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 - GAME ON: 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!
