My Life In Reverse

Me and my younger son fell in love with this beautiful country and its people when we visited B.C. and Alberta in 2023 doing a roundtrip of 7500 km starting from Vancouver. The picture was taken on Vancouver Island near Tofino. View on what should be Wickaninnish Island. Before Tofino, we took the Inside Passage by Ferry starting from Prince Rupert to Port Hardy. One of most beautiful Boat trips I ever did.

Lost Art of Love

Remixed, tweaked and remastered versions of the first three tracks my lockdown project from back in 2020... Originally mixed on very cheap headphones so I thought it would be interesting to revisit with some better kit. I'l upload the rest of the tracks at some point...

(Verse 1)
Riding the skies in his winged chariot
Thor brings the storm, the wind and riot
His hammer's echo shakes the sky
As lightning bolts dance from his eyes
A god of old, with power to command
The skies obey his mighty hand

(Chorus)
Thor, Thor, you're the thunder god
With Mjolnir's might, you shake the ground
Thor, Thor, Thor, you're the thunder god
Guardian of the stormy sea
Lorridi

(Verse 2)
With each crack and flash, you paint the night
I hear the rumble, the thunder's might
With every strike, the sky quakes
With thunderbolts, the earth shakes
A god of old, with power to command
The skies obey his mighty hand

(Chorus)
Thor, Thor, you're the thunder god
With Mjolnir's might, you shake the ground
Thor, Thor, Thor, you're the thunder god
Guardian of the stormy sea
Lorridi

(Solo)

(Bridge)
In every storm I hear his voice
A reminder of his mighty choice
To protect the brave and vanquish fear
The thunder god is always near

(Chorus)
Thor, Thor, you're the thunder god
With Mjolnir's might, you shake the ground
Thor, Thor, Thor, you're the thunder god
Guardian of the stormy sea
Lorridi

J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- organ, electric piano, drums, synth sax, synth bass, composition and arrangement 

Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – guitar 

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

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

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – lap steel  

This ripe piece of funk started with JJ essentially composing it on the e. Piano, organ, drums, synth sax, ands synth bass. He had the Eclectic Collective in mind when he did so, though. 

JJ actually is playing his drum kit on this one, so funkily that we decided to keep his drums in there. That didn't leave a whole lot of room for Ken to get in on it, but he managed to add a really cool ehru part. The ehru is a two stringed Asian violin with a distinct high percussive sound. J

J's bass line was so well played and solid, we decided to keep it in there, too, which also left Josh searching for a place in the mix. He decided to go last with the lap slide to anchor the foundation of the blues idiom. But he did that after Stephen and Tez cast their spells on the song with their magical guitars. 

Tez can be heard with the trippy, delay-heavy staccato lines, and Stephen with the silky smooth crying blues lines throughout. 

  Of course, every great song needs a great mixer and producer, and we're lucky enough to have Stephen to do the honors on this one for us.

  This song represents The Eclectic Collective at our funky finest, and we always enjoy and appreciate when JJ starts a song for us. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it. 

  If you really dig it, and have read the whole way to the bottom, please consider sharing this, too. We all appreciate your ears and support.

Nose in the showcase 
clouding the fate
 Counting the days,  
it was a long wait  
Sand in the shoes
 There was … no pain.

Kicking the stones  
To not return home  
Waiting the train  
Just To smash the coin  
Bleeding knees  
All was … a glee

Those were the days,  
Those were the nights

Roll the dice
 Playing Risk
 Who’s turn is it.
So purify
 Wonder dreams
Like a gleam

Pride in the pinball 
Watch for the thug
 Moove the machine  
Control the tilt
 Look for the way  
The green light… is on

Those were the days ,  
Those were the nights

Roll the dice  
Playing Risk  
Who’s turn is it.
So purify
 Wonder dreams  
Like a gleam

For all was the first time.
 First kiss, first broken heart  
The future didn’t exist 
But time run, run fast.

Last Goodbye (with KRUTOVA)

An audio doodle that I jammed out when contemplating the ridiculous and physically impossible idea of a consciousness existing beyond the event horizon of a singularity. It's a fun thought though :)

Singularity

Back in 2024 Dan C E Kresi and myself started working on a few ideas. Being the master of slicing and splicing that he is, he took some guitar parts I recorded and twisted them into something new....
Something called... OKTOPIA

These are the first tracks to be finished with more to come later.

Our styles may be very different, but when galaxies collide, sometimes magic happens! :)
