Description:
I decided to tap into my latent '80s Depeche Mode subconscious, and this bouncy tune popped out! Ian Beardsley (eanbardsley) heard an earlier version of this and immediately detected Spanish flamenco hidden in the techno dance chords. I opened up the stage in the middle of this piece and asked him to spice this up with a little REAL acoustic Spanish guitar, which he did a very nice job with. The above artwork gives a taste of the music video that will soon accompany the music.
Original idea jotted down June 22, 2002, and as usual, forgotten. Composed note-by-note in Harmony Assistant, imported into GarageBand 2 & hyper-tweaked.
UPDATE!: The music video is FINISHED (a low-resolution "YouTube" version can be previewed here), and the high-quality DVD version is available for purchase at "The Lost Records" (with extras on the DVD, like a behind-the-scenes tour of making the music and 3D graphics, etc.) Here's a fuzzy peek at the DVD cover art: 
Hardware:
Macintosh dual 1Ghz G4, Ian's Acoustic guitar, Hot steamy bouncy mental dance floor.
Software:
Harmony Assistant composition software, Garageband 2, conversion to MP3 by "LAME" MP3 converter.

I could feel .... &mdash 02/03/07 - 07:04:44 PM
... my hair getting bigger by the second as I was listening to this .... yet I could still hear what I now term the "Drakonis Sound" .... what you are calling "synth" ... I sometimes can still hear as a hint of "harpsicord" in there and hints of those medieval tones I now associate with your style. The flamenco guitar in the middle was a nice addition - gave it an interesting flair. [ Reply to This ]

music was simpler back then, maybe that's it! Simple music for those big-hair days :-) Harpsichord? Well, I do have a thing for baroque silliness, and maybe that's peeking through everything I touch.,, I'm getting all introspective now, trying to understand that "Eu de Drak". Oh well, glad you like the scent, thank you for sniffing!

the art work is priceless! Technoids dancing under an alien disco ball, perfect art for this song. As usual, great arrangement, note placement is perfect, great, bouncy rhythmn, all with the Drakonis trademarks. Ian's latino guitar adds depth and color. Great all around! :-) [ Reply to This ]
Hahaha... &mdash 02/05/07 - 12:18:09 AM
Alien disco ball! That is very funny... and just you wait to find out what it *really* is! You will be surprised. I have the storyboard laid out, and the video is starting to come together now. Glad you like the changes, thank you for being a helpful listener, I'm glad you are on MJ now... well, I think a bunch of other people are glad you're here too now (and I promise not to say "I told you so!") oops.

Teamwork! &mdash 02/05/07 - 12:49:42 AM
Hey Ian, this piece sat on the cutting room floor for several years... and it was you who heard the Spanish bits in there, and made them stand out so nicely with your rolling arpeggios that really seem to contrast against my synthy arpeggios that they just act like they were meant to be together... I love it when that happens! Thank you for inspiring me to work on this more and open up the stage in the middle for you to play on. As I said above, my wife thinks there now needs to be more guitar throughout, and that it needs to be about 2x longer... so methinks there may need to be a "Return of the Technoids" sequel! Again, thanks for helping out here, and I'm working on the music video... we'll see if you like who I cast you and your guitar as in the movie. Stay tuned!

It has been a great pleasure working with you, such a fun endeavor and I hope to work with you more. I would love to pepper some more guitar in the song. I have to say the arrpegios in this piece are so exciting. I really can't wait to see the video, very nice work.

I knew what you meant when you said "DM", because the *other* DM is soooo '70s (remember the D&D game being played at the beginning of the movie "E.T."?) And since you like trippy stuff, the video for this should be right up your alley. Glad you liked my latest piece here, I certainly liked your latest too!

Thank you for checking out the dance floor. Mixing was a little tricky on this one because I'm starting to put more and more tracks into things, and balancing all the levels and equalization is now getting tricky for this little dragon brain! This took a lot of tweaking to boost the bass & treble on things without losing the midrange. I'm excited about the upcoming video for this, I hope you peek at it when it comes out!

Didge-ache's pink tie &mdash 02/04/07 - 02:27:06 PM
Brings me back to my days of listening to The Human League. A little bit. Again, this is a nice composition, Drak; you are creating some fun, bouncy, very Drako style melodies. The guitar is a nice touch, and it's played beautifully. I kind of agree with Rob that the guitar might work best beginning and closing the piece (and with part in the middle). Hard to say without trying it. Nice work Eduard and Ian! [ Reply to This ]

Who does the artwork? It's so cool... [ Reply to This ]
artwork at SchwanSongs studios... &mdash 02/05/07 - 12:10:58 PM
Glad you like my latest little project here. I grew up loving Rodrigo and Albeniz and de Falla, and I think little bits of Spanish influence were swirling in my brain when I wrote this... I thought it was wonderful that Ian picked up on the chords and performed a little snippet for this. As for the artwork, it is hand-assembled computer graphics ("ray tracing") scenery that I'm personally creating for a little CG music video short, to be posted on YouTube/GoogleVideo soon. I'll post a note in the forums here (and in this song description) when it is ready. You can visit the web site of the free software here (http://mac.povray.org/)... but it is not all that easy to use. I'm doing the same thing for my much more ambitious "Fractal Serenity" music video.

techno-flamenco? &mdash 02/05/07 - 03:34:29 PM
It actually kind of rolls off the tongue. Like your wife, I'd love to hear the guitar sound as an intro - along with the break in the middle, and i wouldn't mind hearing some mix of the boppy synth with the guitar in there, too. I love your idea of 'Return of the Technoids' Hmmm - wouldn't that make it a trilogy? I really enjoy this style. Takes me back to "the olden days when I was a kid" (That's a quote from one of my 3rd graders.) [ Reply to This ]
Blendomatic technoflamenco &mdash 02/05/07 - 06:21:27 PM
I'm very surprised and pleased at how well they go tegether... so as soon as I get the video finished I will have to go back and revisit this (yes you counted better than I) and make the THIRD in the trilogy... or actually, if it is like HitchHiker's guide, it would really be the 4th in the trilogy... since this came from a 30 second snippet piece that was the genesis for this. It would be funny to post the original short sketch piece itself, so people could hear how far it came. Or not. Anyway, thank you as always for offering your thoughts about what I'm up to! I'm always glad to see you stop by. I will definitely be thinking about threading more guitarwork through this soon. But as you will soon see, this version works perfectly as is for the upcoming video.

You know Victor, reading your comment just made my day... good thing my office door was closed, people would have wondered what all the giggling and snickering was about! Ahem, OK, I've regained some composure. Some of it is due to being madly in love. Some of it is my life-long optimistic view of the world (optimist = life is so great, that it can only get worse, right?) Anyway, yes, this is complete silly fluff... sometimes I need to just let go and do silly fluff. I promise to return to my normal brooding dark mysterious self soon. Heehee.

Hi Doug, thank you for stopping in to the Technoid Lounge. Sit back and have a drink (uh, no, not that green one!

Glad you liked the melodies, that's my favorite part of composition, trying to come up with a gooey stick-in-your-head melody.

Time machine.... &mdash 02/07/07 - 12:20:46 PM
and I am being carried to the 80s! This has pure funk pop eurobeat vibe to it that is urging me to get out of my seat... then I am mellowed by that spanish guitar in the middle that you throw in... like a sedative coolness... then it gets right back to the vibrant vibe you got going from the start... whew... love the understated guitar that makes this all the more euro-poppish.... My only pick: too short...extend this... add a few more build up instruments and maybe a touch more bass and get some hot smoking vocals on it to complete it. This has the makings of a hit, dude! [ Reply to This ]
The Mane Man! &mdash 02/07/07 - 03:59:30 PM
Hey Leon, thanks for transporting backward with us! Ian's guitar break is really nice... and yes, I'll redo this and make it a bouncy long romping good time. I've never been good at figuring out where to put vox though, we'll see if singing fits in here anywhere... I sort of like the idea of more flamboyant guitar work sprinkled in... I may be a couple decades late for this to be a "hit", but you never know. I hear that bell bottoms and platform shoes are coming back into style again :-)

this is a very cool vibe you have here. Makes me want to get up and dance. I personally would like more of Ian's guitar, it works so well, I wanted to hear more of it. The tune could use a bit more bass too, I think. And the ending...I dunno, it sounds...well, too cute for my blood. But that's just me probably. I know it sounds like I'm making a lot of suggestions here but they're all minor. I really enjoyed listening to this. Can't wait to see the finished video. [ Reply to This ]
Poifect! &mdash 02/07/07 - 08:56:38 PM
J2, Brute? You know, this is EXACTLY the kind of constructive critique I love, thank you! I am carefully cataloging all the suggestions, and definitely appreciate you listening and taking time to comment on what you like/don't like! The ending was a bit rushed and cutesy, I agree. Will fix that. More bass, I turned up the bass a little more from the original, but will add more "ground bass" powder, check! Longer... check. More guitar, check! OK, I think I have a lot to work on now, but its good stuff! The video will likely have this shorter version, since I've already laid out the storyboard and started calculating what goes where. But I may work on the ending and upping the bass before releasing the video. Then after the video, I will revamp this into a monster alien abduction dance number. :-) Thank you again for your thoughts, they are appreciated and very helpful!

Technoid game &mdash 02/09/07 - 12:09:26 PM
Hmm... maybe you are correct. Especially with the square-wave lead synthesizer sound, and the baroque arpeggios, this does sound very arcade-game-like (after all, the song "Popcorn" got used in Pengo and other computer games, I learned.) So I will change its Genre, thanks! Also glad to give you a softer river of sound to float in for a bit, or for at least 8 bits... thank you for stopping in to listen. I am working madly on the video, hopefully a couple more weeks and it will be all the rage on Youtube, NOT!

Ed,
Another driving rhythm from your pen. Your music always has such vitality to it and that's what makes it engaging. I guess you use a lot of drum loops, huh? I wonder what would happen if you turned them off and just went for it on your own %u2014 kind of a commando run at it! You've certainly got the drive down and I'd love to hear you move to "more territory." Sure is always fun to listen to your work.

Developing territory &mdash 02/11/07 - 10:21:39 AM
Hi Paul, Yes, this piece started out as lots of drum loops, which is not my thing, but it was an experiment in new territory. Glad you like the melodic hook, and yes yes yes... I really need to study and practice more music theory, so I can break out of my rut of just playing an ABAB tune, and move on to development sections! I am only this year starting to learn more about that and will be trying it. I hope you'll see me succeed in creating more variety and interest in the middle of my pieces finally, as I completely agree with you, they lack that.

Bouncy and fun &mdash 02/13/07 - 01:49:56 PM
As the genre goes, it's not my bag (baby) but I can definitely appreciate the craftsmanship that went into this one. The piece was already pretty well put together, and, unlike others, I like the appearance of the guitar in the middle. Opinions may be like you-know-whats, but here's mine anyway: instead of adding guitar at the front and back, I say keep the introduction right where it is, just bring it back again at the end for a proper send-off and some even higher-flying intertwining of old-school and new-school. Then again, I think it's pretty happening as it is. The rough draft video is weirdly (e before i) entrancing, too ... between Bonka's classic videos and this, will MacJams need a video link thingie soon?
Great work, guys. Especially excellent job by eanbardsley, for hearing something most others wouldn't! [ Reply to This ]

Hi Mike, I always wish to hear your take on things... and I appreciate you listening and commenting, even if it isn't your style of music (I often have a tough time in that regard too.) So, a vote for more guitar intertwining at the end, that sounds good. Glad you checked out my unusual (avoids I/E controversy) eye-candy video too. Now, stop goofing off on the computer and pay attention to that great family of yours! :-)

Hi Jack, thank you for sailing by and listening in. I am so happy Ian picked up on the Spanish vibe, then played some for me here, this is much more fun with his guitar work in it!
ttfn,

Catchy! &mdash 02/14/07 - 05:30:43 PM
Catchy little number, Eduard. You're right, it's very much like a computer game at the beginning of the track. I can imagine the little man jumping over the crocodiles and getting a bonus for stomping on their heads! That drum kit is sooooooo early '80s!! What a laugh.
Somehow that Spanish guitar works in there. I don't know how - it's a strange mix - but it sounds good!
Nice changes to keep you interested. Great ending too; finishes the track off very nicely.
Some of the "piano" chords sound a little off-key to me. I wonder if the 5ths, 7ths or 9ths you've used sometimes don't match up to the melody or the bass? I've had about 6 listens but can't work it out. Maybe my ears are just tired!
Great to hear something so retro. Makes me wanna try something similar. Kudos!! [ Reply to This ]
