Enter the Ziggurat
Near final , did post mix/mastering in TRacks

Azanti Ziggurat: 1st Movement

I was working on this project as the Winds of war kicked up and Ukraine was swept into War with Russia. As this project unfolded, it was clear this song in my mind was being impacted by  these horrific events, especially the main theme from the original song is "repressed" by the most of the more ominous themes of my own I had added. This brought about the juxtaposed sub mix name--"me" in that phrase has many view points and perspectives--This War is Putin's personal War and we are all caught up in this as we should be Standing with Ukraine...This truly is in my mind "World War Me" The ideas and Themes of "Feel good Inc" fit well in this space of time too I feel.  I have tagged this tracked with UkraineForever and NoFly to support what my feeling about that amazing part of the World--Ukraine--and how those people standing against Russia and their forefathers very much shaped my country as well as many many other parts of the world--the Ukrainian spirit has been and will remain to be always unbreakable. "NoFly" to support what they need most right now--a NATO/UN established no fly zone over their airspace --this is paramount.

Feel Good INC (Gorillaz vs Wintermut3 "World War Me mix")

This is my gift to Kyiv and to al Ukrainians everywhere: whatever is monetized from this track will go to the Help of those noble people--all of it, %100 will go the Red cross. UNICEF,  it will go to Ukraine. This is all far far from me and Austin TX, but it is really not far and what is happening effects us all... Hopefully this track shows they are in  my heart.. Stay proud, Stay Strong, Godspeed to your victory and may God watch over President Volodymyr Zelenskyy

Spread this song far and Wide

Peace to Ukraine 
Peace to The World

original description: 

As more events unfold before this Ancient and Regal city, and the shadow of the Bear falls over brave Ukrainian's I wanted to take my "Hope" and give it to these brave and resolute souls--literally. I took one of my oldest and loved songs and re-composed it into this one.

Kyiv

Vs Wakeman: Excerpts From The Six Wives Of Henry VIII

a Five part series MTC

Lyrics:

In These times of war with fears of devices,
whose destructive powers remain unseen.
We forget of the weapons within the mind, that have destroyed
more men than machines will ever see.

These weapons have kindled every war since time began, and do not ally themselves with
the good or evil of men, but instead choose
anarchy & chaos to be their friends.

The weapons are the horsemen of the Apocalypse
and are four, who ride upon steeds called men,
and are named:
 pride--
 predjudice,
 jealousy,
 and greed.


The Everlasting Apocalypse: Prologue

The first of the 4 "horsemen" of my original cycle of poems--this one is: Pride. When I first wrote these lyrics oh so long ago, as part of a cycle of poems I did not realize how much I had made "Pride" like the first Horseman in Revelations both mine and that one are wearers of crowns and neither have obvious intentions to their true natures--The Revelations version is sorta of a "false" good maybe even a false profit. From the Wiki: "In John's revelation, the first horseman rides on a white horse, carries a bow, and is given a crown - he rides forward as a figure of Conquest,"I assure you these similarities are somewhat coincidence--however.there are strong connections between the ideas of Conquest and Pride/Hubris the later of which is one of the 7 Deadly Sins,. another idea I was not aware of when I first wrote this , As when I originally wrote this at roughly  18 years old, I was not familiar we the details with the Four horsemen or even Revelations

Lyrics:

Pride

Seemingly the most innocent of the four,
yet he has kindled many a war.

Built on good intentions yet steeped in fear,
that what he has made may not be enough near.


He revels in his creations pulling them over him
like a rich cloak as he sits on a throne of skulls.


Skulls of the ones he destroyed to make his kingdom,
as his jealousy excelled his dreams into oblivion.


He rules with what he feels is a gentle hand,
as he slowly crushes that which he does not understand.


His shiny crown bejeweled in souls
blinds his eyes to what he has done.
to what he has become... 

As a faint whisper tells him.
All is gold and grand....

The Everlasting Apocalypse: Pride

The focus this music offering is, Rhythm and Improv inspired  Drums--the *STAR* here is IKMULTIMEDIA.COM 's "Modo Drums"  the co-star is  IKMM's Amplitube5  and the mvp is the vox,  a combination of tts technology and my vast  knowlegde of vocal rendering and vocal virtualazation-- I call him, "Simon" :)

Lyrics

Perhaps the greatest killer of men.
Brought about by an even blend,
of differences and fear of the enemy within.

It brings out the worst men of man,
who points a finger of accusation
at what they do not understand.

They make what they fear a scapegoat
in the name of God and the society of men
while washing their hands in the waters
of truth + sin.

They burn what they do not see in the mists of Flaming icons.
Frightened children huddled around a blazing fire,
all try to pretend they are braver than any.
Whilst spinning tales of bravery + envy,
mocking the fear that is so close to their heart,
yet denying all they are,
or have ever been.

The Everlasting Apocalypse Prejudice

MTC

Lyrics:

Jealousy

Ally of prejudice, rival of fear.
She is truly the queen of the apocalypse so near.

She is able to bring out the hate between friends so dear,
who have known one another many a year.

And can paint truth with a brush of envy and desire
of things so immaterial + insincere.

She mocks what she desires in order to hide
the blade forged in the fires of her heart.

Fires which she will spill upon the land seeking the
pain and strife of the things she cannot hold in her hand.

In a vortex of madness no words can describe
sanity holds its last lot, in hopes that the Queen

with eyes of rage will subscribe to peace
in the name of the society of man.

4th update: Dolby Mastered

3rd update, solidified the overall composition--added two new more 'concrete' guitar sections, one hook

Metal meets Cellos:

Werner Voss (German: Werner Voß; 13 April 1897 – 23 September 1917) was a World War I German flying ace credited with 48 aerial victories. A dyer's son from Krefeld, he was a patriotic young man while still in school. He began his military career in November 1914 as a 17‑year‑old Hussar. After turning to aviation, he proved to be a natural pilot. After flight school and six months in a bomber unit, he joined a newly formed fighter squadron, Jagdstaffel 2 on 21 November 1916. There he befriended Manfred von Richthofen.

By 6 April 1917, Voss had scored 24 victories and awarded Germany's highest award, the Pour le Mérite. A month's leave removed Voss from the battlefield during Bloody April; in his absence, Richthofen scored 13 victories. Nevertheless, Richthofen regarded Voss as his only possible rival as top scoring ace of the war.

Soon after Voss returned from leave, he was at odds with his squadron commander. He was detailed from his squadron to evaluate new fighter aircraft and became enthusiastic about the Fokker Triplane. After transferring through three temporary squadron commands in two months, Voss was given command of Jagdstaffel 10 on 30 July 1917 at Richthofen's request. By now, his victory total was 34.

His last stand came on 23 September 1917, just hours after his 48th victory. Flying a silver-blue Fokker Dr.1, he singly fought James McCudden, Keith Muspratt, Harold A. Hamersley, Arthur Rhys Davids, Robert L. Chidlaw-Roberts, Geoffrey Hilton Bowman, Reginald Hoidge, and Richard Maybery. After he fell in solo opposition to those eight British aces after a dazzling display of aerobatics and gunnery that put bullets in his every opponent, he was described by his preeminent foe, Victoria Cross winner James McCudden, as "the bravest German airman". The pilot who actually killed Voss, Arthur Rhys-Davids, wished he had brought him down alive. The dogfight remains a subject of debate and controversy among aviation historians and interested parties.

Wintermut3 Deep Bass is back

This time Deep Bass  provides the texture and grit for a Gunfighter at his last stand, as he pulls round after round against impossible odds...we feel ever bullet impact its way through flesh and wood as they splinter and explode in rains of blood and sawdust...this song is more visceral than melodic as it paints the final moments of the stories' subject...The composition is actually timed at around 63 bpm, normally slow, but I wanted it to feel synced to roughly to the listeners sense of time in seconds--the speed of life...

The Gunfighter

Imagine a 70s era Arena show of your favorite band, and just as the music hits a strong point, the music cuts to a Drummer Solo--however due to the magic of Modeled drums and modern music software--this is not a solo.. .but. more of a duo...that is right two drummers, two kits (One standard, one "Metal" ) completely in sync... it might sound something like what I am attempting here... the music has just cut out....enjoy...

Just Drumz 2

5th version, 1st update: added two new "B" sections to bring variety ,  complexity, and a greater sense of epic-ness that I wanted from the get go. Separated the drums in the spectrum to keep more bold and open...

Background: in days of old: it was "King's way", "King's Highway" or "Kings Row", "Le Grande Avenue", "Main Street" -or "The Boulevard"  but regardless name, it was and still is an Artery to the city, it was a:  "street of commerce" as it still is. At night it has a procession of cars out "cruising" as people from far and wide and unite in a sea of light and sound....it is in every major city in every nation in the world--it is the heartbeat of "civilization" 
This song wants to bring all of these idea/feelings to bear, to let the listener feel the cadence of  a thousand Boulevards...

On The Boulevard

D2UMM32 DU0  In The Rounds

A  Touch of Jazz

In nuclear engineering, a critical mass is the smallest amount of fissile material needed for a sustained nuclear chain reaction.  This track seeks to creation a "Metal" Critical Mass by using a minimum "Metal" elements--power chorded guitars, Metal Drums, Metal Bass....

C2171C4L M455

Vocoding with Power Metal guitars rounds this idea out--I will leave both versions of this track up, as they are very different songs despite the shared riffs

C2171C4L M455 (H1GH M455 Mix)

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)

Regardless of his existence, he lives in each and every Ukrainian. I pulled upon various Folk and Patriotic Folk Ukrainian songs for the Ghosts riffs and themes. 
The opening repeating "alert"-like theme is the Russian Su-30s which are  then chased down by the "Ghost"

May he live in all of us...

Ghost of Kyiv

Years

Sometimes songs beget songs, this track became "The Gun Fighter"

The Squire And The Reluctant Princess (In the Corrupted Forest)

Here is the uncut version of the Last track off of the "Nemesis: A Cyberpunk Gothic Tale" heard in all it's fidelity as a WAV  

Apocalypse of Nemesis

Inspired by a first day with the sun out after a days long ice storm.... all I could hear was the ice cracking in the sun. This song also inspired my Trance song "SOI"

as inspired by a poem i wrote long ago...

The Sound of Ice... 

Cold skies over winter
white,
fluffy.

Covers the trees
tall,
stiff.

All is a kingdom of Ice
glistening,
brittle.

Sun light blurs through
melting,
warm.

Listen to the sound of the Ice
Cracking,
falling.

Listen...
sound of blue,
sound of white,
Ice...

Listen to the calm of Winter
Wind,
Ice.

Trees leaning under the weight of it
drooping,
straining.

Listen...

The cracking....

Ice slowly fractures
tiny cracks
holding on to the trees
poised to fall.

Ice fragile like man
has its day in the sun
and then,
is gone...

MStemen 1-15-99
On a cold winter day...



The Sound of Ice

Another recently rediscovered lost track from the "Built for the Future" album circa 2001

Built for the Future

Generation Zero

Paragon

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)

A bit more of a "freestyle" version of this track--an RUR classic

Bad Robot (Hard Funk Mix 22 )

This is a Trance album that never got "officially" released in 2005. On the surface it seems like the same songs as other Wintermut3 albums, but as per usual--there are vast voice and composition changes and these are pretty much unique from songs that bear the same name--as always, the mix or sub-mix name will be unique. 

The Light Of You

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.  

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...
