> "Glacier Dream"
>
> It all started long ago, during a chat with Razfaz, himself
> creator of very fine and technically brilliant songs (hey,
> respect where respect is due). He uses OSS' echo function
> excessively, playing it as a rhythmic echo that repeats
> every quarternote.
>
> We talked about the problem that, using echo this way, the
> echo of a bassdrum is right "over" the next beat, thus
> killing much of the "kick" of that bassdrum. Back then I
> said that I'd like to try some sort of ambient tune
> (without drums) to play with the beauty of that echo
> function and see how it works out this way.
>
> Some idle afternoon I remembered that chat and started with
> some extremely wacky-sounding 5 or 6 patterns. The fragment
> lay there on my HD, I didn't want to delete it (after that
> shitty work of finding the correct delay value according to
> the 110 bpm), and I couldn't find the motivation to continue
> it, either.
>
> What you are hearing now is, about half a year after the
> first steps, the result of my constant idleness :) - the
> basic patterns and ideas are still there, yet I changed many
> many instruments and re-arranged the whole thing many many
> times. Concerning this part, I believe that I never put more
> work into a damn song than this one.
>
> The rest is rather simple. I used this rhythmic echo to play
> single notes following my "allround" scale Es-Major, and
> these add up to some sort of chords by echoing into the
> following notes. I found that "technique" (uuuhhhm)
> extremely catchy during composing as you'll hear. :)
>
> During composing it was indeed my intent to let some
> harmonic development in the arrangement "unfinished" and
> return to the start of the sequence, as so to keep the
> listener waiting for more to happen. One might say that the
> monster climax the song reaches doesn't fit the arrangement,
> and I partially agree with that, after all it was just a try
> which carried me away, but in the end I was so touched by
> the simplicity and power of that part, and that led me to
> keeping it the way it is now.
>
> I hope you enjoy this song as much as I do now.
