Introducing Symphuddie and the Symphudd Instruments Ensemble.
Click Trax Media Limited is the record label, producer, publisher, and manager for the electronic orchestra – Symphudd Instruments Ensemble (SIE), and the CTM lead vocal and personality Symphuddie.
Symphuddie is the featured artist for all vocals including the new single – The Rhythm of Life.
SIE provides accompaniment for vocals on the album “Back From The Brink”. SIE not only accompanies the vocal tracks but also performs instrumental versions for each track.
This new album from Symphuddie is all about living through the challenges of life and experiencing new beginnings. What do you do when you are at the brink? Chill and feel “The Rhythm Of Life”.
Yup… it is difficult, but it is something we should all learn to do.
The Rhythm of Life is track number 1 of the album.
The photos used in this blog are intended to be very telling reflections of the emotions Symphuddie is experiencing. The time on the clock in the second photo is 3:37 am. (what the dickence is he doing on the clock tower at that ungodly time of night?) At this time, he is very distressed and is literally sitting on then edge of the clock tower’s ledge. However, approximately one hour later at 4:28 am he seems to have resolved his internal conflicts and is in a safer posture with a more hopeful expression on his face. The album cover uses the first photo after he has resolved his conflicts. Isn’t that typical of how events are portrayed in life? Not many of us can deal with the conflict, the distress, and the emotions involved. It is sad that not all of us move back away from the brink.
The Back From The Brink album is the published catalogue of songs written, recorded, produced, mixed and pre-mastered by Wayne A Manderson.
This album of songs was mastered by award winning mastering engineer Gene Grimaldi of Oasis Mastering, Burbank, California.
Reggae, Modern Dance Pop, Smooth Cool Jazz, and Soulful Pop are the four main genres of music on the Back From the Brink Album.
The Reggae Tracks on The Back From The Brink album are The Rhythm of Life by Symphuddie and the instrumental version by the Symphudd Instruments Ensemble. The deejay in the vocal rendition encourages us to remember that when life is a mess and full of distress we are being tested. The instrumental version includes harmonica, saxophone, and a Latin-acoustic guitar lead. Both songs feature congas, and bongos and are inspirational, pulsing rhythmic, reggae music.
There are four Modern Dance pop songs on the Back From The Brink album. In standard Click Traxz Media fashion these are the vocal rendition by Symphuddie and instrumental rendition of the musical pieces by the Symphudd Instruments Ensemble.
The songs are This Fuse You Lit on tracks 02 and 10 and Step Out and Fall In This Love on tracks 03, and 07.
This Fuse You Lit is about being totally distracted by a crush and features the saxophone as the distracting element in the up-tempo Modern Dance Pop song. The Instrumental version features a Steel Pan drums for the melody.
Step Out and Fall in This Love is a Modern Dance Pop Song. This up-tempo ballad encourages the love who has been flirting and pursuing you to take the step…that leap of faith in love and just step out and fall in love because the love is worth it. Fiddles, pizzicato strings, organ, horn section, acoustic guitars are featured in this Up-tempo Modern Dance Pop Song and dance music
The vocal and instrumental renditions of Once Bitten Twice Shy are the Smooth Cool Jazz songs on the Back From The Brink Album. This Smooth Cool Jazz song is a ballad and is also soothing elevator music.
it is a song about hesitating to get involved because of an old hurt. The memory is very strong and trust doesn’t come easy… this time you have to show me love in you.
Once Bitten Twice Shy is also suited for a stimulating romantic dance. It is a Smooth Cool Jazz song that features male vocal harmonies pianos, brass, Hammond organ, and pizzicato strings.
Now That We Are Here is the Soulful Pop song on the Back From The Brink album. It is a song of reconciliation and about renewed love. It encourages us to put the past behind to embrace the future. This the Soulful Pop song is also about forgetting the hurts of the past and looking through the eyes of love. Featuring Hammond organ, horn sections, and strings orchestration.
Now That We Are Here is the first song Wayne Manderson wrote and recorded. It was also the last song produced, mixed, and published. This was because Wayne “threw everything including the kitchen sink” in this song. After the first mastering session however, he had to make changes “adjusted for reality”. The first iteration included more cinematic orchestration and had a totally different emotional feel. This released song is modern and has a more soulful feel than the original.
