Lyrics :
Mon désir en gouttes murmurées,
Comme un fleuve coule entre mes cuisses,
tu es la lune qui soulève mes marées,
l’écho de tes caresses tisse mes délices.

Je suis la paille et toi l’étincelle,
chaque soupir est une vague gourmande,
mon corps se cabre, vibre et ruisselle
Jambes ouvertes, je suis ton offrande,

Chorus :
Soixante-neuf, nombre magique
Clé d’un plaisir tendre à partager
Nous jouissons d’une même musique
Dans un bonheur souple et léger.

Toi aussi tu gémis et dégoulines
Tête bêche, je te rend la pareille
Un même désir symétrique nous anime
Quand nous dégustons nos merveilles.

Dans ma bouche ton plaisir éclos
Dans une onde tendre et soyeuse
J’explose aussi d’un puissant écho
Toutes deux, unies et heureuses.

Chorus :
Soixante-neuf, nombre magique
Clé d’un plaisir tendre à partager
Nous jouissons d’une même musique
Dans un bonheur souple et léger

Soixante-neuf

P-Stop Loafing Around

Per concludere ho scambiato fra loro le parti iniziali della mano sinistra e della mano destra.

To conclude I swapped the initial parts of the left hand and the right hand.

Ho cambiato il titolo iniziale in:
"Toccata pantonale senza respiro"
da  "Toccata pantonale senza sosta".

I changed the original title to:
"Pantonal Toccata without breath"
from "Pantonal Toccata without pause".

Toccata pantonale senza sosta

"Toccata" pantonale senza respiro (Pantonal "Toccata" without breath)

This song began at the end of last summer, August of '24, when Tez sat down and composed it on his guitar. He shared it with us right away, and while everyone jumped on it immediately, it sat on the shelf for so long because we all felt we needed a singer for it. Fast forward a year, and lo and behold, we picked up Carl, who is down for whatever vocals a song needs. 
 
 We began construction on this by creating the rhythm section. Ken first adding his explosive drums, followed by Josh completing the rhythm section with his four string, fretted bass, which he used a plectrum to play.  JJ entered the fray next, adding his otherworldly synth and thickening organ. 
 
 Then is sat. And sat. And sat some more, until Carl found us, or we found him, and he was finally able to add the missing puzzle piece. But before we put it to bed, Stephen added some thrilling solo work with his axe, too. 
 
 Now that it was a completed song, we asked Stephen to mix it, even though it's really Tez's song, and that honor would usually go to him. However Tez was experiencing some technical difficulty, so the honor went to Stephen, who did his always professional production work on it. 
  
This is a straight rocker from Eclectic Collective, being in all of our wheelhouses. This one was all made in house, too, so it's a great representation of our rocking skills as a band. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Cast of Characters:

Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark –- VST Middle Eastern instruments (Duf Drum, Daire drum, Darbuka, Riq, Qanun, Zurna horn, Ney flute, strings), female vocal sample, 'ululation' (high pitch yodel), mix, composition
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Custom fretless 5-string bass
The Beautiful Dark -- @thebeautifuldark -- Carl — vocals and lyrics
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – saz, shakuhachi, and synth
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken — cymbals and Chinese percussion
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen — traditional gourd-body sitar and mastering.

Josh had the idea of doing a traditional Palestinian song, as he is an avid fan of their music. He wanted to raise awareness of this music and tie it to the idea it may cease to exist as a living musical tradition sooner than later. Everyone in the band was immediately on board with this idea, and set about to make it happen.
Mark, who is an expert percussionist, composed a typical traditional Middle Eastern style drum pattern, together with an Arabic scale melody, played on the Qanun (a kind of zither). To that he added the instrumental 'Zurna' solo in the middle, various other traditional instruments, and even sang the high pitch yodel sound at the end. Josh found this pattern fascinating, and added his five string fretless bass to the it shortly after. Carl jumped in very shortly thereafter, and came up with some really amazing vocal melodies, as well as wonderfully prescient lyrics. He even learned more than several phrases in Arabic, which he sang in there, too. We were all very impressed by this, of course.
JJ was next up, adding his magical, melodic, and exotic saz, shakuhachi, and synth to the mix. Ken threw in next, adding his perfectly timed brass and Chinese percussion to the mix, too. Last, but certainly not least, Stephen recorded his subtle, exotic, traditional sitar to the piece.
Once we had it all recorded, we turned it over to Mark for a mix, as the whole thing is really his baby. Stephen mastered it, though, as he is our resident professional producer.
Our hope is that this song inspires you to dig into Palestinian music, and through that, you experience a taste of the magic and the beauty of that region, despite suffering victims of war are experiencing there. But most of all, we hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark:
Sisters and brothers
Daughters and Sons
We would give you food
But the road is blocked to sun
Proud Palestine
Brave brethren
Our hearts are with you
Our souls are weeping
Inhumane blockade of bread
Pains collective minds
We want gone this dread
Let's find our kind
Please be strong
As we right this wrong
Hope prays that day will not be long
We pine with your God
To find a normal truth
Where your kids can grow and learn good youth
Sisters and Brothers
Daughters and Sons
We are with you Palestine
Sending love through song
The eye sees but the arm is short ( العين ترى والذراع قصيرة )
We are in the same boat ( نحن في نفس القارب )
Winds do not blow as the ships wish ( لا تهب الرياح كما تشاء السفن )
Being alone is better then being with someone bad (أن تكون وحيدا أفضل من أن تكون مع شخص سيء )
What is hidden is more then what has happened ( ما هو مخفي أكثر مما حدث )
Every problem has a solution ( لكل مشكلة حل )
Good intentions count for as much as good actions ( النوايا الحسنة لها نفس أهمية الأفعال الحسنة )
All is well that ends well ( كل شيء على ما يرام إذا انتهى بشكل جيد )
