Another World

In the play "El cóndor pasa", Frank is a character born in an indigenous family, but with blonde hair like the foreigners that exploit him and his peers, a detail that deeply troubles him. In some way, he represents the people of my country, all of us descendants of colonizers and colonized. A shared history of suffering, that's what connect us, and yet, we keep finding ways to discriminate, segregate, despise, humiliate, ignore, kill, and hate on each other.

Composición basada en el "Yaraví de Frank (Pobre alma prisionera)" perteneciente a la zarzuela "El cóndor pasa", del compositor peruano, Daniel Alomía Robles (1887-1940).

The possibility that there are 9 billion Earth-like planets in our own galaxy (Milky Way) is touched on in the excellent novel 'Bewilderment' by Richard Powers.
Considering the 100-400 billion galaxies estimated in the universe, there may be vast numbers of different life-forms (past or present) around the cosmos. 
Surely some may be generating sound frequencies to excite or entertain others of their kind...or us?

The Smoking Trout collaborative is back with another installment in the story of the Quest for the Holy Dumpling! On this one, me, Jeff, Uziel, and Stephen are joined by Tot for the first time. He sent us an awesome beat to serve as the rhythmic backbone to this new song. Then Stephen totally funkified it with guitar, Uziel gave a stellar performance on vocals with some original lyrics, and Jeff and I contributed just the right amount of weirdness. Hope you will enjoy!

Lyrics:

All those normal little things... pass us by, pass ussssssss
mirage of migrant, trucks full of food tiny boutiques nose up looking down
street dancers, performers, the arts little stalls selling fruit

and the bus tumbles through

HOWEVER GUS, You remember Gus? The driver of this bus...
Regretfully informs us that our engine food is at the edge of E, and the only thing we'll be running on soon is fumes

And as we approach, We can hear
A dusty massive heart beating city industry eldritch being and foreboding
Sitting atop his sky scrapers gloating
"Hungry enough yet?" It's beastly maw cries! "It's 10 for 5 and the price only went up 6.7%
Nothing to you, you're worker bees and you can make more honey, can't you?"

While yes that's true
We are the life blood that flow through
But people like me and you
Can't afford it

Fortune cookie flavor our journey
It's the last I got
I'm looking for the old woman
The gate keeper to the other side
Where we have the wholly divide
Away from this hellish relish
And Instead:
Dumpling soup, dumpling plump, fried in foie gras butter perhaps?
Holy condiment burns through fiery on your Thai chili adjusted tongue,

BUT THAT'S JUST ME! It tastes different for everyone

"OH, I can't help it!

We are all starving, the bus is outta' gas, and spewing smoke, Gus is cussing up a storm, Roberta's lighting up her last swiff... I think Larry's getting water?... but we're all outta food"
said Jimmy to Sally and Stu

All digging through our pockets to get the last crumb or two
Looking forward to what we have to share
But it looks like
It's not a lot

Dumpling Stew (Smoking Trout's HOLY DUMPLING #6) w/ Uziel, Stonerjazz, TexMex Shaman & Tot

Cast of characters:
Steve's Planet--@steve-vervaet—Steve—acustic guitar, vocals, lyrics, composition/arrangement
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman–Stephen–electric guitar, production, and mix
J.J. Terrell--@j-j-terrell—JJ—organ
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara–Ken–drums, percussion, and low vocal harmony
Llanpsych–@llanpsych–Tez–electric guitar 
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1–Fender precision bass  

This song began as an acoustic guitar and vocals stem written and performed by Steve. He sent it to Josh, who added the undulating staccato bass line, with the help of Ken's always well-suited drums. They went back and forth a couple of times, as is their process, until it clicked. Tez added some really dynamic leads and fills throughout, and Stephen filled in the rest of the electric guitar in a Keith/Ronnie kind of way, which is very tasteful. JJ then added some perfectly complimentary organ. Finally, Ken pleasantly surprised us with the low vocal harmonies. 
  Stephen also mixed and produced this one for us. He's brilliant behind the board, and we're lucky to have him aboard. This one came together in a matter of a relatively short period of a fortnight, which is rare for the Eclectic Collective. But, when something is hot and already put together, it comes quickly. We all hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed putting it together.
Lyrics:

Fallin’
Wandering aimless
Couldn’t shoot straight
No ability
Not much to say
There was no sign of me
Good times, bad times
Leaving out the sad times
Easily
That’s what they’re telling me
Mend or break
Looking over rooftops
Coming to a full stop
Suddenly
On a sad height
Raging endlessly
Breakline, beeline
Picking up the freeline
Easily
Follow my way
Leavin’ the fast lane
My- My mind is fallin’
When I think about, losing out
There’s no doubt, you started fallin’ x2
And I – I’ve been going my way
One more time, only today 2x
My- My mind is fallin’
When I think about, losing out
There’s no doubt, you started fallin’ x2

Fallin' - The Eclectic Collective

Re-visiting some old songs on my porch.

It must have been some time ago, my hair is growing long
since we wandered through the barricades
separating right from wrong.
Now I try to fake an interest in your requests and your demands
as you just stand there mesmerised by cloud cuckoo land.

You're a tricky girl to navigate, your grief is too well known
for pride or pretty flowers, for a cut and polished stone.
I bargained for your solitude as they marked you with their brand
and led you through the gardens of cloud cuckoo land.

Dear Sarah, do you remember me,
I was the man who took you down to the sea.

Now they zip you up, they brush your hair, they put their wires inside your mind,
where little men with big ideas come to see what they can find.
It was not until the lights went out that I came to understand
that I would be your paramour in cloud cuckoo land.

There was someone here before me, his stain has marked the walls,
I would cry out but I'm afraid that you might hear my call.
Now there's something in the atmosphere that only you command
as we tremble in the corridors of cloud cuckoo land.

Cloud Cuckoo Land  (Porch Song.2) Steve Killingbeck

It's a home-spun kind of sound.    Enjoy your dream . Stevek
