Sometimes in the quiet of the night come those moments of clarity.

Nightfall

Played on a Tom Doerr (RIP) Legacy- LS Redwood/Cocobolo. 
This little tune gradually grew on me over some time period ahead of the final recording including little changes on the evening it was recorded. Sometimes that's the way things work!!
 Played in CGCGCD tuning capo #1. 
The melody seemed to convey to me a hopeful, thoughtful day ahead where good things might happen! 
The picture is of my son in law looking out over the harbor on a fabulous summer evening sunset!
Thanks for taking time to listen!

MAYBE TOMORROW

Why Would I Care What You Think

A song about willing to find a new place to live. It's not about the city, it's about the state of mind. And I see this track as a soundtrack.

The City [DEMO]

This goes out to all aggressors and autocrats out there. Damn them!

(This tune is downloadable.)

I compose in MIDI, using Logic Pro and sound libraries from EastWest.

Composition – The Eclectic Collective

This song began with a bass part that Jeff came up with and shared with Stephen, who had added some fiery guitar and foundational rhythm guitar to it. However, it languished on his digital shelf for many months as two parts, until he recently remembered that he had it. So, he decided to share it with the rest of the group. We were salivating, all of us, when we heard Jeff's bass line, so we began with Ken laying in the groovy drums and the tight, driving percussion, which propels the entire song. Once we had a beat, we decided to edit the part to include the break you hear about a minute into it. Mark took on that task, and deftly added the bass in that section, too.
Josh was up next, and decided to add a rhythm guitar inspired by Talking Heads. Once he had done that, he started hearing a simple, catchy melody in the main verse part, too, so he came up with some simple lyrics and recorded the vocals for that. At the same time this was happening, Ken also came up with some lyrics and a vocal melody for the breakdown part, which he added. After Ken had added his vocals, Josh added a harmony part on them. He also added the lap slide melody you hear in that section, as well.
JJ was next up to bat, laying in the breathtaking organ throughout. He also backdropped a canvas of synthesizer throughout and put in some electric piano too. Tez came along not long after and added the ripping guitar solo in the jam section. Once everyone had added their parts, it was up to Stephen to produce, mix, and master it. He arranged and added some length to it, then mixed it in his usual expert manner.
This is the first song the Eclectic Collective has done with Jeff, though Stephen has worked with him in the past, and we were all fans of his music, and thus very excited for the chance to make music with him. Hopefully, this will be the first of many.
We all hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it. If you comment, please share, too.

Original lyrics by Josh Clary:

The trees talk to each other
They send messages through the breeze
There's magic all around us
If we look for it, we can see

Original lyrics by K2 and the Three:

Hey, how you feeling about love and lust
Hey how you feeling about all the lies you trust
We're here to be clear
Just a walk in the dark

A simple Wowlelujah
A simple Halelujah!

Hey!

Wowlelujah (The Eclectic Collective)

A Great Day
