Wonderful harmonic blends and looping melody 💕🙌💟

Wonderful sounds and melodies. A very cool track*

Quirky, with a lumbering dystopian flavor. Moody and purposeful (great title too). :)

it's an interesting style. I like how it results tribal and futuristic

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

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –five-string fretless bass guitar
The Eclectic Collective – composition

This song began with JJ, as many of our songs do, who composed the outline on the keys, drums, and bass. He then let everyone else in on it immediately. Ken was first up to bat by laying his always cunning drums in there. After he had a beat to work with, Josh used his tree trunk of a five-string fretless bass to complete the rhythm section. Soon after, Tez and Stephen both laid their magical guitars in there. Once we had it all in the can, Stephen used his powers of production to give us a great mix.
  This one came together relatively quickly, which is a good sign that we're all enthusiastic about what we're creating. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.

Mellow Travels (The Eclectic Collective)

Je suis décivilisation 
Je suis l'ensauvagement
Je suis renarde dans votre Eden
Je suis la loi du ventre
Je suis ces invincibles amarantes
Je suis chasseresse de chasseurs
Je suis tétanisation
Je suis alors fulgurance rebelle
Je suis une murmuration féerique à l'heure dorée.
Je suis endêvée par votre passivité
Je suis l'improbable qui te guette
Je suis ainsi l'assise substantielle
Je suis mycorhizes 
Je suis ces sentiers prompts à vous faire saliver
Je suis la spirale de fuites
Je suis aussi incendie désiré
Je suis violette tel l'aconit 
Je suis sagesse car sans sang
Je suis l'évolution par tous ignorée
Je suis la badass à la hache et au cœur de glace
Je suis syntropie
Je suis notre sourire stellaire

This song began with me coming up with the fonky-ass bass line and sharing it with everyone else. First up to bat was Ken, of course, who really matched the idea I had for the bass perfectly and gave it some flavor, too. Once we had a rhythm section solidified, Tez jumped in with the Kruangbin inspired arpeggios, and really gave the whole thing the flavor that it ended up with. Scotty followed soon after with his melodic/rhythmic leads that match his awesome vocal melodies. Next up was Stephen, who laid in the fiery solo towards the end, as well as some really trippy e-bowed guitar throughout. Then JJ came along and lit it up with his electric piano and synth. Finally, Chris came forward and added the distinct, exciting guitar intro. 
  Of course, we needed someone to produce and mix it, so we asked Tez to handle this one, which he did with his usual high wizardly magic. It is very gratifying to all of us to have Chris back in the mix on this one, as well as some upcoming releases, as well. This was the first time any of us has collaborated with Scotty, and we are thrilled that we finally got a chance. He's a creative, driven, and very agreeable musical partner, who's willing to work with us until we all get it right. We all hope this is just the first of many with him involved. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it. 

Original lyrics by Scotty:

Can't obtain no fucking mortgage. 
And I can't pay no fucking rent.
I would rather you probe me 
than get fucked by our government
who attempts to control me 
and put nonsense in my head.
Who would rather see me
livin' in debt or end up dead.
Come and take me away.
Beam me into space.
Fly me to a planet
where there exists no hate or greed.

Take me to Utopia.
Teach me all your ways.
Save me from dystopia.
It's time to turn the page.
Something better must exist
out there beyond the stars,
where everyone can love and live,
unlike what's become of ours.

Invokation with light language

Good evening to my SC friends. I hope life is treating you all well.

First thing I want to share… there is a reason why so many of my recent songs don’t include write-ups. I promised myself a long time ago I would search out positive and productive ideas, and only share those. But lately, I’m wasting a lot of time and energy dwelling in darker territories. It’s way too easy for my ego to jump on the ‘fear’ bandwagon (that’s happening to a lot of us these days); and I feel an intense responsibility to never use my writing abilities to spread more of that kind of thinking. 

Granted, I am also in a regular state of arguing with that very convincing voice, reminding it that it is only focusing on one perspective (the ‘fear’ one). That right there is gift number one… having a separate voice in my head, working diligently to raise the bar. And it’s a gift we all have; the voice that gently sits above the voice of the ego… reminding us ‘this is all about discovering the love in any given scenario’. The problem is, the ego can get noisy enough to mute that other voice; and it’s easy to forget it’s still there.

But when I achieve those moments of clarity, I laugh at how susceptible I am to my own negative thinking. What I really believe deep down is that (as experiential souls) we’re all actually doing great, and this is all going according to plan. 

I know, I know. Have I lost my mind? That can’t be possible, right? We can’t be ok? There is simply too much evidence to the contrary.

That ‘evidence’ is gift number two. Thanks to tools like the internet and social media, we can see this all happening live, everywhere, and all at once (including the now obvious lies). For the first time in documented history, anything you want to know is readily at your fingertips. 

Granted, the folks who want to control us understand human psychology well enough to use that information (drizzled in fear) to manipulate us… which seems like a bad thing. But I want to suggest it’s actually a good thing. Our hearts really only want to love (and be loved): and our ego can only take so much negative info before the body grows sick with that energy. Using a nightmare as an example… you’ll endure a lot in that sleeping state, until you reach a tipping point. And then you snap awake from the nightmare, cringe at how convincing it was, and tell yourself “I don’t ever want to experience that again. That was scary.” We need these nightmares for perspective. And the worse the nightmare gets, the more people are destined to wake up from it.

Here’s where my ideas get weird. Instead of fearing all those voices who are currently driving civilization to the brink (of who knows what, just yet). What if we thanked them. What if those frightened/frightening voices are inadvertently doing exactly what we need them to be doing… breaking the nightmare, by making it unbearable. These days, when someone tells me I need to be afraid, I immediately gravitate to the thought ‘what do you stand to gain by making me feel that way?” And that is usually enough to spark other ways of thinking. 

Simply speaking, we can determine the trustability of a message by determining its underlying energy: Fear = Bad, Love = Good. So many institutions want us to be afraid right now, and I genuinely question the motives behind anyone pushing that agenda. So yes, I thank all those leaders out there; the ones forcing fear on us so relentlessly. You are waking us up faster than you realize. And while your precariously unsustainable structure won’t survive this awakening… the human race will. 

I hope you enjoy my latest sonic swirl, ‘Poly Ticks And The Powdered Keg’. :)

Poly Ticks And The Powdered Keg

Home
Melodic
Ballet new
Bring back the nymphs
At the center of our wandering dreams
While purring prayers
Our furs dotted with stars
A few daisies between the lips
Gems in our shoes
Lying on the layer of the horizon
Your scratch in the heart
Again
Hatch the dawn
And kiss the abyss

Kiss The Abyss

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 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 Steves Planet)
