Tell me the Truth (w/ The Eclectic Collective) by Surfers like Us published on 2024-03-29T19:29:57Z Cast of characters: Surfers Like Us– @user-411502040 –Artur–composition and foundational rhythm guitar TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–guitar solos choruses, mix, and production J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell –electric piano, synth, and intro composition K2 and the Three [and the Four]-- @k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums Llanpsych– @llanpsych –Tez–Guitar solo in the verses Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –four string fretless bass guitar This song began with Artur composing the entire skeleton, and recording it against a mechanical beat. He presented it to Josh, who immediately shared it with The Eclectic Collective. Ken first replaced the metronomic beat with a real, rocking drum sound. Josh promptly added his fretless bass to it, to complete the rhythm section. Soon after, JJ added his electric piano magic, including a short solo, to the stew. Once the rhythmic framework was laid down, Stephen got to work on the choruses, coming up with solid, melodic lines for them. Then, it was Tez's turn to light up the verses with his monster guitar. When we had it mostly completed, Artur asked JJ if he'd do an intro to it. JJ came up with the whole psychedelic intro in response. When it was finished, we asked Stephen if he would mix it for us, which he did with his typical mastery and attention to detail. We all really enjoy making music with Artur, and have been fans of and collaborators with him for almost a year now. If you like the sound of this song, you would do well to go check out his page, too, as he has a bunch of gems on there. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it. ——————————————————— This composition is dedicated to J.J., Josh, Ken, Stephen and Tez 😎 Thank you guys for your friendship, outstanding playing and creativity! 🌞🎸 Artur Comment by DestKorn Great Sound! 2024-05-16T19:56:23Z Comment by Rosette Cribben So loving this🎸🎸🎸🎶🎶 2024-05-04T11:12:52Z Comment by SOUND23 what an intro... silence before the storm played great... guitar sound.....🌍☮︎👍 2024-04-18T22:15:49Z Comment by HEART HOUSE AND THE NEW KINDNESS Wow, what a power house.
