Grooves 6

Iron Dub

A strange tune for strange times. Also the time is literally odd therefore the title.
Hope you enjoy.

Odd times

Discoloration

All music, lyrics, vocals and production done by this guy....Enjoy...

I can feel you
I can feel you under my skin
I can feel you
I can feel you under my skin
I can feel you
I can feel you under my skin
I can feel you
I can feel you under my skin

Bring forth remnants from the past
Our peace we know it never lasts
Our war the fight that never ends
Our war the type to leave no friends

You say everything you shouldn't 
I say everything you should
You play all the games I couldn't 
I shame all the things I could

Anxiety and restlessness will envelope your being
Fleeing from a future that you're tired of seeing
Biting off the hand from which you're tired of feeding
Leaving bloody stumps scarred broken and bleeding
Scarred broken and bleeding
Scarred broken and bleeding

When you are broken
When you are broken

Under My Skin

This song started as a guitar skeleton that had been a twinkle in Tez's eye several years ago. He'd been hanging on to it in hopes of finding a suitable home for it. When he introduced it to the Eclectic Collective, we all jumped on it. First up was Ken, laying in his dynamic, powerful drums and percussion. Then Stephen laid down some fiery fills as well as a solid comp part on his guitar. That's about the time Mark started messing with it. He added some great VST fiddle, some real mouth harp, and piano and began working on the lyrics and vocal melody. Josh was atypically late to the party, but managed to get his bass in there, too, thus completing the rhythm section. JJ was next up with his splendid organ and synth to fill in the sound. 
  By this time, Mark had written and recorded some absolutely stunning vocals, which he added to the mix. We all decided that it had a Rod Stewart/Faces vibe to it, so we tried to amplify that flavor. To this end, Josh dropped in a mandolin part, as well.
  At this point, the song was kind of flat, though, in terms of overall dynamics, so the decision was made to amp up the crescendo at the end. Ken summoned his best Keith Moon energy, and Tez laid down a killer solo, while Stephen added the big Townsend chords. 
  Mark had been editing and mixing the whole time, and did such an excellent job with it, we decided to go with his mix from the group project. Stephen did master it masterfully before we put it out here, too, though.
  We're really proud of this song and hope you all enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it. Please remember to "share" it if you dig it. Thanks for listening!

Original lyrics by Mistermark:

Never was one for being sociable
but lordy knows how I tried 
every time I tried to talk to a girl 
she would always run away and hide

Nobody told me 
nobody cared
nobody told me 
the girl was scared

Back at the party you asked me to dance 
but I didn’t know what to do 
my two left feet had me runnin’ round in circles 
so I always came back to you 

Been so long since somebody held me 
made me feel i’m gonna win
but drinkin' that jug o’ juice gonna help me 
when I’m takin' it on the chin 

Nobody told me 
nobody cared
nobody told me 
they never dared

another party you ask me to dance 
and I don’t know what to do
my two left feet got me runnin’ round in circles 
and I'm still coming back to you...

Cast of characters:
Ross Smithe -- @ross-smithe – foundational piano, synth, arrangement, lead vocals, first vocal harmony, and production.
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- electric piano, drums, and high vocal harmony
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– mastering
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – four-string fretless bass, rhythm guitar, lead guitar, lowest harmony in the vocal break, and mix

This grateful Dead song has been a favorite of Josh's for most of his life. So, when he and Ross were tossing around ideas for a Dead song to cover, they landed on this one. Ross, being the superb musician that he is, laid down a skeleton for the whole song on his piano, and added his vocals, as well as some synth that you hear at the very beginning. 
  Once we had a solid foundation to work from, Ken added his raucous main drums. Then, to get the effect of two drummers, like the Dead, JJ added some simpler drums, too. Once the drums were there, Josh added his four string fretless bass to the stew. Now that the rhythm section was done, JJ added his Brent-like electric piano, sprinkling magic throughout. Then is was time for Josh to go to work with the 6-strings. First, he added a rhythm guitar, trying to do justice to Bob Weir. Once that was completed, Josh also got to lay down Jerry's lead part, which he enjoyed immensely.
  After the music was complete, JJ added his high harmony throughout the song. Josh also added the lowest harmony in the a cappella vocal break. Since all the pieces were now in place, it was time for a mix. Ross generously did a preliminary mix, including some automation. However, the main mix was done by Josh on this one, in a rare show of his mixing vision. However, we did ask Stephen to master the whole thing for us, too, which he did expertly. 
  Our real goal with this one was to have a song we could show our deadhead friends with pride. We hope we did the Dead, their fans, and their music a service by keeping their amazing music alive. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it. 
  Please remember to share it, if you dig it!

strange couple🖤 Part２

Cursed and Crowned is a relentless journey through spiritual battle, redemption, and raw emotion. Inspired by the heaviness of Bullet for My Valentine and the cinematic depth of modern metalcore, it blends crushing breakdowns, soaring clean choruses, and lyrics that confront the darkness head-on while pointing to the light. From the haunting “Graveheart” to the anthemic title track, every song bleeds passion, pain, and the victory found in surrender.

A place for sound freaks lashing out from the dark. 

So there's all kinds of stuff on this page, but after months of schizophrenic debates about who was playing with who and who took the lead while doing it, finally, the decision was made: all my alter egos got together and decided to form a band. From 2020 on new tracks are created under the moniker Gruppo Infernal. Only pure MMTJ tracks will still be named as such. 

Gruppo Infernal still relies on my work as Me, my Thumb and Jack, an ongoing quest for a liberating approach to sound creation where the human body acts as an oscillator amplifying the natural 50hz hum. Direct live recording, improvisations and delay loops only using analog filters and effects. No editing, no overdubs. Gruppo Infernal adds digital treatment to this original sound material. 

UnterPitch was an alter ego using samples & synths.
Bleached Coffins was a one-off project using guitars.

Influencés par le rock contestataire des années 90, comme par l’anticonformisme du premier punk de la Grèce antique, son aïeul de Synope, The Diogenes distille humour, cynisme et offre une critique sévère de notre civilisation capitaliste en déclin, à travers un grunge-rock-punk psycho-aristocratique!
