Song examines the idea of dreams, both visions and aspirations, in the context of dance. 

Classical music, the dance music of the 1940's and 1950's, and modern EDM inspired the musical composition.

This is version B of Space Lovers, I tuned it up a bit for the International Songwriting Comp. 

Space Lovers (Original Mix)

Vocoders for the vocals and a minimalist approach for the rest. A lot of the sounds were derived from the waveforms of several different sized books closing (strumming sound, kick drum). I used Razor for most of the synths, the flute sound was made with Massive, and the Clarinet sound was made with Spark. There are several heavily modified sounds from Ableton's Arsenal Pack.

Hello, my name is Handel, welcome to my music page. 

There's something about music that cannot be explained by science. Could there be another dimension where music is heard in a deeper way?

The superstring theory in particle physics allows for 10 dimensions, the Bosonic allows for 26, and the unified, or 'M-theory' allows for 11 dimensions. 

Think of every dimension as being a strand in a rope: as the strands vibrate and resonate together they create the reality that we know. We know only four of these strings, however, I'm convinced that we do have alternate realities which we do not have direct hardwired senses to detect. What if love is another string? What if our 'souls' are the part of us that exist in the other dimensions that our conscious state is not aware of? 

I've been playing music for a long time. First the violin at 4 and at 8 I began playing the harp, eventually moving my way up to a concert pedal harp. At 16 I switched over to the piano. During my young adult life I quit music lessons and simply used the piano as a way to escape from a lot of things that were bothering me. Nothing can quite match the comfort I found through music. I played for hours everyday during my teen years. I almost feel like I owe a debt to the piano, like I need to go back and pay it some attention, kind of like that old dog you forget about sometimes, that is you forget to pet it like you know it wants. . 

After chasing down a career in the 'real world' I've been nothing but disappointed with the emptiness of pursuing wealth and prestige. I can't give up on my love for music, it is one of the only things that provides true warmth and comfort. 

The music scene is changing now. No longer does it take a large corporate enterprise to produce a decent sound. I have the freedom to say what I want and to play it the way I want. I find it extremely exciting that we all have the opportunity now to produce music at an amateur level that has a professional sound. The sky's the limit at this point. 

All of my music is produced electronically in Ableton Live, I draw in every note with a mouse on my laptop. Unfortunately I don't have enough time to produce work quickly. Usually it is a tossup between sleeping and working on music/writing. 

Thanks for listening.
