However the range of emotion and energy created within that short time span blows a lot of other music away.
Running to approximately five minutes in length, it is a little short when compared to most tracks you come across in the psychedelic chillout realm. The result is an exceptional EP from Altar Records. From there, several other artists, after hearing the track, expressed a keen interest in remixing it, providing their own interpretations on an instant classic. As time passed, with Terra Nine providing classical elements in the form of cello and viola and Squazoid laying down the bass line, they both realized that they had conjured up something rather special indeed.īy the end of the evening, their collective consciousness had given birth to an exceptional song so full of depth and emotion that it reduced both artists to tears. Terra Nine (Mike Westcot/NZ) and Squazoid (Jeremy Bringue/FR) hooked up at a party in Squazoid's Paris studio where they began playing music without any thought of where the journey would lead. Two psychedelic wizards joined forces back in 2013 for an all night jam session that exceeded both artists’ expectations. REVIEW from Gareth Hovey of psy-amb.blogspot: "In this new EP, 'Karuna', Terra Nine, Squazoid and the various remix artists deliver a effulgent score of rich textural underlays and rising dramatic tension celebrating love and the sublime perfection of the human condition".
REVIEW by Brett Sense Elliot (Director of Living Essence and one of the organizers for Subsonic Festival, Australia): It has taken a while for everyone who participated to come up with their version, but it has definitely been worth the wait… Jeremy then stayed up all night, searching for an appropriate name that would fit the energy of the track - and by morning, he had found one - ‘Karuna’ - Sanskrit for ‘Compassion’.Īfter this time, we played the track to a number of other artists, who expressed a desire to remix it - and thus, the ‘Karuna’ remix project was born. Mike picked up his viola and began to play a couple of notes - which grew into a few more, then Jeremy added a bass line and the story of this song grew from there.Ĭello sounds were added, together with more strings and rhythms, until within an hour, the basic structure was born.īy the end of the evening, we had an amazing piece from start to finish, with a beauty and depth of emotion that we reduced us to tears. It happened one night in early August 2013, when Mike Westcot (Terra Nine) and Jeremy Bringué (Squazoid) were jamming at a party in Jeremy’s studio in Paris. Writing it was a totally spontaneous act that occurred without any pre-thought or effort - like taking dictation direct from Source. This is one of those very rare and special tracks that comes along once in a blue moon for every composer.
