Balancing Point

I'm very happy to be releasing a new track with my friend Jerome Hearn from Germany. We've had a few things in the works for a long time but it has been a while since we've posted something.

Dear Reader, 

In Shakespeare's play "Hamlet," Ophelia drowns herself in what is a terrible and tragic scene late in the play. 

The idea for this song came when I recognized that the grief of loss, missed opportunities, and mistakes compound as we age, and they don't leave us. Instead, these emotions seem to haunt us—often surprising us when we least expect it. And so, these feelings are akin to the tragic drowning of Ophelia, except that they seem to happen again and again—hence the title of the song. 

Georg Boehme, a brilliant arranger, composer, and horns player from Cologne, Germany, joined me on this piece. I sent Georg the basic tracks and gave him no instructions. He knows what to do, and he always exceeds my expectations. His playing on this piece is amazing. As you get to know Georg's music, you will begin to see that he has a unique style, and it shines through in all that he plays. Thank you, Georg, for lending me your immense creative talents. 

Last week, I sent what I believed was the finished version of this song to Noel Barrett, an outstanding bass player from Cork City, Ireland. I knew he would dig the work that Georg did on the track. And he did. Without any prompting, he replaced the bass part that I laid down—and improved the tune tenfold in the process. Noel has rock-solid time and brings a melodic sensibility to everything he plays on the bass. It is a great pleasure and honor to have him guesting on this song. 

Finally, I thank you, my devoted listeners, for your comments and for your repeated returns to my channel. 

I have much more music to write. This is only the beginning of the journey. 

Highest Regards, 

Roger Whittlesey

Ophelia Drowns Again

Cast of characters:
Surfers Like Us– @user-411502040 –Artur–composition, arrangement, and foundational rhythm guitar
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–guitar, sitar, mix, mastering, and production
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – organ, electric piano, and synth
K2 and the Three [and the Four]-- @k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums and percussion
Llanpsych– @llanpsych –Tez–Guitar 
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –four string fretless bass 

This song is the brainchild of Artur, who composed it on his guitar perfectly for collaboration, and presented it to us with his vision for the entire sound. Ken went first, of course, adding his signature rocking beat to the song. Josh went next, as soon as Ken had laid down the drums, adding his four string fretless bass sound to fill out the rhythm section. 
  Tez came along soon after, adding some foundational ornamentation with his guitar. JJ jumped in right after Tez, and laid in the majestic organ, riffing electric piano, and subtle synth you hear throughout. Finally, Stephen laid his guitar in there, too, which can be heard as a fiery melodic line running throughout. At Artur's suggestion, he also added some amazing, trippy sitar in a couple of spots, too.
  Once all the tracks were laid down, Stephen came through with his always skillful mix. This makes almost an album worth of material that The Eclectic Collective has created from Artur's ideas. We're always excited when he drops a new one in our laps. He wrote this on a sweet rainy day in the Polish summer. 
  We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it. 
 
  We all appreciate your support, and encourage you to share this song if you've read the whole way down to the bottom here.

'Stratosphere' is an explosive big band jazz fusion instrumental designed for the highest level of virtuosic performance. Featuring a screaming lead trumpet that pushes into the double-high register and a relentless 1970s-style rhythm section, the track is a masterclass in brass-laden power. Anchored by a driving Bb major swing and tight, aggressive sectional harmonies, the composition moves from gritty tenor sax solos to a thundering drum break, culminating in a stratospheric double high C climax. It is a high-energy anthem for the concert halls, the jazz festivals, and anyone who lives for the 'scream' of the lead horn.
