Escapee's Journal is a project that I've been working on for six years now. It began with a simple idea that I had when I was nineteen years old and it evolved into my first large-scale project as a composer and musician. The end result is a double album spanning over 90 minutes of wandersome instrumental electronic music. Many of the tracks are musically quite minimalistic without sacrificing detail in terms of production and arrangement.

Although the material on this album is dated and my musical style has evolved since recording it, I'm proud of the work as a whole because of what it represents - a young lad's first endeavour into the world of music. My dream is to compose music for film, TV, video games and pretty much any other commercial uses, and I hope that Escapee's Journal will help me attract the attention of filmmakers and TV producers.

Serenade For Strings in G Major - Valse

For me Johann Sebastian Bach has always been the Boss so here is my attempt at remaking one of his classic tunes in the Translunar style!!

The purists will hate it, but when has that ever stopped me and here is some more info about the tune:
Further information: Orchestral Suite No. 3 (Bach)
Bach's third Orchestral Suite in D major, composed in the first half of the 18th century, has an "Air" as second movement, following its French overture opening movement. The suite is composed for three trumpets, timpani, two oboes, strings (two violin parts and a viola part), and basso continuo. In the second movement of the suite however only the strings and the continuo play. This is the only movement of the suite where all other instruments are silent.

The music of the "Air" is written down on four staves, for first violins, second violins, violas, and continuo. The eerie, interweaving melody lines of the high strings contrast with a pronounced rhythmic drive in the bass.

In the late 19th century violinist August Wilhelmj arranged the second movement of Bach's third Orchestral Suite for violin and an accompaniment of strings, piano or organ (harmonium). On the score he had "auf der G-Saite" (on the G string) printed above the stave for the solo violin, which gave the arrangement its nickname.

In Wilhelmj's version the piece is transposed down from its original key (D major) to C major. Then the part of the first violins is transposed down a further octave and given to a solo violin that can play the entire melody on its lowest string, the G string. The dynamic markings added by Wilhelmj are more in line with a romantic interpretation than with the baroque original.

As a violin can't play very loud in its lowest register, all the other parts of Bach's music were firmly reduced in Wilhelmj's version: the keyboard part is to be played staccato and pianissimo, causing the effects of interweaving melodies and of drive in the bass part to go lost. In the strings accompaniment version the violins and violas play muted (con sordino), and the bass part for cellos and double basses is to be played pizzicato and sempre pianissimo, with the same change in effect compared to Bach's original.

Later, a spurious story was put about that the melody was always intended to be played on the G string alone.[1] The violin solo part of Wilhelmj's arrangement is sometimes played on the counter-tenor violoncello. As a result of the popularity of the piece, on the G string remained in the name of various arrangements whether or not a string instrument playing on its G string was involved. Most of these versions have in common that the original melody of the first violins is played in the low register of a solo instrument, accompanied by a reduction of the material of the other parts of Bach's piece, although occasionally versions that stay more in line with Bach's original can go by the same name.
