Symphony #1 Completed

Strongly emotive full-scale symphonic work in 5 movements, 61 mins.:

Movt. 2: Scherzando - Presto agitato con fuoco
Movt. 3: Andante cantibile - Allegro
Movt. 4: Scherzo
Movt 5: Adagio grandioso - Andante luttoso - Allegro con brio

The symphony is on a grand scale, more than leaning toward the heroic, featuring enlarged percussion and brass sections [...]

New Track: “Sudden Archipelagos” For String Sextet

Zippy piece for string sextet - two violins, two violas, cello, and double bass.

I’m Included In A(mbient) - 100, An Ambient Modular Synth Set Mixed By Dimitri Pike

in Uncategorized by admin on October 12th, 2003

dimitri_pike_compilationQuoting Dimitri:

“Story :

Doepfer Muzik Elektronik is a German manufacturer of Analog & MIDI equipment that most of you certainly know since they collaborated with mythic group Kraftwerk on the realisation of various instruments including famous MIDI/analog sequencer Maq 16/3.

They also provides today’s musicians with a complete analog modular system called A-100 available in various basic kits but that you can extend near the infinity with various modules of their catalogue.

A-100 is an exceptional machine. Here at Wildtek Concept, if there is only one dream we still have, it’s definitely to built our own A-100 system. Waiting for this moment, I was looking through Internet for some samples of the A-100 and discovered much more than samples…

I discovered few very great musicians working with this system and, as a DJ, I decided to record a digital mix of all this great tracks to firstly show respect to the artists behind them but also to Doepfer who makes my nights plenty of dreams with their creations.

I hope you will enjoy this 40 minutes of sound experimentation and who know ? Maybe you will be touched by this incredible way to make sounds with an irresistible envy to construct your own synthesizer sounding as you decided it to sound…

Music by : Efofex, Unyo303, Charles Graef, …

Enjoy !

New Track: “Vogelscheiss 7″

in Electronic, Music by admin on March 10th, 2001

Doepfer. Melody sound gets some of its edge via Doepfer Frequency Shifter. Chords are A-111 sawtooth sampled on E-mu sampler and played polyphonically with sine and square LFO filtering inside the E-mu. Drums are mix of ReBirth and live playing of 808 samples on Roland SPD-20 pads. A friend compared this with aerial views of an army moving into position in the desert.   Possibly in a dessert.
