somewhat a WIP

2nd pass added more distorted guitar and bass... back masked the original song

5/11/21 3rd pass:  added 5-6 overdriven and distorted guitar lines, other than bringing up the drum line a bit.... this mix might be just about right ... the composition is dead on for what I "pictured" in regards to the the scene and the story... need to fix end...

Story Line to this track:

more to come...

Final Mix for the album
A slight rework, +303 and 2x more guitar lines, +1 Basslines, compostion made more epic and progressive

Chronicles of the Winter War (Outra Soltice)

WIP: I found a routing problem in the main orchestra  bus  that  was causing orchestra layers and channels to be re-routed to the vocodex which was removing several scores from the previous version... orchestra groups and even Bass to orchestra interplay..

Twilight

It occurred to me, as I was expanding the themes for the original "Twilight", that in 20 something years, I had never created a song, for, about, etc my home state : Texas. and every since I first set a voice to that opening theme of that song with a fender driven guitar--that sound and that theme has reminded me of what it felt like to grow up here, before my state lost its mind, when people here really and nearly always cared about each other, when the nights were crisp and the twilight was "wide" and intense as the day blazed out across the dimming horizon and then cooled into a million stars. So I hope this version brings some of that time and sentiment back... brings back the Texas I knew and loved so long long ago...

Texas Twilight

inspired by one of my most favorite movies...

If at the beginning and a few other places, you think you hear a bit of "Also Sprach Zarathustra" the tone poem by Richard Strauss--the opening to "2001 A Space Odyssey"  that was "about" around, etc Nietzsche's book that was a arch-type for the "Superman" you have a good ear... since "Being There" is kinda of a more modern version of Nietzsche's  work it was fitting for it to be used in the movie(the tone poem was)--in a very funky rendition--as Chance Gardener is leaving the only home he knew into the very urban 1970's Washington DC... It may seem that I am obfuscating Strauss's Themes, but no... mtc

B3ING TH3RE

The Heavy

prepositions, ideas, places, parts of places:  mountainside, oceanside, countryside, hillside, upside--now in context of my and your mind/brain, 
result: Mind-Side/Mindside... welcome to a musical representation or interpretation of my mind/brain... this is but one perspective--there may be more ;) 

There were two updates to this song, then I realized... they were not updates... they were continuations exploration and expansions of this very track... so I rolled them back to this first version and will expand versions 9.5 and 10.1-10.9.. mtc.. soon

M1ND-S1D3 - Alpha site

2nd pass: temp removal of basslines, to sort them out
3rd pass: added one new bassline(only one now) as others were too heavy and I wanted a more minimal sound overall. 

getting closer to final I think--this series will be a trilogy 

Still a WIP

M1ND-S1D3 - Beta site

still a bit of a WIP 

But... Jazz beats meets industrial/glitch... yes :) as this Post Electronica exploration trilogy expands on earlier themes as the themes further morph into one another...

This piece serves as the conclusion of the series...

M1ND-S1D3 - Gamma site

Let's begin a new EDM dance series with songs built around elements that are part of have been constants in "club" music and span even back to  Discothèque these songs will have key Prime genres as a backbone and wrapped/morphed  using our current POST ELECTRONIA awakening--resulting in a hybrid cross section 

"CLUB KNOWLEDGE"

From the ashes of Disco came,,, "House"--key elements 120 bpm, Piano, Driving bass lines simple but interwoven Drum machines: TR-808, TR-909, Linn. eventually other disco elements --strings, etc. became key First rose in early 1980s. Birthplace: "The Warehouse" Chicago Illinois 

future tracks in series:

CLUB DRIIVE - Techno
CLUB LOGIX - Trance
CLUB CHA0S - Dubstep
CLUB HEADZ JUNGLE
CLUB SPIRITZ CHILL/Ambient

C7U8 Kn0w73dg3

Clu8 Gh0stS

Take the Integral of Massive and Drum track  (side chaining) and pump those through Vocodex, Pitcher, and Omhboyz and you will approach the complexity of this over 50 tracks (85% are FX real-time controls)  track that further exploders FLS 20.9 limitation (believe me, I crashed up at least 3 times while making this or  locked the graphic---I suggest enhanced auto on this one (Win 11, etc )

Ghost In The Machine

Urban Jungle Morning

The complete inverse of the previous "sister" track :  "Urban Jungle Morning

Urban Jungle Midnight

A Future Time

At first this might seem like an Electronica facade that has been applied over a existing Symphony/Orchestral Performance of Debussy's "La Mer"--Truth is, I created both sides of this piece (meaning the orchestra side, and the electronic side--actually they are  both electronic --of coarse Claude Debussy provided the amazing score... I just shaped it...

Still a WIP

La Mer

La Danse Macabre

La Dance Macabre ( carrousel de la mort mix)

This Band and especially this song, is one of the reason I even make music... Thank you for the Inspirations and your gifts: Jon, Steve, RIP Chris, and especially Rick and Mr. Bruford...

Vs Yes - And You And I (for the love of music mix)

song for the upcoming "R3TU2N T0 TH3 S1L3NC3" a full album inspired by the music of the USA TV show "Mr Robot" Note: this track was originally called "Encode (3NC0D3)" but It wasn't really what I wanted or envisioned for that track... "Return to" was a more ominous and appropriate name for both the track and the album. The run time of 6:09 was very intentional as well... there are a lot of "Easter Eggs" in the run times of this album... this is just one... (6:09 form a ying-yang of sorts or a juxtapose )  

R3TU2N 2

The "Holy Light" brought interesting ideas, but also a lot of "clutter" The "Tempest" mix not only attempts to sort that out but tries a faster beat and a more aggressive mix composition. Overall the "sound is closer to the first Leviathan version but with the added new Hammond B3 themes. As with the other versions this song "pits" the Hammond B3 and Heavy Guitar and bass against one another, but further bonds those and Native Instruments "Massive" (the dub-step king) against one another.

73V147H4N (Tempest Mix)

Originally slated for the earlier "non funk" version of "D.A.D.E.S." this track has not seen the light of day since 2010. As one may guess the title and the mood of the song was inspired by Walt Whitman's masterpiece poem: "I sign the body electric"....however my version explores those same themes with Robotics and God...

8 B1T K1NGD0Ms: Hero

An early composition of what has become my most complex caustic3 work to date... there will most likely be a couple of different compositions in due time...

Down the Deepest Blue

Hard hitting and nrg driven/EDM version of old Wintermut3 standard featuring Image-lines "Toxic III" Synth VST

Floor

The Light of You ( Toxic club mix)

A overall collection of the themes and phrases that would become the "Four Horses"

Four Horses

Four Horses: Overture

**Update: smooth out the mix a bit, one of the Harmor voices was generation harmonics in the lower registers that sound really bad on low fidelity earbuds and the like 

This music used to be about drugs or it would resemble a drug experience... lets bring that back... this track had both of those goals in mind... 

Old meets new as this pan EDM runs its coarse through your brain and veins -- TB-303 flying along with Wobble Bass while an SH-101 burrows under... drums are cross of glitch, house, trance, with a hint of industrial

vox to  be added next...

Light Speed

Better Living Through Chemistry

Well, it was over 7 years in making. I had dropped it and the project overall about 7 years back. That production is now resuming--this is the cornerstone of the album. The song itself much like Thoth, a dichotomy of "good" and "evil",  weaves its way through time and space, sometimes seemly near to veering into discordant oblivion and dangerously close to drifting into a clashing key, but then amazingly it pulls through into a 6 to 8 note non standard chord which drives into glorious brilliance and cosmic beauty... this is especially true at finale... still a bit of a WIP

God of the Ancients

Thoth: God of Magic & Technology (Technology Mix)

This is maybe "closure" or a least a part of that of an extremely dark time in my life and in Wintermut3's existence. 2008 was a terrible time for a lot of people as well, as for me. Many countries economies faltered or even collapsed. Wintermut3 production all but stop for nearly a year and the only thing I really worked on musically was a series of track built around a song called "Better days tomorrow"--what me and my then wife would tell each other during the year and a half it took me to find work again after the crash. That was the "highlight" of those years, trying to find work, with living in a house in the summer in Texas with no A/C or hot water--long story. BDT's main themes were intentionally repetitive to make the listener the monotony of those days. I resent broke out the best of the BTD compositions to create this... a final requiem to those dark days, music that as I work on it, still brings me to tears when I here those themes ... "Better Dayz Tomorrow..."

**Updated to V7_3_3_2017_r_9_1_sm_3_requiem_mix_3**

2K8 Requiem

A very experimental and progressive --and somewhat a WIP--track that explores complexities of the genre

however realize as per usual with me ...their are no instruments or band just my pure tenacity to create a mathimatical illusion--there are no samples or loops, just modeled instruments and thousands of hand laid notes .. just my laptop and my imagination... 

Malström 1

Scene 39-40 : Harkonnen Castle
In the script we approach the Harkonnen Castle, which is on the coast and feels more like the Atreides home than that normally associated with the Harkonnen.

Through a window we can see Peter (Piter) and Feyd playing chess, but Peter's pieces are spiders and scorpions, while Feyd's are butterflies and wasps.

Peter injects himself with liquid spice while Feyd wonders why the Baron is giving a party as "We've just lost Dune!", but Peter laughs at this notion.

At this point the references for the Moebius storyboards become more sporadic, but we still have a number relating to this scene.

The Harkonnen Castle is now a giant statue, and the storyboards suggest a more cinematic camera move panning up the statue to the head and then zoom in through the eye to Feyd and Peter playing chess.

Although there are no available references for the chess scene itself there is an image of Feyd burning a butterfly while smoking a joint. Perhaps this is a butterfly chess piece from the scene?

It is interesting to note the progression of the design of the Harkonnen Castle, from a traditional style build to a giant statue, perhaps combining the statue from the scene earlier in the script, and eventually into the design done by H.R. Giger.

Scene 39-40 : Harkonnen Castle

Maybe next will be a variation, but this mix (number 19) is as close to the original as I could hope to get... by ear that is...

Enjoy and support the great "Daft Punk" any chance you get...

as usual.. no samples are used... 
Guitars: Slayer 2
Bass: Modo Bass
Drums: FPC
Rest: mostly all from the great soft-synth: "Morphine" available through image-line
Church bells: Morphine with severe tweaking ;)

Aerodynamic (19) Daft Punk vs Wintermut3

Very much a Study for the "Extended mix", especially near end--need more active slayer 2 control. This work is very much out of respect and love of this amazing band and is no way meant to take anything from Iron Maiden. 

Guitars: 5x Slayer 2 vst
Bass: Modo Bass by IKMultimedia 
Amps: Amplitude 3
Drums: FPC with HD Metal and HD Rock kits
Score: MIDI
DAW and Mixdown/Master: FLStudio 12.x

Rime of the Ancient Mariner (Wintermut3 vs Iron Maiden )

These three shows ("Space 1999", "Hawaii 50", and the "Six Million Dollar Man" ) all had opening credits song themes with common characteristics (all used Timpani Drums a lot with more "modern" Drum kits for instants)  and instrumentation.. and all despite the lifespan of the show, had episodes that overlapped in 1977... a very special year for me...  yes I watched all three shows nearly till their final episode...

A TV Night in 1977

Paragon

An interpretation of this class Yes track that features Rick Wakemans amazing keyboards

rigs: 

IKMM syntronik: V80
IKMM syntronik: Pro-V (prophet 5)
IKMM syntronik: Drawbar Organ
IKMM SampleTank 4 (pianos) 
IKMM Modo Bass (Chris Squire's amazing Rickenbacker Bass)

**Note at around 10:20 you can hear as the prophet decays into detuned bliss.. .how accurate IKMM has modeled a true analog synth but rendered it digitally :)

Awaken (WM vs Yes Rick Wakeman Tribute)

The Sun King in all his Madness... 

For this song and other themes for the Sun King--"Battle at Horizons End"--I wanted to work with the idea of being exposed to the very apex of the Sun all day... in other words.. Mad with Heat exposure. So most his themes are dark and unpredictable  and etc. but still some how "joyous" and misguided... when I thought of Sun King .. the first idea that came to mind was Louis XIV...aka "The Sun King" that was a strong driver as well ...

the opening analog synth via IKMultimedia's "Syntronik" Juno is massive and plodding to show the sheer and over-whelming size of our "Sol"

Then the king in all his glory and madness enters via about 5 to 6 pianos

The Sun King

WIP
11/19/20: first update, fixed bass tones...

4/11/21: 2nd update, fixed routing problem between master-> piano fx buss->piano main that was the latter channel to be x2 or more in presence and volume.  swapped a lot of the piano for trumpet and trombone , as was intended .. added 3 bass lines (2x slap, 1xDi/Distortion. near finalize of master buss fx... this version uses 82 plugins and the 256 bar composition has 25k+ notes in all the sequences (midi) and takes 14gig of memory to edit and mix 

Battle at Horizon's End

One lonely night in early 2001, I decided to play (not sequenced at all) and record one of my favorite pieces of music, and add my own twists to it...
I memorized the progressions and practiced for about 20 minutes, and then live recorded this in one take.

Original masterpiece by: Aram Khachaturian. Performance: Wintermut3 (Live)

Gayane Ballet Suite Adagio (WM3 vs Aram Khachaturian)

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

“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...
