Stone Heart

Cast of characters:


Gaz Brownie — @user-755327533 — Gaz — vocals, vocal harmonies, lyrics, and composition
K2 and the Three [and the Four] -- @k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums/ percussion 
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 – Warwick four-string fretless bass
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– Tom Anderson custom T guitar
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – organ and piano
Llanpsych–@llanpsych –Tez– mix, production, and mastering

This song began by Gaz composing it and on his acoustic guitar, and singing his original lyrics over it. Gaz is a brilliant songwriter, lyricist, and singer, with whom we've worked before. However, this is the first song he's shared with us. He gave it to Ken first, who started the project and invited the rest of us to it.
  Ken, who was the originator of the project, was actually the second person to lay down a part, which he did to Josh's bass, instead of the other way around, as they usually do it. Stephen then came in and replaced Gaz's acoustic guitar with his silky smooth electric guitar. JJ got down on his magical piano and organ parts not long after Stephen added his guitar. 
  This was a somewhat uncomplicated process, as Gaz gave us a fully realized song to work with right from the start. Tez sealed the deal with his expert production to cap it off, too.
  As mentioned, this is our second song starring Gaz, and we're very grateful to him for sharing his magic with us. We're all looking forward to working together again in the future, too. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it. 

Original lyrics by Gaz Brownie:
V1
Im drawing the conclusion that 
Im just being polite 
And questioning myself is it me our are they right
I’m feeling a little angry hope it’s not out of spite 
Is just a reaction to this uncomfortable night 

Chorus 
When did the world stop listening 
When did the world stop listening 


V2
As we compete for space to try & speak
Everyone’s on journey on a bus to shit creek
With condescending story’s of their bad & awesome week
And I’m working on finding just a better style of technique 

Chorus 

V3
I avoid catching that struggle bus 
Don’t wanna be part of my problem and be misunderstood 
What are you looking at is there something you wanna discuss 
I push his   face up the window cause I’ve had enough 

Finish on a chorus

When Did The World Stop Listening?- Gaz Brownie/Eclectic Collective

Every wee boy wants to be James Bond. lol 

Suit made of plaid , tuxedo man
Looking oh so grand
Got that crooked smile
Walkin' down the aisle

What's he hiding
What's inside him
Tartan tuxedo
Is it for show

He sips his sparkling wine
Pretends everything is fine
But his eyes they tell a tale
A lonely windy wail

What's he hiding
What's inside him
Tartan tuxedo
Is it for show

Maybe he's a spy a secret agent man
Maybe he's just shy part of a bigger plan
We may never know the truth beneath the seams
Just a man in tartan living out his dreams

What's he hiding
What's inside him
Tartan tuxedo
Is it for show

"Unversuchte Kraft"

„Und niemand weiß, wie weit seine Kräfte gehen, bis er sie versucht hat." 
— Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Ein Lied über den Moment, wenn Zweifel verstummen und ungelebte Möglichkeiten erwachen. Über die Angst, die vom Fahrer zum Beifahrer wird. Über Samen, die zu Licht werden, wenn wir endlich loslassen.

Still wie Nebel liegt die Schwere – bis ein Riss die Stille bricht.

🎻 Chamber Folk Duett
🎹 Piano, Acoustic Guitar, Cello, Violin, Acoustic Bass, Soft Percussion

Für alle, die noch nicht wissen, wie weit sie gehen können.
Für alle, die es herausfinden wollen.

Lyrik: (The English translation is below the German lyrics)
Still wie Nebel liegt die Schwere
Nicht bedrückend, nur vertraut
Diese alte, kalte Leere
Die sich selbst ein Nest gebaut

Kribbeln vor dem ersten Sprunge
Stimme flüstert laut ihr „Nein“
Doch die Seele singt die junge
Was könnt’ es sein?

Ein Riss durchbricht die Stille
Wie Sonnenlicht durch grauen Tag
Und plötzlich weicht der Wille
Der Neugierde nach einem neuen Tag

Unversuchte Kräfte wachen
In mir auf wie Morgenrot
All die ungelebten Träume
Brechen durch die alte Not

Staunen, pures Kinderstaunen
Kinderstaunen
Was möglich ist, wenn Grenzen fallen
Nicht gewonnen, nein … gefunden
Der Berg war nie zu hoch …
… für meinen Willen!

Unversuchte Kräfte fließen
Wie ein Strom durch meine Brust
Samen, die zu Blüten sprießen
Aus dem Mut zur Lebenslust

Die Angst sitzt still daneben
Nicht mehr Fahrer, nur noch Gast
Ich weiß nicht, wo die Grenzen leben
Und das ist keine Schwäche … das ist Kraft 

Still wie Nebel lag die Schwere
Jetzt liegt Frieden, warm und weit
In der Tiefe meiner Seele
Lebt die unversuchte Kraft


English translation:
Silent as fog lies the heaviness
Not oppressive, just familiar
This old, cold emptiness
That has built itself a nest

Tingling before the first leap
A voice whispers loudly "No"
But the soul sings the young one
What could it be?

A crack breaks the silence
Like sunlight through a gray day
And suddenly the will gives way
To curiosity for a new day

Untried powers awaken
In me like the dawn
All the unlived dreams
Break through the old hardship

Amazement, pure childlike amazement
Childlike amazement
What is possible when boundaries fall
Not won, no... found
The mountain was never too high...
...for my will!

Untried powers flow
Like a stream through my chest
Seeds that sprout into blossoms
From the courage to enjoy life

Fear sits quietly beside me
No longer the driver, just a guest
I don't know where the boundaries lie
And that's not weakness... that's strength 

Silent as fog lay the heaviness
Now lies peace, warm and wide
In the depths of my soul
Lives the untried power

Unversuchte Kraft

Cast of Characters:
Surfers Like Us– @user-411502040 –Artur–composition, arrangement, and Fender Jaguar delayed, foundational rhythm guitar
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender Stratocaster electric guitar, production, mix, and mastering
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – electric piano and organ
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick fretless four-string bass and PRS EG semi-hollow body electric guitar

First of all, we wish the happiest Thanksgiving to all our wonderful SoundCloud friends and family. This song began as a twinkle in Artur's eye a couple months ago. Hey composed it with his Jaguar, as that is the premium surf guitar out there, and shared it with Tez, who invited the rest of us onto the project. 
   Tez, being the first on the boat, added his thrilling guitar fills and solos first. It was kind of odd the way we did this one, in fact, with the melodic/chordal instruments first, followed by the rhythm section. That said, JJ was next up to bat, adding his magical electric piano and soaring organ. Ken was first up for the backline, adding his driving drums. Josh then finally added his fretless bass to the stew. But before he was done, Josh also added the guitar solo you hear from 1:30-1:55. 
  After it was all said and done, we asked Tez to mix it for us, as he is a master producer and mixer. 
  This is the latest in a long line of surf rock songs of Artur's we've been fortunate enough to get to play with. He is the surfingest Polish fellow you will ever come across, and a wonderful, familiar collaborator with Eclectic Collective. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Surf Vibe (Eclectic Collective with Surfers Like Us)

Mysterious and intrigue-laden musical backdrop for a modern mystery, investigation, study or forensic fact-finding. Great music for journalism, detective work, investigating a story or going behind the headlines in a political drama. (Stem files available.)

Linear Focus

This piece was inspired by a particular Shakespeare sonnet.

                      Sonnet 106
          
When in the chronicle of wasted time
I see descriptions of the fairest wights,
And beauty making beautiful old rhyme,
In praise of ladies dead and lovely knights,
Then, in the blazon of sweet beauty's best,
Of hand, of foot, of lip, of eye, of brow,
I see their antique pen would have express'd
Even such a beauty as you master now.
So all their praises are but prophecies
Of this our time, all you prefiguring;
And, for they look'd but with divining eyes,
They had not skill enough your worth to sing:

For we, which now behold these present days,
Have eyes to wonder, but lack tongues to praise.

Descriptions Of The Fairest Wights

🎶 Mestizo Tribute to Gilbert Favre el gringo de Sagarnaga

MARIO & Collettivo Undersound

❤️ I’ve always loved Gilbert Favre.  Even if, for a long stretch of my life — the part where I chose to be heterosexual and walk beside Barbara Erskine — I had to be jealous of a ghost.Barbara was Gilbert’s wife. This year, the grandchildren are arriving: the twins and little Jona.I met them when they were smaller than my own granddaughters. Life moves in spirals, and somehow we all keep meeting again inside the same melody.

🎼 Who Gilbert Favre Really Was

🎵 Gilbert Favre (1936–1998) was a Swiss clarinetist trained at the Conservatory of Geneva.But his life changed when he traveled to South America as assistant to ethnographer Jean Christian Spahni.There, in the Bolivian altiplano, he discovered the quena, the Andean flute that would become his voice.

🏛️ In La Paz, he founded La Peña Naira, a cultural cabaret near Plaza San Francisco.It became a sanctuary for diplomats, artists, poets, and musicians searching for a new Bolivian identity.

🎶 Favre co‑founded Los Jairas, one of the most influential groups in the history of Andean music.Their fusion of traditional rhythms with modern arrangements helped launch the neo‑folklore movement, inspiring countless musicians across Bolivia, Chile, Peru, France, and Switzerland.

🌄 He collaborated with legendary artists of the Andean renaissance, shaping a sound that still echoes today in festivals, conservatories, and street corners from La Paz to Paris.

💔 Violeta Parra and the Desert

Gilbert’s life intertwined with that of Violeta Parra, one of Latin America’s greatest artists.Their love was passionate, volcanic, and ultimately tragic.After their final rupture, Violeta wrote “Gracias a la Vida”, one of the most iconic songs in world music.

🌵 The story goes that she left him stranded in the Bolivian desert —no water, no cigarettes, only the wind and the quena.

🌬️ Why Our Lives Mirror Each Other

In some strange way, our paths resemble each other.The only difference is: Gilbert was confident. I was a mess.But music — and life — were our common denominator.

🌬️ We were both sons of Pan.Children of the wind.Nomads of sound.

🌍 Moisdon‑la‑Rivière: The Last Chapter

Today, in France — precisely in Moisdon‑la‑Rivière — Gilbert Favre is still celebrated.Not as a ghost, not as a myth, but as a rebellious musician, a philosopher of the cosmos, a seeker of ancient truths.

🪈 A flutist who carried the Andes in his breath.A mestizo of spirit long before the word became fashionable.

✨ Why This Album Exists

In this strange, attentive, and synchronistic year, we decided to dedicate an entire space to Gilbert.

In this album, we’ve woven together:

    🎸 fretless bass
    🪕 saturated sitar
    🎶 pan flutes
    🥁 zydeco‑inspired percussion
    🌗 modal mestizo harmonies
    🔥 acoustic trance textures

🌌 The Meaning of “Mestizo”

The title — Mestizo — comes from the Spanish word for “mixed blood.”Once used as an insult, here it becomes a badge of honor.

Because maybe the truth is:✨ Only the vagabonds of the stars can truly be mestizos.
