that comes in just after 2:00. Brass section at end is a very unusual choice but works so well

Spacious wavy instrumental aiming to invoke imagery of ancient worlds and dreamscapes filled with mythological wonder.

Regardless of whether that works for you, here it is.

Enjoy!


EDIT: the percussive elements, the 'bass' and the main melody are sampled from actual acoustic instruments that mostly serve a display function in my house, normally - but they are functional. The synth and brass are from a professional soundbank.

Here it is! A highlight reel of Eclectic Collective's greatest moments in the year 2023. This medley includes short interviews with group members, interspersed with their music. Special thanks to Jeff (StonerJazz) for hosting the Q&A, and to J.J. for assembling the medley. 

The Eclectic Collective (EC) is a very loose band of musicians who collaborate over the internet and communicate via email only. I'm honoured to have worked with the EC on a few songs, and look forward to playing with them again soon! Hope you enjoy listening!

A go at Pink Floyd's eternal favourite. Apologies to the afficionado's there is no guitar solo at the start; I tried one, but it didn't sound right.

Cast of Characters:
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell –electric piano, synth and original seed 
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–guitar, mix, and production
K2 and the Three [and the Four]-- @k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums
Llanpsych– @llanpsych –Tez– Guitar
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –five-string fretless bass guitar
The Eclectic Collective – composition

 This song began with JJ, as many of our songs do, who composed the outline on the keys, drums, and bass. He then let everyone else in on it immediately. Ken was first up to bat by laying his always cunning drums in there. After he had a beat to work with, Josh used his tree trunk of a five-string fretless bass to complete the rhythm section. Soon after, Tez and Stephen both laid their magical guitars in there. Once we had it all in the can, Stephen used his powers of production to give us a great mix.
  This one came together relatively quickly, which is a good sign that we're all enthusiastic about what we're creating. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.

Mellow Travels (The Eclectic Collective)

Thanks to those who listened to this track.
 I hope that your creation is far beyond me and that I can embrace a sense of well-being.
A light that cannot be seen and a signal that cannot be heard. It is as if we are always receiving some kind of message. Who is it? Is it the universe?
 If you are surrounded by that light, you must feel warm.
 Let's read the signs that are being delivered to you!

Lights of the Invisible Motion

method: first, I created a shaman-monk-version (mostly ‚Gregorian‘ voice and jaw harp) on cassette tape (this is where some of the noise - especially in the first section - derives from) and zoom r20 with a vacuum-tube pre-amp for the voice ….. all of which I then treated like a field recording sample in Samplitude - sculpting it with vst instruments and effects. 
narration: it feels like I have sonified this poem a million times before …. which might be the case because I have lived through it that often - I and others I dearly care for …. but then again … I might have actually done so. it is also part of the cycle SONIC CASCADE published in  A SINGLE LOOP OF FORTUNES. Alternative titles are ‚TWO-PLACE‘ and ‚04s SAMPLE‘. For this publication, I simplify the title to  ‚SAMPLE‘.

poem / copyright jo richter:

two-place sleeps on the ground
and still doesn‘t know where it is -
all of its strings sound sound
in heaven-hellish bliss -
nothing, it says, goes amiss
that doesn‘t want to be found
