ANY OLD THING….

original vocal track by Ian Greaves: https://soundcloud.com/ipg1/the-alert-rap-vocals-150-bpm
may be it's a crazy combination, but to me Ian's rap feels absolutely natural on the jazz beat :-) ..... according to the start of the lyrics: "Heat’s bubbling everywhere——coming to the surface —-
Straight from the underground ——so don’t go ——getting nervous" (quote) ... is this my go / with an urban jazzy flow ;-) ... photo: Lerone Pieters, Brooklyn, New York; on unsplash

The Alert / RAP by IPG1 / joerxworx jazz remix

Lyrics:

You’re getting sleepy.  Sleepier than a three toed sloth on qualludes.

Drink the tears of God as his arms wrap around the entire universe.
Caressing the sacrum that connects the main interstellar passageways.
Ones that appear to us to be nothing more than open space.
Crude images, distorted and pixelated, showing nothing more than the celestial bodies which create or reflect light.  All that does not remains unseen.

Fuddie-Duddies and Fugget Nuggets prattle on about useless platitudes and insipit gobbledygook.  Prigs and fussbudgets.  Hobnobbers and Hoo-didlies.  Fachuchies and fachachies.  Geese and fish.

Troglodyte fetuses perfumed in an iodine solution inside the inoculation chamber.
Hypothesized to create a super hominid race capable of dismembering a human arm at the rate of 9000 foot pounds per second per second per second

Deadly infectious virus spreading and suffocating
Disproportionately affecting poorer areas
Lungs
Bleeding

I had the privilege of being asked to collaborate (lyrics/vocals) on this beautiful original tune by J.J. Terrell.  Fabulous contribution also by Josh Clary (Entheogenic Psychonaught). Hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed creating!

More details on how things came together... This is a song written on the piano by JJ, who wanted to share the creative process with two of his esteemed colleagues. He asked Ross to come up with some vocals and lyrics, which Ross did in a profoundly deep way. His experience with both life and singing is really evident in this. Then JJ asked Josh to add his multi-instrumental skills to the mix. So, Josh added bass and mandolin, with the great direction of JJ and Ross. Then JJ added some synth strings to the mix, too. Finally, Ross mixed, produced, and mastered it.
This is the first time, hopefully of many, that this trio has worked together. JJ and Josh, of course, are in the Eclectic Collective together, but this was their first time working with Ross. They were both really impressed with his work, and found him a real pleasure with whom to create.

We hope you enjoy listening as much as we did recording this!

Traunstein III ........ Rmx by Morten Jeamland // EWI Trumpet Rmx by joerxworx

“Backseat Blues” is about the kind of childhood you don’t talk about — the kind where love is complicated, quiet, and wrapped in smoke and silence. It’s about learning life the hard way… from the backseat of a borrowed car, watching someone you love lose themselves one hand at a time.

I wrote this for the kids who learned too young what addiction looks like. For the ones who carried scars that never bruised. For the sons who still flinch when they hear their father’s name — and for anyone who grew up feeling like the passenger in someone else’s wreck.

If you’ve ever counted signs in the dark, or prayed someone would fold before it was too late — this song’s for you.

Thank you for listening.
