When I was 8 - 9 years old I'd go down to the hole and catch crawdads with a line and some bacon.  I think this might be different.  But I'm interested

Hey music friends, this is my very first open collaboration. I've been meaning to to do one for a little while now but was waiting for a track to come along that has enough open space for additions but that can also kind of stand on it's own. I thought this one fit the bill. It's a minimal beat that I created using the Volca Drum with just a few melodic lines produced in Korg Gadget. One of the lines is accentuated with the Minilogue. I hope a few of you will be inspired to try working with it!

Feel free to use the elements in anyway you would like--  just the drums, just the melodies, or any combination. I would appreciate a reference to my artist name and ideally a link back to the original track. Please send me a link to anything you make and I'll add it to this running playlist... https://soundcloud.com/tea_are_sea/sets/earth-sky-open-collaborations

Earth & Sky - OPEN COLLAB

The Quest for the Holy Dumpling is the second concept album from the Smoking Trout, a SoundCloud collaborative band started by me, Stonerjazz (Jeff), and Uziel in 2021. We build these albums by releasing one song at a time, so the story is a work-in-progress. This is the first track on the new album to contain words/lyrics so it's really kind of launching a new tale that we'll continue to develop over the next year or who knows how long! In addition to Jeff and Uziel, we were fortunate to be joined by TexMexShaman (Stephen) and Sonic Structures and Silent Stretches (Jo Richter). For me, this was a really rewarding collaboration and perhaps one of my favorite tracks I've been involved with. Thank you so much to all who contributed. See below for more detailed credits (in chronological order of when each person contributed to the track) and to read Jeff's fantastic lyrics.

If you're interested you can find our first completed album, the Land of Zed by going to the 'albums' tab on my page or by looking up 'the smoking trout' on BandCamp.

lyrics:

you may have heard the creaking noise and tiny footsteps n the darkened corridors
that stretch to the southern boundaries of the unpolluted parts
where souls are living with total disregard for the nature of the Holy Dumpling
floating on the cosmic stew that simmers horizontally to your soul ln your heart

Traveling with the HOBO CYBERPUNKS, l learn a thing or two from the leader of the band Cosmic Stu who n a wild tangent and a Rant, described a different spot
a flthy plot, lnvaded by tribe of bots, who stank of superficiality
an opportunity that he lost

The teachers teach ln empty auditoriums to pupils lost ln 4 inch screens
sequestered ln squalid scenes, that go unnoticed as useless lnformaton ls gobbled up and gobbled down ln every home and every town
Put the monster down and walk away He sald
lron John ls not afraid of the queen
and even though the prlnce ls doomed
the purpose doesn't change

let me introduce you to some members of the band
there's Sally and Roberta who play the clarinet with beauty and with Grace
who plays the violin and Viola who makes the Djembe
bounce around the brain
with subliminal referrels to her pleasure and her paln
The horns are played by the twlns
Maurece and Nostradamus, their trumpeting sublime

the accordlan of course ls played by Johnny who you might remember from the land of Zed, He did eventually get out of bed and sald
Ths reminds me of a time when thngs were real and l could feel the rope of
hope wrapped firmly around and round my throat
before l knew the truth about the Lle
before l knew the meaning of goodbye

Now Stu he claimed to know or knew the whereabouts of the holy condiment that grew only
just outside his windowsill (and was essential to the Dumpling's flavor)
where he lived ln another life with Mary-Ann his ex-wife
who left hm for a guy named Sid who was a maestro on guitar
and had a band that traveled wide and far
including Mary Ann, and Larry too

Looking for that very thing
Hoping for just one bite
of that heavenly delight
before the turning of the light
