some days you just don't have it. all you want to do is create your next big masterpiece, but nothing works. i've been feeling like that a lot lately. nothing i do seems to be good enough anymore.

sometimes, when i feel this way, i find it's best to just record something. even if it's bad, at least i can say i was here, and i tried. this was one of those times...

on a side note, just look at how majestic my cat looks sitting on a pile of garbage. if you're ever feeling down, just think of him. and make something. anything. and sit upon your throne of garbage and be proud. I should probably stop drinking...

thanks for listening.

i usually program my own drums. this track uses drum loops that came with ez drummer2 that i edited slightly.

Cast of characters:

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick fretless four string bass, Collings mandolin, Rogue banjo, Roland electric piano, and composition

K2 and the Three [and the Four]-- @k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken — drums and percussion

Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender Stratocaster electric guitar

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– Tom Anderson custom T model electric guitar, Taylor T5z acoustic guitar, production, mix, and mastering

This song began with Josh coming up with it on his electric piano and fretless bass, to which he added some banjo, then mandolin. Once he had a solid basis for the song, he shared it with the rest of Eclectic Collective for them to add their parts. 

  Ken was first up, adding his drums in an such a creative way that matched Josh's bassline perfectly. It was originally recorded to a looper disco beat, but that was blown out of the water by Ken's creative drumming. Tez jumped in next, adding his thrilling guitar to the second half of the song. Not to be outdone, Stephen batted clean up, adding his textural and melodic guitar to the first half. He also added some subtle, but brilliant acoustic guitar to the first half, too. 

  This is a great example of Eclectic Collective coming up with an original band sound out of one of Josh's seeds. We're always pushing boundaries and trying to find fun and exciting ways to build a song. Lots of teamwork in here, too, of course. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.

Hi everyone! Since it’s Sunday and we happened to meet in the studio to say goodbye to each other, we realized completely by chance that we’ve uploaded 98 tracks on SoundCloud. So we decided to release a chiptune track to mark number 99, and then come back with the 100th song!😉

We’ll still be online for a few more hours, then we’ll take a break from SoundCloud for a while. We can’t say exactly how long. But don’t worry, we’ll be back to annoy you again!🤪

Enjoy listening, drop us a comment , and happy holidays to those who, like us, still haven’t taken them! In any case, enjoy the summer (and if you’re in the southern hemisphere, enjoy the cool weather! Sorry, dear friends in Antarctica, no joke intended!😆).

All our Chiptune tracks are here: soundcloud.com/beatingedge/sets/8-bit-vibes.

Love you all!🫶
Ciao!!😘
