"And for thy name, which is no part of thee, Take all myself."

Retain that dear perfection which he owes Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name;;

Planet Earth by Wintermut3

Belonging to a man. O, be some other name! What’s in a name? That which we call a rose

By any other name would smell as sweet; So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call’d,

A childhood favorite which followed me into adulthood--"Rollerball" forever changed me... and that was one of many... This song is my musical expression of what he was to me, its many textures are meant to reflect his complexity. You will be missed...

What’s Montague? It is nor hand, nor foot, Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part

’Tis but thy name that is my enemy; Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.

The Sun King Reprisal( for Piano, Bass and Drums } by Wintermut3

An example of what I would say is true "Post Electronica". This NIs "Massive" is brought to bear in the "bridges" ranging over 3 to 4 different Channel groups

Most complex machines have an ignition sequence, "Wintermute is a complex machine, it needed... Ignition,,,

'Deep Ocean' was the virtual Modo Drum (Jazz Kit) I created for my revisit to "Ocean Side". That kit featured very heavy damping on the heads and a very strong dark sound and was a very large kit (max of what Modo drum allowed) This track further explores that Jazz kit, and what it brings to the Wintermut3 over catalog and sound...

I was never happy with the original, it didn't fit the style of the rest of the album, was mixed badly, etc--I am not taking it down, just off the album. So a few days back I was able to restore the original composition from an old drive and decided to give the song another "go". This track is much more what I wanted, but it is still lacking in some ways, or maybe I am just tired of working on it,...

A revisit of a song from a few years back, this time with the fusion of Trip-Hop and Jazz

Somewhere just beyond reality lies the elementals light and shadow... after all what is "real" to most is what they can see or feel.. Light and shadow interact to make that vision or even perception of vision--Light and Shadow "resonant" on both a visual spectrum and an emotional one... Light 'emboldens' us and 'Shadow' makes us cautionary We fear darkness and Shadow is the anteroom of that realm....

I mostly made this to explore my new Modo Drum kit "Jazzy Drums" which is a Mahogany wood based Jazz kit and the new Modo Bass 2, but as many of my songs do, this one took on life of its own (most likely due to the overall emotional impact on me of the recent and horrible Uvalde Texas massacre ). The horns are programmed by me--as is everything else as per usual--from my i k multimedia milhavious...

The Turn is present in many things: Jokes, Cards, etc. It is that point where something expected turns into to something different than expected and you laugh at a punchline, or win or lose at Texas Hold'em, etc. Life has The Turn too and apparently so does music ;) This is built around a 3 part progression that doesn't fully "mature" until... "The Turn" in that progression...lets call it a study...

The Pond by Wintermut3

A Harsh shape cuts the night sky as he watches fires burn, the silhouette of a crown cuts against the horizon...A kingdom burning, is it his, or his craft... you decide.... War King

Sometimes songs beget songs, this track became "The Gun Fighter"

Years by Wintermut3

Regardless of his existence, he lives in each and every Ukrainian. I pulled upon various Folk and Patriotic Folk Ukrainian songs for the Ghosts riffs and themes. The opening repeating "alert"-like theme is the Russian Su-30s which are then chased down by the "Ghost" May he live in all of us...

Began as an experiment of mixing metal elements with Vocoding. Using not just a single Power chorded Distorted guitar as the Carrier in the vocode but the main guitar bus so that the carrier frequency was modified and shaped over time by all the electric guitars

Vocoding with Power Metal guitars rounds this idea out--I will leave both versions of this track up, as they are very different songs despite the shared riffs

In nuclear engineering, a critical mass is the smallest amount of fissile material needed for a sustained nuclear chain reaction. This track seeks to creation a "Metal" Critical Mass by using a minimum "Metal" elements--power chorded guitars, Metal Drums, Metal Bass....
