Cast of Characters:
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender Stratocaster electric guitar and composition
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Fender Precision Bass

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 wist
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

Escape from rabbit hole

“Fade” by Zemandan drifts through the space between memory and loss. A slow-sad electronica piece where melancholy meets bassy warmth.
A remembering of a departed friend in fragments: flashes of laughter, shadows of moments, the quiet nods of agreement.
Intimate, emotional, and timeless.

A song for memories that never truly fade.

Elegy for a Vanished Audience

A bit late for the end of summer, but I hope you enjoy this melancholic atmosphere.

This is a song I started composing in August 2024, with the idea of ​​featuring a real guitar solo, especially at the end. This summer, I approached Chris Grant @chris-grant-554540731 about joining the project. He loved the idea, and what I've included here is the result of that collaboration. His solo made a huge impression on me, and I'd like to thank him for his fantastic contribution. Without that guitar, this song wouldn't exist! Thank you so much, Chris!

Lyrics:
We will be different like all the rest
A body to call my own
Nothing belongs, there is no property
Coming and going alone

We were supposed to be - Animal life
They all look like me - Animal life
The motion of thought is most similar
stimulant
Time and clothes are a construct
simulant

Water springs from the ground
We all find it, we all drink of it
We all taste it, pass the cup around

Someone passed through the backyard
Someone unknown
With heavy culture
With no home
Nothing belongs, there is no property
Coming or going weeakly aloane

Fruit on the branches - Animal life
Taking no chances - Animal life
The last story to be passed down
was forgotten, it stopped being said
Life springs all around, Death of the dead

Animal Life

“Native Inversion” is a striking descent into rhythm and reflection — a track that bends structure, emotion, and expectation into something deeply immersive. It’s one of those songs that doesn’t just play; it shifts the atmosphere around you.

The opening sets a meditative tone: distant pads, fractured percussion, and a pulse that feels organic — like it’s breathing rather than beating. As the layers unfold, the sound design becomes more intricate, weaving analog warmth with digital precision. True to its title, “Native Inversion” plays with reversal — melodies flip, patterns dissolve, and the rhythm seems to turn itself inside out, creating a hypnotic sense of motion and disorientation.

There’s a deep emotional current running beneath the technical mastery. The track feels like a journey inward — an exploration of duality, balance, and identity through sound. The use of contrast is beautiful: light and dark tones trade places, soft textures meet sharp edges, and stillness collides with drive.

By the end, everything resolves into a haunting calm — the chaos folding into silence, leaving a lingering sense of transformation.

“Native Inversion” is a masterclass in controlled evolution — cerebral yet soulful, mechanical yet human. It’s experimental and introspective, turning sound into a mirror that reflects both tension and release.

If you use AI in any form to create "your music", don't bother with my profile, you are not welcome here.

I do not support the use of generative AI in music creation. I will not support people who use such technologies nor will I use them. The two songs I posted only serve to raise awareness of the existence of such technologies and as a warning.

At the beginning I would like to sincerely apologize that I am responding to comments late and I am sometimes unable to keep up with listening to your work, but I still work full-time in a profession that has absolutely nothing to do with music and I have my duties towards family and home.

To everyone who flew into my corner on SoundCloud: I am grateful for your support with likes, shares and thank you for the great comments. Please don't hesitate to suggest changes to my music in them. Thanks to this, the next songs will be better and better.

All my music is MIDI (except some drum loops), played/created by me and edited in Ableton Live.
