K-Retrograde Motion

My sound is appealing to me, but I can't structure the sounds in a good order. Like ocean waves. If it was at least like the waves of a lake or river, I'd be able to structure my music as tasteful waves of sound.

This song began more than a year ago, when Josh created a song out of a looper beat with his four string fretless bass. It sat on the shelf until a few weeks ago, when he shared it with JJ, who was in creative mode one Saturday evening. Josh had actually forgotten that he'd added a bass line to it, and thought he was just passing on a looper beat for JJ to play with. 
  However, JJ heard it, and was so excited that added his magical electric piano part, making it sound like a real song, instead of just drums and a bass. Ken also heard some magic in here, because he came up with his own brilliant beat to replace the looper that was used in for the seed. Mark was next to throw in, adding the striking drum pattern breakdown, and the thrilling flute solo, as well. Tez came in shortly after, adding his thrilling guitar to the mix. After everyone had added their parts, Josh came back and added two guitar parts, the simple low end line, as well as the high strumed triads. At this stage, Mark did some editing, as it is in his skill set, and made it less dense and easier to listen to. 
  Now that the song was musically complete, out newest member, Carl, dropped the amazing vocals you hear, singing his original lyrics. After Carl was done sprinkling his magic in it, we needed an able producer to bring out the magic of the recordings. Good thing we have a trained producer to do the job in Stephen, who mixed and mastered it superbly, as always. 
  This is Eclectic Collective's first fore into the afrobeat genre, although a few of us are really big fans already, and Josh has a few other originals in this genre buried on his page, as well. As always, we all enjoyed the process of hearing this one come together. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.
Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark:Juice our Jah
Chalice of chime
Shooting star
Great rhythm
There's blood in the brine

Suture Sun
Grand heaven high
'Some clan gone cruel
Needing collective eye

Eclectic host
Hoist our hale
Mused healing feast
Musical breeze as gale

Afro beat
Oh melody sweet
Beat afro
Show us where to go

Thanks for your song Fatima and I am so sorry it had to be sung. Rest in peace Dear Soul. We will fix this and your beautiful heart will help us. All power, peace and love to your family and loved ones 🧬🎶🤍🕊️ For Fatima 🧬

Where is Schindler?

Too many girls in red coats
Where is Oskar for Gazan dotes
Too many boys with starving eyes
Too much indifference
From this war of lies

Where is humanity?
We see the pains
We see weak powers
With veto refrains
Too many blood stained bodies from hate
We watch but mute tears
Is this normalised face?

There's a gate to peace
Through it a garden of grace
Celebration of different
One deified handshake
In this garden we share one planet
We sense the same flowers
Bonds steadfast
Like granite

Lets make a list of old enemies
Then tear it up
Gone divisionary
Let's merge our might
Make label of trust
Let's cool this Earth
Stop our future of rust

Far too much pain
Why early death?
Crowds of red coats again
All this daily lost breath!
We pine the same air
'Plenty our flour
Fierce fire bread bake
'Not burn human flower
Bring all the rainbow
One future of light
Grant evil eyes a halo to rid them of this fight

Too many girls in red coats
Too many boys starving Gazan dotes

Where is Schindler?
Who's making a list?
How do we save them
From this red mist

Ooooo we're making a list
We're gonna save them from this red mist
Ooooo
We're gonna save them from this red mist
On Earth
Be heaven of bliss
Let's save them from this red mist

A song asking for an Oskar Schindler for Palestine and playing on the famous heart wrenching red coat imagery from the movie Schindler's List. It took me a while to write out 95 random Palestinian first names and Fatima's on that page. If we actually wrote out the souls killed we would need 694 pages to write down the names of the 66,700 people that have been killed so far in this war and a huge amount of them have been starved to death. Most are on the verge of death because of a genocidal blockade of basic humanitarian assistance. The aid that is getting there is privatised now going against international law and is highlighting the weaponisation of all elements against the Gazan population. All this along side Isreali settlers expanding their territory illegally into Palestinian territory in the West bank and being given mindless confirmation by the so called good guy USA. Unless people stand up to these right wing cowards America and Israel will eventually have their racist Riviera Darth Don has parroted on about. Stop the liars. Stop the haters. Stop the murderers controlling people and there is no fight for freedom from their wicked ways anymore and we can all move on in peace.

First.... We MUST Stop the genocide and free Palestine now before it sparks a wider world war 🇵🇸🧬

This is an interesting Ted talk discussing wider societal push and pull factors and how history could very well rhyme with the past if we are not very careful 🕊️🎶🧬❤️‍🔥

If the nukes go off we can eat for 60 days and then we all die! That's the reality of the rhyme if the shit hits the fan this time with the nuclear arsenals aimed at cities! We all gotta wake up and reign in the haters fast!🧬🎶🕊️ According to scientists similar clouds would form and stay in the upper atmosphere like happened the dinosaurs and we would all starve and freeze to death no matter how much money we have! Oh really! Yeah!
https://youtu.be/M7hOpT0lPGI?si=lDenzHNwxMwHHgE1 Hear it from an expert here!

For those that don't know, Oskar Schindler was a high ranking Nazi German who found a conscience and saved a load of Jewish people from getting gassed!

We have one answer. Come Together 🧬🎶🌍

A Spark of Light is what I seek every day.  It is a moment of hope, revelation, peace, love, and joy.  Music speaks to me in this way.  I invite you to listen and feel the spark!

A Spark of Light

Welcome friends and to my profile! I hope to celebrate 300 original tracks on Soundcloud this year!  Thank you for listening and helping me in my musical journey. It has been a difficult year for me personally. Yet, musically, I believe I am writing some of my best music.  I am infinitely inspired and humbled by the extraordinary creativity I hear from your music each day and the wonderful friends I have encountered from every part of the world! THANK YOU! I am so very grateful for your support and the gift of music in my life!
 
What Inspires Me...I am inspired each day to compose music that touches and connects the listener in meaningful ways that are personal to their own experiences and feelings.  I believe what the world needs is more songs about love for all living things and the earthly treasures around us. The power of love is magical, mysterious, and miraculous!  And, it is essential to our survival like water and the air we breathe.  I believe that through the universal language of music, love can heal, bring joy, and create an invisible chain that pulls all of us together, not apart.  

A Little About Me...I started composing in 2016  after not touching the piano for many years. A career, raising a family and just every day life got in the way of making music. After retiring as a music teacher in the public schools, I started dreaming of playing the piano again and my years of classical training slowly came back to me. I love every genre of music, and the talent and creativity on SoundCloud has inspired me at every level!

For those of you who follow me on Soundcloud, I have been experimenting with adding tracks to my piano compositions.  I create and record everything myself using a Yamaha 660DGX, including the instrumental tracks built into the keyboard. Then, I edit on my laptop using Sony Sound Forge Music Pro.  It's a simple set up, and I have lots to learn.  I am not afraid of receiving feedback if you have any to give.  Sometimes, it's the most simple thing I may be doing wrong that changes everything!

If you have time, check out my first music book called Music Dreams: Six Original Pieces for Solo Piano through Barnes & Noble.  I welcome your feedback.  Here is a link in case you are interested. https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/music-dreams-jennifer-l-jones/1143986955?ean=9798891455641
