ZEMANDAN - The Swedish Paradox

Original Composition / Production : Eli Churnega / Chris Dargay

Out of Time

It's been a while since I put out a jazz tune so I decided to put out this standard by Gershwin played on my nylon string. I had a look at a few different examples of sheet music for this one. Interestingly there seem to be quite a few variations of the chords. One of the beauties of jazz! I used the chords in a cool old songbook I bought at a garage sale. The tune was written in the 1930s so I reckon the songbook is as old as 1940s. 

A simple chordal representation of the tune. Hope you enjoy!

Summertime (by George Gershwin)

They: Keep it light, keep it simple.

Me: Epic orchestral roar, utterly bombastic and grandiose! 👈🎵💥🔥👈

Rhapsodia Rubra

Cuidame los Gatos

August Daze

👉Track grows with every bar, stacking intensity until it explodes💣
What begins raw turns massive🚀

It’s a daydream’s price tag
left behind – no cares, busy kick-flippin
Lunchbox crown on a jet-lag stag
card tricks spill while the crowd keeps sippin
Got a coin-flip swagger on a Tuesday frame
spit barcodes ‘til the cash looks tame
Basslines for parking fines
mark my words in the subway signs

Polished fork in a shoebox crown
grinning at the law while the law looks down
Half-smile killer with a boarding pass
Sniper…smile…Police…–hit your class
Slide in the room like a glass full of thunder
Credit card cut, still I’m cashin’ that wonder
Bootleg saints in a moonlit van
With a cigarette glow and a one-hand plan
You took my go, you took my flo
And on Christmas you took my snow – what the hell is wrong with you?
-He’s wild
Bass light dads in the folding chairs
telling ghost stories ‘bout the wrong bass snares
“You keep that low end out my yard
or I’ll tax your kicks like a credit card
 
Why you walk like that?  
‘Cause the ground’s afraid of me, babe  
Why you talk like that?  
‘Cause the words just beg to misbehave  
But I keep drums loud in a paper-thin hall
make the wallpaper sweat ‘til the portraits fall
Sugarcoat venom in a handshake scheme
flip that script like a vending machine

Bass light dads in the back of the lot  
Turn it down – you know what you got 
I said no, I said no, I said I run this show  
Bass light dads gonna let it all blow  
Bass Light Dads – can’t turn me down
Kick so deep it’ll shake your town
Sniper smile Police–eyes on the crown
Every beat I drop’s like a four-ton pound

Then Dreymond Green say
Sit the fuck down, son – I got a story to tell 
It’s a long one, you might be old before we’re done as well  
G is for Green – and ya’ll know what that mean  
He has no wish to be seen… unless he’s on the scene  

Shot his own pet alligator in the yard last week  

So, Six million pizzas to bake, hence a rush, need more ovens
Kanye nods-agrees, now play that beat
An aligator down in backyard, dogs fell, rumors of humans too
Dinsdale Piranha cameo drop–whispers in shadows 
-you must be new in the hood
I got jailhouse manners in a limousine mood
pocket full of rumors and a fork for food
I’m the landlord’s landlord, rent in reverse
charge you for breathing and bill you for thirst
Crosswalk outlaw with a frostbite tongue
make a grown man run when the beat gets swung

Why you walk like that?  
‘Cause the ground’s afraid of me, babe  
Why you talk like that? 
‘Cause the words just beg to misbehave  
But I keep drums loud in a paper-thin hall
bitch please, her dance break knees, with ease 
like the dancing Israelis
Flip that script like a vending machine
Tie clip sharp like a crowbar smile in a concrete dive
Sniper…Smile…Police-shadowing every mile
Bass light dads on the back porch glare
but I blow their caps off with the kick right there

Turn it down–you know what you got
I said no, I said no, I said I run this show  
Bass light dads gonna let it all blow  
Bass Light Dads–can’t turn me down
Kick so deep it’ll shake your town
Sniper-smile-Police–eyes on the crown
Every beat I drop’s like a four-ton pound

Run your whole block like a crossword clue
and the answer’s always just don’t be you

Sniper Smile Police–better grin real wide  
Sniper stale police – you can’t run, can’t hide  
They’ll summon your face like a late-night sin  
Catch you stone-faced, and the board go in  
Fold that map ‘cause I win the streets
turn left twice just to meet my beats

I’m the madest page missing in a holy book
got the preacher’s car keys and a the party look
Run my hands through the skyline’s hair
while the city screams back, you don’t live here
 I’ll paint your shadow on a billboard sign
then sell it back twice just to make it mine

Bass Light Dads – can’t turn me down
Kick so deep it’ll shake your town
SNIPER-SMILE-POLICE–never backing down
Every beat I drop’s like a four-ton pound

Lyrics:
Woke up to the grey sky mourn  
Feeling like a page is torn  
Every breath a chilly sigh  
As hope and shadows pass me by

Footsteps echo on the street  
Puddles where the raindrops meet  
Umbrellas dance a sombre waltz  
Every glance a secret false

Cloudy days they come and go  
Painting stars in quiet woe  
Rainy whispers soothe the soul  
In the mist we find our role

Things like fog they're hard to hold  
Stories in the weather told  
Every cloud a blanket soft  
Catching tears that drift aloft

Sometimes sunshine hides away  
Waiting for a brighter day  
But in rain there's peace to find  
Clarity for the heart and mind  
Wave goodbye to fleeting gloom  
Found a rose about to bloom  
Petals open in the rain  
Beauty springs from gentle pain

Dreams like fog they're hard to hold  
Stories in the weather told  
Every cloud a blanket soft  
Catching tears that drift aloft

Sometimes sunshine hides away

An unstoppable emotional darkwave anthem: cinematic, seductive, rebellious and euphoric, A cyberpunk odyssey fusing deep tech trance, vaporwave nostalgia and glitch-infused dubstep with orchestral grandeur.

Sometimes Sunshine Hides Away


A slow, hypnotic and heavy dubstep track blending cinematism and subtle psytrance influences. Massive sub-bass, glitchy industrial FX. A monstrous hypnotic and immersive 2025 electronic beast of a track.

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.

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
