Happy New Year 2026 everyone! 

A multinational, mixed group of 26 astronauts stationed at the First International Lunar Base loses contact with Earth. Tensions mount, sparking a debate over what to do next. No signals reach Earth, no radio or television signals, no internet, no city lights visible on the night side, and no visible destruction or weapons of mass destruction effects. There's also no contact with the International Space Station. The resources needed for survival are slowly dwindling, despite the recovery of water from the base's closed loop and from the lunar soil at its poles, as well as hydroponic farms that provide oxygen and some food. Should they develop plantation power and try to survive as long as possible, or waste valuable resources to find out what actually happened on their home planet? The base has only one emergency vehicle, capable of carrying two people, capable of returning to the ISS and from there to Earth. What is the reason for the planet's silence? Will anyone embark on the return journey, and if so, who? – stay tuned to our channel, more to come! 😉 (© R.U.R.)

This track was conceived on 25 November and initially I wanted to publish it for spooky season. But for the past 2 months I've managed to make from it something more complex. It was growing in me since then and I've mostly managed to incorporate all the ideas in this version. In inspirations are Massive Attack and little wink wink at the end to "Severerance" opening track. I hope You'll like it at least a bit 😉 Of course NO GENERATIVE AI was involved in creation of this track.

To compose this I've used:
DAW: Ableton LIVE 11 Standard
Plugins:
Arturia: OP-X Synth, Augumented Strings, Pigments, Piano V3
Spitfire BBC Symphony Orchestra Discover (FREE)

Arise

Mortal coil
Struggle toil   
Desire bound 
Awaken this dreary dream
In the light be found

Abandoning all illusions 
The cycle is revealed
Destroyer of space and time

Like a seed

Arise
Arise

This is the dawning of a new age
Clean and pure as morning dew
If you can see then you’ll be ok
To yourself be true
To yourself be true

Solo

Come ring the bell
And close the book
Snuff out the candle
Be free from the hook

Cradle grave
Noble slave
It matters not
Awaken this dreary dream
Remember all forgot

Beyond joy and suffering
Past impermanence
Let go of ego

Like a seed

Arise
Arise

This is the dawning of a new age
Clean and pure as morning dew
If you can see then you’ll be ok
To yourself be true
To yourself be true
To yourself be true

Arise

LET THERE BE LIGHT IN THE WORLD

Swagg Music to Kick Ass to 2

'Sometime Later'  After a hectic day sometime an easy listening bit of Alternative Fusion is just "what the doctor ordered" Hopefully this fulfills that requirement.

Sometime Later

The latest from me and @dough-factory !

I came up with the backbone and most of the synth melodies, then Ryan added bass, additional elements to the beat, one of the synth leads and some killer atmospheric vocal work. This time I took on the mixing and production.

Corridor

Cast of Characters:
Cgmaness – @hiddenhands-760647700 – Chris – electric guitar, vocals, lyrics, and composition
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken — drums
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – organ
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh -- Fender Precision electric bass guitar
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender Stratocaster (?) electric guitar
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen — mix, mastering, and production
This song began its life with the band all the way back in July, when Chris shared it with us all, having skillfully written it on his electric guitar. Ken added his rocking drums about a week after receiving the invitation to the project. JJ went next, adding his thrilling organ to the mix. Then Josh showed up and completed the rhythm section that Ken began. Tez came onboard a few months later, adding his fiery guitar to the stew, as well.
After the music was all in the bag, it sat for months, awaiting vocals. Chris finally came through with some fairly recently, though, to tie a bow on it. Of course, every great song needs a great producer, and lucky for us, Stephen was up for the task.
This is the latest in a long line of great songs composed by Chris and shared with the rest of Eclectic Collective for us to expand upon. We love working on his songs, as they are always challenging, yet very fulfilling when we finish them. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Original lyrics by CGManess:
Come close, 
let me whisper in your ear.
There’s nothing, 
there’s no one that we should fear.
Save for one.
Save for one.

had this day dream some time ago about some interdimensional  Guardians--the drifters in the deepzone--and have made some songs that alluded to their existence (i am pretty sure i picked  one up with my car and gave him 20 bucks a long time ago)-- Now I'm
 in full on fantasy Imagining up--- a Hero  or several heroes for these trouble times:) 
I think they are about to show up😊🕉️👽💀

Excerpt from "Tales from the Deepzone" 

Deepzone drifter and the crystal city-- by  jeff gardiner

Charmingly disjointed the annointed
productions of the masters
made while altered in the regions of the ether
in the corner of their minds
where the deep zone meets the morning
with a sigh and a sign--

and when you're on that dirt road late at night
and you've lost your way
that ragged deep zone drifter
can be a welcome sight

he may offer consolation and some comfort
even though, the golden boy no more
he's no longer longing for
the sparks that linger in the minds of mortals

And if you ask him, he may take you to the Crystal City
or share his woolen blanket on a bitter night..
He is the silent witness
he is the keeper of the gate
He is the Fighter of the Fight
