Pirates [2016]

All of this is VST work apart from a very low=in-the-mix vocal towards the end. The 'Dance' section starts at around 1:44 and is a repeat phrase of about 4-5 chords with added instrumentation on each repeated phrase...not quite Tubular Bells but the main point in it was to bring in gradual layers. The title is how I imagine the tune to play out; a meeting of pirates. The atmosphere all moody, tense and sinister, until a dance begins starting with one pirate and with each repeating phrase more pirates join in the jollity until they are interrupted and the jovial mood stops abruptly and the main theme repeats and the pirates return to form. A bit silly, but the melody was written with the theme of pirates in mind and it manages to sound almost...piratey! (c) 2016 Matt Hogg
