Mix by Stephen and Ken
Artwork by Josh Clary

I delivered my guitar track to my friend, Josh (Entheogenic Psychonaught) and he enjoyed adding the psychedelic, yet foundational four string fretless bass. Ken (K2 and the Three and K2 and the Four) boosted the energy level of the song when he blew our minds with his driving drums. JJ (J.J. Terrell) added the wild, dynamic organ you hear throughout. Tez (Llanpsych) brought lightning down from the sky in the solo over the third section. And last, but certainly not least, Stephen (TexMex Shaman) laid down the mind-bending guitar solos over the first two sections. He also produced and mixed it, with a little help from Ken. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as our Eclectic Collective enjoyed making it. 

Thanks guys for this great experience!

Lyrics:

Hide Hide Hide! I am hiding from you
Don't want you to find me
If you do, I am trapped with you
And you will steal my heart again...

Like an Eagle hunting
watching its prey
You circle above me
And I can't get away...

Run Run Run! You are chasing me
I got nowhere to hide...

Like an Eagle hunting
Watching its prey
You circle above me
 And I can't get away...

Give Give Give! I give into you
I can't keep running anymore..
Realize that i am trapped with you
And you will steal my heart again...

Like an Eagle hunting
Watching its prey
You circle above me
And i can't get away....

Lyrics:

So much to catch up on
Some of it never gets done
Time is too short, passes to quickly
suddenly the day is gone

It will be fine, it will be okey
Just speak up
And the help is on the way

People fussing, children shouting
So much noise all around
High demands coming from all sides
No peace to be found

It will be fine, it will be okey
Just speak up
And the help is on the way

Life is short, use it well
There is so much to gain
By slowing down, take a break
Time will pass anyway

It will be fine, it will be okey
Just speak up
And the help is on the way

It Will Be Fine   W/PJ Project

IT HURTS ME (Lyrics)
Intro
V 1
Along my way -
I´ve been hurt.
Too many times.
Enough is enough.

Chorus
So I built walls  - around me.
Now listen guys, - this hurts me.
Do not challenge him – please let it be!
You bring out – the devil in me!

V 2
You`ve made a -
fool of me.
My mind has died.
I dont´t feel free.

Chorus
So I built walls  - around me.
Now listen guys, - this hurts me.
Do not challenge him – please let it be!
You bring out……..

Bridge
The walls did not hold up.
Nothing will stop him.
What`s happening? 
I wan`t see!
The devil has come out of me!

Chorus
So I built walls  - around me.
Now listen guys, - this hurts me.
Do not challenge him – please let it be!
You bring out – the devil in me!

Outro
You bring out – the devil in me. It´s too late, he´s in me.
You bring out – the devil in me. It´s too late,

It hurts me

It Hurts Me

Going to be a tough day today, Me Thinks!!! 🙄🤪😁😜

Well, I was completely wrong about my day!!!!  When I finally managed to leave the flat!!!  For some reason, when I've been awake all night, especially in the week, I'm always late for work!  
Usually because, 1:  I don't want to go, 2: I've picked up the drawing I'm currently doing 3: I can't go out now, Not until I've shaded in all parts I've just outlined!!! Lol and my personal favourite 4: I Really Don't Want To Go To Work Today, Tomorrow, Next Week, EVER!!!!! 😹😜🤪🦞
Anyway, after all that, I had a nice day at work today! 🤣😹😜
And I know why!  Because I was on my own, have been all week, and I fucking love It, No one hassling me, I get more work done, it's nice and quiet and there's no Drama! Just me, building a stone wall! Happy days, It won't last though.
I realised something today, or I've been re reminded, and I reckon someone is taking the piss out of me!

JaKes Early Hours MidweekMix

method: first, I created a shaman-monk-version (mostly ‚Gregorian‘ voice and jaw harp) on cassette tape (this is where some of the noise - especially in the first section - derives from) and zoom r20 with a vacuum-tube pre-amp for the voice ….. all of which I then treated like a field recording sample in Samplitude - sculpting it with vst instruments and effects. 
narration: it feels like I have sonified this poem a million times before …. which might be the case because I have lived through it that often - I and others I dearly care for …. but then again … I might have actually done so. it is also part of the cycle SONIC CASCADE published in  A SINGLE LOOP OF FORTUNES. Alternative titles are ‚TWO-PLACE‘ and ‚04s SAMPLE‘. For this publication, I simplify the title to  ‚SAMPLE‘.

poem / copyright jo richter:

two-place sleeps on the ground
and still doesn‘t know where it is -
all of its strings sound sound
in heaven-hellish bliss -
nothing, it says, goes amiss
that doesn‘t want to be found

I spent two years making Punto Ártica album as a whole, and I mostly played my mom’s Spanish guitar in the spare time. This theme and chords got shape with time, without any plan, in some different variations I’ve tried to remember and craft here.

Even a 7/4 vocal section had come up. In the spirit of this new profile, I asked Codi (https://soundcloud.com/noisealter) to adapt my translation of a poem I wrote when my age was about 1/3 than now (see below), and he also sung it with the passion and delivery I was looking for !!

Original poem  /  First translation:

FEBRERO  /  FEBRUARY

Efe de frío, Febrero,  /  ‘F’ for Freeze, February,
tiempo de ocio y ventura  /  leisure and venture time.
Sueño, guitarra, lectura,  /  Sleep, guitar, reading,
paso intermedio.  /  intermediate step.

Tiempo de amigos y risas  /  Time for friends and laughter,
de descanso e ilusión  /  of rest and illusion
de esperanza y ocasión,  /  of hope and opportunity,
muere la prisa.  /  the rush dies.

Febrero de nacimiento,  /  February of birth,
pausa para el estudiante.  /  pause for the student.
Los problemas van delante,  /  The problems go ahead,
estoy contento.  /  I’m happy.
