Lifetime (EP Version)



Holy fucking shit
That's all I can say

Well what the fuck
Is wrong with the world today
What the fuck happened
How'd it fall apart
Was it destined from the start?

Now i dont know
What the fuck I can do
Make some molotov cocktails
Or buy a gun or two
But for what?
No one seems to care
Freedom gonna evaporate
Into thin air

And then everyone can say
We wanted it this way
Yeah, we wanted it this way

Save us from today

So I sit
And I rot
Wait for the world to end
But nothing ever happens
Thank the lord
Amen
Although I feel
Like im fucking gouged, lied to
And a fucking slave
But I'm safe
As long as I behave

Yeah,
The rich get richer
And the poor dont matter
Bullshit fills the news
Heads explode
Brains splatter

Well, I guess I can say
That I didn't want it this way
This isn't the way of life that I choose
But I lose

And then everyone can say
We wanted it this way
Yeah, we wanted it this way

Save us from today

Well folks, it's that time of year again. It's time for the Eclectic Collective to take stock of the fruits of the year previous, and reflect on what making music together means to all of us. We hope you all take a chunk of time and indulge in our gift to you. We wanted to address every one of our SoundCloud friends with our voices as an intimate way to connect with each of you.
  This has become a tradition within the EC now that we've made it to our second (and a half) year of making music together. For the second time, JJ asked our friend and sometimes collaborator Jeff (Stonerjazz) to ask some interview questions of us. Then, we all came up with the answers and sent them to JJ to assemble the project.
  This mighty music machine we've created, that manages to release a new song every Friday, wouldn't mean anything if no one was listening to us. Which is why we want to extend our very sincere thanks to you for tuning in and supporting our efforts. If one other person gets joy from our music, that's such a huge accomplishment. However, it really feels like a bunch of people whom we really respect are digging what we're doing, which feels truly humbling and fulfilling. 
  With that, we hope you enjoy hearing us voice our thoughts over the highlights of our musical year as much as we enjoyed a year rich in music and comradery. Happy New Year!

The 2024 Eclectic Collective Rockumentary

Two Forms Under A Shady Tree

There we were waiting
As it always seems to be
The evening closing in around us
Distance as far as the eye could see
We held each other tightly
A warning to the insinuating cold
That this here between us
Will become a storied tale of old

Our time is now and before us
Were bound together and will forever be
Two forms under a shady tree
Two forms under a shady tree

The snowflakes did their dance
In ringlets and spirals they fell
Forming upon every surface
A cocoon preserving yesterday well
But today was a new day
That projects what lay ahead
So hand slides into hand
And head leans against head

Our time is now and before us
Were bound together and will forever be
Two forms under a shady tree
Two forms under a shady tree

It's the burden for time now
To pose its weary questions and try to dispel
Like every union ever made
That had risen before they fell
But make no mistake for this is a special one
Poised and ready to take its stand
To assign itself victorious
And tread the hourglass of sand

Our time is now and before us
Were bound together and will forever be
Two forms under a shady tree
Two forms under a shady tree

We took that arduous journey
That's claimed many a pair
We emerge in the wake of every discord
Undisturbed by avarice or lack of care
The morning sun shines brightly
As the trees stretched to meet the day
We smile as we whisper in each other's ear
The only words we've ever needed to say

Our time is now and before us
Were bound together and will forever be
Two forms under a shady tree
Two forms under a shady tree

Two Forms Under A Shady Tree

method: going dirty with labcoat clean instruments and pensive with distractive sound modifications, one rendition of the text is machine read by https://imrane03.github.io/better-sam/

narration: would a present day sibyl still be human? probabely not. background information can be found here: https://corecursive.com/eliza-with-jeff-shrager/# here: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pygmalion and here:https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Pygmalion (and also with the later musical My Fair Lady), furthermore, most literature on cybernetics and machine learning is relevant ; funnily enough, a simple basic program I put together as a teen around 1980 was a „psychology“ test, with me not being aware of all that history, then ; - )

poem / copyright jo richter:

deep in the cryptic echo caverns
of the ancient human psyche
where magnetic tapescript governs
glow recursive nano lichen

reconaissance produces patterns
random needle-rattling spins
a handclap self that only caters
for that wounded I in many skins

is there a reason to break free
please continue, there is x
x worries you, yes, certainly

go to forage, then is next
etching circuits into torsos
four times one, interspersed zeros
