Sometimes it is worth taking a look back at the path we have taken to determine the future course.

maybe - Do You Really Want It (Seb‘s greediness remix)

A section (piano melody, bass, piano, mallets piano and field recording backing tracks)
B section (piano melody is routed to a percussion sample bank, randomly triggering percussive sounds, backing tracks continue)
A section (piano melody returns over backing tracks)

For this challenge @disquiet:
Step 1: There’s a now famous quote from the opening of the 2006 film The Prestige. It goes as follows. Give it a read:

“Every magic trick consists of three parts – or acts. The first part is called the Pledge. The magician shows you something ordinary: a deck of cards, a bird, or a man. He shows you this object. Perhaps he asks you to inspect it – to see if it is, indeed, real. You know: unaltered, normal. But of course … it probably isn’t. The second act is called the Turn. The magician takes the ordinary something and makes it do something extraordinary. Now, you’re looking for the secret, but you won’t find it, because of course you’re not really looking. You don’t really want to know. You want to be fooled. But you wouldn’t clap yet. Because making something disappear isn’t enough. You have to bring it back. That’s why every magic trick has a third act, the hardest part, the part we call the Prestige.”

Step 2: This arc, moving from Pledge to Turn to Prestige, can be read as a take on the classic ABA structure, in which a theme is introduced, then something else occurs, and then the piece returns to where it began.

Step 3: Compose and record a piece of music that takes the process described in The Prestige as its blueprint.

(Let's Dance With) THE TRUTH

Let's dance, let's dance

When they come around they look at you, just like they know you
You’ve seen them on TV, heard them on the radio, they’re almost like people
Get them on the dance floor of logic, learn from their strange moves
Out of time, out of tune, knocking people over and always first back at the bar 
(If you’re buying)

Don’t tell me the truth
I dont need the truth
Do You?
Don’t tell me the truth
I don’t need the truth

The hands tell the stories, the eyes show the horrors, the robots dance away
Stay by the Fire Exit they can’t do it for long, they’ve got to get back amongst their own kind

Let's dance, let's dance

Don’t tell me the truth
I dont need the truth
Do You?
Don’t tell me the truth
I don’t need the proof

Let's dance like the politicians, let's talk like the politicians
Let's act like the politicians, let's, let's lie like the politicians
What sort of sh*t would we be in?

Let's dance, let's dance
Let's dance, let's dance

Don’t tell me the truth
I dont need the truth
Don’t tell me the truth
I don’t need the proof

Let's dance, let's dance
Let's dance, let's dance

t, t, t, truth...
