This song began with Chris composing it with his synth, guitar, drum pad and bass. Like many of his songs, it was pretty well formed before the rest of the group got a hold of it. This song was part of a load of songs he shared with the rest of Eclectic Collective all at once. We've been picking them off one by one, though, as we're always grateful to Chris for sharing his magic with us.
  The odd sound of the rhythmic melody, which uses chromatic walks, immediately caught Josh's ears. It struck him as something the Doors might have come up with. So, he set about replacing Chris' simple bass line with something fancier, as well as coming up with the lead guitar for the whole thing, and the lyrics and vocals, as well. Josh was really taken with this one, and heard all kinds of parts in it almost immediately. Ken went to bat next, adding his innovative, John Densmore-like drums to it, replacing Chris' initial rhythmic idea. JJ came next and added the essential piano you hear throughout. After that, Mark found a place for his amazing bassoon/harpsicord solo in the middle. But before it was all over, Chris also added some doubled vocals, too, to actualize the lyrics, which are about two friends taking an acid trip together. 
  After it was all laid down, we asked Tez to mix it for us, which he did in his expert fashion, as always.
  This is our latest song composed by Chris, and we love working on his music. If you dig this, you should pay his page a visit, too, as it's full of diamonds. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Instrumental hump day with another Chiptune (…and yeah, we know, boring, but chill, it’s just for Christmas 😆)! This time it’s one of our Christmas songs released exactly a year ago (https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/santa-the-gunslinger). Santa gets downgraded from gunslinger to… well, you decide what chipslinger means (..and let us know in the comments)! 😂
Enjoy… if you can handle us!!! 😅

Alone in the Crowd

As of today, it's been exactly ten years since I first started a co-writing partnership with my friend Liam, and today we finished our latest composition. The composition is named in honor of the free software Finale Notepad, which Liam and I used to use for all of our co-writing. Finale's being phased out, perhaps due to the popularity of Musescore. We wrote this one in Finale, like in the old days, as a farewell to the software we got started with.

Written by exchanging a file by email, with each of us writing eight measures at a time. Hope you enjoy!

On My Own

This is a song written right after the Haiti Earthquake in 2010. Knowing that my son was headed there to assist in the aid and rescue I stayed up much of the night doing research on where he was headed. His accounts to me were helpful in finalizing the song. Particularly about the corruption that bled into the rescue efforts and the logistics of it. Much had to go through a sort of gangster hierarchy. I also lived with a Haitian refugee back in the late 70's and heard much from him. I'm sure, like any historical account there is some distortion but it was written honestly and in concern for the people there and of course my son and his companions. Take it for what it is. My simple folk ballad as I saw it then.

Lyrics :

They came down to the shores
and they welcomed their masters
and they dug up their gold
in the yoke of the frenchmen who couldn’t care less for the life
of the beautiful island

and for two hundred years
generations of slaves
fought to break all the chains
whose weight was far far too great for foundations so weak
on the beautiful Island

and the struggle began to throw off their burden
an unbearable weight too much for a woman or man
let alone little children

when freedom was won
and the plunder was transferred
to Jean Jacques the black ruler
who's fever for gold was burning far too high
for the beautiful island

and the shackles were cut
and all the gold braided
but they made epaulette
for the shoulders of tyrants who’s weight was far too much
for the beautiful island

they say the best kind of slave is the one who don’t know it
an unlivable life too much for a woman or man
let alone little children

and charity rained
and soaked into the mountains
and added its weight
to the coffers of rulers who’s greed was far great
for the beautiful island

and they cried by the shores
for the lives that were buried
with a ton of misfortune
on the backs of the ones who could no longer hold up the weight
of the beautiful island

is it justice that shook down the walls of the prisons
are the cries at the shore finally to be heard
can such a great weight be lifted from women and men
let alone little children

Beautiful Island  ( song for Haiti )
