This song began with Artur composing the entire skeleton, and recording it against a mechanical beat. He presented it to Josh, who immediately shared it with The Eclectic Collective. Ken first replaced the metronomic beat with a real, rocking drum sound. Josh promptly added his fretless bass to it, to complete the rhythm section. Soon after, JJ added his electric piano magic, including a short solo, to the stew. Once the rhythmic framework was laid down, Stephen got to work on the choruses, coming up with solid, melodic lines for them. Then, it was Tez's turn to light up the verses with his monster guitar. When we had it mostly completed, Artur asked JJ if he'd do an intro to it. JJ came up with the whole psychedelic intro in response. 
  When it was finished, we asked Stephen if he would mix it for us, which he did with his typical mastery and attention to detail. We all really enjoy making music with Artur, and have been fans of and collaborators with him for almost a year now. If you like the sound of this song, you would do well to go check out his page, too, as he has a bunch of gems on there. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Well - synths
This time, our duo invites you to face the illusion that prevents us from living our real lives to the fullest. We create an illusion and can't escape it. It could be some kind of addiction or toxic love. Whatever. We are in a maze and can't see the way out. Maybe it's time to break these shackles of illusion. Maybe the way out is in our mind. That's more or less what our piece is about! Enjoy listening to it !!!

Dedicated to so many families with lost loved ones

Untimely Ascension

Recorded on a basic tascam 4 track tape recorder, a quick sound test to  to explore rhythmic guitar delays . In the background the ambient sounds are whats known as a guitar Glissando effect, by playing the open strings with a smooth matallic bar, in this case a tremolo arm.

Light Geometry (2001)

Not quite my usual but I liked this little tune :)

Long Days & Sleepless Nights

Go Back

Green Eyes See Gray

Since you're the expert on my life
Why don't you tell me 
Why I feel this way inside
All the things that I hide
You put me high up on the shelf
I don't want to steal the light
Thinking of jumping now
Knock me down

You think you know me so well
But what if you're wrong?

Why do I dam up all these tears
Flooding the very place that I call home
I let down my guard for you
And you left me, alone
I just needed you to show me
That it would be okay
I'm not as tough as I seem
Inside I'm broken
I'm weak

You think you know me so well
But what if you're wrong?

Wednesday

Better days

This morning

You’ve spent a long time away
In your imaginary daze
You’ve spent a long time away
How will you come back through the haze?

Truth is - you’re falling
Truth is - there’s nothing 
Truth is - this is not the place you thought you’d be
Truth is - you’re lost and
Truth is - there’s nothing
Truth is - this is not the place you’d thought you’d be

You missed the seasons take their turn
Although the fire’s warm, it burns 
You missed the world as it turns
You’ve lost the cozy spot where the light can warm your skin

You tried to fill the void with love
Society taught us that love is not enough
So you tried to fill the void with stuff
Now you’re cluttered to your eyes, collecting dust

You tried to sprout some wings and fly, away~
Sorry to say that the wind was quite strong that day
It knocked you down, sent you spiraling to the ground
You sat there on the shore and watched your dreams drift away..

Truth is
