About the tracks
Well, the main focus on this EP has been baselines. And kind of just build around them, few melodies that complete each other and fill each others gaps, supporting each other in the whole.
What do you think? Did I nail it? I think I did!
And YES! Another fake voice track, last song. Scary and cool at the same time, in my humble opinion.
Enjoy!

This is an album in two parts. Second part i Solar System Orbital. Ten songs, let’s see if you can figure out the connection? 😉
Oh, yeah, right. I need to mention. I’ve set a limitation on myself. For this part of Solar System – remix of the ‘original’ song, reuse some parts of the song but add, change and rewrite, without loosing the soul of the song.
For the about of this album, please see the first part – Solar System.

This is an album in two parts. First part is Solar System. Ten songs, let’s see if you can figure out the connection? 😉
Oh, yeah, right. I need to mention. I’ve set a limitation on myself. For this part of Solar System – no drums allowed! 🙂 Awesome! Challenging! Let’s go!
And as usual, an about section.
Sun – center of our Solar System, natural starting point (for me at least). I figure this is a still place, but intense. Life giving and devastation at the same time. Mysterious.
Mercury – with a sun orbit of almost 88 days, the song is composed in 88 BPM. Intense, yet slow.
Venus – With an orbit of 224 earth-days, I figured the tempo should be reflecting that, but 224 BPM is far to fast for my taste, so I settled for half, 112 BPM. BUT – oh, this time I love that there is a but! – the duration of the song could be 2:24! 🙂 Another fun fact about Venus is that one day is longer than a year, so I figured that the Venus song would have very little variation, yet over flooded with the energy from the sun. Yeah, almost forgot, it spins in the “other direction” compared to the other planets, so I wanted something in this a little “off”… which the arpeggiated synth represents…
Earth – We thing (my opinion) that we are the foundation of everything. Yet (again my opinion) we seem to follow our own footsteps and be our own echo, sometimes even stronger than the original signal. We could be so much more. But we are where we are, as we are.
Mars – A red, seemingly dead planet, spinning around its own axial tilt. Periodically. Repeating. Same thing over and over. Yup. That’s it.
Jupiter – next up, the giant! Big planet requires big sounds. Majestic sounds.
Saturn – I imagine Saturn as a peaceful planet, yet a little dissonance here and there.
Uranus – the name, I do not even wanna go there, thus, I say nothing. Then nothing is said.
Neptune – Something is said about Neptune, blue. Mathematical perfection. Or was it prediction? Blue and predictable. Hmm… what could I possibly make out of that? Well, a tune called Neptune.
Pluto and Charon – What about the last planet, Pluto? Well, when I grew up, it was known as the last planet in our solar system. Then, for a period of time, it lost its status as planet. And later, it got reinstated as a planet, but as a dwarf planet. Now, when checking it out, I found some who claims it to be a binary planet along with Charon. Whether this is true or not, I do not know, but it sparked my imagination, so on this album, I keep Pluto and Charon as a binary system, with the center of gravitation (or center in the stereo picture) as the bass. While everything else circulates around the center of gravity. Like the binary planets Pluto and Charon.
Check out the second part of this album.

Single, released by a proud Dad! I got to do a (re)mix of the song Animals, written by my daughter!

Scheduled to be released 8 December 2022.
Songs:
About Life:
Leftovers – Well, there was some leftover drums from the 80’s and a 90’s bass-line, both adopted and adapted Muddhedd-style. Combines with some other leftovers from different places.
Imagination – Well, imagine if the piano was well tuned (it is not!), and imagine if the drums were actual drum sounds. And imagine if the bass-line hadn’t been inspired by the 90’s, and imagine if the melody sound had been an actual melody sound. Imagine what this song could have been. Yet, it still came to Life.
Feelings deep – for 90’s dance music I have. As Yoda might have put it. At least this is how Muddhedd puts it. This is how Muddhedd roll in 2022! Enjoy it as it is!
Erase the past – is not a wish I have. But I guess some people have that wish. For those who do, I hope you find peace in Life.

B-side: I am a teddy bear (hug me)
About the songs:
I really do not have much to say about the songs, except that they are tracks that I come back to, again and again, to enjoy certain details that I suddenly remember and want to revisit.

The Album.
Lonely
This is a flirt with the 90’s in a way. At least the baseline(s). Somethings in life can be constant, but still changing following the flow. Other things are just constant. While some elements come and go, and as the go, they leave space for new elements.
Opus I, II and III
Opus is a song in three parts, where as some elements are reoccurring through out the parts, while others change. Still the same song, but at the same time not.
Nocturne
A challenging experimental concept to make a 4x8Max song. What do you say, did I pull it off?
Game not played
You know when there are some unspoken “rules” that everybody follows, social code that you just have to accept and follow? Well, sorry folks, game not played! I have spoken!
Life itself
Another musical portrait of life itself. This perhaps more a reflection of my own wish to have life constant and predictable. Right element at the right place. Following each expected pattern. Yet still life takes its own course, no matter how much I want it to stay within my comfort zone.
Spending time
Whether we (humans) have created time, made it and measure it, it still passes from our point of view. Whether we are taught it, or if we experience it merely because we are humans, from my perspective the only thing we can do is to choose how to spend time. Choose wisely my friend!
The Artificial Acapella
Oh, joy! This was a real treat to make. For me! All computer generated humanoid voices. Nothing “real” here. Artificial all the way baby! As fake as it gets. Yet. Goosebumps! And as we all know, goosebumps does not lie!
Legendary Offspring
This is a tribute to my legendary offspring. For many reasons. And in many ways. Choosing chords that aren’t supposed to harmonize, D#, G and A. Music theory states that these might not really be compatible. Which is why they are. Which is why they can be, and have been, turned into a song. Thank you, my legendary offspring, for showing me that anything and everything is possible!
Vast space
…is a track where you have a lot of space, let’s say between 20kHz and 20Hz, but for some reason, like in many other areas in life, everything seems crammed into the same space, fighting to get along while occupying the same space… despite the vast space to share…
Eternity can rust
Well, eternity is a very long time, and a lot can (and probably will) happen… I see eternity as a balance and harmony that will endure over time, but in certain moments, there can be an unbalanced dissonance. So in this song, not all harmonies nor sounds are in perfect harmony the entire time, but over all, it is a well kept balance.
Yeah, I know, probably too long title on this release, but it is what it is…
About I know I put the right shoe on because this is the only left
….I’ll update this later… maybe…
Track 1 – I know I put the right shoe on because this is the only left
Track 2 – Nora/Aron – real version
Track 3 – Nora/Aron – fake version
Update: Noop, still does not feel like updating the about-section for this EP. Except maybe that the fake version is created only to be more pleasant to listen to than the real version. You need to figure out why yourself!

About PTFITF
Both songs are created at the same time. One with happy chords, one with sad chord. PTFITF was created first, and basically resaved as a new project that was converted in mood and changed some sounds and temp, but the basic structure is about the same in the two songs. Yet two totally different songs.
BTW. At the end of El Gato – game over! 🙂
