about

COMPOSED AND PLAYED BY DS 2015-2017.

THE BEST OF 2 WORLDS is a work of variations, seeking to explore the potential of three main motifs. It also has three main parts (although flowing continuously) so, perhaps, '3' should have appeared in its title.

However, I used '3' for 3 WORLDS COLLIDE - the sister track to BO2W - born out of the same recording sessions. If you hear both tracks, you may hear how they share the same DNA (in particular, the synth-horn fanfare).

I like to think of 'BEST OF 2 WORLDS' as a Concerto for (say) 12 musicians: four keyboardists, two guitarists, a bassist & drummer + four multi-instrumentalists playing all kinds of various odd ethnic instruments. Music to be performed on stage (although having some ambient and sequenced elements).

With this vision in mind, I tried to focus on archieving a certain live feeling; handplaying most of it, approximating what a performance on stage could sound like. Interactions between instruments, seeking a certain drive rather than perfect takes...

Would love to handpick fellow musicians from SC for such a concert! :)

The track: you might hear several spots, an unpolished feel at places, some slighty varying tempo due to handplaying, and some strange details; some of it due to lost masterfiles in a laptop chrash 2016, but overall I am happy anyway with the results. I hope my strong enthusiasm for the material should be detectable!

Sense how fun I had when exploring those three motifs scattered around everywhere, in various shapes! Carried away in late & dark recording sessions, trying to create ordered chaos, progression of the themes, a symphony of sounds!

BEST OF 2 WORLDS: the 1st movement opens slowly, and introduces the three motifs, before erupting in some more intensive passages; then, the 2nd movement is more of a low-key adagio; finally, the intensive 3rd section re-visits themes from the opening and returns home.

My sincere thanks for any plays/comments/likes - but more than anything else, my strong appreciation for you to just listening to it! Few will stay for the full 15 minutes, but, if so, hopefully detect all the main-motif mutations along the trip! (Which is what drives me to write so long pieces in the first place: to explore what the core idea can be used for...).

DavidSvensson Sweden

Have played guitar for 25+ years, but I am probably a slightly odd type of guitarist...

Not particularily interested in the guitar genre, not too keen on listening to long solos, etc. I don't enjoy playing for people ... a party-killer, in short.

However, leave me alone with this wonderful tool, and I will start experimenting with it, searching for something to develop. ... more
