Trance, Classical, Orchestral Hoof
Moonlight (Moonlight Sonate Beathoof version)

I have listened to my father's classical lp's all my early years. After discovering Jean-Michel Jarre I imagined that classical music could be combined with synthesizers and beats. But looking at the studio he had, this looked like a dream that would take a lot of time and money.

Well.. That proved to be true. But these days there is a studio right under my fingertips. A MIDI-keyboard within reach, and a lot of ideas and desires in my head.

Somehow I suddenly had the 'Mondschein Sonate' in my head and decided this was a great piece to mangle in modern electronics and beats.

I took the piano piece as a starting point and wrote all other parts from scratch. So all additional string parts (and of course the bouncing bases) can not be blamed on poor old Beethoven. And asking him for permission is beyond impossible (he is dead, and was deaf at the time).

I had so much fun making this. It might not be the last track that is inspired by dead composers.

16th of october I listen to this track in my car and I freak out, gently, but deep enough to get my hands on this track as soon as I was near my hardware.. I almost can't believe I thought it was finished earlier. Oh well, there was a lot of hard work in it, but in hindsight it sounded weak. Tonight I did a new mix and replaced it here. After doing lots of other things and attending quite a few gigs (and speaking to some dj's and producers) I heard that it was missing some edge, some punch. So I tried to make it better.

And waking up the next day, I again started fiddling knobs, tweaking stuff and what have you. Think it is now even punchier and, well. We'll see..
