La musique est magique et réchauffe le monde et nous fait danser sur des rêves éternels !

Warm, delicate, so beautiful voice! Wonderful lyrics!

Landscape VI.

Well laid down an enthralling, fast-paced, sweaty-eyed dancefloor track, calling it an open collab. 
Stonerjazz picked it up, marrying it to his expressive voice and instruments. As the ancient art of 
maieutic (look it up) serendipity (look this one up as well) would have it, Jeff and I had just finished 
an amazing poem which finely expressed what he heard in Well's sound. I can only guess how many 
hours he spent adding this, fine-tuning that, getting the balance right. In the end it sat there, all 
groomed in its weekday suit and asked to go out and play. Yeah, why don't you do that? (That's how 
jo tells the story at least).
 


My good and dear friend Jo Richter and I have been practicing a form of commando Free association poetry for a little bit now, Firing multiple replies to each others words across the void, rapidly --This Poem is one such project-- Initially done lightning Fast and then refined and modified for lyrical Flow and meaning-- To further complicate the process, i with Jo's encouragement used these word and some Sounds from my deepmind 6 to answer an open collaboration with music by our friend Well aka Hakan Skeneby

Poem / copyright Jeff Gardiner and Jo Richter:
 Original tile: Kung Tze in the Subway Car

 in the nick of time
 he gave in to dissent
 for the mute perceptive mime
 manically made him raise his head and unmaimed hand in mine


 praise the unerring rebellion
 in subconsentious unison 

the empty shells of every single silly little thing
 ahh, the knell, the bells, fashioned from our fathers’ coral vaults 
selling out, shelling round, all around in disarray 

vainly making everybody wane and wade into the fray
 with withered, bamboo-watered canes - - - fracking shist
 where our homes are still purported to exist
 while scattered scraps of all things past, scantily, scantily clad, 

protrude and flutter in the wind, strained and restrained by the net 
of pleasant pleas -  and subltleties are colors bright and crude - 
watch the Mad Hatter's stint unwind in minor keys - 

i thought that that  - that hat that sat so squat- was you
 at the academy of sovereignty
 where massive piles of bones and crows
 dominate the dark demeanor of the distant 

tears of laughter, tears of loudly lovin’ laughter, that's exactly what we're after

in the purple land of diffidence
 buying purple brands of pale deliverance 
in the hidden forgotten region, religion
 
where forgetting – like neglecting - is an optional behavior
 and of course, everybody's carcass, corpse keeps looking for a savior
 down by the trodden, the unsavoury sovereign shouted 

raw with the rotten game of galactic gallows and thrones 
ah the one and only poet of starvation
 standing in the market of used emotion
 endless isles, end base piles of sadness
 masters mean and dirty and their slaves

 bargain bins of binary longing, belonging, unrequited love
 there’s a sale on betrayal - two for a dollar and three for none
 thought i saw a broken bit of joy that once belonged to me 
Though when i had it, it was absolutely free
 Now they're askin’ fifty, literally  frivolous dollars

mother of deception of the self
 see me on my knees, subordinate 
to her immaculate calamity
 that has transactional realities cooperate
 under towers dark with blinded blinds 
of my infantile infinity-

i asked my shadow: would she follow me 
like a puppy with a crush, herself a pet invertebrate,
 to inclinations more persian, more parisian than her will or mine 
where i might find a package deal on Love 

on the moon, it read in slowly moving neon letters - 
shadows neither show nor speak concerning prinal matters!
 no, said I, shadows squall and squeal and squeak
 drinking gin on the rocks is not that bad at all
 since it became impossible to find an Avocado
 or my favorite alcohol
 just don't answer when she fails to call

Hakan's Shuffle(the Nitro club mix) in collaboration with Well and Jo Richter-140bpm

Cast of Characters:
Joe Stroffolino-- @joseph-stroffolino -- Taylor 114ce acoustic guitar, main vocals, harmony vocals, lyrics, composition
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Epiphone Les Paul electric guitar
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara -–Ken–drums and percussion
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –- four string Fender Precision Bass, and Roland organ
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– Tom Anderson Custom T electric guitar, mix, mastering, and production

This song began when Joe, feeling a bit nostalgic, wrote the lyrics and composed it on his acoustic guitar. He recorded it and sang it with expert harmonies, then decided to share it with Eclectic Collective. We were all very excited to get work on our second song with Joe, as we all admire his songwriting.
First up was Tez this time, oddly enough. He was able to identify all the fill spots and light up the solo without the rest of us even adding anything yet. Next came Ken, who usually goes first, adding his steady grooving drums and tasty percussion. Once the drums were down, Josh completed the rhythm section by adding his fretted bass. He also worked out an organ part to give the whole sound a bit of thickness. Also adding some thickness and texture, Stephen added a clean electric rhythm part, as well.
Once we had it in can we asked Stephen to mix and produce it for us, which he did in his always expert fashion.
This, as mentioned, is Eclectic Collective's second song with Joe, and we all enjoyed bringing it to life with him. He's a wonderful collaborator and an all around good dude. Do yourself a favor and go check out his page, which is rich in great songs. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.

Original lyrics by Joe Stroffolino:

If you find yourself in trouble and you think you've lost your way.
Here's hoping that you find a path to a better day.
I sure hope that you're happy. I'm wishing you the best.
I hope you find what you're looking for as you continue on your quest.
I hope you find all the answers to all those questions vexing you.
I hope you can find a way not to bite off more than you can chew.
I sure hope that you're happy. I'm wishing you the best.
I hope you find what you're looking for as you continue on your quest.
You spread your wings and you flew so far away from me.
I hope that you're enjoying your new reality
All those places that you said that you wanted to see.
I hope they're as good as you expected them to be.
I want you to know that you hold a special place in my heart.
I think about you often even though we are apart.
They say that when you love somebody sometimes you gotta be willing to let them go.
You gotta let them spread their wings and fly wherever the wind decides to blow.
I sure hope that you're happy. I'm wishing you the best.
I hope you find what you're looking for as you continue on your quest.
I hope that you're happy. I hope that you're doing well. I sure hope that you're doing swell.You spread your wings and you flew so far away from me.
I hope that you're enjoying your new reality

Hope That You Are Happy (Eclectic Collective with Joe Stroffolino)

Live Reflexion#034

This is an old demo that Ive been sitting on for years and years... Theres so much more to it than what you hear here.. but I may never get to really complete it. Its part of a collection of music.. a project called " HeartBeat " a collection of tunes in either 3/4 or 6/8 ( the human heart beats in these times )

Lyrics:

Youre giving me reasons to play
youre giving me good thing to say
Youre changing my whole life today
and theres a couple thing I want to say
Its the sun on your face
its the wind in your hair
and when Im not a perfect man
its the way you dont care

youre giving me reasons to play
youre giving me good things to say
I think youre my best friend today
and theres a couple of things I want to say
your breath in my ear
and the words that Ill never find
and when im not a perfect man
its the way you dont mind..

Thanks for listening !

Reasons

Dinner for two

Here's a brand new song written for one of our most beloved billionaires ever! He is one of the worst human beings that has ever lived, in my opinion! He's not even an elected official yet he's destroying our country in huge chunks, hurting innocent children, vets, minorities, and the elderly. Taking a chainsaw to our way of life! This is a fun little parody of one of the most hated people in our lifetime. I will not make a video for this one, I think we've seen enough of his face! Charlie really plays a mean harmonica on this one too! There is some profanity in this song which I normally don't use but I couldn't help myself! Here's to the Chainsaw Boy!

“ELON MUSK"

I NEED JUSTICE, I NEED SHAME,
I NEED SOMEONE THAT I CAN BLAME,
WISH HIM WELL THEN THROW HIS DUMB ASS UNDER THE BUS,  
HEY I AIN'T TRYIN' TO BE AN ASSHOLE,
I’LL LEAVE THAT UP TO ELON MUSK,
              
I NEED WHISKEY, I NEED BEER,
NEED SOMEONE TO GET ME OUTTA HERE, 
GETTING TO THE POINT THAT I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHO I CAN TRUST,
HEY I AIN'T TRYIN' TO BE AN ASSHOLE,
I’LL LEAVE THAT UP TO ELON MUSK,

[LEAD] OK, CHAINSAW BOY!

I NEED WEED, I NEED GAS,
NEED THESE POLITICIANS TO KISS MY ASS,
HISTORY ALWAYS PROVES STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES,
HEY I AIN'T TRYIN' TO BE AN ASSHOLE,
I’LL LEAVE THAT UP TO ELON MUSK,
   
I NEED MONEY, I NEED LUCK,
NEED A LEADER THAT GIVES A F-F-F-F@#K, 
THERE’S JUST NO JUSTICE ANYMORE, HELL I GUESS THERE NEVER WAS,
HEY I AIN'T TRYIN' TO BE AN ASSHOLE,
I’LL LEAVE THAT UP TO ELON MUSK,
NO I AIN’T TRYIN' TO BE NO ASSHOLE,
THAT CROWN BELONGS TO ELON MUSK,
OUR NON-ELECTED ELON MUSK!

Music is in You Music is in Me                                                    
Music is our Philosophy
Don't bother stop it
don't even bother try                                                                                                  
it's part of   Life...
Music all the time

Child yet feel it 
Youth can play it
Elders still make it
Some are famous and wealthy
Some are poor materially 
but so rich artistically....

Music is in You Music is in Me
Music is our Philosophy
Don't bother stop it
don't even bother try
it's part of  Life...
Music Day & Night

Music comes from Deep inside
Expressing the subtile
from Souls to Souls
Music is Vital Entertainement
Must be the Sixth Element....

Music is in You Music is in Me
Music is our Philosophy
Don't bother stop it
don't even bother try
it's part of  Life...
Music all the Time

Music is Voice of People
Sounds of the Earth
Music can make us feel Higher
bring us together

Couldn't live without her....

Music is in You Music is in Me
Music is our Philosophy
Don't bother stop it
don't even bother try
it's part of  Life...
Music day & night

...All the time...

Music is Vital Entertainement
Must be the Sixth Element....
