Question: What’s in common with:
– Quadriceptal rupturation illuminado
– The Bestemnia
– Ambiplural regeneration of descendants of the damned
???
Answer: They’re all fine metal song titles.
ARCHAIC REASONS FOR CADAVEROUS PETULENCE is also a decent one.
Plus the tune is some good balance for the next weeks piece…
1) I sometimes hide little easter eggs in my compositions. You know, references to other pieces, or my past work. Mainly I do it to amuse myself, ‘cos you gotta make the happiness out of what you’ve got!
2) In FRAGMENTS OF MEMORIES ALMOST FORGOTTEN, there’s actually two separate eEggs. The first one can be heard in 0.35 and the second one in the very end. Two points for you if you recognize them both.
3) What colour my rubber boots were in when I was 5? What was the brand of her bubble gum? Will I ever again smell that one particular odor from the spring of 1993?
I think I’ve mentioned this before… Tunes seem quite often to come out in pairs. I don’t know how common this is, or is this just my personal thing… Nor do I really care. It’s only positive that musical stuff flows.
RA BATT is the part one of mixing something classical – in this case the menacing double basses – with modern delivery.
Part deux coming soonish to a kongano near you.
Now, hip hop heavy metal of today, engage!
Sooo, it says in CURTSEY FOR A FOOL‘s description: “Everything’s gonna be alright kinda feel.”
I wrote those words spontaneously right after I finished the tune. Now, a little later on, I think those words captured the mood of the piece spot on.
I bet that you could name at least a few other tunes that emanate “everything’s gonna be alright”? Lyrics that mention the words or any (other) Bob Marley song doesn’t count.
How about, can you name a song that has “driving really fast”-kind of a feel?
How about a song that has “The Ultimate Power”?
How about 3, can you name a song that says: “all the wealth I’ve piled up with my music, has had a damaging effect on my skills as a composer and a lyricist”.
As usually, I had to take this thought to a higher level:
Imagine a tune that says without any words: “Hands up, this is a robbery”, or “Take me to your leader”.
What about: “One evening I saw a cloud resembling a capricorn with a demons head”.
Hmm.
In the beginning, I had plans to make two separate tunes, along the lines of:
1) Classy crime/murder/mystery theme music
2) Minimalistic melody played by music box, represented in a scary context
WITCH HUNTERS DREAM is a combination of those ideas. Two drastically different melodies weaving together.
I think it came out very nicely. Sometimes two melodies crossing in the night are worth a thousand frames.
Merry Samhain, folks!
Today – my friends – the toddlerism of a website is officially over. Kongano.com is three earth years old. Can you believe it, ‘cos I sure can!
Ok, kongano may still be sulky when it’s finger nails are being cut or when it’s blood sugar gets dangerously low, but hey! It’s all in the name of growing up.
TRICYCLE is something to celebrate this glorious day, my friends!
(I was gonna call it “Money or tricycle”, but that would’ve been so funny, it might be considered illegal.)
The tune’s all about the good old “cascading echo”-guitar trick. Mr. Google is your friend.
To all my friends!
Stupid google. Making folks lose their train of thought since 1842. Just google “can people”, and let the autocomplete make you wonder the mysteries of the human mind.
Now to get back to the actual post. Ahem:
Can people who are completely incapable of dancing write dance music?
Well, I just did. There you go: WRITTEN ALL OVER IT.
And then I had to see Elaine’s dance in “Seinfeld”. And maybe another clip. And another. Hmm, what’s Julia Louis-Dreyfus up to these days? How about Jason Alexander? Oh look, cats. When did the Battle of Nuremberg take place?
Stupid google.
I felt like playing some guitar and I did!
So, I riffed a couple of riffs in a riffin way and then doubled them and then doubled the doubles.
That’s how you make your rock go yeah!
Looks so and will to kill seemed like a too negative way to end the day, so I went with LOOKS SO AND WILL TO LIVE.
Yeah.
Personal note (date unknown, maybe last springish?), filed under Name Ideas:
“Foods.”

“I should start naming tunes after food.”
Make a note and you shall remember:
Then we return to the land of howling winds and dust storms. The land where the mighty engines roam. The land where the only law is the law of gravity.
DEMON OF OIL AND LEATHER is all about madmaxesque aesthetics. Naturally that style is presented in the 80’s kind of way. There’s no other way.
By the way, when I say “madmaxesque”, I refer to Mad Max 2.
You shall have no other Mad Maxes before me.
