i would like to share with you some thoughts about (my) music, so i will start with the cover of "games without frontiers"
first of all, its name is "the remembering game"...
this is a new remix of my second cover of a pg song ( more on realworldremixed ).
i decided for using only vocal lines and basic harmonies, using a classic string quartet (2 vlns, 1 vla, 1 vcl) and a woodwind quartet (flute, oboe, clarinet and bass clarinet). all of this in an typical "idefix" way!
this time, for a very different remix from the other one "should i be one of you?..." ( realworldremixed ), the idea derived from an "aching nostalgia" feeling i had often listening to the original tune.
this is a very personal, intimate and inner way to feel what our past times can awake from our "secret world". btw, you can consider this one as a "psychological game without frontiers". from this feeling, i choose to downbeat the tempo from 96 to 80 bmp and to dress all that in a chamber music mood.
this is, here and there, also a "hommage" to early 1970's music lovers (maybe you can recognize some direct or not-so-direct quotes; good luck!)

enjoy my tune, but don't forget to listen to the "not one of us" cover from me too! ( realworldremixed )
saluti,
andrea [ aka "idefix" aka "dersklerosenkavalier" ] riderelli.
