Composition – The Eclectic Collective

This song started in probably the most effective way our group writes them. Ken had a spectacular drum beat that was unused in a previous project, so JJ composed and recorded with his magical keys a chord structure and arrangement. Once we had a beat and a chord structure, Josh came along and added his foundational bass. 

  Now that the rhythm section was complete and the chord structure was in place, Stephen added his unique melody line that you hear at the beginning and every other verse on his magic banjo. He also plays all the initial guitar until about the 1:40 mark, when Tez takes over. In addition, Stephen also laid down some really trippy sitar in the break section. Then it was time for Tez to add some spice to the mix with his fiery guitar solos, which you hear from about 1:40 on, eventually building up to a crescendo towards the end. 

  Once we had all the music down, we realized that we had a big gap in the bridge without much going on in it. So, Mark came through and recorded a cool poem he had written on his refigerator with word magnets more than a decade ago, captured with a picture, and added to for the this song. The poem is loosely based on the idea that our dreams exist in a digital environment/universe. The girl's voice you hear echoing him is his daughter, for whom he originally composed it, in her first appearance with the EC. 

  The song was now finished, except for Mark using his masterful production skills to trim and move a few things. After he made those adjustments on, he threw a mix on it. While we usually defer to Tez or Stephen for the mix, Mark did such a great job, we decided to keep his mix. Stephen did, however master and EQ it to make it a finished product. 

  This is a song written truly as a whole band effort, showcasing what the Eclectic Collective can do. I hope you enjoy listening to is as much as we enjoyed creating it.  


Original lyrics by Mistermark:  


The moon flickers on

and rises and dances

across a celestial stage

as dreamers paint the pixels of their mind 

like an infinite canvas 


Sleep away tiny egg

and leave a delicate thread 

of memory behind 

but never log out 

you are in the elaborate web

always

"Alchemical [Crisis]" is a gripping progressive rock odyssey that delves into the chilling reality of nuclear brinkmanship. Featuring powerful excerpts from John F. Kennedy's historic speeches during the Cuban Missile Crisis, the song captures the tension and urgency of those perilous days. With its haunting melodies and relentless rhythms, the track immerses listeners in the gravity of nuclear threat. Through intense guitar solos and thunderous drums, "Alchemical [Crisis]" explores the profound implications of humanity’s destructive capabilities, compelling us to reflect on the high stakes of our most formidable inventions.
