We drifted past the neon sprawl
no compass in our hand
Through desert haze and canyon calls
a restless, wayward band
A valley bloomed where shadows fell 
with whispers soft and low
And there we lingered, spellbound 
where wild rivers flow

remember 
All the places we’ve been

remember
All the feeling within
 
No map could lead us here
to this fleeting, sacred ground
Yet in this glen, my heart’s at ease
where peace is finally found
Though roads still beckon
I’ll hold tight to this dream’s soft glow
This hidden place 
my saving grace, where only dreamers go

remember 
All the places we’ve been

remember
All the feeling within

We drifted past the neon sprawl, 
no compass in our hand,
Through desert haze and canyon calls,
a restless, wayward band,
A valley bloomed where shadows fell, 
with whispers soft and low,
And there we lingered, spellbound, 
where wild rivers flow. 

remember 
All the places we’ve been

remember
All the feeling within

Remember

Well hello. Here’s some rustic Mountain Blues, played on extremely oxidized guitar strings, with me hollering from the mountain top. Hahahaha. The song hints at a personal authenticity, and the experience of possibly unraveling any prior conditioning (Pavlovian or otherwise) that may constrict our lives in some way. It’s also about the different personas we portray to the outside world. How we may act at work, or on a first date, or with our spouse, or kids, friends, enemies, those who hurt us, even our stage personas comes into play…. So this song is asking a lot of us. In other news, right now in June, the mountains are snow covered and it froze last night. That is late spring, early summer here. Gardenwise, this year, I am planting a lot more Brassicas: Kale, Cabbage and Broccoli, and they are growing well. I am going to try to fence off the carrot/beet beds, as the voles always eat more carrots and beets than I ever do. Onions, leeks and garlic have been growing since March. I transplanted 50 lettuce plants I grew from seed that I saved from last year’s lettuce. The berry bushes and fruit trees have really blossomed this year. There are squash, cukes, tomato and pepper plants inside by the window, to be transplanted outside next week, quite a mess… all of which keeps me busy…. Hahaha. Thanks for dropping by, hope you’re well, Mark

'Round Here'

This track is my very personal take at the Koan "Hear the Clap of your Hand". My lyrics version (https://soundcloud.com/konrad-spittelberg/the-clap-of-one-hand-pp) might make things clearer. (yes, this is my sneaky strategy to guide you from one song to another :-))

Compositionwise, the track is roughly split into two equal parts. The first part introduces its cinematic theme in the very beginning, taking it thereafter up several times with slightly different accentuations and rhythms which gives it a fresh feel with different highlighted nuances in each repetition. Several interludes contribute to the cinematic feeling. 

The second part, starting @1.53 starts by a more Jazzy version of the main theme. However, from 2.20 onwards, it is very restricted in its harmonies - only two harmonies are used from thereon until the end, C major and C# major. The tension arises purely from the rhythmic changes (such as the shift from 4/4 to 3/4 @3.17 and back), climaxing at the end.

Cast of characters:
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick fretless four-string bass, composition
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – organ and synth
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken — drums and percussion
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark –- clavinet, VST saxophone solo, VST horns, effects, production editing

Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender Telecaster HHS electric guitrar

This song began back at the beginning of the summer, when Josh was messing around on his electric piano and found a structure to which to add his bass. As soon as he opened the project to the rest of Eclectic Collective, JJ jumped right in, adding his thrilling organ and ethereal background synth. Thus, Josh dropped his original e. piano part in favor of JJ's new parts. Ken was next up, adding the drums in reverse order from how he and Josh usually do it. Ken is very skilled at being able to add drums to a pre-existing bass line, which he displays in here. He also added the clever auxilary percussion you hear throughout. Mark was next to the trough, adding his funky clavinet, as well as his sax solo you hear lighting it up in there. He also added some well composed horns toward the end, not to be confused with JJ's synth. 
  Then it was time for the guitarists to do their thing. Stephen added the strong, melodic solos in the first two breaks with his guitar and wah pedal. After Tez added his thrilling solos at the end, Stephen went back in and added the funky rhythm guitar part. Tez also added the funky guitar riffs throughout the verses.
  All that was left was to get Carl in on the action, as he is the newest core member of Eclectic Collective. He wrote a poem and sung it in his signature, wild style for us.
  This is Eclectic Collective at its almost full strength, pulling six musicians from two different continents and four different countries together to create a song. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it.
   On a side note, this will be Eclectic Collective's last song for two weeks. As most of you know, we release a song every Thursday at midnight. Due to vacation and travel at the end of summer, we'll be skipping  next Friday, the 15th, but should be returning the following Friday, the 22nd. We may also put something out this coming Tuesday, the 12th, so please stay tuned. Can't thank enough those of you who tune in regularly and support us every week. 
Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark:
Hey Human
It's official
The get down on fire funk
Future sizzle
All members agree
Gotta collect that love
Then give it back and well, we see
Fuel for that musical party

Initition ceremony
Transcontinental spanking machine
Uh oh it's a musical tri sexual
Try anything that melody mentioning
Do it for the song
We gonna right some wrong
Rolling rhythm unkown

Love legends loud
Rest in peace good Kobe one
This one's for you
Good G.O.A.T of stun!

Lyrics:

Salt air
Land locked shore
Clipped hair
Clipped hair
Dusting the floor

When the reason's her
When the season's here
Not stuck anymore 
When the reason's her

Going stir
The voice of an Age
Cut off
At the fur
At the fur
Red apple rage

Windowless her
Windowless her
Nausea I could not 
assuage

Tongue tied blur
Tongue tied blue
At the hopelessness
of the page
All the hope I have/hold 
of you

Windowless her
Windowless her

This acoustic version of my song made from one of my Grandad's poems is dedicated to Father Brendan Scully who passed away on 30th August 2025. He was 81 years of age.

Brendan was a fabulous soul and a really good friend of our family growing up. Brendan used to call us cuz (short for cousin).

Father Brendan was so amazing.

Rest in Peace Fr. Brendan 🤍

You were a true man of conscientious spirit and a credit to what a priest should be for people, a teacher of love 🫡

Lyrics

Ahoo ha!

They say it started with a blast
(started with a blast)
Our universe in distant past
(aww the distant past)
I search the sky I search the trees
(search the trees)
But only laughing beauties tease
(only beauties tease)
Oh! God who wrought this mighty task
(mighty task)
What size are You? I fondly ask

A galaxy infinity
What proof of your ability!

So feeble is my understanding
Of Thee and the stars so long expanding
Oh! fury of this recondite
When will this mystery come to light
Why wonder at a galaxy
When we as yet don’t know the bee
How could it be that from one bang
Alone all natures music rang

It’s Papa!
Ahoo ha
Pass into the future
It's Papa!
Ahoo ha
Passing to be future

What mysteries do we tread upon
When daisy heads we trample on
Alas no greater is the deed
That you can make a star or seed
Oh! cruel short chain of lexicon
Can’t I express this God an’ sun
To look into the deep devide
And tell what secrecy it hides

To see the way the skies obey
Or ponder over Saturn’s Rhea
To marvel at the sun on fire
Or look to Mars revolving mire
Or see the Moon’s majestic eye
As she protects the starry sky
If I could but explain a tree
Then I could solve this mystery
Waiting answer will not be long
God will tell me when I’m gone

It’s Papa!
Ahoo ha
Pass it to the future
“I’ve got Mum safe an' sound”

It’s Papa!
Ahoo ha
Passed to the future

There there sons
and our little girls
Greetings from heaven
You’ve all turned out so well
You give this planet the good warmth
Truth, heart and hope
It’s really that simple
Just love and be one”

Hey Nana
Hey Papa
Ah hu ha
Passing to the future
Ah ha ha ha
Hey Nana
Hey Papa
Ah hu ha
Passed into the future
Ah ha ha ha

There there cuz
and our sons & girls
Greetings from heaven
You’ve all turned out so well
You give this planet the good warmth
Truth, heart and hope
It’s really that simple
Just love and be one”

Yeah
Ahoo ha

A big spiritual hello to Nana & Papa cuz :-) Love ya man
