Hahaha yeah! All three of you sound crazy man! You made drummer start howling to your song too man, how did you guys pull that off? And that is some crazy keyboard going on. WOW MAN!! We're listening to this once with the lights off to see what happens. This is crazy! Hahaha yeah!
I, personally, have only heard maybe three people who can diversify music like you can. Not going to name names, but this is up there with the best of them!! Studio quality. Love it Terry!! Merry Christmas Bud!! Baz
Ah yes my friend , spiritual vibes , your arrangement is quality on this one all fits like a glove, great feels, good mix, rated of course.
So cool , Love it, Merry Christmas
Well done! This song sounds amazing and also sounds like it was a lot of fun to make!
Thanks for your comment on "Orchid" Terry. Intriguing idea and concept on this 3 way collab. Very creative - full of interesting musical sounds and vocals. Has a complexity but still very accessible and more importantly pleasing to the ear. You must have worked hard on this one. Quality of the piece shines through my friend. Merry Christmas. James
Man Terry this one is so sweet! One of the coolest songs i've heard in a long time. Where you come up with these ideas? Are you a world traveler? You have a lot of different cultures weaved into your music. I dig that big time. Great job from everyone involved. best, Eric
LOVE this. At first it sounds like you've gone down under and then it goes a bit medieval on you. The harmonies and layers of voices are a treat. First rate production and my favourite of yours since Getting Married! Love Wednesday x
By the title alone, I knew I was going to be in for a treat, and right away, you guys delivered. The music and voices are excellent! AWESOME, AWESOME TUNE! Also appreciate the background story by each of you - in case you forgot, AWESOME, AWESOME STUFF!!!
Such an great idea, a tremendous sound. The TRI in the title has not gone unnoticed........David
Nice and different - a real soundscape, Thumbz!
An ASTOUNDING concept idea you had here Terry...I know how much blood and guts you put into it...and this creation is a very special one. Well done with some fantastic engineering!!! As far as Im concerned..It is our "Bohemian Rhapsody"..breaking the bounderies!! Had some great fun with you and Kevin doing this...so... When do we bring out the video?...got some blue face paint around here, somewhere! Cheers. keith
Wild tune dude!! Very cool percussion sound. I like how you mixed the genres of electronica with blues, world music, traditional instruments. Very creative stuff. Thumbs
Not easy to do this long distance 3 way collab but you pulled it off and you guys are sounding cool..
your harmica instrument remember me a song of "The Orb" this is exatcly the same sound...original song...beautfiul production it sound big...
Very tribal indeed. What a great, and far out idea for a track. There's a lot going on and it all seems to work. Love the group feel this has to it. Very unusual, and very cool. Great job and always keep the faith!
Heyeyey :-) Real nice work guys.
Solid performances on all fronts. Exceptional imagination values that spell out such immensities in taking all your experimental selves to the other place we call creativity.
I had so much fun recording Tribal Voices with you and Keith and love the way you have put it all together, great production. Well done Terry. Gibbo
you know....this works! Excellent collab, gents, very entertaining! Thumbs up!
Cool idea guys and well executed :) Slightly bonkers but wouldn't expect any less :) Peace, Ricky
HI Terry, How COOL is this! Surely the greatest collaboration I've heard yet here on Mp3 unsigned, love everything here, the chanted vocals the synths are incredible, the beat is perfect, and the lyrics are totally great. A great way to usher in the festive season, with good vibes here in abundance! A hundred star effort. I love this! Cheers, Andrew

Exploring various styles and topics. Variety is the spice of life.
Joined this community of artists in July of 2011, and quickly observed the community-spirit of artists who take the time to listen to other artists' work and comment meaningfully and positively. The vibe is one of encouragement and helping out.
This was quickly expressed more tangibly in the number of collaborations that were being uploaded and that caught my attention. People were willing to offer skills and abilities, knowledge and understanding, and check their egos at the door and be willing to engage the difficult task of trying to work together for a common good - a better track. THIS has been an education for me and the learning that occurs as a result of working together is extraordinary.
Special mentions to those who have included me in their work, and they in mine: James Bell - not only got the ball rolling but is a kindred spirit; Dachleigh Music (Adam) - who used my cello lines in a some electronic music; Deggsy Music and DawnSinclair - the two are not always inseparable but they work so well together (that RnB will be a highlight!); Deon - we didn't do a lot together, but the journey was expansive; Rich Lodato, whose voice and guitar invites the cello to weave a melody too; AmorfoxiZ (Alfonso,) more cello; Left Ear Bleed (Jeff)...always good to help younger artists; Liquid (Anthony Gee) the budding rock keyboardist ;) and Michael Ritchie - consummate riff-meister and gentle spirit...thanks to one and all for including me in their journeys! FUN!...gotta be more fun than work or it isn't fun any more ;) Special mention to TomC in PC FL, for sharing his journey and struggles. Hang in there Tom!
Also a note of GRATITUDE...that is the theme for my class of students. A number of artists from mp3u have contributed messages addressed to my class, and some have written wonderful tracks to help us find a calm and gentle start to our days of turbulence. Dan Michaelson, Peter Vines...great ambient tracks and such wonderful messages - you two were the first off the mark and set the bar very high for how to approach a class that you didn't really know; Will Riding...the Sleeping Giants was an awesome introduction to story-telling through music; Erik Jurado...straight from you heart to right where my kids are...amazing intuition; Kelly Mitchell...your artist comment narrative was inspirational on over-coming obstacles; Mike Ritchie - one boy has become filled with hope because of a specific word of encouragement...how incredibly awesome! ; Deon -many positive messages and ideas about life and existence, as well as ways to find calm in the midst of Life - looking forward tomore of your special way of looking at life; Rich - sent along some A/V material...journey into visual art...chalked full of encouraging words... some fine vocal/visual/philosphical chicken soup for the teen-aged soul, I think; Liquid (Anthony Gee), who has created some fine music for the class and sent a wonderful interview for the class to listen to. We are also enjoying some wonderful orchestral arrangements from AndyF (Andrew Foyston), and a superbly written note to the students.
In 2013 we heard from KtA (Marty Etheridge) - the students love the DnB stuff; ATuesdayParadox (Kevin Gibbons) - a very encouraging message and pics pf Wales; Lazy Jane (Will Walton) sent along well-wishes from Georgia, DNA Codex (Andrew Shields)- not only introduced us to Surrealism, he showed us how to paint in a surealistic style with some extraordinary youtube clips with his wonderful ambient/electronica in the background; Essence - little did I know that in trying to find female artists to represent more gender equity, you would step in and tell a heart-changing story that resonated in all of us, and in one young woman in particular - you cast the seeds and often never know what good will result, so we trust and carry on; Keith Allen and Wednesday Wilson are also going to contribute their own stories and words of encouragement. In all of these personal touches and positive interactions there will be Wellness!
If there are any artists who wish to learn about the Wellness Project for this school year (Sept 2012-June 2013), or who wish to contribute, please feel free to contact any of the artists who have participated already, or contact me directly by clicking on the "e-mail" button at the top of the page here, or send along a PM (I do check fairly regularly)

*Equipment:
Norman Acoustic, Epiphone SG Double Neck Electric, Ibanez Roadstar II, Cello, Ensoniq EPS, Korg M1Rex, PC, M- audio 410, Cakewalk X1 Studio, Sony MDMX-4, Aiwa powered speakers, Radio Shack consumer headphones, AKG C1000S mic and Rode NT1A - bottom-line…it may be old(er) gear for the most part, but like myself, all the parts work (at the moment) ;)
**My creative space -a.k.a. "hobbit hole studio" - is a cinder block fruit cellar, 6x9, with a 6in poured concrete slab ceiling…nice reflective surfaces for some interesting vocals if they are not tamed..the furnace is old and loud and is adjacent, and the main waste pipe from the second floor passes through the “studio” so I have to record before the household awakes or after they are asleep because a single toilet flush can “wh- o-o-o-s-s-h-h-“ through a track like a roar of a jet engine, giving new meaning to the phrase I have come to accept as part of my Buddhist experience - “Flushed Away!”
