A simple ethnic-flavored melody with some lingering tinkerings...

Artist picture
2600Hz makes electronic grooves and ambient experiments. No telephone companies are hijacked during the making of these tracks.
Someone once told me, "Music is meant to go somewhere, not to just be." What a sad, lost soul. This kind of music is all about just being. Initially, 2600 Hz set out to produce ambient music. This is seen in the song Space Ages. But when ideas hit the recorder, the stuff that comes out are more of the chilled groove sort. Perhaps this diversity will continue to show through as I progress as a musician.

Story behind the song
My dad bought one of us kids a little Casio keyboard for Christmas when I was about ten years old, back in around 1985. I think it was destined for one of my sisters but since I caught eye of it before it was wrapped he let me have it. It had a few drum beats and about five cheesy instruments, and I really only had a couple tunes that I played ..... over and over again, driving my family insane. The melody at the beginning and end of this track was one of them. I wasn't sure where I got the melody from; it sounded familiar, perhaps it's a Chinese song from somewhere, I didn't know. I figured it must be Chinese or something. Meh, I'll just call it Chinese. Now, at the age of 31 (almost to become 32, happy birthday to me!), I thought it would be prudent for me to give this simple, short melody a track for my little collection of "somewhat more professionally tooled" songs. The middle bit is what it sounds like ... filler. I'm not particularly happy with it. But the melody at the beginning and end is too short, and I couldn't think of something else to go with it. Almost all notes are played across the black keys of the keyboard. With the right MIDI/VSTi instrument patch, these keys can produce some really beautiful and rich melodies and improvisations. Almost everything you hear is a first take recording. Image source: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jennaphoenix/306335468/
