Cast of Characters:

David Marconi — @david-marconi-917184705 — electric guitar, bass, foundation synth plus midi percussion and assorted traditional voices, production, mix, and composition
Elpiverse — @elpiverse — Elpi -- vocals, vocal composition and production
Ron Lewis — @ron-lewis-779503933 — synth 
TexMex Shaman --  @texmex-shaman –Stephen– sitar and mastering
Mistermark – @user-432503709 – Mark – talking drum
Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – electric guitar
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- synth flute and ambient synth
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums and percussion
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – 5-string fretless bass
AliasZen (Elpi's husband) — artwork (created with the help of AI)


This song began with David, who wrote it on the guitar, synth, and bass over a programmed beat he created. He and Josh met more than two months ago and decided to do a collaboration, based on mutual enjoyment of and respect for each other's music. Dave had this song pretty much fleshed out, although it was still a skeleton when he offered it to Josh, who, of course, got the rest of the Eclectic Collective involved. 

  Dave asked us all to compose our own parts for the song, so we all got to work right away doing that. We all realized that the first order of business would be to get a real beat on this, so Ken accomplished that task with some dynamic, Eastern inspired drums and percussion, which he plays throughout the song. JJ then stepped in and added his best eastern flute magic. Stephen was next with the perfect-vibe sitar you hear in the first two sections. 

  Josh came next to add his five-string fretless bass to the mix, augmenting David's high, staccato bass with his deep, low tone bass. Then, for the third section, where David's Gilmore-esque guitar solo resides, Josh drops out, allowing for Dave's awesome bass playing in that section. However, Josh does come in again towards the end, in the final section, too. Also, in that section, Tez dropped an augmented, harmonic, electric fire, complementary guitar part. Then, David's frequent collaborator and friend Ron added some well blended, ethereal synth to the first section, too.

  Once we had the instrumental parts pretty much laid down, we began to discuss getting a woman to sing on this, as David was inspired by The Great Gig in the Sky, by Pink Floyd, and we all agreed. Who we found to do it actually blew all of our minds. JJ, being familiar with her music, contacted Elpi first, and we were all lucky enough that she agreed to do it. Having heard Mediterranean music all her life in Greece, she tapped into what her husband said were her "ancient Greek roots," for her spectacular vocal performance. She finds all the modal notes and places them perfectly throughout her sections. 

  But before we were done, Mark came through with some really striking talking drum parts in the first two sections, too. Once we had everything in the can, David took over, both with some masterful editing and production, and with the balanced, dynamic mix. The mix was a formidable task, but he did it with considerable skill, also taking everyone's opinions into account, which is a talent in and of itself. When he was done with the mix, he turned it over to Stephen for the mastering, which the latter did to everyone's satisfaction, as always.

  This is the first song the Eclectic Collective has done with David, Elpi, and Ron, and we all hope it's the first of many, as we welcome them into the EC family. They all have some wonderful music on their pages, too, so do yourself a favor and check out all of them, as well. We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed creating it.

JFC3 24Hrs in Amsterdam

'Enchanted Tales' was borne from a desire to achieve an island of peace in a hectic world and transport the listener to a personal place of uplift and serenity. Iconic and beautiful, this song was composed in a cinematic style using a classical crossover approach to create an instrumental experience with strings, brass, wind, and other orchestral instruments, adding many layers to a central theme led by the piano.

Enchanted Tales (Excerpt)

It is one thing, to be thrust into the fetters of eternal sorrow - unchanging, frozen to age. It is another, to vanquish the evils that brought her here. This is the cry of the banshee's shrill song, echoing amid her ascension.

Threnody of the Revenant Lady

excoriate

An excerpt from the horror short film "Parasomnia" depicting the grief suffered by the loss of a loved one. Dir. by Michael Skanes.

Elegy for a Lost Child - "Parasomnia"

Singing my heart out, like there's no tomorrow. Thanks for listening and supporting me! :)

(Sep 2024) After a long list of covers, I finally took the leap and wrote my very first song with the help of a SC friend. This wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible support I’ve been fortunate to receive from this wonderful community. Thank you all!

(Aug 2024) I never expected to make friends on SoundCloud, let alone rare ones. For that, I'm grateful.

(July 2024) I'm blown away by how welcoming this awesome community is. TY all for your support and wonderful comments!

Losing 100% of my hearing in one ear due to a brain tumor wasn’t the end of my music journey—it was the beginning of something new. Reigniting my passion for DJing, I’ve evolved from Trance and Hard-Trance to creating immersive, emotive soundscapes that blend Melodic House, Techno, and Trance, with global vocal influences driving a theatrical, emotional experience.

My current project, "Future Echoes", is more than a mix series—it's a journey through mental health, recovery, and happiness. Each mix is a deeply personal exploration, using music as therapy to tell stories of healing, growth, and joy.

Alongside my new puppy, Sam, who’s in training to become a service dog, I’m creating music that reflects life’s challenges and triumphs. Inspired by the memory of Zeus, my late service dog, this series is about honoring the past while embracing the future.

Join me as I push boundaries, mixing more than just beats—I'm mixing a story that unfolds one track at a time.

If you are a fan of low bitrate crunch and noise, particularly, you have come to the right place 😂 I embrace the crunch, the static, the hum & whirring of the ground loop... I like my music a little messy lately. Adds "character"?  🤣

Weapons of choice include the Akai MPC, the ASM Hydrasynth, UVI Falcon, along with many others.

I enjoy this hobby of creation, and perhaps you will enjoy some of my creations too!

Cheers
