Discovery #2

The Looking Glass #3

------------------ English------------------
The original track comes from my esteemed colleague Markus Vogt (aka Klangbiotop), whom I only recently got to know through my professional activities. The track "Bar der verlorenen Seelen" of his "Nachtstücke-EP" inspired me immediately and so with his agreement this second remix track of his project Klangbiotop was created in a short time.
As a result, from a musical point of view, my track became something more than a remix, as the elements of the original tempted me to rework it. In the foreground was the initially incomplete harmony of the sub-bass, which I expanded to a complete harmony. Then came the basslines, the pads and the super-saw sound, which were then framed by a new melody. From the original song, percussion loops, snare and many of the vocal elements were placed in the arrangement. At the same time, the arrangement was shortened to further increase the appeal of the song by making it more compact.
Please enjoy!

Der Original-Track stammt von meinem geschätzten Kollegen Markus Vogt (aka Klangbiotop), den ich erst vor kurzem über meine berufliche Tätigkeit kennengelernt habe. Der Track „Bar der verlorenen Seelen“ seiner „Nachtstücke-EP“ hat mich sofort inspiriert und so entstand mit seinem Einverständnis in kurzer Zeit dieser zweite Remix-Track von seinem Projekt Klangbiotop.
Im Ergebnis ist aus musikalischer Sicht mein Track etwas mehr als ein Remix geworden, da die Elementes des Originals mich zu einem Rework verleitet haben. Vordergrund standen dabei die zunächst unvollständige Harmonie des Sub-Bass die ich zu eine vollständigen Harmonie erweitert habe. Anschließend kamen die Basslines, die Flächen und der Super-Saw Sound, die dann von einer neuen Melodie umrahmt wurden. Vom Original wurden Percussion-Loops, Snare und viele der Vocal Elemente im Arrangement platziert. Gleichzeitig wurde das Arrangement gekürzt, um durch mehr Kompaktheit die Attraktivität des Songs weiter zu erhöhen.
Viel Vergnügen!

I had 2  more  stems to this but the keyboard on the computer broke down 
it doesn't take  keys anymore or any other input . So instead of a  " ringer " it became a
Dead Ringer . There was a counter rhythm and sort of a melodyline to this
maybe it can stand on it's own..

This track „My Ambience“ is a prototype of a progessive ambient style which could maybe be interesting for my collaboration project VORTEX ELEMENTS.
Will be more stuff like that to come in the future? Who knows but the future isn´t written so far, so stay tuned and wait for more music from me and my other projects with VORTEX ELEMENTS and my dear colleague Markus aka KLANGBIOTOP.

Ictus - Roberto B & Alex M

Music can express our deepest feelings when words sometimes fail or are not enough… This track paints a picture of what it might be like when Nature has an opportunity to heal itself from the destructive actions of the human race.

K.M.Ende and I share a deep respect for nature and a worry for how the urge to make as much profit with everything as possible rather than making more sustainable decisions affects our planet, climate, plants, all living beings, us. We got chatting about this topic which led to our collaboration. I am very happy to have shared some ideas and sounds with a wonderful producer K.M.Ende (https://soundcloud.com/b-p-s-s )whose music is beautiful, interesting and of high quality. Here is also K.M's other project https://soundcloud.com/missingwinter

Let us know your thoughts!

Some bioelectrical recordings of mushrooms by Michael Z Prime were used creatively in this track. He kindly let me use his fascinating recordings.

Preserve Christmas

That is keeping Christmas.

I choose to forget what I have done for others
and want to remember what others have done for me;
I choose to overlook what the world owes me,
and remember what I owe the world.

I want to realize that my fellow human beings
real beings as I am, and I want to try
and try to see behind their faces their hearts..,
hungry for joy and peace.

I want to close the book of complaints against the of the universe
And look around for a place where I can sow a few seeds of happiness.

(1852 - 1933), U.S. clergyman and writer

Weihnachten bewahren

Das ist Weihnachten bewahren.

Ich beschließe zu vergessen, was ich für andere getan habe,
und will mich daran erinnern, was andere für mich taten;
ich will übersehen, was die Welt mir schuldet,
und daran denken was ich der Welt schulde.

Ich will erkennen, daß meine Mitmenschen genauso
wirkliche Wesen sind wie ich, und will versuchen,
hinter ihren Gesichtern ihre Herzen zu sehen,
die nach Freude und Frieden hungern.

Ich will das Beschwerdebuch gegen die Leistungen des Universums schließen
Und mich nach einem Platz umsehen, wo ich ein paar Saaten Glücklichsein säen kann.

Henry van Dyke

(1852 - 1933), US-amerikanischer Geistlicher und Schriftsteller

Keeping Christmas

Lyrics:
In the moisty heat of the night I measure the viscosity of time by applying group theory to the ice cubes in my glass of blood.
I want to sooth my aching synapses in the liquid sun of chaotic melodies and bath my eyes in the clouds of muffled harmonies. 
The marbled coalescence of the iridescent canopies drips with vibrating tentacles of abstruse sensations which insinuate themselves into the cortex of our vibratory emotions.
The mystical tentacles of devotion slither around my wrists and ankles war and delicately vibrating invading my thoughts with their glassy intuition.
I can summon ancient idols from the gulfs of time and abyssal tombs. And wrap my naked body in the moist lust of their gaze. I can invoke the runes of power and abstraction carved in the soapy stone of a lost asteroid. 
Last words of vanishing gods reverberate in the echoes of their glory while the whips of remorse tear up the petrified flesh of their deceived heralds.
The winged demons and the ragged angels will rejoice and kiss my aethereal feet. 
The tides will cover the sand of our imagination, green and everlasting and salty and cold.

CHRIS GATE is a German Composer & Producer and works since 1996 with focus on Electronic Music. He is also part of the VORTEX ELEMENTS Project.

HISTORY: First he started with the Collaboration-Project NOISE CONSTRUCTION in 1996 and got the chance to release two tracks in 1998 on Millennium-Storm Records (Hannover/Germany) and its first Techno-Trance Sampler. But unfortunately the distribution of the disc failed and the label decided to discontinue its work. 
To get some new experience, a partnership of NOISE CONSTRUCTION with CJ MILLER as an upcoming DJ was a nice chance to get a new focus on straight Club sounds. 
The work of Noise Construction was discontinued at the beginning of 1999 and CHRIS GATE began to focus on his Solo-Project.
In 2003 he founded the collaboration project VORTEX ELEMENTS together with Sonic Chain, which can be discovered on Soundcloud. After some years his musical view changed from Club & Trance-Style to more classical Electronic Music Style.
During the time, he did some REMIXES for SNAP & BLANK & JONES (Remix-contests) and some of his own tracks as well.
Actually it´s the intention of CHRIS GATE to get some new Contacts , to improve the musical artwork and getting in contact with people who like his tracks.
