In the future... We will have clinics dedicated to weaning humans off fake music... I can imagine that... A hospital full of real instruments

Celebrating your 500th. in some style here, Carl...love your anger, love your courage, love your sweet soul!

Great song man! getting strong NIN vibes, and we need more of this message. I agree with you 99%. The US is fcked up in many ways, and we definitely created all the terrorists of today, and in turn all the EU neo-n@zi parties through the mass migrations from countries we bombed, and we absolutely need gun-law reform, but I believe that the principal reason for our 2nd amendment is more true today than ever. Even though Agent Orange (and most of his predecessors for that matter) is a total psycho doing some of the worst shit possible, he can't ever enact the "Final Solution" so to speak, because he knows that if he goes as far as he likely wants to he's getting lynched in the White House lawn. And I know it might sound too 19th century to believe that the population needs guns to fend off its own government, but the N@zis did ban the sale of guns to Jews in 1938 for a reason... Interestingly enough, Israel too has heavy restrictions on gun ownership, perhaps for the same reason.

Wrote the next one solely about American gun laws

We are in demo mode. Very excited about this once I lock in the final arrangement

Lyrics

Lost souls... You've nowhere to go
Feel the pain... Then release to know
This life or next... Learned you'll show
Old souls recycled, Known upgrades grow

Be real with yourself
See the whole system
Your bank balance won't ever help you listen
This planet talks... It tells the truth
It's true intelligence is algae and humans
It levels all for youth

Lost souls... you've nowhere to go
You follow an orange... You'll burn
And when you're dead.. With now we'll grow
Poisoned roles... Mis-informed
Modern devil dope
Sometimes it's just funny... Such idiocy
I'd give you the rope...

Why do you steal honesty from yourself?
Why listen to the obvious lies they tell?
It's future history weakness
Like no other... Your answers are there
Which your thick minds just choose to smother

Lost souls...You've nowhere to go
You're so shallow, Musk says Mars
Oh wow... all systems go
More confusion for your poor paws
We have one planet yet to know!
And it's your home
So fuck conspiracy show




Shout out to NIN and Marilyn Manson. Of a genre like this they are without doubt my top two inspirations. I think they hugely inspire each-other too so I have always got them in the same pot in my head since I embraced them both donkeys years ago.


Music is a phenomenal way of letting out anger. The stupidity this song sings at would sooner blame an artist like Marilyn Manson or Kneecap for societies problems then actually fix the simple things that actually cause the issues like idiotic gun laws in america. Except stupid america (auto correct wants me to capitalise that shit.. nah your not a country so. more like a borg cube then a country). For the whole of Earth you need to prove you are a normal human being to get a gun... Even at that we use them in shooting ranges or on land where an owner has given you permission and there are no schools or kindergartens nearby...  It highlights the ignorance so nakedly... You hold onto a meaningless confederate law to fuel a corporate environment that profit from your ignorance and stupidity to have something that is destroying your society and killing your children everyday. There is no future for that type of stupidity....none....

Heres the truth... An evolved society completely restricts all guns and keeps them from the population aside from sport! Thats all we need them for. For me when you realise the pain your country has caused with nearing a century of war mongering... you'll learn gun laws at the same time and Earth will begin to move to a peaceful period.... That has to happen by revolution so whenever I call for that remember the millions of people that have died because of the american war machine and the charade of good you all believe it delivers the world... Well it delivers no good.... All that mindset does is allow you all to go about your lives planting ignorance is bliss to Earth... At some point your all going to have to make that change and in my view the longer its left the more painful that change is going to be. Do it now and we could actually move quite quickly together as a peaceful planet... Extremism which in my opinion is largely born from US aggression around the world and resentment of that should go and the places on the planet that need/want to revolt to change other centers of power... Let them do it themselves...

The passive threat of military power will be enough and that needs to be democratically run and globally controlled by all nations. Theres a charade at the moment from mr orange saying he wants more investment... Smoke and mirrors obviously given the foreign policy decisions he is actually making especially with the weaponising of aid which is imminent in Gaza. But you don't hear those realities properly in your bubbles hence the pain you allow get spread across the globe by your society

I may be completely wrong. But that's what I feel from across the water

Another song recorded recently.
I’m always blown away by Nooblys production but this was off the scale for me I literally send him files of main vox & backing harmonies and leave him to it. My reaction was Wow  this sounds ridiculous.
I never know what to expect as he loves to experiment with them and chops and changes the arrangements for maximum effect. Such a talented producer as well as musician and great friend.
The song tells the story of how you evolve from a relationship to realise that it isn’t going anywhere. She thinks it just a blip but you know it’s just your evolution from the situation & time to move on because now you are ready. 
Conscience of Kings give you …….

My Evolution 

Intro
Our traffic lights of life
Went  from Blue green yellow to red
passing souls  in the night 
Knowing something isn’t right 

This is my evolution 
Not a mini  revolution 

V1 

It’s not the person who changes it only the mask that’s falling off 
There are reminders everywhere 
To a time when I really cared

Chorus 
This is isn’t a revolution 
Just part of my evolution 
There is no solution 
This is just my Constitution
To my…… evolution 

Lead break

V2 

So I’m going to finish it 
and leave it right here 
Don’t wanna see what tomorrow brings 
I know we’ve been closer than Close
That seems like a long time ago, now I feel like your ghost

Ch

Outro 
You can call it a mini revolution, it’s
It’s still my evolution 
It doesn’t make a difference. There is no solution.
It’s just my evolution from you

I made this track on my old electronic piano - programmed rhythm: Acid Jazz. I experimented by here and there making a part double of the recorded rhythm and change the pitch of the drum... in that double.

As usual i used effects on my voice and layered ...(sorry i can't help doing that haha).

Very simple lyrics,  but bottom line: we are living so fast that we don't notice it's going bad with the people around us, or even with ourselves.... 
We ask polite: "Are you OK?" but never want to hear "it's not OK?"
In this sick society we can have an important role to play to make a difference for someone.

Lyrics 
Not OK...


Are you OK

Nobody will know, nobody will see
You're not OK

NO Way
Did you notice, she is
Did you notice that she's not
She's not OK

Not OK...

"Shamanism is a spiritual practice that involves a practitioner (shaman) interacting with the spirit world through altered states of consciousness, such as trance..." Thaaaaaaaanks Wikipedia...

Music can deliver a form of Shamanism to us in my pea head opinion. Joining me in this track is TexMex Shaman from Texas in the good old USA.

Stephen is an incredible human, musician, artist and producer and made this the way more polished piece it is with his wonderful lead guitar and mix and master skills. I just handed him my splat and he made it the five pointed star it is with more Actual Intelligence from a human being brain. Nice one bro!

Lyrics

Yeah... Meet a musical bear 🐻

Sounds vain,
Bigging up my own brain.
Blame the world,
This status quo
The fake and fucked up reality show
I can't watch artificial grow
Without musical smells to make it go
Life is art and art is life
Fake the steak for a weak minded right
Go live your FUD
Go live in pain
I'll sing real truth!
Soul gain!
From indie to metal to rock to rhythm and blues and jazz...
Human algorithm

Yeah.. I'm liking this musical bear 🐻 😆

Make a style
Be a new way
Create a world that says new day
Create a world that honours history
Where artists spirits expand our mystery
These spirits are sad with your fovia fake
Art 'aint random when a human make!
So regurgitate your souless take
It all sounds the same this AI bake
So grab an instrument and express real heart beat
(Guitars / Samplers / Keyboards / Saxophones... all music that is expressed whether that's banging rocks or playing a harp)

FUCK AI MUSIC
Ask your soul to prove it
Chuck the lazy loser... you!
You lost!
Now hear those waves where life is not a cost...

Waaah

This project is one of multiple styles of the same song. The more fake bs skip to result splats I hear from ai typers the more I want to try and upgrade what goes into my own real music. Sir Isaac's 3rd law says what we need to do with that poison! So for me thats the only positive so far from ai music... It inspires me to make it the insignificant random arrangement of plagiarism it is... Sometimes I go soft in my head on some ai typers... but they need to have that reckoning with the technology as individuals too.. They robbed all of our musicians work and they're probably going to steel all of ours here eventually too... Like social media, for me from a creativity stand point it just adds to the general limiting of our abilities and desire to develop skills being happy with some heroine result instead of a grind to get there... If ai artists were honest with themsleves, listen to what they make and what every other complicit plagiariser makes... It's the same fake sounding music! Who are you inspiring with that? Usually as far as I can tell the individuals artists ego and thats it... It's the indifference towards the artists that taught it without permission... Thats the real shallow Merovingian in the system and the people that feed it. Piano/Keyboard - two directions... left and right. My tip... start there

Imagine a bank with all the cash. It's everyones cash... Then some dude comes along and builds a bank beside it and prints the same amount of cash and says! Look at me I have all the money lets play here.. If your head is poisoned by money too... thats not fair obviously... what ai companies have doen to artosts is worse. They took their fucking souls and will now profit on them for years to come because of the lack of political will to regulate or stop big corps doing this bs. It's too late to save the soul of their art fully but we need to get it reigned in fast

Actual Intelligence

Cast of Characters:

Cgmaness –https://open.spotify.com/album/42qOeOxPcclsxwxlPynFfL /Chris – Gretch bass, Guild Pelora electric guitar, SoundStone on a Harley Benton electric guitar, vocals, composition, mix, and production

Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark – organ

Llanpsych–@llanpsych –Tez– Fender Stratocaster electric guitar

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

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Roland Phantom synth

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– Les Paul Custom 

This song began as a mostly fully fleshed out idea from Chris. He presented it to the rest of Eclectic Collective as a bass line with a rhythm guitar chugging the goove. Awesomely powerful groove, but pretty stripped down compared with the final version. 
  We did this in an odd order this time, for no particular reason. Probably because Chris' bass groove was so strong, Mark was able to first add his groove oriented organ throughout. Tez, again surprisingly, was able to add the fiery solos at the end and the intro, even before the drums were up. Although, we didn't have to wait long for that, because Ken filled them in perfectly, as he always does. Once the structure and rhythm section was complete, Josh decided to add the synth solo in the middle, at the crescendo, which he really enjoyed doing. Stephen came last to the party, but replaced Chris' rudimentary rhythm guitar with a fierocious, but more riff oriented, and less chordy line throughout.
  Once it was in the bag, Chris was the natural choice to mix it, since his productions are always top quality, and it was his song to begin with. During the production, he also decided to add the guitar, including the an e-bow like device that sounds a bit like a synth, and vocal tones to the middle and end. 
  This is an example of an Eclecitic Collective song started by Chris, whose music we adore and with whom are always excited to work. His music is all amazing, and you should go check out his page and see for yourself, if you haven't already. We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed creating it

Too Good To Be True

Dear Universe. Please stop all war on planet Earth and give all humans Peace now 🙏🏽

Thanks a centillion for ALL the support. I love you all for helping me in so many ways with what I've loved doing for 38 years, making music. This is a human made list of life dives. I'd happily explain any process to you if you wish or are wondering something about TBD. Just ask, I'm Carl and I love sharing what I've discovered and learned especially in the songs themselves. I see songs as one of the finest ways to learn something and bolt your truth to on any subject in a direct yet maybe less imposing manner as your singing it and making it mellifluous. It's hard to sing what you feel is a lie so in my view writing truly honest lyrics and making them songs can be a mini thesis for you on any subject.

No AI here...
