Song created in Reason Recon (the development testing environment for Reason). All synthesizer sounds comes from the self developed TZ1X, processed through Reason effects.
Frequency Modulation and Phase Modulation have been proven mathematically to be the same thing when it comes to sound synthesis. There is one important difference though; the explanation of Frequency Modulation contains several integrals, while the explanation of Phase Modulation makes perfect sense.
It started as a rolling bass line and a traditional drum pattern. As a placeholder name the song was named Såga ner en tuja (sawing down a thuja), which then was transformed to four less traditional drum patterns. Some of the drums were replaced and the original bass line was removed.
A bunch of composers have taken the lyrics for the catholic death mass and created master pieces. This is Johan Jernstedt’s Requiem, also featuring Anna Lena and Alexandra (classic version).
(Parts of the traditional Roman Catholic Requiem)
Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine;
et lux perpetua luceat eis.
Te decet hymnus, Deus, in Sion,
et tibi reddetur votum in Ierusalem.
Exaudi orationem meam;
ad te omnis caro veniet.
Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine;
et lux perpetuam luceat eis. Domine!
Dies irae, dies illa
solvet saeclum in favilla,
teste David cum Sibylla.
Quantus tremor est futurus,
quando iudex est venturus,
cuncta stricte discussurus?
Tuba mirum spargens sonum,
per sepulchra regionum,
coget omnes ante thronum.
Mors stupebit et natura,
cum resurget creatura,
iudicanti responsura.
Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine;
et lux perpetuam luceat eis. Domine!
Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi:
dona eis requiem.
Agnus Dei,
dona eis requiem sempiternam.
Lux aeterna luceat eis, Domine, cum sanctis
tuis in aeternam: quia pius es.
Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine;
et lux perpetua luceat eis. Domine!
My dreams are not really nightmares,
but they are
uncomfortable.
I keep running out of time,
not getting in time to
appointments or quite often
the toilet.
Another recurring dream
is that I have forgotten to take my pills.
Tells the story about aortic dissection and ends with a short instrumental “song” called Retarded fury.
Last year in January I performed a general health test checking height checking weight checking hearing et cetera
Checking the blood pressure was made twice by the nurse in charge then she had a colleague to make it a third time to assure that there was no mistake My blood pressure was far too high
I was sent to the hospital immediately for further tests and medication Later that evening I was released but a deeper investigation was started After a few weeks I was put into an X-ray computer tomography to check my renal artery. If the renal artery are too narrow the kidneys will tell the body to raise the blood pressure, which could explain my state.
There was nothing wrong with my renal artery but they saw something else on the images. The innermost layer of the aorta was torn away drifting loose in the middle of the vessel. All personnel became quiet and nervous asking if I felt pain or dizzy or strange. I said that I felt good and wanted to go home, but they didn’t let me in many days.
Then my wife remembered an episode ten months before. That was it. What I had assumed was a serious case of lumbago was in fact aortic dissection.
