Inspired by a particularly emotional sequence during an episode of Rick & Morty, I took to my DAW to lay down my own version of the background music and took the liberty of adding 2+ minutes of vaporwave / dance track to the end.  My interpolation of the "Sad Rick BackStory" music. Only in my version, he finds and kills the s##t out of Evil Rick and Evil Morty. Enjoy....      

P.S. I would absolutely love to score a sci-fi space themed movie or animation project one day. If you're making one, hit me up. ;)

Lost Civilisation

Jung believed that death is not the end, but a transition to a new state of being. He also thought that we can find meaning in life by exploring our unconscious and discovering our true self. I'm fascinated by his ideas that inspired me for this song.

A few weeks ago, Anna B May called for a remix competition to remix her song "In Another Life".

As you can see, my entry was unfortunately not among the winners. But I had a lot of fun and the words of appreciation from Anna, Kasique and lost.empathy were reward enough.

Feel free to watch the live contest with all the participants:

Anna B May's "In Another Life" |  remix by frank mehl

When me and my friend P cured ourselfs on Sundays after a long weekends parties did we have a long jamsession. We made random patterns in our Atari ST program (Hybrid arts). P did mix them in and I jammed along with improvised melodies. One time we decided to start our DAT tape recorder and recorded the jamsession. We named it Spacemaze. We used this concept when we played on the new ambient club Anemon in Stockholm all of our work like that was namned Spacemaze.

I got in hibernation but have recently started to make music again ...It has taken sometime to get used to the new stuff compared to back then. But slowly learning everything.

This is the first part of Spacemaze Apollo I the 2nd part will be made by P aka Pax https://on.soundcloud.com/MH3f3HvSY5wZ4B3L8 .

Once we have enough material to make Spacemace Apollo I complete will we release it under our original Artist name and post the final result on Sound Cloud. This is our sound when we where in our prime together.

Spacemaze Apollo I _ part 1

Spacemaze Apollo I part 3

Way back when, my friend J and I used to jam our Sundays away on our Atari. Me mixing our own pre-recorded loops and unique, melodic arpeggios and J improvising melodies over that mix, often resulting in hourlong opuses. I have fond memories of long sessions that almost felt like they were beyond time and space; just creative capsules of music and intuitive collaboration. Not many words were uttered; we spoke with each other through the music.

Now, many years and other priorities later, we have rekindled our musical co-creativity and breathed new life into our old format from those jam sessions: Spacemaze, but with a different take on the collab because of geographical reasons. J has made Spacemaze Apollo I part 1 and 3 and this is my continuation of the project, part 2. We aim to continue this project together and post our finished mixes on SC under our old band name, @PekPax.

Pulseless (2024)

Cast of characters:
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ—piano, synth, lead vocals, lyrics, seed idea 
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–electric and acoustic guitar, slide guitar intro 
mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark – backing vocals, organ, vst sax, mix, and production
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 – four-string fretless bass
Composition--The Eclectic Collective

  This song began as an idea JJ came up with during one of his Saturday night creative sessions, fleshed out on the piano, drums, and bass. I was first on this by coming up with a new bass line to go with it, but Ken was also an integral part of that process, as always, too, adding his perfectly suited drums to it. Once we had the rhythm section down, Stephen added his electric guitar, which adds a great howling at the moon esthetic to it, and his acoustic guitar as a foundational element. He also added the cool slide guitar you hear in the intro. 
  At this point, JJ decided it needed some vocals, too. So, he wrote up some lyrics and sang them, giving his typically light, gentle voice some rough swagger. Mark then came along and added the rich backing vocals you hear in there. He also added the sax solo and the organ, too He also was able to correct some timing issues we were having, by using his able hand in the DAW. Then, of course as every good song needs a good mix, Mark did the honors for us with this one, too.
  This is a true Eclectic Collective song, and we hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it.   Also, in case you were wondering where Josh and Tez have been, they've both just returned from vacations in North Carolina and Ireland, but are excited to be back making music with the team.
Original lyrics by JJ Terrell:
That fog around the mountain

is getting set to rise

pulling these wheels on down the road lord

is pulling my heart right out


If you really love someone now

wouldn't you want it to be a hundred to none?

instead of traveling around with a scorecard by your side


ooooh oh yeah

gonna set you free


ooooh, oh yeah

gonna leave you be
that fog around the mountain
it's like a dream
my heart, it has soon forgotten
a rolling stone like me

saxophone
looking down that dusty road
sun's beatin' down

pulling these wheels on down the road lord
has got me down
until I see you again. 




That Dusty Road (Eclectic Collective)

Soundtrack music for horror film or video game inspired by the work of John Harrison.

Cast of characters: 

Quanah Stewart --vocals, lyrics
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–electric guitar, synths, arrangement, composition, mix, and production 
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 – four-string fretless bass
 
This song began with Stephen and his friend and bandmate, Quanah Stewart who also sings this version, and who wrote the lyrics. They were in a band together for about 7 years in the early 2000s. When the band broke up, they went many years without playing together. Until, in 2018 Stephen started his TexMex shaman project and this was one of the first songs he wrote.  Quanah had moved to Austin in the meantime but on a visit back to Dallas, Stephen asked him to come over and add the vocal track you hear on the song.  
 
Fast forward to 2024 and Stephen wanted to remix this along with a few other older tunes. He asked his good friends and teammates Ken and me if we'd like to help, and of course, we were super enthusiastic.  This is what Stephen had to say about the finished product. "Their parts blew me away.  Beyond what I expected and it made it a whole new song.  Very grateful to them both for their time and talent." As are Ken and I very grateful to Stephen for sharing his awesome rocker with us.  
  The title comes from trying to think of the stupidest song title Stephen could come up with, on a bet. And it’s close. 
  Of course, Stephen did the honors of mixing and producing it. Ken and Josh had a lot of fun brining this song back to life with him, whose creativity and skill are unparalleled. We all hope you (and Quanah) enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it. 
Original Lyrics by Quanah Stewart:

Pharaon

Old frozen scenes
where daylight breathes
and fades away
As they roam and seek
how it feels unreal
left here today

Gone, the past has gone
forever gone
As hope, keeps holding on
keeps holding on

Old echoed dreams
they crawl and weave
then fade away
Not much left to believe
as the past it creaks
here today
