i'm in a mossy cave with water dripping .. nice Rem :-)

Very cool track.  Both Mandolin and synths go well together.  Nice!

Fascinating journey! I’m impressed with the sound and atmosphere, man! Really spiritual experience 🍀

A very strange ambient... So peacefully. I love it

man you just keep blowing me away with the unique decisions you make on your stuff. So glad I know I have this spot I can swing by to be inspired.   :)

one of my faves of yours for sure. love the almost Arabic style synth chords, and I'm always a fan of interesting ways of achieving percussion.

Hey man, this is really magical. Love your instrumentation and performances on the string instruments. Awesome work with this one!

The anticipation - the standoff - the requiem 

A favorite movie of mine from my younger days is "The Good, The Bad & The Ugly" famously ending in a Mexican Standoff between Clint Eastwood, Eli Wallach and Lee Van Cleef. Directed by Sergio Leone with music by Ennio Morricone I recommend this spaghetti western to anybody who hasn't seen it.  On a whim I thought I would perform a musical reenactment, although in my version there are no survivors.

The experimental part of this has to do with the reverb on the drums in the "shootout" to simulate gunshots.

A Mexican standoff is a confrontation where no strategy exists that allows any party to achieve victory. Any party initiating aggression might trigger everyone's demise. At the same time, the parties are unable to extract themselves from the situation without suffering a loss. [Wikipedia]

Mexican Standoff

JaMuary 24- the aim to create a piece of music (no matter how short or incomplete it is) for as many days as I can during the month.

Most Jamuarys are incomplete or just the start of an idea so I upload them as private here but they are public on my other Soundcloud page  https://soundcloud.com/trevbushell and Ive put them in a playlist you can find here https://on.soundcloud.com/QUFqo :) 

Today's one (3rd January) was mostly finished in one day.... I got a bit immersed in it ( phew!)! My learning aim for this piece was using distortion ( you van hear it in the lead melodies. crackling away and creating ambience

Real Good trouble

Massive thanks to Magic Mike Fox  for his musicianship, producing, production and most of all just for being a top bloke.
And Nat Daniels for her massive contribution with her incredible vocals.
I have done many duets with Nat and every time it’s been a pleasure we have created many special moments.
Marry Me In Vegas was part 1 this is part 2 after Vegas with Real Good Trouble. 
Months after the non event of the grand marriage. He missed her after jilting her and not making the flight he felt like he needed to explain he just wasn’t ready for what she wanted. 
He never had the chance as she disappeared, shutdown her socials, changed her number and left.
Months passed without contact and then this phone called happened.

REAL GOOD TROUBLE (After Vegas)

I can’t believe you’re back in the city 
We called called our own
You wouldn’t recognise my number 
When I was calling,  calling on your phone
You said I’m sorry it’s been too long now 
And too many stones thrown 
I changed my number then picked another 
It was a stagecoach to Basingstoke 

Chorus 
So if you wanna get into 
Some real…. real Good trouble 
And leave our past behind
Then I’m ready & primed
For real good trouble 
For real good trouble….. Every Time! 

(every time.. oh baby baby baby... every time)

2nd Verse
After Vegas I needed to leave 
I should of worn my heart on my sleeve
Every minute of everyday 
I thought of you and what I would say 
I got a job found a place 
And for a while I was the new face.. 
And all the great moments that got us through 
Were never the same without You! 

Chorus 
So if you wanna, get into
Some real…. real good trouble 
And leave our past behind 
Then I’m ready & primed
For real good trouble 
For real good trouble … Every Time!

Every time.. oh baby baby baby... every time..
Real good trouble... 
Real good trouble... 
Real good trouble... 
Every time.. Every time!

Real Good Trouble (After Vegas) Fox, Brownie & Daniels

CAST OF CHARACTERS:
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- electric piano, synth, seed idea
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark –  vocals, lyrics, mix, and production
Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – guitar
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–banjo, guitar, sitar, and final mastering
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums, seed idea
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – four-string fretless bass

Composition – The Eclectic Collective
This song started in probably the most effective way our group writes them. Ken had a spectacular drum beat that was unused in a previous project, so JJ composed and recorded  a chord arrangement with his magical keys. Once we had a beat and a chord structure, Josh came along and added his foundational bass. 
     Now that the rhythm section was complete and the chord structure was in place, Stephen added his unique melody line that you hear at the beginning and every other verse on his magic banjo. He also plays all the initial guitar until around 1:40, where Tez takes over. Stephen also added some really trippy sitar in the vocal section. Then it was time for Tez to add some spice to the mix with his fiery guitar solos from about 1:40 on, eventually building up to a crescendo towards the end. 
     Once we had all the music down, we realized that we had a big gap in the bridge without much going on in it. So, Mark came through with an old poem he had written on his fridge with word magnets for his daughter more than a decade ago, and expanded on it for this song. (the poem is loosely based on the idea that our dreams exist in a digital environment/universe) The young girl's voice you hear echoing Mark's filtered voice is his daughter, in her first appearance with the EC. 
     The song was now finished, except for Mark using his production skills to trim and move a few things, then mix it. While we usually defer to Tez or Stephen for the mix, Mark did such a great job, we decided to keep his mix. Stephen did, however master and EQ it to make it a finished product. 
     This song was truly put together as a whole band effort, showcasing what the Eclectic Collective can do. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it.  

Original lyrics by Mistermark:  

The moon flickers on
and rises and dances
across a celestial stage
as dreamers paint the pixels of their mind 
like an infinite canvas 

Sleep away tiny egg
and leave a delicate thread 
of memory behind 
but never log out 
you are in the elaborate web
always

Ist Kan Bulle

[English lyrics below]

I was a high-schooler, not yet able (if at all) to write decent lyrics. So I resorted to more or less famous poems, but also to short stories from which I cut out fragments and stitched them together. Under my scalpel also fell 'Superfluous Invitations', a short story by Dino Buzzati published in 1958 in 'Sixty Short Stories'. There is a version that I recovered from a 1977 tape , but I had the desire to replay and rearrange it a few time ago.
2024, May 22 (Last version). At the sax Jörg (@joerxworx); together we have also produced an only instrumental version of the track (https://soundcloud.com/michele-ansani/i-would-like-you-to-come-instrumental  AND  https://soundcloud.com/joerxworx/michele-ansani-instrumental-with-alto-sax-2).

Cover picture: "Ritratto di Eura", from the graphic novel of Dino Buzzati, Poema a fumetti (Poem Strip), Milano 1969.

English Lyrics

I would like you to come to me on a winter evening
and huddled together behind the window looking at the night
we would remember the winters of fairy tales
where we lived together without knowing it.

By the same fairy paths did you and I walk
together we went through forests full of wolves
together without knowing it perhaps we both gazed
towards the mysterious life that awaited us

‘Do you remember?’ we will say each other and you will smile,
while outside will sound the wind's shaken metal sheets
but you - now I remember - do not know the ancient tales
of the nameless kings, of ogres and bewitched gardens

You have never passed enraptured under the magical talking trees
nor have you ever knocked on the door of the abandoned castle.
you have never walked in the night towards a distant light
nor have you ever fallen asleep under the stars of the East

Behind the window in the winter evening probably
we will remain mute like two strangers
I would ask ‘do you remember?’
but you would not remember
you would not remember

Weather The Storm

Weather The Storm (Feb. 2025)

The train to nowhere has no end
As far as you can see around the bend
There always is another curve
Another chapter to the story
So we can continue to pretend
Not to see how our story ends

We try so hard to never see
The end of tracks go on endlessly
We hear them rumble beneath our feet
We feel the sway in perfect time
An effect for every cause we find
Creates our end in harmony

A life of storms with wind and rain
Teaches us to weather pain
There is no sense to lie and blame
Hardships on bad timing
The train that I am riding
Is my story just the same

The Train To Nowhere
