Electronicus Majoris: Symphonica

Still WIP, early share--front end still needs work. All orchestra structures have been replaced with 'non-traditional' electronic elements (Woods, Brass, Strings) Choirs have are completely entact of course. MTC

Finally decided to remap the Strings for 4 string part (Violin 1,2 Viola, ContraBass) from the tradional (IK Multimedia Miroslav Philharmonik 2, yes my secret weapon when it comes to these types of creations) to pure analog synths (via Syntronik 2, NI's Massive, IL's Sakura, etc) Some of these voices are still "string like" but are fully modeled via Sakura.

Electronicus Majoris: Beethoven 9th Symphony:Allegro ma non troppo, un poco maestoso

Electronicus Majoris: Beethoven 9th Symphony:Molto vivace

Electronicus Majoris: Beethoven's 9th Symphony: Presto 'O Freunde, nicht diese Töne!

From the WIki: According to Franz Mozart, Wolfgang's younger son, the symphony was given the name Jupiter by Johann Peter Salomon,[4][13] who had settled in London in around 1781. The name has also been attributed to Johann Baptist Cramer, an English music publisher.[14][15][16] Reportedly, from the first chords, Mozart's Symphony No. 41 reminded Cramer of Jupiter and his thunderbolts.

It was this idea that inspired the cover art, and in keeping with the Electronicus Majoris theme of Starships, "Jupiter" (Zeus) rising over the horizon of Earth, hurling Thunderbolts at the ships...

Arrangement choices: 

The choices for voices in a work like this, can allow you to hear the piece in a unique way. Mozart voice choices were not only "traditional" but spot on, to that end I only converted the Conti-Bass and Cello lines to Electric Bass.

Electronicus Majoris: Mozart Symphony 41 (Jupiter)

MTC I have wanted to do one of my Favorite Symphonies for quite some time, but knew I wanted it to be near perfect. I have learned a lot about this type of production as I have built this "Electronica Majoris" series of "Classics". This is my take on this amazing piece that really shows the incrediable diversity in Beethoven styles. About 50/50 "traditional" to pure electronic voices, however this is all completely electronically generated and arranged. Once again for the Conti Bass and Cello line I  have used electric bass ala "Chris Squire" styles and rigged (RIP Mr Squire, you are very missed). The mix is a bit aggressive but I feel it is how this piece should be rendered...  

The 2nd movement of this piece was feature in the TV series "Mr Robot"...

Electronicus Majoris: Beethoven Symphony No. 7 Movements 3 And 4

As I was revisting this piece due to missing the 4th movement the first time around and wanting to use a lot of the mixing ideas that had been the result of my workinig with Beethoven's 7th symphony, I decided to bring more emotion to this 3rd movement of his 5th Symphony threw tempo/bpm changes (this version ranges from 90 bpm to 135 bpm, and to mirror the flute and piccalo lines with a highly Filtered tb303. So instead of making this a "patch" to the already released 3rd movement... I decided this deserved to be a separate release. So here is the final ( save a few small edits I still wannt to do) version of Beethoven''s 3rd Movement in his amazing 5th Symphony... oh the "XD" refers to the extended Dynamics of this version tansients are fully intact.

As I work toward finally finishing my club series of tracks based on Wagner's Die Walküre , I decide to share  my orchestral version this time. Even though this version is pretty close to the score, I have added a bar or two here and there to change the original a bit.... as I tend to do ;)--don't get me wrong, this was a very difficult thing to create over all, this is far from being just a midi "port".  Instrumentation is a blend of 'traditional' and a bit of NI's massive and of course TB 303. I used Image line's Direct wav a lot, a bit of Sakura ( many of the strings, a few brass, main                timpani voice ) and a good bit of the Morphine synth (English horn, trumpets,trombone) a tad of Stylus (timpani, Tuba, Wagner Tuba)

Die Walküre

Electronicus Majoris: Die Walküre Part 3: Wotan's Farewell and Magic Fire Music

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...
