This composition started with a few earnest and honest piano chords. What emerged was a personal attempt to deal with loss through electronic symphony. 

More will come...

DRUMAX No. 33 // ISON

Cast of characters:
Stoner Jazz--@user-911083679—Jeff—vocals, lyrics, and original stem
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman–Stephen–overdriven guitar, production, and mix
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara–Ken–drums and percussion
Llanpsych–@llanpsych–Tez–electric clean/effects guitar 
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1–four string fretless bass and synth           

This song originated with Jeff, who wrote a poem, which he set to a beat and a key with some very cool vocal processing. He sent it to Josh, who added the bass and the synth lines. Josh, of course, got the rest of the Eclectic Collective involved. Ken came up with a solid, distinct beat, based loosely on Josh's first take. Josh then redid his bass line to match up with Ken's drums, which is the way they seem to work best, sometimes going back and forth like that several times until they're locked in. Then, Tez and Stephen each added very distinct, supportive guitar tracks to fill it in. Tez comes through with the very Strat sounding bells ringing throughout. Stephen really shines with his textural tremolo playing throughout, as well as the rocking end. He also produced and mixed it expertly, as always. 
This is the first time the Eclectic Collective has collaborated with Jeff, although both Josh and especially Stephen (as part of the band, The Smoking Trout) have made music with him before. We really enjoyed making a song based on his vocals, and Jeff is a welcome addition to our sound anytime. We all really enjoyed making this one. We hope you enjoy listening to it.
Lyrics:

Naked Shoulders
l like the way the sun lights up
the naked shoulders of the Early morning
ln the Desert where we met-
ln the shack down by the muddy
where you said you waited
while l rambled on about the time
Youth and Sex and Beauty-
When the Real Revolution was the Music-

Slitting quietly and thinking
while the melancholy has lt's moment
letting longing linger longer than lt should
Took a little tumble ln the Bumble
when l got older
always just a little lucky
ln the middle of disaster
no longer sure lf l'm the spell or l'm the caster
only knowing that my feet are made of plaster-

Even though lt's getting late, even though lt's getting late
l'm still standing at the gate
hoping for a bit hoping for a little bite hoping for a little slice of Nlrvana Nlrvana-

Verse 2
You know lt's harder than lt looks
even though l read some books
l'm ln love with my Delusion, Naked and inviting
lt whispers sweetly ln my head and says
You're gonna live Forever, even though l'm almost dead-

Everything that came before
comes knocking at the back-stage door
demanding parts ln the production of the play-

What makes you think you have a choice?
The Director Sald
you don't have to memorize the dialogue
the script ls ln your Head--

Beyond The Journey

Cast of characters:
Steve's Planet--@steve-vervaet—Steve—acustic guitar, vocals, lyrics, composition/arrangement
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara–Ken–drums and percussion
Llanpsych–@llanpsych–Tez–production and mix 
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1–four string fretless bass, mandolin, organ, and strings orchestration 

This is a song that Steve wrote, and has released on his page. He sings it brilliantly, and plays guitar, too. He sent it to Josh to work on with him. Josh added the bass, strings, and organ. But it needed drums. And luckily he knows a great drummer named Ken, who added exactly what it needed. Then we sent it to Tez for a bit of his production and mixing wizardry. It's a totally different sound than we're all used to, but it was a lot of fun to put together. We hope you enjoy it, too.

“この樹は今鳥かくせりとおもひつつ眞下より見る枝葉のうらを”
木下利玄（1886-1925）

The tree must be hiding a large bird behind its thriving branches and leaves. I thought so and looked up the tree, trying to find the bird.

ねぎ（Negi) (featuring 弦巻マキ)

The Inordinately Selfish

それは憐れみをおぼえることもあるが
タイムラインを眺めているときだけ
ねじを巻いて歩き出すと
もう忘れている
今夜なにを食べようか
かんがえる
体内の仕掛けをはずして
愛や何かに付け替えても
愛にも何にもならない
親が死んでも
打ち込みは止めない

“The Inordinately Selfish”
 
I may feel a flicker of pity, but only while scrolling through the timeline. 
Once the mainspring is wound and I start to walk, it is already forgotten.
"What shall I eat tonight?" I wonder. 
Even if I stripped away the internal mechanism and replaced it with love or something like it, it becomes neither love nor anything at all. 
Even when a parent dies, I keep on sequencing.


The Inordinately Selfish

the inordinately selfish

I am an amateur musician.
I make music with "Magix Music Maker", because I can play the piano very little.
The singer in my tracks is not a human being. She is a synthesizer software named "Vocaloid Yukari".
