Muxtape and Wendi

March 27, 2008

I heard about muxtape.com yesterday; digital replication of the old mix tape concept – sounds totally weird and anachronistic – but it actually works. The interface is really clean and simple – basic – and you get it. There are hundreds / thousand of muxtapes up there – I reckoned I’d give Justin, the site [...]

1218

March 27, 2008

1218 is one of the older Music2Work2 sessions, having been composed in 2003. It is a typical Music2Work2 session lasting about 22 minutes. It combines two voices, piano and strings. 1218 seems to me to be a piece about happiness and hope. The overall tempo of the session is upbeat, happy. At several points during [...]

Regardless of how you classify their music, there [...]

Music2Work2‘s MySpace friend, The Deep C, is apparently a band of one member, Michael Dees, although it sounds like an orchestra of many. The music of The Deep C is classified as Classical/Ambient/Other. Unfortunately, there is no other information available about this artist other than that he is from Germany. There are six sample songs [...]

Jesu, Joy Of Man’s Desiring

If you like music, (and I’m guessing that if you’re reading this – you have a passing interest in it,)  you might be familiar with Johann Sebastian Bach’s  “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring.”  If you’re not, – listen to it here – takes about 2 minutes, you’ll get the idea. To me, it’s one of [...]
