Man another solid track and that guitar sound reminds me of AOR & 80's sweetness \m/

Obviously, summer time is over and after a full summer of orchestral work (i.e. “The Grandparents Haunted House - Orchestral Suite”) I am back to Fusion Jazz as I was composing some years ago. Those who know me will recognize the excess in every way such as many theme changes, full hands piano chords, and over-orchestration but what can I do. This is me. I could probably have done 4 different songs with those themes and ensure I would not need more than 10 fingers to play the piano. Moreover, the 110 tracks of the orchestral version is telling me that I should have stop adding parts earlier.
Nevertheless, you are the judge. You will like one version more than the other and tell me if I went too far, or not enough, who knows.
Cheers

I made this music as badass as possible and on purpose since Heavyocity is a sampling library producer specialized into BRAAM and superhero bloc buster movie sampled instruments. Oh yah, I probably overdone it again. Big Time to say the least but hey, I am having fun. That kind of bloc buster music usually sounds like its a sound effect engineer that made the score, not John Williams. Nevertheless, I am guilty of not having any Heavyocity library and finally you know what, it may have helped. You will be the juge. Cheers

Ascaridida.com is a Trade, Retail and Finance firm that has a footprint all over the world. The firm fortune was built on a pyramidal business model using the Ponzi scheme as well as complex algorithm to find how to influence the purchasing behavior of their customers. The scheme is so simple and so common that nobody care or see it anymore. Combined with a very aggressive marketing strategy, the firm simply could not fail considering that 80% of the customers just can’t understand complex Terms & Conditions. Who read the small prints anyway? Who would believe that no one ever get back a full return on their investment made in their yearly subscription while still paying for the goods and services ordered over and above the subscription. Ascaridida’s doctrine is “In Fraud We Trust” and it pays big money that end up in a fiscal paradise. Obviously the board of directors of Ascaridida Corp. perfectly understood the rice and the chess board story and the power of exponential growth as they are using it every day. Would you know why 3 clear pyramid and one dark pyramid?

Ascaridida Corporation is an international parasite firm operating in this grey area where you wonder if what they do is legit or pure organized crime. Ascaridida’s doctrine is “In Fraud We Trust” and it pays big money that end up in a fiscal paradise. The main theme of this dark orchestral suite sets the ambiance of this damning story.

The Firm Main Theme

Track 3 of the Album https://soundcloud.com/user-461764443/sets/the-firm-dark-orchestral-suite
The Firm has a very prolific pharmaceutical branch. It started many years ago when a colorful and buzzing crystal was invented by their chemist Brian Black aka Weissenberg. At that time cash was raining on the company but the firm had to stop that branding once the pharmaceutical business unit went on the stock market. With this well acquired expertise they now produce the most wanted opioid called the Pentanyl. Recently they started to produce vaccine, which generates revenue that greatly exceeds any possible expectations. They sarcastically called their new vaccine the Crysta Pentana. The suspicious thing about it is that everyone that had the new vaccine was so happy about it and wanted new shots over and over.  I guess it is due to the crystal manufacturing legacy of the firm.

The Firm manufacturing gem is the Silicon Island. Not only is it a fiscal paradise but also a semiconductor manufacturing pole on earth generating billions of dollars every month. The microchips produced on that island are the most performing in the world and can be found in anything such as phones, computers, cars, appliances, modern intelligent garments and even in those new and naughty programmable dildos. The Firm semiconductor market share is so great that they define the prices and can create a pseudo shortage in order to increase their price and thus their revenue. Recently an investigator discovered that the Firm had a suspicious relationship with the Totalitarian Republic of Nicha, which created the latest virus spread in order to disturb the world economy for the benefit of the Firm Ascaridida.

The Firm CEO recently hired Aaron E. Must to work on two game changing industries. The first one being a worldwide network of car scrapyard and recycling. The second one being an electric car and Lithium ion battery manufacturing industry that would be dazzling the potential buyers with a bunch of useless features such as GreenTooth, a giant screen to view reality shows while driving and mostly a dummy pilot system that can crash your car should you want to suicide. Indeed, the environmentalists are making such a buzz around the greenhouse effect that most people wants electric cars, which would be fine if the electricity made in the world was from renewed energy but it is not. In fact, 70% of the electricity in the world is made burning fuel, gas or even worst … coal. One could ask legitimately, what is the benefit then since the electric cars already have twice the environmental footprint of a fuel car during manufacturing? Goooood question! Should it be better to use the public transport, a bicycle or even walk. Nevertheless, the demand for those cars is so great that people are ready to pay 3 to 5 time more for those cars then they would normally pay for a conventional fuel car just to have a ... clear conscience. Moreover, every old car will have to go to a scrap yard to be recycled. The market is huge and the consumers are blind and ignorant in front of the real facts and the Firm CEO knows it. Aaron E. Must is a part time asparagus farmer and full time electric engineer working at Y-Space to build an all-inclusive space resort bragging about having the first in space sand beach with a view on earth and its sunset. They do that just to prove to some beach bum moron that the earth is not flat. The CEO vision is to make huge money building a new electric car that would be called sarcastically the Cojonas model FU. He even created a new twisted credo for those two new ventures. “From the Grave to the Cradle”.
Guess what. He will succeed.

While the Orange Barron was busy on leading the war in Mexikrenia, the congress of his country made an investigation in regards to the circumstances of his election. Indeed, during the presidential election certification day a riot in the parliament suspiciously made the count change in favour of the Orange Barron despite the fact that he claimed during the campaign the opposition party would do such that this election could be the biggest fraud of the history. Indeed, some people noticed that the One Rublar Bill back side had the official motto changed to “In Fraud We Trust”. It was found that the newly elected president (the Orange Barron ) cheated his way into his seat by limiting the access to mailed votes, polling offices and even by excluding people of different religion, race or political affinity. Moreover, he bribed senior officials in order to create more votes in his favor. NATO on the other side found the Orange Barron guilty of Crimes against Humanity after killing millions of people during the war in Mexikrenia. Even though he declared himself the dictator of his country, the population and the authorities brought him on trial. He is now languishing in the most sordid prison of his country for the remaining of his life with no possibility to any pardon.

NOTE: The Rublar is the currency of the Orange Barron country and “In Fraud We Trust” is his business doctrine, which by the way is the same doctrine as the Ascaridida Firm and the Tremendump Organization.

Musical Notes: Music influenced by Erik Satie (but less static), Frederic Chopin and mostly Ludwig Van Beethoven as if he had access to a 97 keys Bösendorfer Concert Grand 290 Imperial in 1801 when he composed the Piano Sonata No. 14. The chorus is inspired by the orchestration used by Thomas Newman in Wall-E and EVE "Define Dancing" scene.
