If we take into consideration your absence on playing double bass for so long I must say the result is great, Approved 👍

Jazz Fusion of Monte Carlo comes to my mind, Good Job 🎵

@user-936947521: Thanks Frans ! Such a great comment from you, I really appreciate It

great us of instrument, must be really fun playing the bass in this song (the other instruments too)!

Done in the style of one of my all time favourite old bands, Pink Floyd.

Surfers Like Us– @user-411502040 –Artur–composition, arrangement, and foundational rhythm guitar

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–guitar, sitar, mix, mastering, and production

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –four string fretless bass 

 This song is the brainchild of Artur, who composed it on his guitar perfectly for collaboration, and presented it to us with his vision for the entire sound. Ken went first, of course, adding his signature rocking beat to the song. Josh went next, as soon as Ken had laid down the drums, adding his four string fretless bass sound to fill out the rhythm section. 
  Tez came along soon after, adding some foundational ornamentation with his guitar. JJ jumped in right after Tez, and laid in the majestic organ, riffing electric piano, and subtle synth you hear throughout. Finally, Stephen laid his guitar in there, too, which can be heard as a fiery melodic line running throughout. At Artur's suggestion, he also added some amazing, trippy sitar in a couple of spots, too.
  Once all the tracks were laid down, Stephen came through with his always skillful mix. This makes almost an album worth of material that The Eclectic Collective has created from Artur's ideas. We're always excited when he drops a new one in our laps. He wrote this on a sweet rainy day in the Polish summer. 
  We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– 5-string banjo solo, electric guitar

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – 4-string fretless bass

Composition – The Eclectic Collective

This song began its life as a hauntingly exquisite guitar chord progression that Tez came up with and shared with the rest of us. He also stacked a couple of other guitar tracks in there for good measure. 

Ken was first up, adding his drums, then later his pots and pans percussion. As he was doing that, Josh was coming up with his bass line, and they did their little dance of back and forth until the rhythm section was set. 

Mark came in around the same time, though, and added his unique, Waitsian vocals with the lyrics that he wrote for it, too. He also added some really amazing organ parts, a toy piano which you can hear right after the banjo solo, and percussion that add a solid foundation for his voice and add magic throughout the song. 

Stephen followed shortly after with the big stroke guitar chords, and also came up with the amazing banjo solo you hear in there, too. Last, but not least, JJ came in with his organ and electric piano to seal the deal with the melodies and ambience. Then he and Mark added the cool sound effects you hear throughout, too.

  Every great song needs a great producer, and Mark filled the duty on this one. He has proved himself to be a masterful editor, producer, and mixer, and we are lucky to have him as part of the team.

  This one is an homage to Tom Waits in a deliberate way. We're all big fans, and tried to do something in his unique style. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.
 
Original lyrics by Mistermark:
I got something hidden in my closet 
that I don’t want you to see 
A little like a shady deposit
And it’s bound to incriminate me

Well now some might call it a skeleton 
Like a raincoat filled with bones
See I been hangin’ it there since I don’t know when
And I just can’t leave it alone

Me and Bill rolling bones in a gambling hall 
I threw snake eyes but Bill counted three
I took his accusation just a little too far 
Then everybody went quiet as they stared at me

Now the finger bone’s connected to the trigger
And the hand bone’s connected to me
And every day my secret’s gettin’ bigger
Soon enough I’ll be swinging from a tree

Coz I got something hidden in my closet 
that I don’t want you to see 
I done made a shady deposit
And it’s bound to incriminate me

Well now some might call it a skeleton 
Like a raincoat filled with bones
See I been hiding it there since I don’t know when
And I just can’t leave it alone
(repeat)

Autumn
My favourite season, where the climate is mild although there are sudden storms of rain and wind followed by calm and gentle breezes, where the landscapes are filled with colour and beauty and where fruits such as walnuts, chestnuts, hazelnuts, mushrooms are harvested…
I have tried to represent with music the different states that we find in this season and in my opinion, I think I have succeeded.

Otoño
Mi estación preferida, donde el clima es suave aunque se desatan repentinas tempestades de lluvia y viento seguidas de calma y suaves brisas, donde los paisajes se llenan de color y hermosura y se recolectan frutos como nueces, castañas, avellanas, setas…
He intentado representar con música los diferentes estados que encontramos en esta estación y en mi opinión, creo que lo he conseguido.

THE WORLD REVOLVING - Deltarune

I've been playing many years ago as a professionnel bass player and took a break for 10 years but kept listening to music. I was back practicing slowly in 2002 and never stop. I went back to school and  the 4 year I've studied an AEC  in recording and sound engineer. I'm happy to be back and play and record for fun, and listen and enjoy other talented musician sharing their composition
