Tyrell Black from Electric Octopus Releases Digital Single “Satori”

Posted in Whathaveyou on October 3rd, 2019 by JJ Koczan

I’ve written about Electric Octopus a couple times in this space. Hell, I saw them in Dublin in 2017, and indeed, they were awesome, but I probably haven’t spent as much time writing about them as I’ve actually spent listening to them — and no, that’s not just a comment on the fact that a given Electric Octopus release could be upwards of three hours of all-improvised jamming. It’s just that I tend to go back to those records, even if in pieces because, you know, there are only so many afternoons one can dedicate to a single one. I’ve played them a couple times on Gimme Radio as well, because I think they’re probably better heard than described — at least by me — as “jamming” doesn’t really begin to cover the positive spirit or personality their output actually conveys.

Perhaps that’s my failing to deal with. Fine. The more important point is that the band’s own Tyrell Black has released what I believe is his first solo offering in the form of the half-hour single “Satori.” It’s available name-your-price through the Electric Octopus Bandcamp page, and the exploratory feel it carries through its blend of drone and psychedelia, meandering guitar, sitar, percussion, etc., goes so much further than one might expect a solo — as in one-person-only — track to go in terms of feeling like a genuine outward reach. Again, I feel like maybe I’m not doing it justice to its more meditative feel, but fortunately, the audio is at the bottom of this post to pick up the slack. Dig into that and see what you think.

The info below also comes from the Bandcamp:

Over the last while i’ve spent most of my time being in this location, observing the continuous presence and how it’s constantly changing. Rather than trying to capture with words, i’ve decided to record this improvised piece of music which tells a much better story of my experiences.

It will take 30 minute of your time to listen and like presence itself, it grows and changes.

Of course it is completely free to download or you can choose to pay however much or little you’d like, music is made to be heard by everyone, not just those with money.

Presence is infinite….
Be present….

Released September 30, 2019.
