I wrote this track towards the end of 2021, when it was becoming clearer the lockdowns (such a macho name for something so horrid) were coming to an end, so I wanted to create something that sounded more optimistic than what I'd done before.

The kernal of the idea came from a sequencing/MIDI experiment I was doing with my JX-3P synth. I set the chord loop running and started playing a melody on top of it. That synth has limited polyphony (8 notes) so I knew I had to keep things simple, hence the almost nursery rhyme quality of the tune.

The next part that came along was the strings countermelody/harmony, which I first played by hand on the Juno-Di to work out how to harmonise the two parts, then it was recreated as a sequence in Fruity Loops.

Once I had those main melodic themes the JX-3P parts ended up in Fruity Loops as *.wavs, then I built up the arrangements from there with plugins.

It's not often I do 'beatless' tracks, but this one works really well without any percussion parts and seems to have a genuinely timeless quality to it.

It's also proof positive (should anyone still need it) that electronic music can convey a real emotional punch. 

The photo was shot a few years ago by me on Jesus Green on the way home from an afternoon in town, and I spotted those glorious sunbeams just as the sun was setting behind the clouds after what had been a quite grey, overcast day. Never was there a more appropiate image for this track!

In Hinduism, "Surya" refers to both the Sun itself and the solar deity, a major figure in the Smarta tradition, considered a source of warmth, light, and life.

"Back Then, in That Summer" is a gentle and nostalgic ballad, a flowing song bathed in light and memory. It evokes a summer of childhood or adolescence, suspended in time — a moment both simple and pure, yet unforgettable.

There appear to be several 3DMs here on Soundcloud now, so I have to point out...

      ***************************
      *I AM THE ORIGINAL 3DM!*
      ***************************

I've been using that artist name *for at least 20 years*, and that's all I'll say on the matter.

DELIBERATELY DIFF'RENT DANCE MUSIC: a moniker and a manifesto since day one and still continues to be so. 

Not only do I sit outside of genres I strive to actively create new ones all the time - and then move on!
;-)

Just a quick message to all my new followers - THANK YOU! :-D

I can't always reply individually, but your support is **absolutely respected and appreciated**, so please keep hitting the 'Follow' button when you can!

Respect One and All,


Marc (aka 3DM)

ABOUT ME...

I chose the name 3DM because it gives me the freedom not to conform to any specific styles or genres as well as room to experiment and try out new and different ideas. Of course as with all experiments some are better than others, but hopefully you'll like most of them!

As such it's my 'mission' to never just become entrenched in one genre, as electronic and electro acoustic music offer unlimited possibilities, so why tie yourself down?

At this stage I should point out I am available for production, remixing and remastering work!

Don't be offended if I don't reply/chat to all of you, as I'm busy living my life outside of "Cyberland" too, although that doesn't mean I'm not paying attention!
