Over New Frontiers

Meditating on the complete confusion of messaging from media platforms. Who and what do they support (apart from where the money is)---stop hedging---there is a huge scandal unfolding before our eyes...I just 'do not get it'.

I Don't Get It

This song is an immersive, futuristic techno-funk odyssey that transports listeners to a digital realm where rhythm and technology collide. With its infectious, glitchy beats and pulsating synths, the track conjures up images of a neon-lit, cybernetic dance floor where the boundaries between human and machine dissolve. The lyrics explore themes of digital transformation, sonic rebellion, and the thrill of losing control in a world of fractured rhythms and broken beats.


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1:]
Quantum circuits spark a digital dance
Neon pulses in a cybernetic trance
Fractured rhythms, a new language born
In this techno-funk realm, we're reborn 

[Chorus:]
Glitched groove odyssey, we're riding the wave
Broken beats and funky rhythms we crave
Techno-funk fusion, a digital spell
In this matrix of sound, we rebel 

[Verse 2:]
Electric currents flow through our veins
Fragmented melodies break the chains
In this cyber-funk world, we lose control
Bits of bass feed our digital soul 

[Chorus:]
Glitched groove odyssey, we're riding the wave
Broken beats and funky rhythms we crave
Techno-funk fusion, a digital spell
In this matrix of sound, we rebel

[Verse 3:]
Analog heart in a quantum stream
Funkadelic glitches fuel our dream
We're transcending time in this sonic maze
Dancing through a digital haze 

[Chorus:]
Glitched groove odyssey, we're riding the wave
Broken beats and funky rhythms we crave
Techno-funk fusion, a digital spell
In this matrix of sound, we rebel 

[Bridge:]
Rewired minds in a techno trance
Algorithm rhythms make us dance
Error codes flash like disco lights
As we groove through digital nights 

[Chorus:]
Glitched groove odyssey, we're riding the wave
Broken beats and funky rhythms we crave
Techno-funk fusion, a digital spell
In this matrix of sound, we rebel

[Outro:]
Glitched groove odyssey, we're lost in sound
Techno-funk beats turn our world around
Digital rhythms, a new dimension
Breaking free from conventions

LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
Cyber streets pulsing with light
Neon dreams ignite the night
Glitch in the matrix, we're breaking free
Digital rebels, you and me

[Chorus]
Surge! (Feel the flow)
Electro-funk, let it grow
Glitch-hop rhythm, put on a show
Break the code, let chaos go

[Verse 2]
Holographic beats in the air
Virtual reality, beyond compare
Synth waves crashing on binary shores
Techno-funk knocking down doors

[Chorus]
Surge! (Feel the flow)
Electro-funk, let it grow
Glitch-hop rhythm, put on a show
Break the code, let chaos go

[Verse 3]
Quantum funk in a parallel groove
AI-generated moves to prove
We're dancing on the edge of time
Where man and machine intertwine

[Chorus]
Surge! (Feel the flow)
Electro-funk, let it grow
Glitch-hop rhythm, put on a show
Break the code, let chaos go

[Bridge]
Firewall crumbling, system overload
Funk virus spreading down the road
Reboot your mind, upgrade your soul
Let the techno-rebellion take control!

[Outro]
Neon. Pulse. Rebellion complete!!! 


Critical funk levels, overload imminent

Digital chaos, system relinquished

Code red, funk transmission hijacked

Neon pulse, beating out of control

System crash, rebellion victorious!

Signal lost, funk transmission terminated

Neon pulse rebellion, mission accomplished!




Neon Pulse Rebellion

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...

Songwriting has been a lifelong passion for me, dating back to elementary school when I first began crafting stories, poems, and eventually lyrics. As a former drummer in various bands, I always relied on others to bring my words to life musically. However, after a long hiatus from drumming, I decided to take the leap and learn to compose music to accompany my lyrics. Through classes and dedication, I've embarked on a new journey, breathing fresh life into old lyrics and penning new ones. You'll find a mix of older and newer works here, for the lyrics. 

Music has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. One of my earliest memories is being completely entranced by 'The Little Drummer Boy' as a very young child. There was something about the rhythm and the melody that just captivated me. I must have played it a thousand times, wearing the record out, and from that moment on, I was hooked. I knew I wanted to be a drummer and to create that magic for others. 

But I was too young then, and of course, I couldn't afford a drum set just yet. So, I turned to writing as a way to express myself. As I mentioned above, I started with stories, then poems, and eventually, lyrics. I found that writing was not only a way to tap into my creativity, but also a way to process my emotions and experiences. 

As I grew older, my love for music only deepened. I realized that music has this incredible power to transport us to different times and places, to evoke emotions and memories that we thought were long forgotten. It's a universal language that can bring people together like nothing else can. 

For me, writing lyrics is a cathartic experience. It's a way for me to tap into my emotions, to process the world around me, and to create something that I hope will resonate with others. And when I hear my words come to life in a song, it's truly magical. It's a feeling that never gets old, and it's what keeps me coming back to music time and time again. 

I love many genres of music and artists of many genres. And if you listen to some of my songs, you will find that I like to make songs of different genres as well as mix different genres into each song. One of my all-time favorite bands is Evanescence, and I have made a lot of songs where I have tried my best to emulate that sound. 

Now, I have recently started experimenting with new sounds. I never heard of glitch beats before I took music classes, and now I'm fascinated with the sound, so I have been experimenting with glitch beats recently. 

I hope you enjoy some of my songs. And thanks so much to everyone who has been listening so far. I truly appreciate it. I welcome constructive feedback to help me grow as an artist, and I appreciate your support. ❤️

BTW if you follow me, I will ALWAYS follow back. If I like your music, I will follow you, but if you don't follow me back within a week or so I will probably unfollow. The same goes with when I see someone listening to my music, I WILL follow, however, if they don't follow me back within a week or so, I'll unfollow, because I'd like to even out my follows versus followers numbers. I'm following way more than I'm being followed back. 😢 Hope that makes sense? 😘
