Broken Magic:
When I was living in Birmingham, UK, for many years, one of my flatmates got me playing a card game called "Magic The Gathering". He used to play the game all the time on his Xbox as I was walking through the living room to get to the kitchen. So I thought I'd play him at it once he taught me the rules. Then I downloaded the game on to my old laptop at the time and wanted to beat him (of course, I'm competitive haha) but in one of the games, there was an trippy kinda melody I remember hearing so I wanted to make my version of it.
Cracked open the music software and it didn't feel natural to do a Drum & Bass version so I went for a "Drumstep" track (effectively half the speed of Drum & Bass) and decided to call it "Broken Magic" seeing as the bell melody is so far away from the original music concept, you might call it broken haha.
The artwork is from a music producer (e-un).
Thanks very much to Audio Animals for mastering this and bringing the party feeling to it’s maximum potential!
This is also out as part of the Foundations EP are the first 6 tracks I uploaded after getting them professionally mastered by the Audio Animals and set the foundations for my future music adventures. Each one of course has it’s own story but when put together, on the whole, the Foundations EP shares random tales of getting through to finish the PhD, overcoming physical challenges and then the party time of travelling in celebration! Here is a brief look at what tracks feature on this EP:
Broken Magic – Based on a game I used to play on the Xbox with my house mate (i.e. procrastinating)
I Got Something To Say – I had to keep moving house every year and felt like I couldn’t speak as everything was going a million miles per hour.
3 Peaks – A celebration about completing the UK 3 Peaks Challenge 6 months before finishing my PhD
End of the Tunnel – THE track I made celebrating the end of the PhD in July 2014 – Party time!!
Hasten To Forget – Made when I came back from travelling to take me to a place of tranquillity and just forget about any stresses
I’ll Always Be Around – I made this for a girl I met travelling in that same trip but things didn’t quite work out (they never do) but it concludes the EP nicely!
