The Loss Of An Unknown Friend is an orchestral composition that sets the tone for the WWI-themed game 'No Mans Land.' With its mournful piano and powerful strings, it captures the essence of camaraderie and loss in the trenches.

narration: the thirteen canto poem finds its way into sound, a slice at a time

poem / copyright jo richter

How long he stayed, he could not tell.
He worked ferociously, sounding all
existence that had touched upon him into
being: the smell of meadows, the curl of
ripples, the calm that centers in a storm;
the timbre of voices, the straight lines of buildings,
the aloofness of announcers on the radio.
His desk was cluttered, his mind strove clear.


When he did not write, he‘d read up on
the origins of his ancient art: Vergil and Dante,
Marlow and Shakespeare, Homer and Joyce,
Ovidus, Cervantes, Rabelais and Wieland.
He felt the linguistic seeds, blown from foreign
stems, grow filaments deep in his native soil, he
saw them ripen, flower profusely, yielding
their beauty to ever-changing mentalities.


And as his insight widened and he gained
perspective, the rows of encyclopedias
and dictionaries that lined his shelves
slimmed down, as he gave up consulting
English for French and German, these for
Latin and Greek, those for Persian and Sanskrit,
until he only referred to Indo-European roots.
His desk turned clear, his mind became uncluttered.


Eventually, he also slept and dreamt
whenever the veil sank upon him.
Guarded by the spire‘s safe walls, he would
awaken slowly, remembering outlandish
lore, scribbling notes and poems of bizarre
truthfulness and penning recollections of his
archetypal ties. Some of his realistic verse de-
rived from fragments of prolonged poetic trance.


 His muse meanwhile taught him to cook, the
art of mixing individual ingredients to bring about
a taste all of its own that nourishes both mind and
physicality. The painters tend to fixate on surface
and colour, she said, the musicians on timing
the process, whereas the poets never get anything
done, enchanted by words like ‚ginger‘ or ‚yeast‘.
All of their dishes taste awful.

Cast of Characters:

mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark—piano, composition

Mysterious Decibel--@themysteriousdecibel --MD—lyrics and primary vocals

TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– electric guitar

J.J. Terrell–@j-j-terrell –organ, synth

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

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –-four string fretless bass guitar, lap steel 

This was brought to us by Mark, who had written it a while back, but wanted to dust it off and give the Eclectic Collective a shot at it. He recorded it with a keen eye toward collaboration with an electric piano synth with heavy stereo tremolo. We just recently found Mark, and he has proven to be a very creative, passionate, and easy to work with collaborator—all the good things. 
  Mark set it loose to Josh first, who of course got Ken in on the act before anything else could transpire. After Ken added his wildly creative, very skillful drum beat, Josh was able to come up with a suitable bass line. He also came up with the lap slide part you hear with the heavy tremolo. Then they turned it over to Stephen, who added a very psychedelic, electrifying solo at the end. Also, JJ set upon it with a very hooky organ. 
  Last, but certainly not least, MD came up with the lyrics, which are a metaphor for trying to break into the business of music, and delivered his fiery vocals, too. Then, we all realized that the song wasn't long enough for our ambitions, so Ken came up with an idea for the arrangement, and lengthened the song to suit our needs. He also very ably mixed and produced this one for us. We had a lot of fun working on Mark's tune. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it. 

Lyrics (by The Mysterious Decibel):
 
Sometimes when we shout they can't hear us under the flow
Of the rapids

I'm screaming from the other side of the river
A shot to try
can you hear me?
I'm jumping in and swimming straight to you

All I can say is I tried
I tried and I met my own waterfall
A short way down
Did I try hard enough?
Cuz I hit the rocks below just hard enough
To hibernate me without a care
It's all just business and never fair

Away With The Rapids…-Eclectic Collective

K-Rock and Roll Part 2.5

Come one, come all for the holidays
Come Sally and Suzie and her cousin Ray
I love you all, you’re welcome to stay
But you gotta be gone by New Year’s day
The moon and the stars will be shining bright
Let’s stay up and talk all through the night
I wanna hear all the things that you wanna say
But you gotta be gone by New Year’s day
To see you here truly warms my heart
Almost as much as when you depart.
I’ve known you since God knows when
Since God knows when, you and I’ve been friends
But be forever damned, be forever cursed
If you’re not gone by Jan’ry first.
We’re gonna torch the town in a maelstrom of fun
We’re gonna take off our clothes and moon everyone
And if we’re out of jail by New Year’s eve
Come the very next day you gotta leave
To see you here truly warms my heart
Almost as much as when you depart
I think of you always with love in my heart
Especially when we’re far apart
And if things gotta end may they always end well
And by New Year’s day, you’ll be somewhere else.
Come one, come all for the holidays
Come Sally and Suzie and her cousin Ray
Love you all, you’re welcome to stay
But you gotta be gone by New Year’s day
You gotta be gone by New Year’s day.

New Year's Day

I always had to wear the mask on
Pretended to be someone, someone who wasn't me
I was afraid to show myself
Didn't let anyone get to close
Didn't know how to be

But you, saw me for who i am
I didn't have to pretend
You saw the real me
It felt like i had been found
And i could let the mask fall to the ground

I had built myself a wall, of heavy rocks
where no one could get trough
I tried so hard to hide
That i almost forgot that i had you

Oh you saw me for who i am
I didn't have to pretend
You saw the real me
It felt like i had been found
And i could let the mask fall to the ground

When I am with you i feel so free
I can be the real me

Oh you see me for who I am
I don't have to pretend
You see the real me
It feels like i have been found
And i can let the mask fall to the ground....

The Mask W/ Janne Hennie

My punk arse needed to play something very raw immediately! Like right NOW! :) Gonna get bumpy and you've being warned! hell yeah, one minute (and now by persistent request two minutes :)! I bet it finishes earlier when you press a Skip button :P  

I broke 3 good guitar picks on my Yamaha electric bass on this outburst! and grinding the Fender Silver Bullet strings on Fender Strat, (couple of those on the cover art... ney I got more solid ones, but soft picks gave nice feel to jamn').  Played by me on Fender Start and Yamaha Electric bass. Used Line 6 Pod XT and B-52 LS-100 Head and 4x12 B-52 cab.

Lyrics:

And now I'm staring at the crossroad
Tossing coins and trying to break the code 
Divine connection for the download 
Divine erection and now source is flowed
I would have thought by now the way of Tao would show me how to clear the dust 
Grasping at stardust as dreams go to bust 
Lusting for clarity and staring at hope 
Wishing to give her the thrust
When the ball and chain is me  partnering mistrust 
It's all a projection 
Leading me down the path of misdirection 
I chant my mantras to my inner light to light my soul bright 
Write down my ways that arn't right and burn em at night 
I light my soul bright my spirit ignite 
Invite my holy might to see what's right to my truth's site 
you gotta fight for what is right inside of you

Life can never figure out where to go
But I know deep inside your soul
You know what guides you
Fight for what you know is true inside of you 
and you will too
see you were the answer 
to the question

so many voices inside my head
should i listen to them all and sing along or just play deaf
so many mantras to cross the mind
but still i've this vague feeling that i'm more declined than refined
so should i walk this path to climb up a hill that someone else heaped up for me just to keep me still
or can i walk my path, sitting on a rim, and listen to the wonders without and within

You are now listening to the sounds of inspiration
the sound motivation
visualization
real life perspiration
of people doing their thang
living their dream 
aspiring to great heights 
keeping the spirit of humanity alive
and bright to lighten up all our lives ha

Something simple as a dream and some inspiration
A little heart, a sudden spark, and some motivation
Place it together to head to your destination
Know that you ego will never give you confirmation

We all take some time
To settle on in
Get comfy in our own skin

We try to be cool
We try to out shine
We like to think this world is mine
All mine

Well now I’m a little bit older
I find it’s all right
To just be me
And you be you

I might not be a rock star
Might not ever go too far 
From this moment with you

But no matter how far I travel
I’m sliding into my comfortable shoes
My comfortable shoes

If I’m not a rock star
In my comfortable shoes
Don’t worry
If that’s the truth
I won’t sing the blues
As long as I can sing to you
To you

On the front porch
Swinging with you
Knowing life’s secret truths
It’s the little things

Laughter and loving
Caring and hugging 
Holding on to you
And sliding into my comfortable shoes
My comfortable shoes

One more day
Planning my great escape
To the land of the free
Ocean waves and bare feet
Can’t wait to get away

Made enough mistakes today
A crazy world has its own way,
Spinning me ‘round and ‘round
Slow it down

And giving thanks for the warmth of the Sun
Because when it’s all said and done
If there’s something better, I can think of none
It’s like a kiss from above
I’m giving thanks for the warmth of the Sun

The Sun

Friends of mine ask what’s going on inside
Giving me stacks of advice
What they don’t realize
Warm my bones and I’m all right
‘cause what I need is found in sunshine

And give thanks for the warmth of the Sun
Because when all is said and done
If there’s something better, I can think of none
It’s like a kiss from above
I’m giving thanks for the warmth of the Sun

“Candle”

Music by Monsoon Cortex (@monsooncortex)
Lyrics and vocals by Wild Christopher (@wild-christopher-lyrics)

In the dark of night
Trapped inside my own head
Need to breakout instead
See a flicker of light

My faith ignites 
Keep the candle burning
It’s gonna be alright
It’s gonna be alright
It’s gonna be alright

It's daybreak
Oh the sun it soothes my soul
Daybreak
I think it’s gonna go my way 

As faith ignites 
Keeps the candle burning
It’s gonna be alright
Be alright
Be alright

This life is a life of a thousand possibilities
My spirits ascends to fly 
And I realize the world has a blanket 
It has a blanket of light

This world has a blanket of light
And it’s gonna be alright
Gonna be alright

Things are gonna get better
Things are gonna get better
It’s alright
