Yepa , it's a rhythm you can't resist. If teleportation existed, it would be cool to have you all on my beach in Ondres, my village in France. You'd have us dancing till dawn. 🎶🏄‍♂️

😁😊Such pleasant tune you made here Mark--love how you have mastered the vst horns--i especially like trumpets in a song and these are really excellent--makes me want do some of that:)d

Really outstanding work on this Mark! Really a good one here by the EC, very unique and cool

¡Qué increíble mezcla de sonidos y ritmos en esta canción! Me encanta cómo fusionan elementos de la música electrónica con la bossa nova, creando un sonido único y refrescante. La

Nice, happy tune! Perfect for whistling along. 🎶🎵

What a nice uplifting sound.  A great way to start my day, dancing under the stars at a beach.  My son wants to take me to the shore.  I've been craving the salt air, seagulls and the sound of the waves!

Love how thus all came together so nicely ! Accolades to all the musicians involved!

Been Walking

Composed circa 1978
I'm getting old and I'm quickly turning gray
Been married 15 years today.
But now I'm questioning just what I did with all the time
to clear my mind so I could feel much better.

Electric storm is in my head tonight
Please Mr. Thunder can you tell me who is right?
We don't smile anymore.
All we seem to do is fight. 

I'll mow the lawn and then I'll take the garbage out
It's clouding up now and it looks like rain.
All I know is what I see 
I'm crying inside and I feel like screaming

Electric storm is in my head tonight
E. F. Hutton can you tell me who is right
Dow Jones is tumbling
Prudential's falling off the rock

Guitar solo by Matt Warnick

I'll cut the lawn and then I'll take the garbage out
It's clouding up now and it looks like rain.
But now I'm questioning just what I did with all the time
to clear my mind so I could feel much better.

Electric storm is in my head tonight
Please Mr. Thunder can you tell me who is right?
We don't smile anymore.
All we seem to do is fight. 

Always take an umbrella......

This song began as a bass composition recorded as a stem by Mark. He named it after a hang out spot he and his friends used to go to as teenagers to drink beer and smoke bowls. He shared it with JJ, who turned it over to the Eclectic Collective so that we could have our way with it. However, Mark didn't use a click track to record it, so when he sent it to us, Ken had to come up with a drum beat based on Mark's structure, to which Mark then redid his bass part. That takes a lot of imagination on Ken's part when we do something that way.
    The first one of us to lay down a part for it was Chris, who added some really freaky textural guitar. Ken was next up, completing the rhythm section with his mighty drums. Ken then redid his part to better match the bass, thus completing the rhythm section with his mighty drums. Then, Stephen laid down the gritty, underlying rhythm guitar that runs throughout. Josh was up next, adding his melodic wah guitar to the mix. JJ came along soon after and laid down the magical synth that runs throughout. Last, but not least. Tez dropped the fiery solo towards the end. 
  Once the music was all laid down, we thought it could use some oohs and aahs at the end, so Josh recorded them as a five part harmony. However, choosing to only use the highest thee parts in the song, our expert producer on this one, Tez, decided to make a coda out of all five. So, stick around for a treat at the end!
  This is the third song the Eclectic Collective has done as a collab with Mark F. He's a very talented solo bassist, whose other music worth checking out on his page, as well. We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Pryer Manor (Eclectic Collective with ~Mark F)

A simple, rather loose, jazz ensemble, and a simple message.
It seems as though the social and political turbulence is much like trying to paddle your own canoe - it's going to get rough and it will feel as though hope is lost, but don't stop and don't despair. Hope Floats.

The song was originally intended as a relationship muse, where two people are supposed to be paddling, together, in the same direction, but the boat keeps turning 'round and 'round. It takes courage to realize you can only control your own paddle and how you use it. It can be overwhelming and daunting, at times, and you may be inclined to abandon ship: don't.

Lyrics:

I got my paddle in the water, 
I'm paddling with all I've got
The bow is sinking slowly, 
Glanced off a rock.
And i'm startin' to sink down into the water
Losin' myself in the current,
Goin' down, down, goin' down,
Lord help me I'm goin', goin' ,goin',  down

(instrumental break)

I got a bucket in the water
I'm bailin' but it's not enough, no.
The water's slowly risin'
And I'm runnin' out of luck.
And I'm startin' to sink down into the water
Losin' myself in the current
Goin' down, down, goin' down,
Lord help me, I'm goin', goin' down,
I'm goin' down.

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 percussion
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 Collective 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. Ken also added the solid percussion keeping things tight. 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 table, bringing several really stunning parts that added a lot of depth to the whole thing. He's responsible for the horn arrangements that joins in from JJ's organ around the middle, those funky percussion flourishes and fills, and then creating that percussion breakdown near the end, playing everything you hear in that break. 
This is an example of Josh exploring a less typical type of music, and it being picked up on and carried through expertly as a group unit. We all love bringing in different influences in the EC, and this fit the bill. We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed creating it.

And here’s a short excerpt of the the rhythm section with all the percussion action more isolated:

Meet The New Bossa (The Eclectic Collective)

A chuga- chuga good time blues song (ZZ Top meets Chuck Berry) about not indulging in vices. Also, race car driving.

Lyrics:
Hey friends, you know I need to give up drinking
It's tearing up my guts
But still, I'm over eating
It leaves me so perplexed
I've got to give up that 
Marijuana
It makes me malleable
Lackadaisical
Like a slow-motion hex
I've got to give up this pornography
Because it's fucking up my sex

(chorus) Oh, you've got to give up a little something
To get yourself a little bit more(2X)

Take that race car around the bend
Put the hammer down
This could be the end?
Or maybe it could be good fortune shining on your door!

I've got to stop spending so much time on the internet
It makes my attention small
I never, ever finish what I start
I've got to give up these perfumed flavored vapes
The smell reminds me
Of the woman who were 
'In love' 
With me
But now they are
'In hate'
I've got to give up the women with dark circles under their eyes
The nighttime lies
That I take
And I paint
In my darkest arts

I've got an extremely high tolerance for risk
It's more than I can take
(yeah)
Tell my friends and family
To book me a heavy metal band
For my wake
I'm gonna say to everybody
Hey, do you see that coming?
That's my Mojo rising
On the horizon
Stop criticizing
I'm just waiting for my big break
(chorus)

Take that race car around the bend
Drop the hammer down
It could be the end?
With self control
You could get the win!
You've got to give up a little something
To get yourself a little bit more...

More! (or) How I learned To Get Ahead

  we’ve been everywhere


   get up here, get up on your feet
the tide will turn for those who resist defeat
    we’ve been there, we know it too well
  the weight of the world must carry itself
     we don’t care, Laissez-faire
         we’ve been there

   horizon, the promise of a distant shore
 no longer troubles me, it holds no allure
   body enraptured, still, my heart escapes
     with no fucks to give, I need not relate
       we don’t care, Laissez-faire
           we’ve been there

   there’s no going back to the shiny and new  
    so easy on the naked eye, and useful too
            we’ve been everywhere

 dragging y' dog through the most unrelenting pain
    it’s sure to end in tears and in shame
       we don’t care, Laissez-faire
            we’ve been there

 now what we have lost here had tactile value
    all novelty aside for the tested and true
            we’ve been everywhere
                   we’ve been everywhere

              _______________________________
                 Rightly

we've been everywhere

Always a pleasure to take part in a @noxpox15 remix.

Lyrics:
You were planted, 
often alone
Catching a red fish 
and letting it go
Violet tinged under 
the water
In your head, a hole 
I hammer
So a gentle warm breeze
might into it blow
Catching a red fish
and letting it go

Undone 
the soul saves but one
Fed off the youngest look
Aphids get hooked

The lifeline is open
in my hand
Hard death looms like a 
palm filled with sand
I love chlorophyll in my 
treacherous land
The fresh squeezed blooming
deprived me
I cannot stand

Bathed like leaves
in a history book
Maddening
how Aphids get hooked

Youth, young and small
Directions promise it all
Yet they complain of getting rooked
(Even though they know)
Aphids get hooks

You were planted,
often alone
Catching a red fish
and letting it go
Here in mauve sun
solvent by the brook
Underneath, caves want it all
Here, Aphids get hooked
