Progressive Background

"Today You, Tomorrow Me". It was inspired by a stranger going out of his way to help me carry a wine fridge down the street after seeing me struggle... He said "today you, tomorrow me". Once I got home, I wrote this tune.

Release Notes:
The aural landscape provided by "Today You, Tomorrow Me" is replete with atmospheric context. Emotive images of hope and optimism wend their way through the opener as if travelling down a coruscating mountain road, confronted by a dramatic landscape as the world around converges in a moment of epiphany. Awe-inspiring natural forces then provide a backdrop of mental imagery as rolling waves and white horses translate to musicals equivalents throughout the "7am Mix".

Sieg's mastery provokes contemplation as the jagged beats of "On Your Own" jut out of the aural landscape akin to rocks rising up through an ominous and brooding seascape. Juxtaposed against this are soft and mellifluous melodic patterns that rise and fall in flowing beauty around their beat driven counterparts with effortless ease; waves coalesce and dissipate around the rock edges occasionally crashing into their surface with dramatic impact.

Outwardly innocuous in its opening movement, the "Unique Repeat" remix stands apart. Images of significant portent are summoned as a dramatic bass line matches a foreboding skyline before a crystalline lead line lacerates the audioscape, piercing a barren landscape with driving rain while simultaneously providing a sense of cleansing hope and vibrancy.

Light transforms dark; hope meets expectation.

Dan Sieg - Today You, Tomorrow Me (7AM Mix)

This is a little something from over a year ago, which I found in a dusty untitled folder. It started out as an original with the acapella as a placeholder vox, but eventually I started making the entire song to those beautiful vocals.. It goes through a story of sorts and isn't any traditional arrangement. Hope you enjoy as much as I do. ;) _dan

Out of respect for the artists and their label, this will remain streaming only.

The art is something that really inspired as well to finish this. I can't really tell where its from, but obviously credits to the artist!

Seawaves return riding the crest of summer waves. Cast upon the breeze in light airy refrain, motifs float and filter with infinite ease. Separated by vast ocean space England and New England unite, connected by the City of Angels.

Clicking percussive beats ring out in warm evening air; footsteps form rhythms on wooden boardwalks and ancient piers, each with unique stories to tell. Wooden benches tell tales of love stretching across generations as soft vocals whisper sweet nothings, safe in the knowledge that love nourishes the soul.

The sound of waves pulsates in musical fashion across a familiar soundscape, interspersed by emotive piano themes carried forward into the distance as the bright carnival lights illuminate a path. Laughter punctures the air, rippling in casual percussive joy and synaesthetic patterns. The world looks small from astronaut eyes, humanity’s fate tied in invisible bonds across the seas.

“Closer to me. I feel closer to you; everyday I awake from your amazing dreams”.

SILKRL041 :: Dan & Sam - Breaking The Illusion (Original Mix)

Beatport: http://bit.ly/SILKRL041

Silk Royal welcomes Dan & Sam to the imprint for their debut release, "Breaking The Illusion". This incredibly gifted duo consists of Dan Sieg and Sam Wilkinson, who hail from the States and Australia, respectively. On this particular release, Japanese label veteran Shingo Nakamura contributes the sole remix, which is truly as emotive and timeless as the original.

Dan & Sam's Original Mix is a melancholic, yet uplifting progressive trance anthem, which effectively channels the emotional energy required to 'break the illusion' of a previously blissful relationship. It begins with a chunky rhythm and "teaser" guitar pluck, which hints at the incisive theme that is featured in the main break. A powerful low-end energy emerges after the 32-bar intro, soon followed by higher-octave chord layers and subtle piano-based melodic themes. At the quarter turn, an awe-inspiring progression arrives: numerous layers create a deeply moving and haunting theme, upon which the remainder of the song builds. In the subsequent breakdowns, various variations on these themes are introduced, all of which wax and wane in intensity and emotional resonance. The end result is a truly breath-taking slice of progressive - one that has quickly become one of our favorite offerings in Silk Royal's label history.
