Those Tempo Modulations Get Me…

I recently discovered Tim Exile through Warp Records YouTube Channel, and I must say that any song that integrates a clever tempo modulation seems to catch my attention. I mean, really catches my attention – maybe it’s the music nerd in me? I’m not sure, but in any case, I’ve been listening to Family Galaxy by Tim Exile over and over – I’m not even sure if there’s much I like other than the tempo modulations… In any case, thought I’d share.

Here it is: Tim Exile “Family Galaxy”

Silent Night Remix 2008

Just for the holidays, here’s a free mp3: Stille Nacht! Heilige Nacht! Remix 2008 (3.2mb mp3 file)

It is more closely based on the original melody by Franz Xaver Gruber, composed in 1818 and based on the text written by Rev. Joseph Mohr in 1816. Of course, this version is considerably more modern in arrangement and sound (more of a sound sculpture imitating the melodies). Enjoy!

I need to figure out what I’m going to do about the abandoned Sonic Sculptures 2008
