cool song - fine chord changes and ambient sounds - Brian Eno-ish

Lovely song!! gorgeous vocals( reminded me a bit of Tunng) & wonderful guitarplaying and the refrain is very catchy in a good way! :)

Captivating, haunting. Interesting text. Melody kind of hypnotic - like a children's riddle. Very well conceived and delivered.

Vocals are so smooth, everything is beautifully arranged :)

Yes. I believe the point of power is in the present moment and it's ALWAYS the present moment!

Very nice guitar playing!!What guitar are you using Stan?

Close To The Rainbow

written by jeff gardiner

There's a Wrinkle  in the Moment 
the Muse is missing in the War Zone
Beauty has a different definition
in the loaming of the elder days

My Alcoholic friend came busting through the treeline
stone cold sober, when the quarter moon was rising
and the surf was crashing
crying like a child

Said he saw the future in a puddle in his driveway
after eating mushrooms from Hawaii-

That's when i started laughing
That's when i started crying
trying and deciding to give it all away-
beginning with Cessation
embracing the rejected
replacing the infected with absolutely nothing but Compassion-

Forgiveness out of order
being highly overrated
since the bad behaviors
are in the very natures of the perpetrators

Recalibration,  however is an option
in the aftermath's Duration
and the possiblity of Passion 
still lingers in the fingers on the fretboards
and the singers sing songs they've written
while smitten with emotion of the joyful
and broken hearted lovers and covers
and collections of recollections of Moments--

Wrinkle in the Moment ( from the Half-Life collection on Bandcamp)

You're in heaven now.

After Silence

Cast of characters:

Jack Karasek — beats and seed idea

K2 and the Three [and the Four] -- @k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–beats

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1– Roland Phantom workstation

Llanpsych–@llanpsych –Tez– electric guitar

Tea R. Sea @tea_are_sea -- Terry – Synthesizer

TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– mix, master, and production

This song began with Ken's oldest son, Jack, who laid down the basic rhythmic beat. Ken took over after that with the rest of the beats, though. Jack just graduated high school last week, and he's into hip hop and trap music, so he wanted to share some of it with his musician father, who is very proud of him.

  Tez was first up on this one, which surprised me when I went back and checked the workflow. He added the perfectly placed guitar hits throughout. Josh was next up, using his synth to add the falling bass line. Last, but not least, Terry came aboard, adding the moody, melodic, high register synth.

  When it was all finished, we asked out resident pro mixer, Stephen, to mix it for us. 

  This song was in its current form for about the past eight months. It was originally part of a series of vehicles Eclectic Collective composed for The Mysterious Decibel. He got caught up in life, though, and had to abandon the project. So, we sat on it, asking all the rappers we know if they'd be interested in having a go with it, but no one bit. So, with Jack's recent graduation, Ken revived it as a celebratory song for his son. It could still use some vocals, too, so think of this as an open invitation to anyone who want to do the honors. 

  We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it. 

  Oh, and just a side note for all of our friends who follow along with us, we will have  new one for you, the following Friday, the 11th. Thank you for keeping up with us! 


Throwing Rocks - Eclectic Collective w/ Jack Karasek and Tea R Sea

'Just When You Are Not Looking' A mixed genre track of neo-Classical and Fusion. I've called it Alternative Fusion and it was inspired by just how quickly your day can change from enjoying the moment to utter chaos and pain. Accidents happen often when one loses focus and takes life for granted. For example: when washing the dishes, whilst thinking of something else and breaking a glass, and when picking up the broken pieces, cutting one's finger and can't get the blood to stop poring out. Just an example of the myriad things that can change "Just When You are Not Looking"
Is it "mindfulness or mindlessness"

Just When You Are Not Looking

The Stormy Day Hitman - Short Movie main theme. Now on Fetchflix

 Victor “The Cleaner” Vance only hits during thunderstorms. His signature is clean, discrete and leaves only a bullet in the head of whatever crooks he has to eliminate after it’s been washed by the rain. Victor Vance is strait on that he takes contracts only to eliminates corrupted politicians. You know the kind that would accept bribes such as a Cessna 152 in exchange of a green card. His preferred weapon is the Heckler & Koch VP9. A German gun precisely made and precisely fit for the job. One last contract and he will retire but is he gone succeed?

“This story is a work of fiction. Any similarity to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events, is purely coincidental. And for those who did not get it, Fetchflix TV is also fictitious.”

Musical notes: I may have borrow the cinematic style of Hans Zimmer (Batman) as well as the iconic groove of Danny Elfman (Man in Black) and of course John Williams (Darth Vader theme).

i made lyrics about an expedition...not the kind of journey to discover the environment, but the one we do exploring ourselves and renewing.

Singing is for me a "sine qua non"... I did several vocal lines and made it faster and more robot-sounding (added samples, dallek sounds, synth); i even played on my guitar (Eko Est 1959) some notes. Hope you enjoy!
             
Expédition--lyrics

Je commence une expédition
Je récrée mon identité 
et j’établie un lien profond 
avec moi-même et la nature


Je prends conscience que je suis unique
Aujourd’hui Je fais le premier pas.

Je retourne à l'essence de l'existence.
une remise à zéro du corps et de l’esprit 

Loin du bruit,  
 la nature pure. 


J’embrasse mon  individualité et danse alors dansez

Lyrics
Whenever you are caught in a current of a river,
being slept along by a flood of thought of feelings,
step right out, as soon as you can.

Self-command starts when you choose your own direction, 
not being led by your daily need for satisfaction,
step right out, as soon as you can.

Do-da-da doet so is what you will hear
Do-da-da doet so, oh yes my dear
Do-da-da doet so is everywhere
Do-da-da doet so,
for all you care...

I tell my stories through my own composed (and improvised) instrumental guitar music, using a combination of acoustic guitars, sometimes supported by orchestral instruments. Some have described my music as meditative, relaxing, and introspective, with a touch of melancholia and a distinctly Spanish flair. Listen for yourself and let me know what stories my music tells you.
