Vortex - Terence Etc. - Vinyl LP Record (Arrives in 50 days)

Debut album by Terence Etc. (real name Terence Nance). Terence is a multidisciplinary artist from Dallas, TX who is best known for his work in film. Terence wrote, directed, scored, and starred in his first feature film “An Oversimplification of Her Beauty” which premiered at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival and was released theatrically in 2013. He is currently working on the second season of his Peabody Award-winning HBO series, “Random Acts of Flyness”, and also partners with filmmakers Jenn Nkiru, Bradford Young, Nanette Nelms, and Mishka Brown to form The Ummah Chroma Creative Partners—a directors collective and production company. He is truly multidisciplinary. He draws. He writes. He sings. He plays the guitar. He builds things. He harbors in himself a great many possibilities, a great many realities that whirl about seeking expression and balance. It is this desire for balance— balance of life, balance of emotions, balance of energies within— that brought forth “V O R T E X”, his debut album. “V O R T E X is a sonic tool that I made so that I can play it for myself and balance my energy between masculine and feminine; destructive and creative; domination and submission; right and left; sun and moon; day and night: opposing energies generally,” explains Terence. “The album intends to use sound, melody, song, incantation, etc. to rebalance a bodyspirit through out the constant circular movement of life.” The album was written and produced by Terence, along with long time friends and collaborators: Solomon Dorsey, Nick Hakim and his brother Nelson Bandela. Most of the songs on the 11 track album are arranged as diptychs that swell and fold in on themselves in a dizzying oscillation. Terence is flirtatious in his lamenting, with a style that swells from suggestively oracular, to vaudeville, to your local battle of the bands.
