Digging your music! Cool and psychedelic! Cheers!

Great collab! seems like ya'll might have been channeling Bowie a bit, but channeling happens all the time and Bowie is Impeccable (sorry for the Budgie reference LOL)

Extremely late to this gig, but glad I got here. Usual brilliance, and some nice touches to the mix, Mark. Such a dreamy song, perfectly performed. Love the sound of your vocals in this. Mmmm, a nice one all round!

Give Me Something To Cry About

This piano piece is dedicated to all people that need to leave. Their homes, their loved ones, their lifes that they had so far. Because they see no future, because some regime presses them to go to war, because they have broken with their loved ones. All the best to you and may you find a new home!

Compositionwise: The piece is structured into 4 parts (starting @0:02, @0:45, @1:38 and @2:44). Each of the parts starts with a question-like motive built around Ninths. As with most of my pieces, I investigate applied perturbation theory also in this track by starting these 4 parts almost – but only almost – with the same notes and exploring, how initially tiny tweaks in the beginning of the parts evolve over time into distinctly different melodies, harmonics and moods.
Overall, the piece constantly oscillates between melancholic minor and consoling major harmonies and periods of relative calm interrupted by more restless forward driving parts. The transitions between the parts are made more seamless by ritardandos and by question-answer pairs such as e.g, @ 1:28 or @ 2:33. Most of the accompaignment in the left hand is in Vienna classic-like triad decompositions but for the climax of the track starting @ 2:02, the left hand switches to rock-piano-like octave jumps to increase the sense of emotional agitation. The track starts in A major and ends in Eb major which is said to be a warm and melancholic tonality. Tthe two keys are opposite each other (6 jumps away), so I guess, this is the maximum range of modulation possible to emphasize the sense of distance and leaving. 
The track can also be found on Spotify and on Youtube. Enjoy!

  This is a song that began as a drum track that Ken came up initially as a beat for another SoundCloud user, who respectfully declined it. Instead of letting a solid track go to waste, Ken set it loose with JJ and Josh, who came up with an arrangement for the music over top of what they felt was a very killer beat. What was originally a jam, turned into a showcase of the entire Eclectic Collective. Josh also did some guitar work in this one, and with Stephen's brilliant harmony, came up with the opening theme that reoccurs about halfway through. His guitar can also be heard briefly right after the opening theme. Along with Stephen's other half of the theme, he is also responsible for the dynamic, climactic leads through most of it. Tez added his incendiary guitar to the final section, when all else was said and done, as a cherry on top. After all the tracks were in the digital can, we were lucky enough to have Stephen produce and mix it for us. 

  We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and are looking forward to the winter holidays. We also hope you enjoy this ride as much as we enjoyed assembling the vehicle.

Ose Moi

Ose-moi 
Pas à pas
Ose-moi 
T'précipite pas

C'est derrière nos regards 
Que commence notr' histoire 
C'est derrière nos sourires
Que commence notr' avenir 

Petits grains de malice 
Dispersés dans nos yeux 
Petits coups d'œil complices 
Qui promettent encore mieux 

De petits effleurements
Qui se veulent anodins
En petits frôlements
Qui sont presque coquins 

C'est pas l'fruit du hasard 
Si on se croise ce soir 
Tout était calculé 
Savamment minuté

Ose-moi 
T'inquiète j'mords pas
Ose-moi 


Ces petits signes discrets
Que personne ne soupçonne 
Sont comme des entremets
Avant qu'on ne consomme

Petit jeu délicieux 
Qui fourmille dans nos ventres 
 

C'est pas l'fruit du hasard 
Si on se croise ce soir 
Tout était calculé 
Savamment minuté

Je voudrais qu' rien ne gâche
Cet espiègle cache-cache 
Faire durer le plaisir 
Faire monter le désir

> Ose-moi 
> Pas à pas
 Ose-moi 
 T'précipite pas
Ose-moi 
T'inquiète j'mords pas
Ose-moi 
Joue avec moi

--------------------
This is a song that JJ created late one Saturday night on the piano, drums, bass, and guitar. He then presented it to the rest of the Eclectic Collective so we could do our thing with it. Josh replaced JJ's rough bass with his interpretation of the line as soon as Ken replaced the drums with his interpretation of the beat. Interestingly, Ravel's Bolero had a lot to do with the inspiration for the second part of the song. After the rhythm section was done, we turned it over to Stephen, who came up with some really subtle, yet much needed guitar lines. 

 We then turned it over to our relatively new collaborator, Mark, who came up with the lyrics and vocals. This is a lyrical and vocal songwriting debut for Mark, who was inspired by his very first listen to JJ's rough draft. Thus, this song is extra special for him.  

Mark's lyrics are about our Earthly relatives in the far distant future. At that point life on Earth will have just about reached its limits, and so mankind embarks on a journey through space to find another place to call home.

We all hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we did creating it.

LYRICS:
Part 1:
All you know, all you love is here today
Feel the sun, see the flowers embrace her rays
And you know, all we are must fade away
And now its time to go… 
away…

Part 2:
Here we are, flying high, flying high above the moons of Mars
And beyond another sunrise greets a world once again,
a million miles from where we are
To embrace the flowers of Jupiter, 
once again…

On and on we sail away, searching for another day,
the universe an endless sea
And you know that somewhere out there,
a brand new world, for you and me….

Standing Stones

You found his medals in a box in the attic
With a pink carnation and the satanic panic
On the street
You know everyone you meet
You’re not who he thought you’d be 
And from Humberside to Dundee
You can feel it running through the oak trees
Well I’ll fell them
For a one bed in soho
Where there’s people and there’s lights
Outside my window
And running into you I’ll slowly crumble
It’s true
I’m still ill 
For you 

And on the iron bridge I waited
Collapse beneath the weight of of all I did
And on the way down
I’ll write you a love song
Hoping that one day you’ll sing along
I’m forgetting your face
It’s been so long 
And it’s true
I’m still ill
For you
