I've heard fusions of Tango with different styles of pop music. I wanted to try to make a Tango fusion that would throw a little Heavy Metal into the mix. Or a lot. For The Living Dead to whom this song is dedicated.

Tango De Los Muertos Vivientes

Abstract chords, altered scales, harmonies created out of organized dissonance.

FlatTire

Heavy riffs, augmented by mildly clever rhythmic variations.

As Sand Is To Rock

Dirty Diaper Duty

Composed of a jaded, post-irony dalliance with the Whole Tone Scale, the sense of waiting for things which have a way of taking way too fucking long, and the feeling of frustration at those who choose to take their sweet time when they need to hurry the fuck up.

Patients Patience

Trying to make something interesting; something, hopefully, that doesn't rip off Black Sands too badly or in poor taste. A little more mellow, less experimental, possessing actual tonality and chord progressions and such and so forth, my attempt at a more relaxed minor-mode rainy-day chillout song.

Soulfire

Altered Minor scales, Double Harmonic perhaps? I think that's the one with two augmented seconds. Dissonant atonality set to persistent syncopation.

Dropstep

More Whole Tone, this time with power chords on severely drop-tuned guitar. Drop A is the new Drop D. I mean, the perfect fifth isn't really in key, but the key isn't really a key is it? And the root notes on the Bass usually help bring it back around in any case.

Ghost Dance

The point at which the emotional tension affects the physical body and disables it almost completely. Another Drop A Power Chord song, this time using the half-whole diminished scale.

Nervous Breakdown

Remix using stems provided by Noone. Created using Ableton Live, NI Studio Drummer, and Guitar Rig.
