Between Abstraction and Representation

You don’t know which way to stand
Is the light favorable?
Or is black now passe
I guess it’s all debatable

I’m trailing in your scent
You’re LA then New York
Ghosting like the Zephyr Train
Making sure you walk the walk
You’re caught there in between abstraction and representation
They watch you in between abstraction and representation

Though you deny you seek to impress
It’s other women for whom you get dressed
In and out of the closet you float
Strapping and weave – girdle and hose

Delaunay or Cassatt?
Hey honey bring it all back
Home . . . 

I could be jealously mad
Seeing all that attention you grab
But bedroom’s night is painting your curves
And only I will get to observe

Between Abstraction and Representation

This is a song on which I sing and play pedal steel guitar.  The song is based on a poem by my late aunt:  Pat Brandstetter.  Here is here original poem:

Riding Along
(1994)

Riding along in the car,
Beauty abounds
Wherever you are.
A kaleidoscope of trees 
Tall and green,
A patchwork of 
Lakes large and serene.
The animals look so strong 
And proud from afar.
All this beauty you take in
Riding along in a car.


Riding Along

Contours and detours
Written and recorded by TJG May 2024

Life rarely moves in straight lines—and neither does the music. Three Photons returns with "Contours and Detours", a winding, analog-rich meditation on movement, misdirection, and the beauty of the unexpected.

Contours and Detours is my take on Gershwin's Rhythm changes with my own harmonic substitutions throughout. Written in B-flat Major with a Key change in the bridge. 

Technical Details
Rhythm Guitar: Gibson ES 335
Lead Guitar: Gibson ES 335
Guitar Amplifier: Fender George Benson Hot Rod Deluxe
Fender pedal board: Line 6 delay; Fender clean boost
Mics: a pair of Royer r10 ribbons on guitars
Mic preamps: API 312
Mixer: API 24 channel summing mixer (8200/7800)
Stereo Bus processing (API EQ and API compressor)
Final mix down to a MARA MCI JH110 1/4inch 2-track at 15 ips using ATR Master Tape.

Haunting One Seven

PASACANA

Stroke Tomorrow

Cast of Characters:
J.J. Terrell–@j-j-terrell – drums, bass, and organ
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– mix, mastering, and production
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1–PRS semi hollow body electric guitar
This song began with JJ on a late Saturday night, coming up with it on the drums, bass, and organ. He had a killer jazz groove on his mind when he composed it, and was able to really bring it to life on all levels. He originally wrote it as a solo piece, but asked me if I would like to add a guitar part. I jumped at the opportunity to play an original jazz song on his guitar, and in a few days, recorded about 20 takes of it. He finally landed on the one you hear in here now. 
  We asked Stephen to mix, master, and produce it for them, which he did in his typically professional way.
  This was a fun, exciting collaboration, featuring just JJ and me, but the rest of the Eclectic Collective will be back with them next time. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.

Losing the  Paparazzi (With JJ Terrell, produced by Texmex Shaman)

Cast of characters:
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick four-string fretless bass, Roland Phantom 6 synth, vocals, lyrics, arrangement, composition
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ--  Yamaha Genos 2 and Yamaha MoXF8 
synth, organ, electric piano, and vocal harmonies
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark – clavinet     
Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender Stratocaser through a VST synth FX device
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–  Gibson Les Paul electric guitar, Fender Acoustasonic acoustic guitar, Gibson Earl Scruggs Mastertone banjo, mix, production, and mastering
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums and percussion

This song started when as a vague idea Josh came up with while listening to Lionel Richie's All Night Long followed by Michael McDonald's song Sweet Freedom. He wanted to create a song that uses that same basic structure because those are both perfect pop songs in his opinion. He came up with a rough structure on his bass and piano before enlisting the help of his team of musical superheroes. 
  Ken was first up to bat, adding his magical drums and helping Josh find a groove on his bass. Ken later added the hand percussion that adds a spicy drive to the song, too. Next up was Mark, who added the funky clavinet throughout. Stephen threw down after Ken, adding some foundational guitar to the stew. He also added the awesome banjo you hear trickling throughout. Very shortly after, Tez came through with the trippy guitar solo at the end. JJ followed with the breathy organ that lifts the whole thing aloft.
  Now that we had a solid foundation to work with, Josh added the synth "horn" part in the middle, as well as the vocals, including the third harmony part in the choruses. JJ added the fifth harmony part in the choruses soon after. He also added the synth hooks throughout and synth solo at the end. Not stopping there, he also added the electric piano intro, with Ken's drums, and Stephen, who added the electric guitar in that part, as well.
  Now that the whole thing was in the can, it was time for a mix. One of our resident production experts, Stephen, did the honors, as well as the mastering. 
  This is an example of everyone in the Eclectic Collective adding just the right puzzle piece to form the bigger picture. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it. 

Original lyrics by Josh Clary:

Got a little baggie
Got a tank of gas
Now what I need from you 
Is to light a fire under my ass

Let’s put down our phones
And turn up the tunes
By now you know there’s nothing 
That we can’t get up to

Wherever we go 
That’s where I want to be
Just as long as 
I know I have
You there with me
Because
I’m down for anything x2
And you know that’s true
You know that’s true

Whatever you wanna do
Whatever we get up to 
I’m down for anything
Anything

With you I love to eat
But I never want to sleep
Because I don’t want to miss out 
On spending any time with you

When I hear you laugh
Or get excited with a gasp
You make my heart feel like
I just ran a lap

Let's go on a run 
Or figure out some fun
Or jump in the car and drive to where 
The ocean meets the sun

Chorus repeats/Chorus reprise

When you hit me with those eyes
You know you hypnotize me
And just when I think you won’t 
You can still surprise me 

We’ve done it all before
Now let’s go do it all some more
Every day is a reward 
When I feel like I just scored

Down for Anything (Eclectic Collective)

paroles

J’comprends pourquoi tu cries
C’est affreux ces lumières

Et puis tout ce grand bruit
Y’a plus cool comme réveil

On a dû faire quelque chose de beau, tu sais
Pour que tu lâches le soleil

Faut pas croire tout ce  qu’on dit
Si c’est pas l’paradis

L’paradis on s’en fout
On a mieux on a nous

On fera tout ce qu’il faudra, tu sais
J’te jure tu ne regretteras pas 
 
Et t’auras de l’amour 
Tous les jours
A mesure qu’tu grandis
Lui aussi
lui aussi
il grandit

C’est sûr qu’on va se tromper
Et t’auras mal un jour

Ça ne sera pas fait exprès
Et ça s’ra pas toujours 

Et t’apprendras  aussi que les autres
C’est pas toujours d’leurs fautes
Tu feras c’que tu pourras 
Où la vie t’emmènera

On aura peur pour toi
Mais tiens pas compte de ça.
C’est normal c’est comme ça

Tu tomberas amoureux   
Tu t’y attendras pas
  
Un beau matin pluvieux
Tu l’auras dans tes bras
Et là tu comprendras

Qu’y a rien de plus beau qu’la vie, 
Et tu sauras pourquoi
Et là tu comprendras
Qu’y a rien de plus beau qu’la vie, tu vois   
Et tu sauras pourquoi

y'a rien de meilleur

Sur une musique de Christian Devienne, merci à lui. 

Ça fait déjà quelques années
Qu’ils préparaient son arrivée
Disant le tout et son contraire
Avec des mots très ordinaires
Prêts à tous les excès pour plaire

Charmant des esprits engourdis
par le malheur et par l’envie
De mensonges en raccourcis
La bête a fabriqué son nid

S’imaginant fille d’un dieu
Pas vraiment miséricordieux
Elle n’a plus à se confesser
Puisque le mal n’est plus péché
C’est tellement pratique pour rester

Lorsque sur des tombes encore fraîches
De morts qui sont encore pleurés
La bête prévoit d’édifier
Des Disneyland et des palais

N’importe où, qui que vous soyez
Même silencieux et caché
Louvoyant la tête baissée
Lorsque votre numéro est tiré
Ses sicaires sauront vous trouver
Pour vous pendre ou vous enrôler

Quand la raison meurt sous le fer
Le pire qu’on croyait révolu
Laboure des terres inconnues
Plus brûlantes et noires que l’enfer

Mais si la bête toujours renaît
Le meilleur aussi apparaît
Si d’autres monstres ont paradé
Ils ont tous fini par tomber
