Note: this is currently a "scratch area" for designing the playlist for the future album. This means that not only  will this list alter (grow, shorten, etc) but it will also mean new songs will be added over time as they "develop"/"manifest"

Dark Matter

Began as an experiment of mixing metal elements with Vocoding. Using not just a single Power chorded Distorted guitar as the Carrier in the vocode but the main guitar bus so that the carrier frequency was modified and shaped over time by all the electric guitars

C2171C4L M455 (H1GH M455 Xtended  Mix)

Originally inspired by Distorted 303 like leads and tracks like "Sandstorm"  This became the granddaddy mix that led to all the harder mixes of this track... This version also led to a strain of version that embraced one of my favorite percussion instruments, the Conga... Throughout a lot of the future versions of this track Conga lines would progress more and more... in both complexity of beat and or phasing  (some of the beats are in the phasing itself... ) The sub-mix name was inspired by Star Wars of course:

Obi Wan Kenobi: That’s no moon…it’s a space station.
Han: It’s too big to be a space station.
Luke: I have a very bad feeling about this.

Black Ice 2k (Thats No Moon, That's a Bass Station... mix )


A song that works all the various elements that are EDM into one track...

The elements from "GroundFx" make their way into a more traditional Trance version of that song. One note about these FX songs especially this one...my life is very crazy right now as lives tend to  be at times and I think the power of these song and its sister are reflective of a lot of elements in my crazy life right now. Namely I have noticed the two particular contrasts in this track: the "struggle" between the rhythms and melodic elements; and the constant attempts by the main melody/phrases to "resolve in a more major way but sadly keep finishing in minor. I wanted to points these out because there are not just arbitrarily there... 

Air FX

It's been awhile since I have dipped back into the "Black art" of Trance... so lets dive into the dark-side of it...

Main synths: Massive,GMS, 
303: Phoscyon
DAW: FLStudio
Notable FX: NI Driver, Grossbeat,  FL Convolver

Antimatter

Inspired by the Helix Nebula (aka Eye of God) and original elements and themes from my N3WF0UNDL4ND remix, this dark and moody song vibrates, rotates, and  pulses like the Nebula itself...


Eye Of God (Mix Of Wrath)

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...
