Description:
This is a tango I wrote for a movie shot in Budapest. The violin is played by Entcho Todorov. I play all other instruments. The mute trumpet is on an M1. I added words to the last verse, something I always wanted to do.
Encho also plays violin on this track:

Lyrics:
Dance, knowing each step to take.
We join in the dance,
where there is no choice to make.
In practiced patterns thus of hate and lust
we play out all our gestured fates.
Why can't we swirl with feet unclad and fleet
and revel in the rhythms sweet
that play inside?
Hardware:
G4; Tobin on piano (MIDI), accordian; etc. Entcho Todorov on violin.
Software:
GR; DP 4.

A nicely played song. Simple, but good enough to listen to
a few more times.---

I like it a lot, a small but though.... not really sure of the
vocals and the M1 muted trumpet is a bit naff. [ Reply to This ]

Ok, this is pretty cool. Again, Garageband proves that the
most interesting music is right here. Usually vocals are
best left undone, but this is alright.---akvavit [ Reply to This ]

I like it but... &mdash 03/09/04 - 03:45:06 AM
man as an ex trumpet player (well lapsed trumpet player) I
really cringed at the synth trumpet... - may be that's just
me though... vocals were a little wooden sounding (flat
tonality and lacking in dynamic delivery) and could have
done with a touch more reverb or being recorded in a
more live room - but everything else is real nice an
emotive and the bass line is pure class
so really it's 2 thumbs up from me---"Only he who attempts the absurd is capable of achieving the impossible."

I like it but... &mdash 02/28/05 - 08:48:05 AM
man, I'd love to have you play to overdub the synth trumpet. The song was
recorded in my living room with plaster walls, and I am always afraid to
overdo the reverb thing to pretend the room is something more. Thanks for
your careful listen. [ Reply to This ]
Violin &mdash 03/11/04 - 07:26:41 AM
The violin is excellent, the rest is pretty bad. Kinda like a bottle of 1990 Chateau La Tour and an old can of rancid sardines. Sorry, but this one shouldn't have been submitted, that is, unless, this was submiited as a joke. [ Reply to This ]

musikman, where are you coming from? i think Tango has a very sexy thing going on. the violin is amazing, but i like the accordian and piano too, and the way the thing builds and then gives way to the vocals (which are a bit loud and dull compared to the violin, but, hey). i wish more people submitted music, real compositions, like this, instead of a string of loops. if this is a "joke", i hope more people keep tickling my funny bone.

Musikman, your a fuc*ing Dumba** to call this a horrible piece, yes it could
have little improvements, but seriously I think it is great. It has a lot of
emotion in it. So fuc* off as*hole. [ Reply to This ]

i really enjoy the dramtic opening and the violin is
simple but does its job with great carizma
i love the biuld in the middle and i think the overall
effect is amazing [ Reply to This ]

You are absolutely crazy! You have no idea what real
music sounds like if you did not like this song! Go
out and listen to some real music, and then maybe
you will be able to appreciate this wonderful piece of
music! It was absolutely inspirational and totally
unique! It is the best I have heard on macjams! [ Reply to This ]
Muskiman &mdash 03/15/04 - 09:50:30 AM
Sorry Keke Whoo, but with being rude to Tobin Mueller, I tend to agree with Musikman, which is I don't like the song either. Musikman could have been a little more diplomatic with his/hers criticism though. [ Reply to This ]

It has obvious influences from Astor Piazzolla, like a lot of
tangos made for movies.

Yes, Astor was my main influence on this piece. Nice catch! He is the master
of this style, and when a Spanish filmmaker asked me to write tangos for his
score, a style of music I had never written before, I went straight to him to
learn the craft. [ Reply to This ]
My absolute favorite &mdash 05/03/04 - 08:18:24 PM
I was engaged to a Hungarian Hotelier for awhile, and this
brought back memories of my time spent in the Magyar
community. Wonderful! [ Reply to This ]
My absolute favorite &mdash 02/28/05 - 08:57:52 AM
It is so great to meld backgrounds, shape sounds using the ear and heart of
different regions. Life is wonderful. [ Reply to This ]
Very nice &mdash 05/17/04 - 11:33:18 AM
Good song &mdash 07/14/04 - 08:55:40 PM
A good song; the violin is superb! The vocals are a bit weaker -- but only because of the comparison with the wonderful violin. Thank you for sharing it. [ Reply to This ]
Good song &mdash 02/28/05 - 08:55:48 AM
Don't compare me to Encho's great sound and playing! Nothing can stand up
to that. Thanks for your comments. Encho not only plays great, he adds
ethnic ornamentations and passion to his playing that bring the notes to life. [ Reply to This ]
nice picture with the music &mdash 02/27/05 - 08:56:34 AM
The pictures you have are so, so sweet.
Love that violin and how it jells with the rest of the music.
Encho - bravo
Very nice tune indeed [ Reply to This ]
Great! &mdash 04/21/05 - 05:46:47 AM
Lovely tune. &mdash 04/21/05 - 08:42:31 PM
I agree, very reminiscent of Astor Piazzolla (sp?). I have to admit that I am not crazy about the vocals -- they add a little too much cheese -- but I tend to prefer instrumentals anyway. The violin is GORGEOUS. Makes me want to start up those tango lessons again. [ Reply to This ]

Oh My... &mdash 02/18/07 - 01:37:08 AM
Love the strong intro, the violin cries, good clear piano, vocals nice and clear, a good strong voice, and a sudden ending or maybe I wanted more. A beautiful and romantic tango!
Thank You for sharing! :) [ Reply to This ]
