You might find that the piano playing at the beginning seems a little out of tune - that’s because I’m
not using the standard western scale known as equal temperament. I’ve actually tuned the piano in
line with the alp horn, the national musical instrument of Switzerland. It’s a really long (like, several
metre-long) horn with no holes in the sides so it actually plays in a natural harmonic overtone series,
so I think it gives the piano a beautiful clear resonance as well as (to western ears) a sort of gentle
wooziness. The rhythmic elements of the track are inspired pretty much directly by the original, just
translated into a quicker tempo with some added sound design. I’m really interested to hear what

people think!

Djrum 'Plead With Me'

These tracks are out-takes from my first alum Seven Lies. Those familiar with my music will know that I love a coda. A coda is a passage at the end of a piece of music that brings it to a conclusion. I often use a coda as a way of framing the piece in a slightly different context than it would otherwise end. Like a musical aftertaste. When I was working on Seven Lies I made codas for several tracks but I was never completely happy with these two so they didn't make it on to the album.

As I work on my second album I have been looking back at the process I went through for my first alum and remembered these outtakes. They're not so bad after all. Perhaps they are worth airing to the world. I hope you enjoy them, or at least find them an interesting insight into the workings behind the music.
