Really love the drive, the 'apparent' simplicity (we all know how much work really goes on there!) and the feel of this. Nice one.

love your music. this one's a banger...too good to be used in movie or computer game but has epic feels like one. ❤️

Hey Elpi, love your synth work in here. Very trippy stuff. Great melodic elements that ground the whole thing into a humable song, too. This is spectacular, sister! Way to go with it!

fantastic piece - massive bass😎😎😎

'diffidence' 

Please let me be the only one to love you.
And, me, the only one to whom you give your love.
For, in my life, I've placed no one above you.
It feels so right and safe each time we touch. 

But I fear that somehow I've left you unsatisfied,
and that you feel the need hide from me
all the things that go down when my hands are tied.
Tell me, baby, please, just set my mind at ease. 

I'm doing all I can to understand you.
I give you all have each time I can, my love.
I hope our love continually expands through
communication, and that we can trust 

everything we share, based on the feelings
that captivate our souls when we are near.
I know that we are unique, separate beings,
but it's so hard livin' with all this fear 

of losing you, because we are so different.
Although the love we share, feels much the same.
I apologize for my constant diffidence,
but, sometimes my brain makes me feel insane...

This song began with David, who wrote it on the guitar, synth, and bass over a programmed beat he created. He and Josh met more than two months ago and decided to do a collaboration, based on mutual enjoyment of and respect for each other's music. Dave had this song pretty much fleshed out, although it was still a skeleton when he offered it to Josh, who, of course, got the rest of the Eclectic Collective involved. 
  Dave asked us all to compose our own parts for the song, so we all got to work right away doing that. We all realized that the first order of business would be to get a real beat on this, so Ken accomplished that task with some dynamic, Eastern inspired drums and percussion, which he plays throughout the song. JJ then stepped in and added his best eastern flute magic. Stephen was next with the perfect-vibe sitar you hear in the first two sections. 
  Josh came next to add his five-string fretless bass to the mix, augmenting David's high, staccato bass with his deep, low tone bass. Then, for the third section, where David's Gilmore-esque guitar solo resides, Josh drops out, allowing for Dave's awesome bass playing in that section. However, Josh does come in again towards the end, in the final section, too. Also, in that section, Tez dropped an augmented, harmonic, electric fire, complementary guitar part. Then, David's frequent collaborator and friend Ron added some well blended, ethereal synth to the first section, too.
  Once we had the instrumental parts pretty much laid down, we began to discuss getting a woman to sing on this, as David was inspired by The Great Gig in the Sky, by Pink Floyd, and we all agreed. Who we found to do it actually blew all of our minds. JJ, being familiar with her music, contacted Elpi first, and we were all lucky enough that she agreed to do it. Having heard Mediterranean music all her life in Greece, she tapped into what her husband said were her "ancient Greek roots," for her spectacular vocal performance. She finds all the modal notes and places them perfectly throughout her sections. 
  But before we were done, Mark came through with some really striking talking drum parts in the first two sections, too. Once we had everything in the can, David took over, both with some masterful editing and production, and with the balanced, dynamic mix. The mix was a formidable task, but he did it with considerable skill, also taking everyone's opinions into account, which is a talent in and of itself. When he was done with the mix, he turned it over to Stephen for the mastering, which the latter did to everyone's satisfaction, as always.
  This is the first song the Eclectic Collective has done with David, Elpi, and Ron, and we all hope it's the first of many, as we welcome them into the EC family. They all have some wonderful music on their pages, too, so do yourself a favor and check out all of them, as well. We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed creating it.

A song about over-consumption at the mall Music & Lyrics By Massimo Primiero Sung By Luca Giordano

Sale Sale Sale in slumber of Bazar 
With lacquers the glitter and flavors of Lillà
Everything is ready here on sale if you want it
Spend Buy Rent in an environment of rich ones
where glitter light and flowers are empty as holes.
Everything is ready here on sale if you want it
Sale Sale Sale in slumber of Bazar 
With lacquers the glitter and flavors of Lillà
Everything is ready here on sale if you want it

Discounts in large and shiny packages if you want with attractive proposals
Tired false smiles of revelers emptied of pride and desire to dream
Sly deviants handlers of strong deceptions dirty profits on the backs of revelers
Exploited Humiliated with toilet considerations in non-stop work for the delight of the lackeys.

Goods in relaxing frames hidden thefts of arduous jobs
Deaths hidden by the conveniences of futile needs of an impertinent environment
People as numbers and numbers as stamps calculations and balances of death and frustration
Shoplifting players wielding strong military deceptions hidden behind low prices.

My second collaboration with the fantastic Eclectic Collective. Thank you for this awesome experience, Josh, Ken, Stephen, JJ, and Tez!

Cast of characters:
Tea R. Sea @tea_are_sea -- Terry – Synthesizers, beats, composition
Llanpsych–@llanpsych –Tez– Fender Stratocaster electric guitar
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– Tom Anderson Top T Classic
 electric wah guitar, mix, and production
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- Yamaha Genos 2 electric piano, tambourine, and triangle
K2 and the Three [and the Four] -- @k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1– Custom five-string fretless bass

This song started as a basic, yet melodically very strong composition by Terry involving him playing a synthesizer over a beat he created. He first shared it with Stephen, as they are regular collaborators in their project, Texas Tea, which are worth checking out on both of their pages, as well. Stephen then turned it over the the Eclectic Collective to work our magic on it.
  Josh was first up to the plate with this one, adding his deep, five string fretless bass to Terry's rudimentary beat. Ken was next up, however, adding the driving drum beat you hear, for which he used Terry's beat as a template and augmented a full kit sound to it. Stephen followed Ken, adding his striking wah guitar part to the whole thing. Tez was up soon after with his searing guitar soloing towards the end. Last, but certainly not least, JJ added the soulful electric piano you hear giving it a funk throughout, as well as the tambourine and the cool triange dings. 
  Now that it was in the bag, we decided to ask Stephen to produce and mix it for us, which he did in his typical expert fashion, as well as the doing the mastering, too.
  This is our holiday offering to all our fans, friends, colleagues, and peers. While it's not particularly a holiday song, it's a good display of where we are musically, and shows some of the flavor we want to add in the new year. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it. Happy holidays to you, and many happy returns!
