trying to compose an ambient song with my electric guitar! I really don't have much idea of ​​how to play this instrument! But I guess it must be good to change instruments and try others!

Acid And Dark - PART 2

Cast of Characters:
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick four string fretless bass, Sigma acoustic guitar, PRS SE semi hollow body guitar, composition
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums and percussoin
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- organ 
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark – VST horns - trumpet, bone, & sax, latin drum ensemble, and editing production 
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– Production, mix, and mastering


This song began in the dead of winter on a cold night with Josh sitting in his studio with his acoustic guitar playing along to a looper beat. He loves bossa nova music and wanted to write a song in that style. Of course, he wrote it with the Eclectic Collecive in mind. 
  Josh also came up with the bass line to the looper, but changed it once Ken weighed in with his perfectly suited drum kit. He also added the funky main percussion you hear throughout. Then JJ got involved and laid down that wonderfully melodic organ part you hear in there. Josh, having not laid down a lead guitar part yet, used JJ melodic idea for the first verse, too, because it's so strong. Mark was last to the trough, but added several really stunning parts that added a lot of depth to the whole thing. He's responsible for the horn arrangement that accompanies JJ's organ solo, as well as the horn arrangement and entire break section at the end, which he not only drumed on, but edited and inserted seamlessly, as well. He also added percussion to Ken's percussion throughout the entire song, as well. He still gets paid the same as the rest of us, though 
  This is an example of us Josh introducing an unfamiliar type of music, and it being picked up on and carried through expertly as a group unit. We all love a challenge in the EC, and this fit the bill. We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed creating it.

This is my new single. It’s about accepting life’s challenges, working through them and then using that learning to adapt and survive.  I’ve posted an earlier version here before but it’s remixed and mastered (RCD Audio). 
I hope you enjoy it. Take care.

Lyrics:
My Uncertain Steps 

As a boy, I was scared of the sea
With my family, on a beach in Normandy, 
a French boy told me the ghosts of drowned sailors grab your legs and dragged you down
I wouldn’t go in! 
Too naive and trusting! 

As a teen, I was all over the place! 
Always confused, just didn’t know which way to face
Too many temptations, suggestions and thrills, distracting and wild
Couldn’t think straight 
Couldn’t concentrate! 

It was always their demands and directions 
Had to meet their dreams and expectations 

My uncertain steps
No confidence 
(Trying to find my own way)
My uncertain steps 
At my own pace
(My way) 

My wreckage of a life, with this chaotic love
Constant demands, you can never do enough 
Mix in the bullies, the twisters and those egos too
It pulls you apart
Breaks your heart 

I’m seasoned, I now know this path
One crisis avoided, another starts 

My uncertain steps
More experienced 
(Trying to find my own way)
My uncertain steps
At my own pace 
(My way) 

And now I expect to see the worst
In everyone and everything I know
Just know how it is, but feel I can somehow 
see it through

(outro) 
I’ve got friends (for my uncertain steps)
I’ve lived and learnt (for my uncertain steps)
I’ve got you (for my uncertain steps) 
I’ll get through this (my uncertain steps)

My Uncertain Steps (Single version)

A new composition......

Lyrics:
We wander this earth on a small blue dot
Chasing our dreams, with all that we’ve got
Different colors and different shades
Yet deep down inside, we’re all just afraid
They say that we’re one, but we build up the walls
In shadows and silence, we stumble and fall


Oh, we are one people, can’t you see
A tapestry woven, you and me
From rags to riches, we share the same air
Longing for peace, yet we’re lost in despair


Some live in towers, eye touching the skies
While others just scrape by, with hope in their eyes
We trade our compassion for money and pride
Looking away as our neighbor’s divide
Guess we forget what really remains
Love’s a bridge over all of our pains


In the tunnels of red and blue
The chaos screams but we can break through
If we dare to hold out a hand
Find the strength to understand

If it was not so

Peace Through Suffering

Peace Through Suffering  [COtu + Belial Pelegrim]

BioWave Purifier is an AI-generated ambient journey built on bio-inspired frequency structures and deep rhythmic pulses designed to evoke a sense of cleansing, renewal, and inner clarity.
The album uses harmonic waves, resonant drones, and frequency-layered sound design to create an atmosphere that symbolically mirrors the idea of clearing out what does not belong — physically, mentally, or energetically.

Warm drones, pulsing sublayers, and vibrating overtones blend into a meditative soundscape that feels both primal and futuristic. Inspired by Rife-style frequency concepts, each track explores different tonal fields associated with purification, balance, and rhythmic release.

This is not medical audio — it is an experiential sound ritual, crafted to give listeners the sensation of cleansing, clearing, and energetic realignment.

Let the frequencies move through you.
Let the pulse refresh your inner space.

Fiberlight Ritual 1

This ambient album immerses the listener in a calm, expansive soundscape shaped by deep drones and soft, emotionally resonant pads. Slowly evolving layers drift through a quiet atmosphere where time feels suspended, allowing space for reflection, stillness and inner presence. The absence of rhythm and percussion gives each composition room to breathe, unfolding with a fragile sense of intimacy and depth.

Between gentle shadows and faint light, the sound shifts from darker, enveloping tones to brighter, almost weightless passages. Beneath the surface, a subdued sense of contemplation emerges — echoing moments where thoughts linger a little longer than intended, yet remain quiet, softened by warmth and subtle harmony.

A tranquil journey through atmosphere and emotion, designed for late-night listening, creative focus or moments of peaceful solitude.
