****
I got lost in Zurbagan
to never return..

barefoot..
on the sand of these streets
washing away the return path with showers..

in the falsetto of the wind
hearing his name -
leaving salt on my lips..

stuck here
between -
the future and the past
the hands stopped
at two o'clock..
- when

scarlet on blue -
Gray
wrote her name

in Zurbagan
there is enough fabric
to paint the sails
and sail away to the edge of the horizon..

... in the era of romanticism
to get lost on purpose,
so as not to leave..

to wander under the whisper of the stars..
and never leave.

here
a step to heaven
but I will stay
to breathe its freedom..

Zurbagan

****
я потерялась в Зурбагане 
чтоб никогда не возвращаться ..

босиком..
по пескуу этих улиц 
ливнями смывая 
путь обратный..

в фальцете ветра
слышать его имя - 
чтоб солью на губах оставить..

здесь застревая
между - 
будущим и прошлым
стрелки встали
на два часа..
- когда

алым на синем - 
Грей
написал её имя

в Зурбагане 
хватит ткани
чтоб окрасить паруса
и уплыть до горизонта края..

... в эпохе романтизма
нарочно заблудиться
чтоб не покинуть..

под шопот звёзд
бродить ..
и никогда не ухадить.

здесь
до неба шаг 
но останусь
чтоб свободы надышаться.. 
Зурбагана

The Enigma, Voyage of the Veiled Lyre: A Secret Journey Through Song, Poetry, and Philosophy / Pt. 1

We started raising Frogs recently. I had never realized that the only parts of Earth Frogs haven't carved out a niche is the salty seas. They are prolific everywhere else apparently! Fascinating... From arctic frogs to desert frogs of Namibia... Everywhere but the Sea.. A bit like us except we can't almost fully freeze and relight another season like frogs can. A frog pumps glucose through its veins to achieve this. Glucose has a lower freezing temperature then water allowing this feature be a tool for their survival in some very very cold climates

The song is for artist Fr0ggy5

Lyrics
Avoid the salt
Your kryptonite
Hey Teach!
Basalt
Rock abundant
Viscosity vice
Madame universe
Fr0ggy5
From which 'verse now will you arrive

Void finds captured moments
Sounds almost forgotten
Plenty just found
All rivers besotten
Sound upon sound
Sutured through singularity
Inspired rhythmic walks
Fr0ggy5 new reality

Avoid the salt
The rest, Fair game
Hey Teach our malleable little brain'
Earth tailored acoustic
Time Bruce Lee chopped
Your music heuristucal mind food dropped

Black hole to black hole
Goodies return
New musical physics
Hey Teach! We learn
Metaphysical mimics
Sample sane for the gimmicks

Add this verse:
Good glucose flow glistens
Flipping 'verse gets cold
You travel by mind
Now this multiverse we show
Free fibonachi filled Fr0ggy5 know

Fr0ggy5 is alive


Notes 🎶 🔆 

I think here we are starting to see a type of music that AI can never ever ever EVER achieve. Music that is lasered by an artist to another human being. AI can't write that because it has to be born from musical love and love for human beings. AI can only ever guess how we love each other! I know! Even if AI were tomwrite lyrics for me and guess... It never got felt in the first place so it's meaningless and souless. This got felt and soon it will be received and that's beautiful and that's art and that's official real life intelligence. Keep human art alive with love... That's what we do... Combine that love with what we connect most too... AI doesn't know what the combination of what I and Fr0ggy5 love and what that shared love might deliver in the few moments of a song. It hasn't had our experiences and hasn't felt what we have felt in all those moments combined. Only our brains did that. Again, it can guess the feelings, it can try and help you feel some random feelings about a subject but it can't create the feelings. Only we can do that and that takes intelligence like a FROG has. Only love and zero hate and nothing fake...

This creative process has been spread over months. It includes lightning bolts of real from several of our interactions where we taught each other things chatting and sharing our real music. Another mutual friend of ours, Marcin Kulik and I had a what's app chat that seeded the title and the dimension of the ideas... This is incomparable to anything AI can ever achieve and it highlights how you are not an artist if you use it for making music. Art is best when it reflects the actual life of people and to do that properly you need to experience it to pen it and play it. The last time I checked AI isn't scanning your experiences in your head yet so your result will always be fake guessery... Not Art. Even if it could scan your thoughts... once the ideas leave you it's not you interpreting it anymore so again even at that it can't get close to human ingenuity with evolving creativity by skill! This is art and I'll keep saying it until people realise the difference and stop insulting the world of art and how it evolved our culture and society

Added gallop like bass and continued developing the vox line. Very strange singing about this mountain... It's not that the mountain makes me emotional but the moments growing up that it was the backdrop for are just so deep

This is about the mountain I grew up on the side of as a kid, Carraig Una (Carrigoona) in the Wicklow/Dublin mountains, Ireland. A powerful place. My brother and I used to walk the hills most days rolling down the ferns and making little mini avalanches in the rocky patches. There are amazing views of the Wicklow mountains and Irish coastline around Bray and Dublin bay looking east. Such amazing memories and so lucky to have grown up in a place like this. Mountain man. Schweeeeeet The view from Carraig Una's peak is the banner on my profile. Bray is the town you can see and Dublin bay is off to the left 🪉

Another thing to note is... This is barely even classified as a mountain. It's 172m at peak and you'd be hard pushed to find it in a list of Mountains when researching it. For me though it's the best mountain in the world and the most powerful one ever. I'm a boy again when I drive past it and now I'm a boy again every time I open SoundCloud and see this gem haha. The mountain everyone in the area would connect to most is off to the left and towers above Carraig Una, It's called The Sugar Loaf. Another rock beast and Caraig Una if effectively a shoulder of that larger mountain... But Sugar Daddy ain't got nothing on our Carraig Una. Our house shared a name with the mountain too 🏡⛰️

I think this is why I'm not really drawn to city life. I'm much too sperated from nature and it feels weird. I have vivid memories of coming home from holidays and the whole drive home from the airport being alien... Then appeared the mountain! Home

Thinking about these mountains in the light of their age of 400 million years. That's 350 million more then the Himalayas. That's lots of thinking time for a mountain getting rained on and weathered for its entire existence. I'd say it has some stories to tell us. Got of a few off him and he is quite the Druid ⛰️🐕

We moved from here to Bray a few kilometers away. We brought our dog Diego to the new house and he dug his way out of the new garden and went home. We found him a day later back on the mountain. We agreed with our old neighbours that they would feed him and he lived out his days as king of Carraig Una. Diego Maradogga 🫶🏽🔆

Lyrics

Carraig Una
Carraig Una

Dear Mountain,
You moulded me.
We lived on your side
Walked your trails regularly
Caledonian power
Pure unbiased
On your fern filled sides we rolled
Your pleasure paths held our hearts up highest

Your rocky patches show physics lessons
Those cheeky avalanches sums' best
Mountainous imagination sessions
Permanent impressions
They saw many millions of years
They saw Pangea before human fears

Carraig Una
Carraig Una

Flanked by Bray Head and Sugar Loaves
The big two find the crowds
Carraig Una was ours
Keeping us real, giving us good hours
Tuned to your rock and force filled powers
Neuroplastic love finds eternal pathways of flowers

Carraig Una (Demo)

Thanks so much 🙌🏽🎶

The Comus Clock

Comus the plaque
Trophy like clock
We're taking it back
Music shared like it was
Human to human
Ear for ear
Nostalgia be proving
No future to fear

Fabulous folk
Impressionist norm
New from the old
Falsetto of sun
If one cell of me
Creates notes like this
Kids be happy
This future holds bliss

We've read the old real
We think we agree
Let's learn this old field
Not burned with money
Diana holds dream
He knows panic signed
That Malgaard Suite
Greatest raw new defined

True to their new
More out there then Morrison
Old become new
Good musical origin
Tribal
Aural tantric
True to their clue
An honour compare
Let's bring it to brew

Cast of Characters:
Cgmaness – @hiddenhands-760647700 – Chris – acoustic guitar, drums, lyrics, vocals, and composition
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- organ and piano
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 – four string fretless bass
This song started all the way back in October, when Chris came up with lyrics and a vocal melody to go over his acoustic guitar composition. He also added the drum beat that carries it along, and contrasts Josh's bass part, which he added next. JJ came along shortly after and added his twinkling piano and ambiance thickening organ.
We had all these parts down, but for some reason this sat on the shelf for a few months. Finally we decided to dust it off. Chris mixed it for us expertly, as always, and we decided to put a ribbon on it.
This is an example of Chris's brilliant songwriting, shared with a couple of other musicians who are mutual admirers of his work. This is also a trio within the Eclectic Collective family, as we sometimes do side projects with different iterations of the group. We all hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Original lyrics by cgmaness:

Let the night tuck you under,
When you feel you can't go on.
When you want to be happy,
I will be what you want...
And, it's you that makes me happy.
When I'm down on my bad sign.
Washing out all the tie-dye from the blue sky.

Shattered Existence

When my daughter was 5 she had a bad cold that kept her from attending school. I stayed home to watch her. I gave her a good dose of cold medicine and put her to bed. Assuming she’d be sleeping for a while I started playing with a new synth plug-in. While playing back a simple riff I had recorded I was surprised to hear a little voice beside me talking about a magical cat in time with the music. I asked her if she could do it again and handed her the talkback mic. I hit record and captured this free-association improvisation which could only come from the mind of a 5-year old.

The Cat Emoticons
Said his first word
It was “my head”
The creepy cat
Snuck and stole
But that cat gave it back
When he was sixty-four he said
“I know I can say something”
That cat said “No I don’t see any futures”
But that cat was enormous cat of light
You could see him in the day
He said words
The magic cat
His breath was stiff and clean
He said “Enormous creatures of my life”
Eyes of Moanicon
The mist of tens
He was deathly stroked
He was occasions
He spoke up in his language 
But there was no mischief 
He had this gnome of noses
This creep of creepers
The cat had wings and flied
The wizard cat
If you belove him he would say
“My head”
The gnome of sequence
Set his brain to mine
The End
Monticone’s next word was nine
Thank you ladies and gentlemen
Sit down for the next song
