Cast of Characters:
Steve's Planet-- @steve-vervaet —Steve—acoustic guitar, vocals, lyrics, composition/arrangement

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

J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ—organ and piano

K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums and rhythm guitar

cgmaness-- @user-419254289-15129531 – Chris -- electric guitar

Llanpsych– @llanpsych –Tez–electric guitar

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

This song was written by Steve on the acoustic guitar. He passed it along to Ken, who added a sturdy rhythm acoustic guitar, as well as his always solid, dynamic drums to it. In short order, Ken got the rest of the Eclectic Collective together on it, starting with Josh, who added his five string fretless bass to complete the rhythm section. Next up was JJ, who's keys, both organ and piano, can be heard livening the whole thing up. Then came Tez with his fiery ripping guitar fills.

We were all blown away, though, when Stephen added his equally ripping guitar fills as responses to Tez's parts. It really sounds like the two maestros are having a conversation. Not to be outdone, Chris sprinkled some of his magical guitar to fill in the spaces, mostly at the beginning.

Of course, we needed a competent producer to pull the whole thing together for us, especially with all the different voices in the stew. That person was Stephen, who was able to wrangle all of us and make it sound coherent, like the expert producer he is.

We all really enjoy working on Steve's songs, although it's been a few months since we did one together. It's been proven many times before that if,you start out with something good, and you end up with some thing great. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.

Original lyrics by Steve Vervaet:

I hope we ever meet x2
I hope to see you again
I hope to see you smile

I hope to be your friend x2
Hand in hand, hand in hand
Once again x3

I hope you shake my hand
On the boulevard
Gazing at the stars, gazing at the stars
I hope you ever be, a part of family

A comfort zone for me x2

To be around in everything I found
Please, please love me, forever being around
Hope you ever be, a part of me
Hope to touch your eyes, I hope to touch your love
One day you’ll see that you belong with me



Hope we ever meet (The Eclectic Collective with Steve's Planet)

British alternative folk-rock duo.

What happens when a classically-trained violinist and lo-fi folk guitarist with different tastes, playing styles and approaches to writing music try and create songs together in an attic?

Hi, I’m Axel.
After a longer musical hibernation, I started making music again about three years ago – and honestly, it feels amazing! I’ve been hanging around on SoundCloud for about two years now, and I’m constantly blown away by the creativity, variety, and real talent to be found here.

Music is just a hobby for me – which is exactly why I have zero ambitions to make money with it. I’m here simply because it’s fun. So, a small request: Dear annoying promoters with your shady offers – please save us both the trouble, I’m not your guy. I’m not chasing follower counts, click records, or streaming millions. Sure, I’m happy when people listen – but what I value most is connecting with a few honest musicians who feel the same way I do. Quality over quantity, you know?

One thing I do find kind of sad: there’s so much AI-generated music floating around on SoundCloud, often without being labeled. Come on, folks – if a robot wrote your track, at least give R2-D2 the credits.

I play keyboards and have already had the pleasure of creating songs together with some wonderful musicians I met right here on SoundCloud – something I’d love to keep doing. For me, collaboration and exchange are a huge part of what makes music so exciting.

Tech corner, anyone? All my tracks are produced in Cubase 13 Pro. Over time, more and more VST instruments have snuck into my setup – from Spitfire and Native Instruments to Spectrasonics and more. My go-to drum sounds usually come from Toontrack, which have become the rhythmic backbone of many of my tracks. I’ll admit it: I’ve caught a bit of a collecting bug here. Sadly, it’s eating both my wallet and my hard drive space. Will it ever stop? Probably not. 🙄

Style-wise, I love exploring different genres with no limits. For me, the goal is simple: have fun, stay inspired, and keep growing creatively. And every time I stumble upon a track here on SoundCloud that really moves me – the kind of song you’d probably never hear on the radio – it feels like discovering a hidden treasure.

I’m really glad you found my channel – and I hope my music brings you as much joy as it brings me when I create it.

Under the name Den Dipeza, I am exploring different musical genres. I'll post musical experiments, jam sessions as well as full tracks here. Everything is recorded in A=432Hz. Synthesizer music combined with organic elements; experimental and all in good fun.

Under my own name, I am a bass player who also likes to play guitar. In the background I am working on rock/metal projects while I post my electronic experiments here.

I'm not very active on Soundcloud lately as it's often not loading for me. Sorry if I don't respond quickly!

The new album ‘On The Surface’, is now available Please have a listen if you can

TBR; the sound of a singer/songwriter, but not in the traditional sense! Influenced by a mixture of grunge, garage and metal, TBR takes a solo aesthetic, but applies a rock/metal filter, with a home produced approach. Lyrically, the songs are inspired by a mixture of personal and political issues, with views on modern life that underpins the songs.

I just want to say that nothing would have been done here without the encouragement from the really great people here in the SC community.  Thank you.

Poetry is not an obsession but a vocation. It's a river you jump into as soon as you're called, and you spend your life floating with the current.  JIM HARRISON ( 1937 - 2016 )
