Ain't Got Time For School

After a year off I thought I'd ease my way back into recording with this electric version of a song I wrote back in the 80's, which I used to play simply with acoustic guitar.

I Was A Fool

Ascension Symphony: An Orchestral Odyssey in 4 Movements.
3. Movement: Breezy Ballet

In this part, the music evolves into a frenzy of lite dance and jubilant celebration. 
Infectious rhythms and exuberant melodies sweep listeners into a whirlwind of joy and harmony, 
as the traveler embraces the vibrant tapestry of life and revels in the sheer exhilaration of existence. 
With every beat, the orchestra pulses with the energy of liberation and liberation, inviting all to join in the jubilant festivities.

For listening to the other 3 movements, refer to the related album of the "Ascension Symphony".

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)

Statement

modest little improvisation on this jazz classic, which of course was also played by Chet Baker, Miles Davies and the greats of jazz. The lovely backing piano is the result of a midi file from the web (without copyright notice), equipped with the sound of an NI Foerster piano. My improvisation blown in one go on the EWI USB, without post-processing :-)

Composition--The Eclectic Collective 
  This song began with Josh coming up with the bass line and accompanying guitar chords that make up that part of the rhythm section. Ken was next to add his funky drums, thus completing the rhythm section. JJ also added to the rhythm, however, with his driving clavichord, soon after. He also added the trippy theremin you hear in the break part, too. Chris added some far out guitar parts that fill in the sound throughout, too. Mark then jumped in and she some of the synth you hear in the break part, too. Stephen came along to complete the sound with his cunning banjo, as well as fiery guitar in the break part. He also produced and mixed this superbly as always for us. 
  This is another purely Eclectic Collective production, and almost all of us were able to add our sound to this, except Tez and The Mysterious Decibel. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it.
