And.. Hello all. Once again I have some things to share.. album cover, the next two songs and a bit about where I’m at in the process and when and where can you get this new album by Likuid Eklektik. I will share a bit of it all here.
THE PHOTO: First, the photo… I’ll take full credit for it. This is somewhere in southwestern Idaho and I took it on our way from Texas coming home to Washington. It was our last leg before we pulled into Spokane Valley. In a big way this represents new chapters for us. If one did not know better, that picture could be somewhere in central Texas. Similar terrain, colors and not a mountain in sight. Shortly after that the transition of the terrain and the colors were augmented with trees and mountains. How surreal.
SONG LIST: Once again.. the list:
>1. move me
>2. what have we done now
>3. Tomy
>4. my kind of day
>5. from this point forward
>6. you and me
>7. groove instinct
>8. the beauty
>9. sahara frolic
>10. tree tops
WHO WHO ARE THESE SONGS ANYWAY: We’re picking up with 7 and 8. >7. groove instinct… It is what it states. Groove.. dig a ditch kind of groove. The instrumentation signifies that Grooving is definitely an international affair. The rhythm section.. bass guitar, marimba… a melodic percussion instrument with wooden bars struck with yarn covered mallets, an oud.. a pear shaped stringed instrument of the Middle East, and synthisizers and drums to round things out. What else can I say about this one other than.. you have to hear it for yourself. >8. the beauty… This one is inspired by Chic Coreas’ Spain.. Spain is one of my favorite songs. The flavors are magic and the piece just beckons for you to join in. I feel that I extend the invitation in like kind in a bob and weave rhythmic way. I feel good with this one.
ALBUM UPDATE: At this point I’m making some final adjustments on the last song… >10. Tree Tops. I was having some issues in the higher frequencies with the cymbals. That’s been worked on some but, still a little more to do. After that I run another master on them and check it out in the Genesis and see. When I do finish with everything, you can find this, the second album and the first one on my BandCamp page: https://likuideklektik.bandcamp.com/track/what-have-we-done-now-2
UNTIL NEXT TIME: Well.. I’m going to leave it here. As I’ve mentioned before, leave comments, ideas, check out the music, tell all your family and friends and stop by again and visit as often as you like. Take good care
