To those of you who have paid attention to my releases as of late you may have noticed some common elements in the "non-trance" songs mainly a characteristic of "swirling" endless sounds, and strong arpeggios (not the simple take a chord apart with a plug in type, but the sequence each note by hand that tend to have "non-standard" chords.) Well one of the reasons I have spent so much of the last few years "studying" trance specifically--and those who know Wintermute trance know it is not the "typical" trance that harkens back to those some of

Title: Die Walküre, or 4/4 fun with Wagner
Category: Works in Progress

You ever wonder why there has not been a trance song set to any part of Richard Wagner's imfamous: "Die Walküre"? After all Walkürenritt (Ride of the Valkyries) has to be one of better known/main stream pieces in "Classical" music. If for nothing else because it was immortalized in film by Copola's Apocalypse Now and Progressive Trance with it "oompa" 4/4 kick and bass and galloping gates is jjust begging for Wagner not to mention the endless arpeggios and grand chord progression...but here is the catch, Wagner composed a lot of stuff in 9/8 time. All of you mus

Listening To: Yet to be released "Trance" version of the Tree of Life

Even though $yn329y is written in "leet speak" it is not a reflect of my Name-sake or the cyber punks that also enjoy William Gibson. No it goes back to the definition of Synergy:
Synergy (from the Greek synergos, s??e???? meaning working together, circa 1660) refers to the phenomenon in which two or more discrete influences or agents acting together create an effect greater than that predicted by knowing only the separate effects of the individual agents. It is originally a scientific term. Often (but not always, see Toxicologic synergy, below) the prediction is the sum of

Wow, what a year for Wintermute, very happy with the response.. thank you all who have listened and downloaded. It was interesting that 2007 nearly doubled 2006 yet the disturbution overall was better for 2007 than 2006 ( 2006 biggest song was at just over 2400+ down loads and streams while 2007 was just under 900 ) I would rather see more songs listened too than just one, so that made me happy :) here is 2006 for comparison:

Well thank you all again, and here is to a even bet

Electronicus Arcana Majoris
Is what "Digital Kingdoms" was/is I have always been fascinated by the Tarot and the story of the cards is what a lot of what DK was supposed to be about, worlds within worlds and imagination. The album will consist of 22 (yes 22 average song time will be under 4 mins ) songs one for each of the 22 Major Arcana cards from the Tarot. "one eyed jacks", suicidal kings", the ace of spades, all of the cards we know from poker, etc all have roots and origins in the Tarot cards. Each card also has common depictions and renderings
