From the album "Cairn" (2024)
Featuring Pete Toigo on bass.

The Final Wager

Steer me in the right direction and I'll go
And I won't stop until I find
A bridge across the wind, passage through the rain
A workaround to buy us some more time

The final wager
We'll run the table
And love will win at last

Sort me out so I can be the kind of guy
That you would proudly call your own
The stupid things I do will not embarrass you
And you will never be alone

The final wager
We'll run the table
And love will win at last

Wind me up and I will walk the straightest line
A gauntlet of our enemies around
But just one look at me, they'll part like the red sea
And we will walk across the ground

The final wager
We'll run the table
And love will win at last

The Final Wager

I'm still experiment with different approaches to create my music, so this is a small piece based on a percussive theme. It may feel like a journey in search of unknown, undiscovered places...

Since I'm slowly returning to classical guitar, I wanted to use it as the lead instrument. I decided to use all the dirty guitar plays and experiment with different ambient sounds and of course, with the piano :)

Hidden Latitudes - part 2

Hidden Latitudes

Mostly just me playing about, but there's a bit of Charlie Villiers' guitar in there too, notably giving the outro a little touch of class.

~Lyrics~
We were sitting in your back garden 
Clouds were drifting across the sky 
You turned to me and smiled
I think you had a tear in your eye
And then taking my hand you whispered,
“When I get this high,
I sometimes get the feeling I might be just about to die!”

Then with a shrug of your shoulders 
You told us about the butterflies
That there’s no way of them knowing
That their wings look like eyes
And if you consider the caterpillar
It’ll come as no surprise
Just how very little we all know about our lives

[Chorus]
Baby you kill me, all night long
Baby you’re killing it all night…

Later on that evening
the sun was streaming through the trees
You have to just surrender to life
At moments like these
We were kicking through the fallen leaves
In the pale winter sun
And though I tried to hide it, I always knew this day would come

I recall the very moment 
You didn’t even hesitate
It was written in the heavens
And written all over your face
But the storm is in the distance
The sky is a luminous pink
You can lead me like a horse to water…

[Chorus]
🎸 🤩

Baby You Kill Me

I strained my wrist playing guitar while practicing a new piece I hope to post in a month or two, so in the meantime I decided to freshen up a short piece I had on SC from a few years ago. It’s a simple melody, a musical meditation, towards peace; the dove of peace carries this message, through many cultures and religions. Peace is needed now, more than ever. Hope you may spend 2 minutes with me to meditate.
PS. Wasn't able to master this with clarity, so headphones/earphones best.

Cast of Characters:

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. JJ'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.

Hey, it’s me again. Back with another piece from con PED —
music for the quietest moments.

A collection of twelve quiet piano works, each in its own key,
played on my 1908 upright Madame Bechstein with the sustain pedal held from start to finish.

Yours truly,
Sebastian

Back To The Harbour

>> Landing Page <<

Through veils of memory and flame, two spirits move in silent symmetry, bound by something older than time itself. Fragments of radiance linger in the spaces between them: unspoken vows, reflected strength, the calm in every storm. When the world fractures and the light fades, what remains is the pulse of trust, unbreakable, glowing softly beneath the ruins of eternity.
