Jennifer Terran

LATEST RECORDING on CD



Hello dear people. fellow musicians, friends and such:

I'm Jennifer. I play piano, and toys. drums, chimes, sticks. and of course my voice which is a kind of imprint of my soul. I write, arrange, travel deep into things. Describing my way with music, I would say that I reflect the familiar (my sort of pop side) and then for some reason, perhaps due to some bolt that's loose in me, I will tend to take the music into unexpected turns. I'm not one for cliches too much, musically or lyrically though some do it well. I guess I feel artists should feel free to take the opportunity to go beyond being a reflection of something they've come across and get down to what is more specific to them.



I like to get my hands and soul into everything, knobs, dials, arrangement, faders. i.e. "control freak". or perhaps I'm just someone who has a specific vision. If I can become more of a master of recording itself, then I get closer to giving you my music the way I intend it to be. The last record I released, Full Moon in 3 is a very special album which was the soundtrack that ran through my blood through a series of intense and amazing life changes. We've put up a couple of the limbs of it here. I was a little at a loss as to what songs to post because they are very different from one another and each is it's own special universe. It's always a bit strange tearing the songs apart from the whole, which is the album. So perhas you will take this as an invitation to check out the CD so as to experience it in it's fullness. In the mean time I had my second baby who was born at home (yes for home births!) and currently recording my next album as well as a series of piano compositions which could end up being another kind of album in addition to the one that has been brewing in me the last few years. Just taking the ride of the process at the moment. Will keep you posted on the progress, process.



So thank you for listening and connecting with me. I'm looking forward to getting to know the combination of us. Much love,Jennifer
