An irreverent impression of central European folk music - a bit outrageous, noisy, and multi-tempo'd.

A (con)fusion of influences - rocky stuff one day, some folky/acoustic tunes the next, and maybe some electronic ambience the day after that....
Welcome to Hilbert Space! Actually it's my space, I just borrowed the name from David Hilbert, a maths giant around the early 1900's; he formulated the concept of what became known as Hilbert Space, which basically extends Euclidean geometric concepts of our standard 3-dimensional reality into any number of dimensions. The elements of an abstract Hilbert space are typically sequences of complex numbers or functions; I really like multilayered sequencing, so some of these songs are my distorted equivalent of an n-dimensional Hilbert Space: lots of complex sequences going in all kinds of sonic dimensions! This small niche in cyberspace that you've stumbled upon is just another person's journey among the untold millions of us who like to dabble in the musical arts, and I'm thankful to all who have created the incredible technologies that allows us to effortlessly share our audio musings with others, rather than being discarded like "tears in rain" as Roy Batty lamented. Anyway, cheers to Hilbert, and may we all look a bit further outside our own space.

Story behind the song
I'm fairly sure it was the marvelous Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 (Liszt) which was the main influence in coming up with this; my first all-MIDI multi-track creation (1995), using the Ensoniq ESQ1 synth. As it was all recorded in MIDI, I recently took the liberty of re-creating the song using VST instruments to get a better sound, as the ESQ1 sounds are not very authentic :) Trying to program a drum track into the Roland TR707 for the patterns I had in mind was just too hard with all the stops and tempo changes, so what you hear are real-time finger-bashing on the 707 pads - oh for a real drummer!
