Well put Bro

I remember the first time I heard O Fortuna, which was during the Conan the Barbarian movie. I was like what is this song? Then I got ahold of a DVD Audio copy of a recording done in the eighties which was recorded Quadrophonically and just sounded like you were in the theatre...mind blowing.
"I'd love to see what Carl Orff would be doing today with all this technological crap we have now"

That is always an interesting question, because maybe he makes amazing music, maybe he becomes just another schlep like us on a looper site. Maybe the lack of our technology was the catalyst for his great composition. We will never know, but is an excellent idea to debate. Maybe he sounds like Michele Cretu's Enigma (Gravity of Love) which samples it quite profusely.

Well we all know Bilderburg set the volume levels for pop music, and so that's what it will be ...or else..;-)

Thank you for the very kind words and for stopping by to listen, much appreciated.

Thanks V. I understand how you feel about the choir at then end, it is one of my favourite parts of this tune. I also remember the songs I loved when I was young had these awesome coda's or parts that made me listen to the whole song until I got too the good part. The chorus is just that. if I added it (IMHO) to more of the song it would have diminished the surprise and the point of the song (religious wars of the past). Like you I love a good choir. Carmina Burana (O Fortuna) is a favourite of mine.

Thanks so much for listening and commenting I look forward to your contributions.

Thanks RI, I know what you mean about the loudness (compression) In this particular track it is not intended for the radio but the club floor. Also the contrast between the dance section and quiet section is also to set a tone for the listener. It was my chance to tell a story with music and all the melodies , beats pianos and even the dynamics contribute to that story..so you can get the message. i was inspired by this song which overwhelmed the clubs in the eighties by literally stopping people from dancing and making them listen. It is genius.

Ahh SN

"This is an odd track. Rally not sure how that piano would go down on a dancefloor."

My goal is too stop the dancefloor in there tracks and really listen to the sounds. and understand that this melody has a story to tell. As we live our daily lives there are forces in the world gearing up for war. Just like before WW1 and similar to WW2. I composed this a year ago fully understanding that a conflict is inevitable in our generation unfortunately. Putin + Ukraine, China--Philippines Viet-Nam, and Israel Iran are the main course with a side dish of North and south Korea are the Japanese dessert course which will also have a bit of China.
The ending (50 secs) is a reminder of the conflicts of the past.
Just a musical pastiche!. I don't become political very often but I wanted to express those sentiments in Music.
How did I do?

Ahh a Nice Bob Seger reference! Thanks for joining in and commenting my friend. keep yourself safe and it has been quite the time ehh?
Merci mon ami!

It forces you to turn the volume up so I can hit you with the back-end blitz of sound. Thank you for listening and commenting!

Ahh
Grazie mille. Le tue parole significano il mondo per me
Steve

Thank you FR, coming from you that is quite the compliment as I respect your work greatly (esp the nineties vibe stuff) I always want to give the listener a new twist and I have been bored for a long time with the Verse chorus verse chorus bridge chorus stuff. That’s for punters and Teenies! So I always look for new twists and turns and contrasts. I hope I delivered with this one..ehh?

Thank you Chris..We keep on dancing (living our normal lives) as the world is starting to prepare from some really really bad stuff soon I fear.

Thank you for the kind words!

Thank you for those nice words, the order of songs is as much of a mystery to me as it is to you.. dumb luck I guess!

Yeah I can see the circus vibe as well. mp3.com was the best back in the day. Thanks for stopping by!

Thank you

thanks for that, the intro...hmmnn that’s fascinating as it's so minimal but I’m glad u liked it!

Thanks man!

Thank you!

Thanks mate for listening and commenting. It was one of my early attempts at using the loops from this site.
I like being able to blend different genres. I feel music is flexible that way.
Cheers
Steve

Thank you for that my friend. This was more an experiment in melding genres, but I appreciate the props all the same.

I owned a pair of romper-stompers as a kid they were fun, and ridiculously dangerous! That's why they were fun. Thanks for stopping by!

Aye lad, much appreciated for the props!

Thank you!
