…and the Men Take the Place of Angels

Early WIP, MTC , Hybrid Tranditional vs Pure Electronic voices with focus on Analog Synth. This version "Minoris" is about 50/50 pure electronic instrumentation/voices(analog synths via IKMM Syntronik, NI's Massive, etc)  to traditional voices used in this piece (Oboe, Bassoon, Trombone, etc). There will be one more version, "Majoris" which will all but the choral voices pure eletronic--the voices of course are also electroniic, but are 'pure' in nature and tonality. I am working on a vocode solution to maybe get the Latin back in the piece, but this is a highly experimental process(using the non worded choirs you here in this piece as a "carrier" and they voice generating the latin) in nautre and despite early tests working, it may not yield the results desired and will burn up a great deal of time trying to vocode that amount of text, but we shall see--if it works, the. result should be closer to real "speech"/singing and not a robot...

10/9/23 this may be the final mix--I still have a few tests to do--of this version of my KV626.. overall all I wanted the Vox and the Electronic elements balanced in both presence and clarity, I think this mix has that, the proof will be in the Sub-Freqency sounds at key parts of the Mass, especially when those electronic voices start to resonate with the Basses in the Choir. Now on to the full electronic version and something I want to do around "Dies Irae", despite the subject as implied by the title I just mentioned, this work will be a chance to cut loose from all this seriousness--this is what I get for recently watching  "Amadeus" for like the 8+ time or more--but seriously, I have wanted to do KV626 for a very long time...

KV626 Mass  Complete: Electronicus Minoris

I have always had a general rule about Wintermut3, "I make music I want to hear" A Part of that has been to overcome barriers and "traditions"  of what Electronic music has been and continues to be--the upshot being, Wintermut3 will move in directions (Funk, Metal, Rock, etc ) that are of interest, despite being a pure electronic artist. Note this does not exclude me from making more "common" types of Electronic music. I will never stop making--as long as I breathe--Trance, Jungle, Breakbeat, Techno, etc. In Fact for about 15 years I have been exploring the idea that we may be not just at an Post Electronica but may in fact be nearing a musical Epoch (for lack of a better word) what I am saying is we might be heading for a music metamorphis on the order of when Baroque became Classical Bach, Handel, Vivaldi, Telemann (most prolific composer in history, over 3000 compositions (Late Baroque-->Early Classical)  Mozart,  Haydn, Beethoven, Schubert. These types of musical epochs are a hundred to over two hundred years in length. The period that is being bridged for us is the hundred or even nearly two hundred period in which Blues and Jazz was born and then over a hundred years influenced nearly all forms of music that we know which all music was. Electronica was born around the mid to late 1920s as that was the time several electronic instruments (Theremin ). For the most part Electronic music has been amazingly resistent to Blues and Jazz, but there are definately times that resistence has lessened. I feel all the various forms of music that where born out of Blues and Jazz or heavily influenced by it are fusing back into Electronica. I am not the only artist who strives for a hybid of "real" and electronic. Only time will tell...  

to that end, from Blade Runner: 

Dr. Eldon Tyrell:  "More Human than Human"
which I extend to Wintermut3:
"More Real than Real"  (on creation of "virtual" music)

Overall I am inspired even driven by this quote:

“Once you free your mind about a concept of harmony and music being correct, you can do whatever you want. So, nobody told me what to do, and there was no preconception of what to do…"  :Giorgio Moroder

In addition to living by the above quote:
Welcome to my nearly 20 year journey:  my music project Wintermut3 originally created in late 1998, with a first public release in early 1999 on mp3.com and other Music sites...

Originally inspired by the works of William Gibson, Wintermut3 is about bringing the listener into the sights and visions of the music. 
The music is highly story and concept driven and is made to immerse the listener in mood and feeling. 
The overall goal is to take the listener to a place they have never been before.
Highly infused with the music of Progressive Rock (Yes, Rush, Genesis, etc.) and early electronic (Tomita, Vangelis, Tangerine Dream, etc) all blended in with more "contemporary" electronic sounds (Massive attack, Enigma, Orbital, the Orb, BT, etc) into something I call: "Concept Electronica". None of the sounds you hear in Wintermut3 are "loops" or "samples" especially the more organic sounds (electric guitars, horns, etc), I lovingly lay every note and run them through various software (DAWs, VST, VSTi, etc) and or model the Instrument that renders them. I have spent many many years to get Wintermut3 to sound as "real" and organic as I can... I take great pride in this ;)
Regardless, what results is music that follows the original premise of my musical "project" Wintermut3--music that is a logical progression of what is known and loved up to the point of the project's inception over 16 years ago--In short, it is music "Built for the Future", not now...but it is always fine to like, love it now...
