The Answer

Cast of Characters:  

Roy Roy – @user-967672349 – Roy – foundational guitar, composition, and arrangement 

J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- organ, electric piano, synth sax, synth strings, synth brass, production, and mix 

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– whah guitar, and mastering 

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

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – 4-string fretless bass  

This song began as a well developed, funky disco idea Roy came up with on his guitar, and shared with JJ. JJ added a wonderfully complex orchestration of various keys (including the sax solo you hear towards the end.    JJ invited Stephen first, who came up with the funky ass wah guitar that also carries the groove. 

Of course, JJ realized that this is a disco song, so he enlisted Ken to come up with one of his awesome beats to carry it along. 

JJ had a rudimentary bass line that he played himself, but decided to get Josh to do the honors instead. So, Josh came up with a totally new bass line designed to shake your cheeks. 

Once it was in the can, we decided to ask JJ to mix it for us. This is a first time JJ has mixed a song for The Eclectic Collective, and we were all impressed with his work. Stephen mastered it, as he is a master masterer.    

We're all really impressed and delighted with the experience of working with Roy and his music. He is a very talented artist with a lot of great music to check out on his page, too.   We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it, and that it makes you shake your hips while you're doing the dishes, too!

Distortion in places, which I couldn't get rid of; needs to be done at source(the synth lead) by Val Akey.

Some of the best music around today is #UNSIGNED so don’t dismiss 
it without a listen; it is a #MYTH that it is inferior to #SIGNED music!
>
Don't let the MUSIC INDUSTRY FOOL YOU, the best tunes around today are #UNSIGNED, #INDEPENDENT & #UNDERGROUND!
>
And don't let anyone tell you what music to make or how to make it, JUST MAKE IT….DO WHAT YOU FEEL!
