Surfers like Us ….. guitar, co-composition

This track is the result of our ongoing collaboration and friendship. This time we invite you to travel deep into the ocean. It’s a world of beauty and mystery. Full of light and darkness, too. But always fascinating. Thank you for stopping by our vision of the ocean's immensity. We hope you enjoy this oceanic journey!

Deep Ocean (w/Well)

This composition started with a few earnest and honest piano chords. What emerged was a personal attempt to deal with loss through electronic symphony. 

More will come...

This is a song that JJ came up with on the electric piano and shared with the rest of us. He's done a significant portion of the songwriting for the Eclectic Collective, and always gives us quality songs, to which are easy to add our voices. 
When he sent it to us, he had a rough bass on there that sounded like Lust for Life. Ken came up with a killer and appropriate beat, which, if you can picture Lust For Life, included a lot of accentuated bass kicks. 
So, Josh took and went with that, and came up with a funky bass line. Ken and he kicked it back and forth a few times till they linked up. Then JJ added some funky ass organ and trippy retro synth to spice it up.
 Then it was time to send it to the guitarist. Tez laid down some smoking lead solos throughout, with his signature fiery guitar tone and amazing licks. Then Stephen funked it up even more with a fonky-ass wah guitar track. 
 Ken produced and mixed this one for us, and what an excellent job he did, too. This was so much fun to create. We all hope you enjoy listening to our jam as much as we did playing it.

Hello again dear Listeners.  

Bless your soul for continuing to Let Go and Listen to our raw but heartfelt Improvisational musical conversations.  Tim and i thank you for your kindness, comments and reposts.

How we do it, we have no idea other than a lifetime of playing and celebrating 'the Music'... wherever and whenever it arises!  But one thing's for sure... better to creatively engage with the Winds of Change than to try to ignore them. ;))

This recording Session in 'The Living Room' happened on October 6th 2023, and we were delighted to get together again and see where our Muses took us. And again, our trusty ZOOM Stereo Mic caught it all.

And yes! The Autumn winds are roving the lands in the Northern Hemisphere of this awesome planet, and they never fail to Inspire and stir up ancestral memories of the long ago... and what's happening in the Present Moment! 

Tim reached for his Fender Telecaster once again, and i reached for my Kawai ES7 Stage Piano to express what we felt, and we hope that you'll both Resonate with, and enJoy the outcome of our efforts, at least as much we did.

The title of this track is a reference to the wartime term "no quarter", which also means "take no prisoners". The 'blood' red flag is often used as a symbol of this horrible practice and, in fact, it is considered a war crime to refuse to spare the life of anybody - i.e. to refuse quarter. The term "No Quarter" prompted me to research the meaning, which is where the concept for the song title came from.

In the original 1999 version of this tune, the only instrument was the echo-y electric piano sound, which was influenced heavily by the song "No Quarter" by Led Zeppelin. This is another tune I'd recommend listening to with headphones because of the heavy panning movement throughout. 

(special thanks to Chris [cgmaness] for the thoughtful perspective that reminded me of this incredible video, which speaks for itself. more like screams!  www.youtube.com/watch?v=9x7FGbW3IVc) 

Make music not war.

All comments welcome, and don't be shy to be critical or suggest ideas to help me improve.

IM MOVING ON

Smooth, intimate, and built for motion. This flip keeps Tems’ warmth upfront but pushes the drums into that late-night, deep-groove zone. Clean, moody, and ready for any set that needs emotion and energy at the same time.

Second release from the Flow State Edit Pack — more refined flips on the way. More texture, more rhythm, more moments you can drop anywhere.

Kissing me  -  Vocal n Drums.wav

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
