Overture to a musical that was never written.

Overture

I have come to realise that I have completely neglected a significant side of the whole music thing by avoiding doing any kind of audio mixing is the past. So it makes sense to just start recording loads of stuff and mixing it to see what will happen.
This is the first, my first upload to Soundcloud and also my first attempt at a mix.

The idea for this one grew from a not too minimal minimalism, kind of (barely) inspired by Philip Glass and Clint Mansell. Somehow I think a bit of Jeff Wayne slipped in there as well. I really enjoy the way the second half alternates between 3/4 and 6/8, but I could not do anything with that "guitar" sound. VSTs aren't going to cut it from here on, I fear, I may have to start recording real instruments.

I think the genre is post rock. It seems closer to that than anything, I think.
