Shock the Algorithm

This is the 3rd collaboration with my old friend Synline (@synline). I created a basic track using his equipment in his studio, and he completed it with his excellent arrangement (includes creating additional sections, tracks, etc.) and mastering work.

Composition by Ken

lyrics:
We've been through a lot, a lot of shit
now it's time to fight, fight against
against this depression and evil vibe
this is the time we will take over our lives

We've been submersed deep deep down
we've lost our faith into this evil town
we have to get back, get back to our own feet
we had enough, enough with this shit!

and now we have our head up high
we know what it's true and never dies
and now we step up with god's command
we won't take it anymore, not get stuck into the sand

It won't take forever just to reach our dream
it won't take forever to delete the bad scene
it won't take forever to hold your hand
it won't take forever to the promised land

it won't take forever to live again
it won't take forever to face the sun
it won't take forever, it won't take forever!

Rock and Roll Kills

Well you know that…
I woke up dreaming
Slipped into a thought
That the roof is on the ceiling
And chairs walk through doors
Then I try to change the way
Things shouldn’t have been
To turn back the clocks again
And make a smile reappear

Outta control / get outta control / 
Cos I’m outta control / way out of control
It got out of control / now we’re outta  control
So out of control / all out of control

Now what’s left don’t look right
Grey skies keep you down
So I bought a new plot play
To get these feet from the ground
I made up masquerade missions
But hiding as the real me
And the plan of the year?
Just to make the world feel
Well if I’m still dreaming
Can better ones still be taught
Cos this reality is too costly
To not jump overboard 

Outta control / get outta control / 
Cos I’m outta control / way out of control
It got out of control / now we’re outta  control
So out of control / all out of control
Outta control / getting
Outta control / getting
Outta control / I’m getting
Out of control
Outta control / getting 
Outta control / getting 
Outta control / you’re getting
Out of control
Outta control / I’m getting
Outta control / you’re getting
Outta control / we’re getting
Out of control

Out of control
We’re out of control
All out of control
We’re all out of control

Out of Control (still)

Fun tune about the peace loving folks of Planet Trillium and their excitement and ultimate dismay upon discovering Earth and all it's troubles. Inspired by the artwork of Wina Obake who was kind enough to do an original cover art for this song

Planet Trillium

Had a little dry spell, hopefully it's over now. In the span of 24 hours I have alternated between hating and loving this track about 400 times...

If you need a helping hand
Someone who understands
Don’t shed a tear, I’m right here

If you need a dollar bill
Or have a little time to kill
Baby you know I will
I’m right here

When you’re down and blue
And you need two big strong arms to pull you through
Hold on tight, that’s what i’ll do

These are more than just words I say
I’m here for you night and day
Have no fear I'm right here

When the road is long
And you need someone to beside you, I’ll come along
Anywhere with you, is the place where I belong

These are more than just words I say
I’m here for you every day
Have no fear I'm right here
Have no fear I'm right here
Let me make this clear

I'm Right Here

Moves like the ocean

Go With It

Party Overture

For Pride Month. This is a rough version with just me and the guitar. The real version will be a 90's dance song, hopefully with not flat vocals, hopefully this weekend

This is not about you,
Your life is not about who I love, or the things I do
You’re not the one that I answer to

But it’s not about me
There’s more to my life than i will ever know, than i’ll ever see
I don’t hurt anyone just let this be

I have no voice but I can speak
I don’t like what you do to me
I say it’s time we make a stand

It’s more than tonight
It’s more than my fight
This is my right
This is my life

Do you feel the beat
It’s the pulse of the world
Where the people meet to let their flag unfurl

Do you feel it?

What does it matter to you
How i live my life, or what I believe, or the path I choose
Look inside, are you afraid to face the truth

We all need to be
Fragile and fearless, wild and free, you see 
for fate of the world, for our destiny 

Love is blind but I still see
And I don’t like what you’ve done to me
I see bloodstains on your hands!

Do you feel the beat
It’s the pulse of the world
Where the freaks all meet to let their flags unfurl

not about you (acoustic)

A breakup song

It's My Shovel
I wish I believed in us
At this point I can't even be fake
It's me or you, and I choose me
That's my take

There can never be an us
It could never be, it could never seem
That me or you, is you and me
That's insane

What if there could be an us
I’d give anything if I could be redeemed
By your decree, but you left me
Holding faith

I let their mistakes, be my struggle
It’s not yours to take, it’s my shovel
To bury the past where I stumbled

You're never alone if you’re humble
You’ve got what it takes, at every level
Believe in yourself, you know that I will

I know I believe us
At this point I can’t even explain
How she and you, saved all of me
We’re the same


Its My Shovel

Cast of characters:
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–electric guitar, banjo, production, and mix
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ—clavichord
mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- synth

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 – five-string fretless bass, electric guitar, seed idea
Composition--The Eclectic Collective
This song began with Josh coming up with the bass line and accompanying guitar chords that make up that part of the rhythm section. Ken was next to add his funky drums, thus completing the rhythm section. JJ also added to the rhythm, however, with his driving clavichord, soon after. He also added the trippy theremin you hear in the break part, too. Chris added some far out guitar parts that fill in the sound throughout, too. Mark then jumped in and she some of the synth you hear in the break part, too. Stephen came along to complete the sound with his cunning banjo, as well as fiery guitar in the break part. He also produced and mixed this superbly as always for us.
This is another purely Eclectic Collective production, and almost of us were able to add our voices to this, except Tez and The Mysterious Decibel. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating

Time Is Our Only Enemy (The Eclectic Collective)

This improvisation created a meditative space that was peaceful and yet mysterious, always beckoning me beyond....

As you let this mystical piano piece take you within the holographic spaces of mind and heart, may it elevate your thoughts and pacify your heart.

I will make bold and dedicate this piece to what was perhaps meant by the apostle John in his 'Revelation', when he said "that in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished on earth." and NOW is always a good time for that to happen, imho.

FREEDOM COME

Tall Tales style remix of a Moby track from mobygratis.com - made with Suno v4.5

Summer

AC/DC - Whole Lotta Rosie(Cover) Featuring Kevin Thomas On Vocals

I was interested in music in my early youth... so I soon got my first synthesizer and set up a small home recording studio.
over the years i played keyboards in 5 bands...the direction was rock...pop...blues and soul.
in the meantime i have discovered my enthusiasm for creating my own songs.
it makes me happy when I can compose...arrange...mix...produce and create something new.
it's like a passion to experiment with different styles of music... and it gives me a lot of joy.
the only limit is your imagination...
is my motto.
and everything is possible...you just have to try.

music is pure magic...and part of the soul...
no one can escape her
let the music guide your mind...and that's the only way you'll get the freedom...you've always wanted
