The Price (Round And Around Go The Days)
August 19, 2021 All Right Reserved

Round and around go the days
Reaching for something that slips away
Is this the price we must pay

Speaking of things that you don’t understand
It’s a crying shame
Lingerin’ too long like an overplayed song
it’s a fools game

Over and over we go
Hoping for reason to take control
Try not to let it all go

Tellin me this and you’re tellin me that
to ad nauseam
I’m goin my way and you’re going yours
To the bitter end

Round and around go the days
Reaching for something that slips away
Is this the price we must pay

Bit of a mixed bag of styles and genres…
consistently amateur and homemade though… and just for the fun of it!

Half the songs here are just me noodling away on my own… (using garageband on my ipad, headphones, and a couple of cheap old guitars).

…the other half are recorded during very occasional jam sessions with some lovely talented old friends, who bring my song ideas to life, spontaneously, usually one-take, having never heard them before.

hope you enjoy a song or two,

Kelvin

(by the way, I know I'm really not any good at mixing, mastering, production etc... I don't have any equipment or knowhow! ... so I think all these tunes will sound better on headphones 👍 cheers)

Composer/Songwriter. Proficient performer of piano, bass guitar, double bass, cello, 6 string , 12 string , drums, triangle (shall I include tambourine too?🤣), vocals, lyrics. 99% of the tracks on this page are original songs. None of my performances on any of my tracks, whether solo work, or collaboration, have any editing whatsoever. Effects and equalization? Of course! But no editing, no software, etc. Quite a substantial amount of these tracks are with The Eclectic Collective. We are like family and have been playing together on a daily basis since approximately March of 2022 as the Eclectic Collective. Before the band bore it's name Eclectic Collective; Josh, Ken, Stephen, Tez, and  CG Maness were doing some occasional collabs. At any given time we are all simultaneously working on about 15 different songs. And when we feel they are done cooking in the oven we release them.  We release a song every week on Fridays at 4AM UTC

Members of The Eclectic Collective :
The Beautiful Dark 
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)
J.J. Terrell
Llanpsych
K2 and the Three [and the Four]
TexMex Shaman

Architect turned coder, turned singer and songwriter, turned her whole life upside down. It's never too late to surprise yourself.

Just a girl and her music, trying to do everything on her own. I like older rock, hard rock, and punk rock music, but maybe not so much typical heavy metal. I only like a few songs by the big metal bands Metallica and Iron Maiden, but of course I like a few of theirs too. My music is therefore more rock or punk than metal.
Thank you for all the PMs proposing DAWs to me!!! I have now everything including and USB-Audio-Interface to record a bit more professional. My musical story: after the winter holidays 2015/16 my teacher told us Motörhead ist dead, since the main person of it died. We children did not really understand it. But I always wanted to find out what Motorhead is. So a few years later 2020 or 21 I finally wanted to know it and tried listening to them - and I liked them. Actually I never liked Metal, but with Motörhead it is different. One of their songs is Ramones, well then I discoverd the Ramones wich I also liked! At the beginning of 2022, I wanted to play their songs and started to play guitar, bought a 2nd hand Epiphone and got an amp from my older brother who has a band. I played very much and soon discovered I needed to learn barre-chords to play Motorhead, which I did. The Ramones songs were also the right songs, usually only chords and vocals, not too difficult, just the right songs to play and sing for me. 
Actually my first expierence with music making was my brother's band. When I was 15 or 16 he needed a female voice and asked me, so i did 2 songs with them and had a lot of fun. A bit later I started playing the guitar. I am very sorry for my poor sound of my first 2 songs. I did not have an audio interface and a DAW at the time I recorded and uploaded them. The songs were played in one go and phone-recorded. Hope that some of you can ignore the sound and enjoy the music.

After updating my new time travel profile pic, I figured it was also time to refresh the bio. The amount of world-class talent on the Cloud never ceases to amaze me. I don’t say that lightly – I’ve learned so much from so many of you. There are artists here I genuinely consider among the best musical talents I’ve heard anywhere. And I have heard a ton of music.
I’m a lifelong music addict. For me, music can be transformative, cathartic, joyful, and intellectual – often all at once. My taste? Almost anything done well. Almost. My own music is eclectic: from acoustic guitar pieces to jazz fusion, to prog/alternative/psychedelic rock, to electronica.
What really keeps me here, though, is the community – the interaction, and the sense of connection that somehow forms even when we never meet in person. The goodwill and respect are something special, and I don’t take that for granted.
Finally, regarding recording – if you’re still reading! – my humble studio hasn’t changed in 15 years. I’m even still running Windows 7 to support my old Steinberg DAW. No AI tools – just me, I like to control the physical process at every step, from idea, to playing, editing, mixing, and final production.

I am amazed at the level of talented artists encountered on this site.  Sharing and providing feedback is such an effective way to nurture the creative process.  I am so inspired by many of you.  My songs consist of mostly live instruments and voice.  An organic approach to song writing with a few surprises in the mix.  Please feel free to comment and download if you like!  Todd

My music is dependent on where inspiration takes me. I hope you enjoy something here!
