Happiness and success won't be handed to you on a plate. It's something you have to work for, something to be extracted from life. The power is and always was in your hands to shape your future.
For this piece I continued my effort to blend harsh and soft sounds. With heavenly choir, flute and melancholy piano on one side. And sharp arp square bass, square synths and crisp drums on the other. Balancing between light and dark moods. As always I like to have a blend of acoustic and synthetic instruments.
Working in the key of C double harmonic, a scale with an eastern or Egyptian feel. Not a commonly used scale, however Dick Dale's surf instrumental "Misirlou" is in a double harmonic scale. This scale doesn't work well with chords as there are very few that aren't dissonant, making composing a challenge I really like the sad mysterious feel of this scale having used it more then once.
