This is a little preview of the new album. It will be in the atmosphere of the 80s and, largely thanks to my friends, it will be played live... I've been a bit busy and sick lately, so I apologize to my friends once again for not responding to entries.... best regards...

Friends are coming back for Christmas

This is a remix with different vibe and beat. 
The reason for making this version was that along the way we tried in this direction, to take advantage of the draft we decided to finish it as well.
Thanks @xian3 for the amazing colaboration...

Stranger (remix) wt xian3

My second collaboration with the fantastic Eclectic Collective. Thank you for this awesome experience, Josh, Ken, Stephen, JJ, and Tez!

Cast of characters:
Tea R. Sea @tea_are_sea -- Terry – Synthesizers, beats, composition
Llanpsych–@llanpsych –Tez– Fender Stratocaster electric guitar
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– Tom Anderson Top T Classic
 electric wah guitar, mix, and production
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- Yamaha Genos 2 electric piano, tambourine, and triangle
K2 and the Three [and the Four] -- @k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1– Custom five-string fretless bass

This song started as a basic, yet melodically very strong composition by Terry involving him playing a synthesizer over a beat he created. He first shared it with Stephen, as they are regular collaborators in their project, Texas Tea, which are worth checking out on both of their pages, as well. Stephen then turned it over the the Eclectic Collective to work our magic on it.
  Josh was first up to the plate with this one, adding his deep, five string fretless bass to Terry's rudimentary beat. Ken was next up, however, adding the driving drum beat you hear, for which he used Terry's beat as a template and augmented a full kit sound to it. Stephen followed Ken, adding his striking wah guitar part to the whole thing. Tez was up soon after with his searing guitar soloing towards the end. Last, but certainly not least, JJ added the soulful electric piano you hear giving it a funk throughout, as well as the tambourine and the cool triange dings. 
  Now that it was in the bag, we decided to ask Stephen to produce and mix it for us, which he did in his typical expert fashion, as well as the doing the mastering, too.
  This is our holiday offering to all our fans, friends, colleagues, and peers. While it's not particularly a holiday song, it's a good display of where we are musically, and shows some of the flavor we want to add in the new year. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it. Happy holidays to you, and many happy returns!

Behind The Dam

“The person 
who allows oneself 
to be exuded (poured out)
in weeping 
and a music 
which is no longer like it 
in anything, (in anything)

at the same time 
allows the stream 
of what is not itself 
to flow back 
into it, 
what is not itself 

and what was dammed up 

behind the dam 
of the world of things.”

A Call For Peace

My inspiration...

Don’t Tell Me,   
Music and Poem by Jennifer L. Jones

Don’t tell me you love me, or tell me I’m yours, 
Don’t tell me to be there, I can’t do any more.
Don't tell me you're sorry, or tell me you'll change,
And tell me you need me, and just walk away, 
Don't tell me what I feel, or tell me you're scared,
Just tell me the truth, if you even dare.
You were my knight, and I was Gueneviere.
What happened to us is all said and done.
A new chapter of life has now begun.

Don't Tell Me

Probably the shortest song I've ever written!!
We have some very old cemeteries here in Killingworth CT that I like to visit every now and then. On one visit I found a very crude stone that was mostly buried in dirt and leaves. The slab was marked “E. Buell 1747 age 1 month ” or something similar. It was very crudely made from a piece of slate and the lettering was scratched in with a knife or a nail. I can only imagine the circumstances that it was made in, someone with little skill or resources just making what they could to mark the burial site of someone who never had a chance at life…

Faint breeze willow trees
Careful not to shatter me
Here below the  sod and leaves
Scratches on a stone
One day ill live again
And sing the song that might have been
Rest in silence until then
Just scratches on a stone…

Scratches on a Stone

Better No

Is This Techno?

Two Forms Under A Shady Tree

There we were waiting
As it always seems to be
The evening closing in around us
Distance as far as the eye could see
We held each other tightly
A warning to the insinuating cold
That this here between us
Will become a storied tale of old

Our time is now and before us
Were bound together and will forever be
Two forms under a shady tree
Two forms under a shady tree

The snowflakes did their dance
In ringlets and spirals they fell
Forming upon every surface
A cocoon preserving yesterday well
But today was a new day
That projects what lay ahead
So hand slides into hand
And head leans against head

Our time is now and before us
Were bound together and will forever be
Two forms under a shady tree
Two forms under a shady tree

It's the burden for time now
To pose its weary questions and try to dispel
Like every union ever made
That had risen before they fell
But make no mistake for this is a special one
Poised and ready to take its stand
To assign itself victorious
And tread the hourglass of sand

Our time is now and before us
Were bound together and will forever be
Two forms under a shady tree
Two forms under a shady tree

We took that arduous journey
That's claimed many a pair
We emerge in the wake of every discord
Undisturbed by avarice or lack of care
The morning sun shines brightly
As the trees stretched to meet the day
We smile as we whisper in each other's ear
The only words we've ever needed to say

Our time is now and before us
Were bound together and will forever be
Two forms under a shady tree
Two forms under a shady tree
