Get 'em lazy bastards do something

Eclectic! Born in ca. 2001 Sonic Ensemble is an instrumental project by Thomas Kallweit. The idea is to have instrumental music without words. Genres can differ they do have in common most of the times that different instruments concur for an expression. Sometimes comprovisal or free but mostly composed and arranged in a certain way. Some tracks here appeared on albums, others were made for a contest and more others were made for themselves.
In this case all compositions are in front which deal with several instruments. Sort of Best of here. Be warned: I also deal with lyrics and vocals. Published those tracks as thomekk, Thomas Liebe and Eiterschlangen in the past.

There's an extra SoundCloud channel for the more guitar orientated stuff.
