Waltz Definitely (La Boite A Musique) disquiet 0247 This one was so obvious to me, the illustration reminds me of a silly game we do with my kids, (game that they still love really) where I paint faces on our fingertips with a Sharpie, weird faces, happy faces, angry, surprised faces, etc) and we play roles and fake stories with our finger-tip-marionettes. That’s the illustration alright, no doubt for me. Waltz maybe? The idea was to perform a silly waltz with this mechanical toy piano I bought for my kids (but ended up squatted in my studio and finding its way to some major productions, little bastard!) The piano is the one on the photo I took for this post. Who can resist a red piano? So I went for a bunch of tracks I recorded with that piano previously and found that 90% where actually waltzes. I choose this one, so I am cheating (am I?) cause this is an existing recording, but couldn’t resist. Sorry. The music it’s a proper composer’s composition, with chords, melodies, and all that old school stuff I like. Structure is A (major)-A (major)-A (major)-B (Major/Minor) - A (major) But it is performed as if it was a Music Box. Now: trying to reproduce the issues, pranks and casualties you find in music boxes with an actual performance was a threat! And a whole lot of fun honestly. Those ridiculous tempo shifts and weird phrasing, took me hours lol. One toy piano, a microphone and a drunken tempo, this is the antidote for any click based techno music overdose. Hope you dig it.
