"Share their secrets...and be quick about it."  

This track wasn't originally going to be about Bletchley Park, or the heroic mathematical efforts to solve the enigma of Enigma, the unbreakable code machine...that was broken...helping the Allies win the war.  (Well, A war at least...not ALL wars.)  

No, my original goal was to make a glitch track using a chopped up movie snippet sample.  (The sample is pretty meme-famous, and you might guess it before the one time it plays clearly in the track.  You could earn some bonus Interbay points if you guess the source of the sample before you hear it clearly.)  

I got to thinking about the inherent confusion that comes in chopping up recognizable sounds, especially words, and then rearranging those parts and stitching them back together.  What results is something meaningless, but, because our human brains loves patterns...even when there aren't any patterns, we can sometimes feel like we're just on the verge of understanding.  

...and that, somehow, is how I ended up at Bletchley Park--the place where Alan Turing and the rest of the Bletchley Circle did what was thought to be impossible--to break the Enigma code.  

For a change though, I didn't add any samples from the many films or television shows based on the Enigma cracking team (the most notable, probably, being The Imitation Game, starring Benedict Cumberbatch as Turing...though, I am particularly fond of Enigma, from 2001--a more clearly fictionalized tale to increase the melodrama.  I guess I just find Kate Winslet more attractive than Benedict Cumberbatch.  (No offense, Benedict...but...you're no Kate Winslet.)  

For the music of this track, incorporating my original "glitch track" idea, I centered the whole thing around a jackhammer drum sound--very reminiscent of late 80s/early 90s dance industrial music...with touches of electro and breakbeat.  The synth sounds I used were harsh--almost like klaxon horns at times, like swirly swoopy bells in others, overdriven acid-style basslines lead into thick stuttery synth bass and back again.  And always, the glitchy incomprehensible movie snippet...  

It can be a rather maddening listen, if you're not up for that particular adventure--as sounds move around the width of the stereo spectrum (especially the drums--as I put on an "energy panner"--that will move the sound based on the "energy" of any particular part of the track.  It should feel a bit disorienting, unstable, and, possibly, unsettling.  (Especially in a "noise" solo break or the dual sided screech build.)  

The words are mine...though, again, the vocals are in spoken word form, from a text to speech program...and then those are chopped up and stitched back together as well, though, this time for clarity's sake.  

So, if you're looking for something with a bit of an edge to it...but still inherently listenable, this might be a good shout for you.  I mean, in the end, it is still VERY Interbay, isn't it?

Do those things or...I'll...ummmm...I will introduce a certain amount of a dry mud-like substance to your visual systems.  (I'm not sure why I'd do this, but it seems to fit with this particular track, so I'm going with it...)

Even when I was a child, I would learn any instrument...
since there was a music school in our small town where I grew up, but it was limited to the activities of the local musicians' band, the choice was rather limited... because piano, guitar or saxophone were not offered and that's why I decided me for the trumpet, which was not used for cast-technical reasons, so the FLÜGELHORN became my instrument...
In my youth I turned my back on music and was active in sports towards the end of my teenage years.
