Do you live in Phoenix and like my music?
Do you live in Phoenix and like my music?
If you are reading this, I am assuming that you are a fan. Great!
If you are not, that's ok too. You don't have to like what I do to appreciate it.
I don't often ask for help. I try to be self as sufficient as I can, so here goes.
I need you to sell (talk about) my music to which ever club, etc, you feel will respond in a favorable way to letting me gig there. Ask them if they would book me? If they did book me, would you and several friends come to see me? They all want you to have a following, it's a business, I understand that.
All that I am really asking for is an opportunity to lay on the public something new, exciting and fresh.
As you know, I do aggressive and soft compositions. My 1 hour (or less) show is on the medium to intense side for the time being. It has been described as:
"a jazz/rock fusion sort of thing in the vein of Alan Holdsworth, Jan Hammer, Jean-Luc Ponty etc... listen to tracks “She Speaks” or “Seedz”... other influences include Rundgren, Zappa and Jeff Beck,"
My EPK is at: www.sonicbids.com/terrydaun (every bit of info you should need is here)
I am someone who does not take lightly the opportunities presented before me and those responsible for providing those opportunities.
Thank you.

Taking Flight
(Released Feb. 2007)
Fifteen psychedelic, experimental, progressive, fusion, rock and ambient instrumentals.
From Aural Innovations #36 (May 2007) He says his music is psychedelic... It’s mostly a jazz/rock fusion sort of thing in the vein of Alan Holdsworth, Jan Hammer, Jean-Luc Ponty etc. Just listen to tracks like “My Watch”, “She Speaks” or “Seedz”. Terry’s other influences include Rundgren, Zappa and Jeff Beck, for example. I do enjoy his more ambient pieces, though, and some of them are a bit psychedelic. A good example is the peaceful and hypnotic “Logan Ran” that is actually very enjoyable as well as the mystical “Not Far”. There is also a bit heavier stuff in there with some electric guitar. The bit darker “April” reminds me of Space Mirrors and is quite okay. “Tax” features a heavy guitar riff, sequences and a great guitar solo by a guy named Jose Diaz. “Psycho” begins in a minimal mood and has some exciting synth stuff to create a bit psychedelic atmosphere.

Terry Daun “She Speaks” from the album "Taking Flight".
This track is an instrumental with a jazz feel. It is well layered... It has the feel of some of the older instrumental tracks I would imagine on bands such as Rush or Yes’ albums. It’s also pretty trippy, so give it a listen!
Kweevak.com review of Game On. 9/29/06 Terry Daun has been playing music in bands for decades and in more recent years he has been working as a solo artist. Game On features nineteen-tracks written and produced by Terry. Daun is a drummer but his main instrument of choice is a Korg Triton, which allows him to craft a broad range of sounds and styles. The CD is a blend of classic rock influences and experimental electronica with a dash of psychedelic and R&B thrown in for good measure. Terry’s songs feature a diverse range of textures and tempos. The opening track, ‘My Six Furry Friends’ is a creative carnival of images and tones. ‘Give A Little’ is an insightful rocker. Game On is an ambitious project demonstrating that Terry Daun continues to grow as an artist!* Recommended Tracks: (1,4) [USA/AZ 2006] (Review by Laura Turner Lynch for Kweevak.com)
Neu Futur (zine) Reviewed 08 November 2006
A positive thing that can be said about Daun at this point is that there is more than a small hint of Peter Gabriel in Daun’s vocal styling during “Clear Traffic Ahead”. One cannot claim that Daun is trying to rip them off; 19 tracks at 66 minutes give listeners an exhaustive description of eir musical style. “Give A Little” has Daun steal the practice tapes of Journey for the instrumentation of the track. The vocals fit interestingly during this track, but I think that the instrumentation is head and shoulders above any vocals that make their way onto this track.
Daun is able to create a cohesive album through and though with “Game On”. While the tracks may never make it to the Billboard charts, there is a sort of fun, almost Atom and His Package meets David Hasslehoff sound to the output of Daun. Saying that, this is not a polished album, and individuals may be turned off by the roughness around the disc’s edges. Daun was able to get a collection of tracks out here that all share a slew of commonalities without the tracks rolling together. There is some commonality with artists like Steve Lieberman (and more so) Mizar, but Daun’s bread and butter is electronic and R&B music, for sure.
I don’t know where Daun will go with future albums, but here’s to hoping that Daun can go forth and get a producer and engineer on staff that can provide different viewpoints about what would make the best approach. Top Tracks: Lady of the Night, Get Up Rating: 5.4/10 [JMcQ]

Taking Flight by Terry Daun
NOVEMBER 2006
"Taking Flight" (the album) is done musically. I have sent out a few test releases and I've been getting some excited responses. Of course, if it's not your thing, it's not your thing. This album is all instrumental. There is some heavy guitar work and some mellower, spacy tunes as well. Everything was done using a Korg Triton Le, except for the cool giutar solo on "Tax", which was done by my good friend Jose' Diaz in Victoria, Texas.
Jose' contributed his guitar work as a token of friendship and generousity. Thanks buddy!
The music is a blend of synth sounds and traditional instruments.
There will be 15 tunes in all on the CD and will be priced at $8.97 on CdBaby in Feb. 2007
Taking Flight (in no particular order)
1) Seedz 4:17 I called it Seedz due to the early "influences" of Rundgren, Zappa, Jon Luc Ponty, Alan Holdsworth,
and Pink floyd, to name a few.
2) Tax 3:19 This is just one of my "heavies" included on the CD. Jose' Diaz does a great job on his guitar solo. This is a moderate, serious groove, heavy guitars and synth ROCKER!
3) Psycho 4:06 It's a pretty psycho tune for sure. I like the drum solos I did towards the end the most.
4) Wind Blown 3:52 This tune is cool! I really like this one. It has a nice groove and a cool ethnic flute lead running through the tune. Big brass sound and lots of solos.
5) She Speaks 2:58 Well, what can I say? After seeing Jeff Beck in Tempe in March '06, I went home and came up with sort of a tribute to Jeff and Jan Hammer. Guitar and synth leads.
6) Logan Ran 3:58 Inspired by of course one the greatest SciFi movies ever "Logan's Run". Lots of sounds!
7) April 3:44 I wrote this in April. Great tune to put on while driving up to Payson from Phoenix. (Actually, all of these are great for driving.)
8) Why Not 5:52 A little long for me? Yes, but it goes by painlessly. Sort of a serious, cool mood evoked. Not what I would call a "happy" tune.
9) Some Times 2:38 A cool little diddy I thought that I would stick in as filler.
10) My Watch 3:05 Oh yea! I want to do some more like this. Serious percussion happening here folks. Cool sax lead. Brass accompaniment.
Very little synth.
11) Taking Flight 3:28 A favorite of mine for awhile Written in 2005. A soaring tune with major synth activity. I named the CD "Taking Flight" because it depicts me finding my voice, which I believe is instrumentals.
12) Freight 3:41 Heavy guitars again. Lots of solos. Picture a train pulling out of the station. It picks up steam and eventually is at top speed heading through magestic mountainous valleys where it begins to arrive at it's next stop.
13) Not Far 3:32 Heavy synth production here. Very pretty tune, in my opinion. Thoughtful and possibly inspiring tune. I just love it.
14) Guitars 2:13 I liked the patch on the Korg and gave it try. I came up with this litte jam with acoustic guitars and synth accompaniment.
15) For Micheal 2:58 A fast two step beat jam with guitars and such. My long time friend Micheal provides the guitar feedback (originally recorded on 2 track in 1977) at the end.
Thank You. I hope that you go out and purchase Taking Flight for your ne |
