"Ionic Baroque" [mp3 removed]
In this song I've grafted together layered nasal synthesizer melodies with orchestral instruments such as strings, marimba and tympani. I had the idea to do, as I described to someone in an email, "baroque chamber music using dismantled electronic dance elements." This is a stab at that. The piece is tightly organized at the beginning, breaks down about 2/3 of the way through, and never completely recovers--that is deliberate.
Just realized I started posting music on my "mostly music" blog two years ago this month (and cross-posted most of it here). Unbelievable--time flies, etc.
Update: am working on a longer, "dance" version of this tune. Instead of the "breakdown" described above, a house thump fades up and rescues the momentum of the song, carrying it well beyond the current end. With the four-on-the-floor rhythm underneath, the strings have a "hooked on classics" feel.
And here it is:
