"Wavy"
Festival music sourcing a variety of festivals from EDM, fiddle/bluegrass, Gamelan, Jazz to Jam Band extended jam ...
One Media® humbly offers a jam of a tune for a Steemit Music League #beatbattle season two, round ten (S2:R10) entry in a Festival Music theme...
So the composer first picked-up and ran with the jam band with the intention from the outset to have it built around the electronica beating, and thus built on both a jam band and an EDM crossover, then, in walks the acoustic violin as if someone said invited a fiddle to a bluegrass festival, then Gamelan comes into the listener's consciousness as if invited to a Gamelan festival ...
Recorded May 17, 2018, Wavy was recorded 'live style' in the studio, that is, all tracks were taken first take, to give the sensation of all these festival musicians showing up and jamming out. The producer was at first tempted to release the tune in that spirit of raw liveness and live rawness, but then decided to do a bit of editing and some envelope shaping. Note however, the violin track was not compressed and therefore it is recommended to listen to this recording loud to fully appreciate the extent of the dynamic range of the violin.
The tune opens up with electronica followed by a bass line vamp typical of extended jam style live tunes, countless live extended jams live and rely on a steady swinging catchy hook, here done with a deep, square bass to lay the foundation of the tune firmly on the electronica side of traditional jam band. Further, vibraphone and marimba were added to give the tune a touch of Latin Jazz along with orchestral percussion and Gamelan an overall exotic world percussive array to color the tune.
Music Visualization was absolutely necessary for a Festival Music entry, so many festivals leave one seeing all sorts of visuals...
What's a festival without visuals?! One Media® overlay the -- 3D orthogonal and circular fractal "Warped Mandala" visuals onto the musical visualization stream, an 'absolute must' for a Festival Music entry, and that's why One Media® went all out and made it into a full music video from the beginning ...
Happy listening!
