Hey Stephen man, love your work, both on the guitar and on the board in this. Your solo is exactly right for the space it occupies, and your rhythm guitar is subtle perfection. Your mix is superb, too, as always, brother man. Always a privilege getting to create songs with you.

Phenomenal mix and Andy Summer!!!! 🙌🙌🙌.. Stephen! First time in a long time ( when was the last time I did something for the first time.. Darius Rucker reference.. amazing song!🙌.. yes!) I posted it with out @ my tinkering! Yes! Love this, bro!!  🙌🙌🙌💯💯💯🏆🏆🏆🕺🏼🕺🏼🕺🏼🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

Well, listening to this song, I feel the same way you do. We all come from the same cradle and we all live in the same House. Let's love one another   without jealousy, without hatred, and without other petty things that pollute our lives. As for the music, you've created another gem, my friends. I love the nod to The Police.

Rocking in many classic ways, with shades of The Police up top and mega classic rock guitar near end.

I guess it's just going to be Tom Anderson's loss if he doesn't want that endorsement deal. I do not ever on any day ever take for granted that I have the luxury of knowing a professional audio engineer. Thank you for all you do Stephen!!

first of all, sick guitar solo at the end there brother! Love hearing you let loose. As I've been saying on the other's posts, I'm super impressed with the slick crisp sound quality on this. Really sounds incredible - Carl's vocals, the atmospheric vibe, everything. This is my first time hearing this at all and I'm kind of blown away. Wish I had dug into it and tried to add something, but it really is perfection. just wowzers.

Man the mix and master on this is sublime--and the your guitar is beautiful on the finale--

Has a feel of the Rush material from Grace under pressure mixed with the Police...dig it.

Great sonic mood here and like the voice and lyric...well done.

....something very different - i know :D

DIE GLUT means "the glow" (of fire)
my thoughts behind it were the great good mood when we jumped over almost burned down fires when we were kids. jumping was always a sign of being "brave". although it was never really dangerous ;D

whole translation:
I'M JUMPING OVER THE GLOW
JUST BECAUSE I'M ABLE TO -
I HAVE COURAGE

ICH SPRINGE ÜBER DIE GLUT
WEIL ICH ES KANN
ICH HABE MUT

Part 4 of the final track of Then She Reaches For The Gun's 2nd Album
released in Jan 2025 - nomatesensemble.bandcamp.com/album/i-am…m-with-you.

Then She Reaches for the Gun was formed in 2021 by Mat Ward. At its essence is sound collage, Ward invites musicians, sound artists, poets and anyone interested to send him files to be used, abused and showcased ‘as suggested by the work’. They are not always musical but field recordings, spoken word, engine noises and drunken rants. Animals participate a lot too! The raw material is arranged with one phrase asking for the next in an alchemical and intuitive process that will most often feature dozens of tracks weaving in and out of each other, colliding, harmonising, arguing and laughing along the way.

Both the aesthetic and the compositional methods use what Frank Zappa called Xenochrony - the mixing together of separately recorded and rhythmically opposing musical phrases to create polyrhythmic and polytempi compositions.The work also features fragmented story telling with the human voice (in many languages) appearing unannounced throughout the tracks offering up snippets of thoughts, conversations, jokes and existential angst. The absurdity of humanities desperate claim to have any real understanding of its place in the universe is revealed through the recorded follies and genuine emotions of the artists. The project is a celebration of chance, diversity and community. It pays homage to all musical tastes and genres whilst maintaining a sense of humour and irreverence that is needed to stay sane in the climate of 21st Century contemporary culture.

Cooking Hard Boiled Eggs in a Cheap Motel In Adelaide Part 4

Cast of Characters:

Surfers Like Us– @user-411502040 –Artur–composition, arrangement, and Fender Jaguar delayed, foundational rhythm guitar

J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – Yamaha Genos 2 Synthesizer

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick fretless four-string bass

K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen — Tom Anderson custom T model electric guitar, production, mix, and mastering

Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender Stratocaster electric guitar

The Beautiful Dark -- @thebeautifuldark -- Carl -- ovation acoustic guitar, vocals, and lyrics

This song began in Artur's jam room at his house, where he creates all of his amazing music on his Fender Jaguar, which is perfect for the surf sound, at which he's a master. He shared it with Josh, who shared it with the group.
 
  Before Josh could lay down a bass part to it, though, JJ came up with his elegantly moody synth and laid it down. The rhythm section, Josh and Ken, then did their usual dance, dialing it in with some back and forth. Stephen was next in line, adding a subtle duet with Artur's chords. Tez then played the ethereal lead throughout most of it. Stephen, after it was pretty much laid down, came through with the ripping wah solo towards the end.

  Once the music was all taken care of, Carl came up with some great lyrics for it, and sang them, as the newest member of the group. He also laid down an accompanying acoustic rhythm guitar part, too. After Carl did his thing, we turned it over to Stephen for a mix, which he did with his professional skill set.

  This is the latest in a long line of surf rock tunes Artur has shared with Eclectic Collective. If you dig the sound, he has plenty more great ones on his page, which are worth checking out, too. We tried to do this with a little nod to The Police, the band, not the profession. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it. Thanks for listening.

Lyrics - The Beautiful Dark

Who said we're different
We got our genes and our names
One human mission
Heart fused like fission
Real collective brains

Pure pine for pure
Pleased though holds hands
Reel in one love
Filter for our sands

I feel the same as you
No provocation ever making us blue
I feel the same as you
No provocation ever making us blue

I feel the same as you
Let music train our clue
No place like home we woo
I feel the same as you

I feel the same as you
Let music train our clue
No place like home we woo
I feel the same as you

I Feel the Same As You - w/ Eclectic Collective and Surfers Like Us

TEMPEST

Another snippet from Caligo Paean - beware of gifts when chasing gods : ) 

Caligo Paean is a 1 hour long sound piece installed on river front property in the town of Franklin, Tasmania as part of the exhibition "When The Fog Clears". It formed part of the Ten Days on The Island Festival March 2025.
The work was installed in several locations across the property including a stack of subs under an old bus, in the main exhibition space and in an abandoned shed some 40 metres from the main area . The speakers were 'tuned' quite differently depending on their location and the sound was not delay corrected with the result of each mini-installation merging with each other in odd sonic ways - kind of calling the listener from one spot to another. The the work features field recordings, percussion, piano, bass guitar and Intonarumori as well as this special one off choir : )

Caligo is the Ancient goddess of Chaos. Born of the fog she controls the darkness, dwells in the void and is as old as the primordial matter that created the universe. This work is a tribute to the goddess as she continues to influence our lives and, in the case of this installation, the site and concept informing the show.

Official press release below for The Fog Clears

Every day, the mists of the Huon Valley perform a seductive dance, gently obscuring and revealing contours of the fertile land and waters. Situated in The Watershed Franklin, When The Fog Clears features six artists from lutruwita / Tasmania exploring the region’s iconic mists through a variety of mediums including installation, sculpture, illustration, sound, and video.

Developed exclusively for Franklin, this exhibit extends from the waterfront itself into the chambers, kilns, and rafters of the shed, inviting visitors to consider fog as an atmosphere that can cloak us in unexpected ways.

Lost the Map

[intro]

[instrumental]

This is how I live
Every day trying to write
This is not what I believed
That it would be such a fight

Every day the same same thing
I stay stuck, caught in a trap
I cannot ever see the end
I believe I've lost the map

I go out and look for hope
I look for something to hang on
Some new words that I can use
A new take on the same song
I take them back and write them down
and I can see they don't belong

I never thought this would be it
That I would spend my days like this
Looking for words that don't exist
Writing songs best left undone

[instrumental]

Eagles flying way up high
I fail to catch their eye
They never look at what is mine
It is all just wasted time

They fly around in circles
Fly so high and then they go
I am always way down here
This is something that I know

What I do has little meaning
Just my rants and silent cries
The eagles never look at me
They belong up in the sky

[instrumental]

I go out and look for hope
I look for something to hang on
Some new words that I can use
A new take on the same song
I take them back and write them down
and I can see they don't belong

I never thought this would be it
That I would spend my days like this
Looking for words that don't exist
Writing songs best left undone

[instrumental]

This is how I live
Every day trying to write
This is not what I believed
That it would be such a fight

Every day the same same thing
I am stuck, caught in a trap
I cannot ever see the end
I believe I've lost the map

I believe I've lost the map

I believe I've lost the map
