Description:
Elgar, eat your heart out.
For those of you who don't know of Edward Elgar, he was a composer who made a bunch (13, I believe) of variations on one musical theme, one for each of his friends and acquaintances, his wife, and himself.
Fast forward to 2005, when a young man in Toronto begins composing the song that would take over his life...
Yes, with all the variants of Shift I've come up with so far, I am making my own version of the Enigma variations. I'm not even really changing the title much: I'm calling it the Enigmachina variations.
So far, two of the tracks are done. This is the second. Unlike Elgar, I'm not bothering to keep the variants' inspirations a secret, at least from the people themselves. However, I'm not going to put their names here.
This is for one of the users here on MacJams. I've known him for quite a while, and he was one of the first people I knew right away how to compose for when I started thinking about making The Engimachina Variations.
I used to sit out on his front porch after school for hours and just talk about things, especially during the winter. The joke would be that I'm in this big winter jacket and he'd be in a long-sleeved shirt, and I'd be the one cold and he'd be fine. Thus the title of this one.
Might want to bring a jacket to this one. It's extremely chill.

progresses nicely; particularily like the contrast between the (what sounds like bit smashed) bass and the really clean staccato synth hits; nice swirling bass bed, too. [ Reply to This ]

This is really good stuff. I am amazed. I really like this little tune. Its so clean, and it really is "chill". It's really a unique piece that isn't a prisoner of its musical denomination. Wonderful. A great break from intense Drum n Bass. But, in its own way, this is more intense than many Drum n Bass tracks I've heard. That saw riff is really good, goes well with the blipping staccatos. Very nice work. Look forward to your future works. [ Reply to This ]
