About Ecstasy

Ecstasy is a track from the collaborative album Bangalore Dreams, released on June 15, 2015, under the label United Sound Records. The composition features violinist Jyotsna Srikanth, saxophonist Bangalore N. Amrit, and guitarist Shadrach Solomon as primary artists. The album adopts a fusion format that blends elements of Indian classical music with contemporary jazz and world music influences.

The track Ecstasy appears as the third entry on the album. It spans a duration of 6 minutes and 54 seconds. The piece exemplifies the album’s cross-genre approach, with Srikanth’s Carnatic violin techniques interwoven with Amrit’s saxophone improvisations and Solomon’s electric guitar phrasing. The recording was distributed exclusively in digital media formats.

Bangalore Dreams marks a collaborative effort among the three artists, each contributing distinct instrumental and stylistic elements. Srikanth provided violin compositions rooted in South Indian classical traditions. Amrit incorporated jazz and Western harmonic structures through saxophone performances. Solomon added electric guitar textures that bridged improvisational jazz with Indian raga scales. The album’s production emphasized live recording sessions to capture spontaneous interactions between the musicians.

The release date of June 15, 2015, positioned Bangalore Dreams within a period of growing interest in Indo-jazz fusion projects. United Sound Records, the issuing label, specialized in cross-cultural music productions during this era. No additional details about the track’s specific compositional process, lyrical content, or reception metrics are publicly documented. The album remains available through digital platforms as of the latest accessible records.
