Schwiiz - Mir Sind Am Wäg

Switzerland is a federal, democratic state in Central Europe. It borders Germany to the north, Austria and Liechtenstein to the east, Italy to the south and France to the west.

Switzerland has a population of just over 9 million people living in an area of ​​just under 41,300 square kilometers. The state is one of the most densely populated states in Europe, with the population concentrated in the Mittelland, the basin between the Jura and the Alps, and in southern Ticino. The eight largest cities and economic centers are Zurich, Geneva, Basel, Lausanne, Bern, Winterthur, Lucerne and St. Gallen.

The state has a share in three large language areas: German in German-speaking Switzerland, French in French-speaking Switzerland (Suisse romande, Western Switzerland, Welschschweiz) and Italian in Italian-speaking Switzerland; the fourth language area is Romansh (in parts of the canton of Graubünden). German, French, Italian and Romansh are the official languages ​​of Switzerland, the first three being the official languages ​​of the federal government. In order not to favor any one language, the country code is "CH", the abbreviation of the Latin term Confoederatio Helvetica.

République de Guinée - N’tô N’kélé

Guinea is a country in West Africa bordering (clockwise from the northwest) Guinea-Bissau, Senegal, Mali, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Sierra Leone, and the Atlantic Ocean. The capital of Guinea is Conakry.

The former French colony of Guinea gained independence on October 2, 1958. In its turbulent history, Guinea has suffered many military coups, most recently in 2021. The resulting current government, led by Mamady Doumbouya, rules authoritatively, just like previous governments. Serious human rights violations continue to occur regularly.

In addition to neighboring Guinea-Bissau, there is another country in Africa called Guinea: Equatorial Guinea, located further east between Cameroon and Gabon. These countries should not be confused with the South American Guianas (Guyana, French Guiana, and Dutch Guiana/Suriname).

The Hunchback of Notre Dame - The Gargoyles

Cast of Characters:

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick four string fretless bass, vocals, lyrics, and seed idea
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums 
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– electric guitar 
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark – clavinet and VST sax     
Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – electric guitar, mix, and production
Eclectic Collective -- composition

This song started its life as one of a batch of bass lines Josh came up with around the New Year holiday. He recorded it to a rudimentary drum loop, which Ken replaced perfectly with his own beat. Stephen was up after Ken, adding his tasteful, foundational guitar you hear underlying the entire song. Not to miss out on the guitaring, Tez came up with the ethereal guitar fills that float around in there. Mark came after Tez with his textural wah clavinet, also adding the wonderful sax solo you hear in the middle. After it was done musically, Josh went back and wrote some lyrics and sang them, too.
  Once it was in the can, we asked Tez to do the honors of mixing it for us, which he did in his always expert fashion. 
  This is a fine example of the Eclectic Collective coming together to create a heartfelt song, based on a bass line seed.  We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Original lyrics by Josh Clary:

Sometimes I think about 
Things we used to talk about
Now I have to go without
Ever looking at your face x2
 
But I want you near me
Wish that you could hear me

What if we could ever reach
Out to the other each
But what would we say?
Is it just another routine day? x2
  
It makes my heart hurt bad
When I think of what I had
Now you’ve slipped away
Seems I saw you just the other day
 
Life can be really cruel
And I can be a fool
But I wish there were a way
I could hear what you would say

Loss - The Eclectic Collective

Harsh Vulnerable explores a heavier more somber sound for M.E.; with emphasis on post rock elements and more acoustic tonalities. It serves as a cathartic/coping expression for what I have been going through on both a personal level as well as the bleak global outlook.

“The Light” was the last track produced for the album. It’s focus is resilience in the face of adversity. 
Harsh Vulnerable is available in Bandcamp for only $3-

Push me- Kahmeya

Lately I have been listening to Johnny Cash with a greater appreciation than ever before.  When doing this song, I felt close to Mr. Cash and his work.  I hope some of that feeling made its way into this song.  On Monday it will be 13 years since Mr. Cash left this earth.  His music lives on.

I owe so much on this song to the wonderful music and support from Hans and the additional care from Sam Prock.  Thank you dearly my friends.

Regards,
Chris

“Painted White Line”

Empty hallway
Empty heart
Drained of emotion
Too tired to start 
Another hopeless journey
Into the dark

Like a freight train
Trying to roll without its tracks
Like an airplane
Trying to fly with wings detached
Like a racecar
Steering without its wheel
My life feels like a tunnel
I need her here

I remember back
To a time of daisies 
And dandelions
She was the flower
I was a common weed
I could always hear her breathe
It always seemed 
She was breathing life into me

There is a painted white line
On the road for travelers
I need a painted white line
In my life as I’m traveling
But my line is painted 
Painted black

I drink my cheap wine
I remember back
To a time of daisies 
And dandelions
She was the flower
I was the common weed

I could always hear her
The way she breathed
It always seemed to me like … 
She was breathing the life into me
Breathing life into me
Breathing life into me
She was breathing the life into me

But like a freight train
Trying to roll without its tracks
Like an airplane
Trying to fly with wings detached
I’m the racecar
Steering without a wheel
My life’s a tunnel
I need her…

Painted White Line (Original song by Hans / Wild Christopher / Sam Prock)

Remixing the maestro Jean Michel JARRE from his new Infinity. Remix is made with the official stems published for remix at metapop. Had a blast messing with them and get behind the scene to "mad professor" sound lab! All made with love for the sake of fun and proactive share! 

https://metapop.com/samprock/tracks/jean-michel-jarre-infinity-sam-prock-party-mix/71350

I bet you did not expect EDM Party track from old dudes like Jarre and Prock :P Cheers very much!

Listen to the original from Infinity album on @jeanmicheljarre page:

(The remix is not monetized by me. Though you may see an ad playing. SC monetizes all my posts anyways. I am cool with that, just hope the remix stays public. But if JMJ or Sony wants me to put it down, it is fine too, it will keep just playing in my basement :) All rights belong to Jean-Michel Jarre and Sony, I guess, who made his list release. The mix is done by Sam Prock with stems and 100% owned tools by Moog, Arturia, IK Multimedia in Ableton Live 10).
