Paroles / Lyrics
Ma fille, mon enfant 
Je vois venir le temps 
Où tu vas me quitter 
Pour changer de saison 
Pour changer de maison 
Pour changer d'habitudes 
J'y pense chaque soir 
En guettant du regard 
Ton enfance qui joue 
A rompre les amarres 
Et me laisse le goût 
D'un accord de guitare 

Tu as tant voyagé 
Et moi de mon côté 
J'étais souvent parti 
Des Indes à l'Angleterre 
On a couru la Terre 
Et pas toujours ensemble 
Mais à chaque retour 
Nos mains se rejoignaient 
Sur le dos de velours 
D'un chien qui nous aimait 
C'était notre façon 
D'être bons compagnons 

Mon enfant, mon petit 
Bonne route... Bonne route 
Tu prends le train pour la vie 
Et ton cœur va changer de pays 

Ma fille, tu as vingt ans 
Et j'attends le moment 
Du premier rendez-vous
Que tu me donneras 
Chez toi ou bien chez moi 
Ou sur une terrasse 
Où nous évoquerons 
Un rire au coin des yeux 
Le chat ou le poisson 
Qui partageaient nos jeux 
Où nous épellerons 
Les années de ton nom 

A vivre sous mon toit 
Il me semble parfois 
Que je t'avais perdue 
Je vais te retrouver 
Je vais me retrouver 
Dans chacun de tes gestes 
On s'est quittés parents 
On se retrouve amis
Ce sera mieux qu'avant 
Je n'aurai pas vieilli 
Je viendrai simplement 
Partager tes vingt ans 

Mon enfant, mon petit 
Bonne route... Bonne route 
Sur le chemin de la vie 
Nos deux cœurs vont changer de pays

Victor Frankenstein
I've just finished a new song after 27 days. There are four themes, each with a different sound design, and I wanted to combine them into one song. It's like "Victor Frankenstein's monster" that combines fragments of human emotions.

Victor Frankenstein（317）

Cover picture: Albert Bierstadt, "Emigrants Crossing the Plains" (1869): an oil on canvas painting of emigrants on their way to Oregon, inspired by a fifty-wagon train of German emigrants who crossed Bierstadt's path during his 1863 expedition.

Although it is very difficult to estimate the total number of European emigrants, it is thought that from the beginning of the 19th century to the middle of the 20th century, around 30 million people left Europe for the United States.

I reworked in the last days on this not particularly original piece, whose first draft is from 2018.

Cast of characters:
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– Taylor T5z acoustic guitar, Tom Anderson Custom T electric guitar, Gibson Earle Scruggs banjo, Eastwood MandoCaster mix, mastering, production, and composition
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- organ
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums 
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Fender Precision four string bass, played with a plectrum 
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark – harmonica, jaw harp, timpany, hambone percussion, and production editing     
This song began with Stephen, who recorded it on his acoustic guitar and bass to a programmed drum track a few months ago. We were all thrilled to work on it, even though it sat in BandLab as a project for almost a month before Stephen separated the tracks, thus allowing us to trickle in our parts. JJ was first to jump on it, because he could before the tracks were separated, as his part is completely his idea. He added the organ that really set up the entire sound of both dominant sections of the song. 
  Ken was first up to the project once the tracks were replaceable, making the wild, driving beat his own. Inspired by both JPJ and Michael Ivins, Josh laid down his bass line, trying to match Ken's energy. Last, but not least, Mark jumped in with the rumbling timpani. He also added the flavorful harmonica, and unique jaw harp you hear throughout, as well. 
  At that point, Stephen also got the idea to add the hambone percussion at the very end of the song, which we all consider a treat, and after showing us how it's done, Mark volunteered his percussion skills to give it a go. Stephen wasn't done with it, though, and still had some magic to sprinkle. He went in and added the howling electric guitar you hear prominently in the second main section. Also, he added the tempting intro with his acoustic guitar and electric mandolin that looks like a Telecaster guitar. 
  Once it was in the bag, we thought it appropriate for our master mixer Stephen to put it to bed, which he did in his always expert manner. Mark did help with the production, though, as he's very good with editing and spotting mistakes that need to be corrected.
  This is a gift from Stephen to all of us, and you, too. It took a lot of teamwork to make the dream work, as always for Eclectic Collective. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

We all need moments to disconnect from everything and just breath.
Todos necesitamos momentos en los que desconectar de todo y simplemente respirar.

Fingers dancing on the keys tonight 
A melody born in the pale moonlight 
The echoes rise they take their flight 
Through the silence into the night

Dystopia- Short Movie main theme. Now on Fetchflix

This is the story of a young woman looking for her husband in the city devastated after a modern civil war caused by an evil and greedy leader.

“This story is a work of fiction. Any similarity to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events, is purely coincidental. And for those who did not get it, Fetchflix TV is also fictitious.”

Musical notes: I was probably high when I composed that one because I can’t refer to anything I listened to or everything I listened to. Too much camomile probably. Cheers

This track is about those who at some point in their lives have felt lost and confused, searching for the meaning of their lives and for the path to light.

Lost In Dark

Cover
You started Laughing - Supertramp - Rick Davies -1975

When you're in heaven what you gonna do?
You're gonna sit around a cloud and say
"Hey what a lovely view"

Is there a reason why you're like you are?
Is there a reason you'll be leaving?
Is my love out of season?
I wouldn't mind but to me that is treason

You started laughing
When I held you in my arms
You started leaving
When I told you of my charms

I was in love with you
And then you said we're through
And then I said boo hoo

Was my tie not on straight?
Was it something I ate?

You Started Laughing

Chapter 234 of 266

Enter the enigmatic world of "TAFFETA," a musical tapestry woven from the threads of dreams and tragedy. Born from a single night of profound dreaming, this ambitious project embarks on an exploration of the human psyche through the language of instrumental music.

This is a five-year project, comprising of what will eventually end at 266 chapters, each is a standalone piece of sonic artistry, "TAFFETA" unfolds like a novel, with each composition serving as a chapter in a larger narrative. Crafted with meticulous care and creative fervor, every piece is birthed within the span of a week, capturing the essence of inspiration in its purest form.

But "TAFFETA" is more than just a collection of songs; it's a journey of the soul. Set against the backdrop of loss and longing, the project follows the story of a woman who slips into a coma following the untimely death of her husband. Through the evocative power of music, listeners are transported into her world, where emotions ebb and flow like the tides of a restless sea.

Week by week, each chapter of "TAFFETA" unfolds on SoundCloud, inviting audiences to immerse themselves in its haunting beauty. From cinematic compositions to haunting electronic soundscapes, each piece adds a layer to the intricate tapestry of sound, weaving a narrative that transcends the boundaries of language.

As listeners embark on this sonic voyage, they are invited to ponder the mysteries of existence, to confront the depths of sorrow and the resilience of the human spirit. "TAFFETA" is not merely a musical project; it's an experience—a testament to the transformative power of music to touch hearts, stir souls, and awaken the imagination.

Taffeta 234

TAFFETA | 234

It slips across the skin like water,
no edges, no beginning.
A breath not yours,
a gesture remembered but not lived.
Faces pass through you —
soft as mist, sharp as regret —
and somewhere beneath them all,
a silence grows,
where once there might have been a name.

I'VE BEEN UP I'VE BEEN DOWN
I'VE BEEN FOOLING ALL AROUND
FROM THE TOP OF THE WORLD TO THE GROUND

I'VE BEEN SEEN WITH NO SOUND
A HAS BEEN NOWHERE BOUND
I'VE BEEN LOST AND BABY I'VE BEEN FOUND

I'VE BEEN UP I'VE BEEN DOWN

ONCE A KING TWICE A CLOWN
I'VE BEEN SNEAKING AROUND

LOVELY SWEET LITTLE NOTHINGS
SOMETIMES LOVE IS A SOLITARY THING

I'VE BEEN UP (Lyrics)

Time to get satirical with the US political dystopia, or maybe I'm just a  little touchy after all the threats to Canada, both political and economic (not pondering the military  threat to allies)
Sorry if this is offensive to any US-based listeners. Sorry, not sorry ;)

Track 2 from a new 2025 collection of ideas called FRINGE found at https://www.terrywigmore.com/wigmore-allen-gibbons

 Lyrics:
They've all come around on bended knee
Kissing the a-a-a-ass of a once and future king
They fought a war to get rid of a crown
Only to give it away to an autocratic clown
(how come you misjudge me so...

Pick on immigrants, round them all up
Doesn't matter if they're the ones who fill your shops
With all the merchandise and food that you just can't ignore
So you haul them off to a foreign shore - a foreign shore -a foreign
(how come you misjudge me x2   ...so...)

I take a little salt, not on the tail
I like my golden jets, like my foreign jails
I talk of the land, the land of the "free"
Whatever you've got, just give it to me


How did you misjudge me (x3)
I am the claw, in the white flabby hand
(how could you misjudge me (x2)
Autocratic clown (x3)

* samples... "I am Oz, the great and powerful, who are you?", "I could shoot somebody on Fifth Ave..", "China has total respect for Donald Trump and  for Donald Trump's very, very large uh, brain"

[Verse 1]
Woke up this morning, feeling so blessed
Looking in the mirror, I'm looking my best
Yeah, this is my life, and I'm living it right
Every single day, I'm shining so bright

My life, my life, my life

[Verse 2]
Started from the bottom, now we're here
Every step I take, making it clear
This is my time, this is my space
Running my race at my own pace

Woke up this morning with a smile on my face

[Pre-Chorus]
Every single breath I take
Every move I choose to make
Shows me what I'm living for

Wake up feeling like I'm floating on air

[Intro]
Yeah, this is for my people
Every single day we rise
From the heart, you know
Let me tell you how we vibe

Every day the beat goes on

[Chorus]
BeatStreet for you every day
BeatStreet for you every day
Songs straight from the soul, okay
BeatStreet for you every day
BeatStreet for you every day
BeatStreet for you every day
Music from the heart, I say
BeatStreet for you every day

BeatStreet for you every day

When https://soundcloud.com/dneye asked me for a track to play his fantastic guitars on, I brainstormed this 5/4 piece with odd chord set in order to make it difficult to him and thus get the best from his skills. After programming it, I added some organic solos (yep I played keys) to make it seem more friendly ;))))

And he... succeeded in the challenge, overcoming all my expectations !!!

Five by D'n'Eye: guitar1, guitar2, guitar3, guitar4, harp.
Five by E-Ruizzo: piano, bass, mellotron, organ, drums.

Hope you'll enjoy this our first post in the new year !!
