Hey there!

On behalf of Patrick and Daniel,
[mostly just Patrick because Daniel is MIA at the moment]
Thanks for visiting our Tumblr!

We profusely apologise for the lack of quality here,
we are in the process of giving this blog a make-over,
and we shall be dormant no longer.

So prepare!

In the meantime-
please check out our soundcloud:

!

There isn’t much there,
but hopefully you will like our music!

As of now,
Patrick has shared with us a cover of “Drive My Car” by the Beatles,
and Galene has shared with us a performance of her friend’s original composition,
“Sneaky Square,”
as well as a digital recording of one of Galene’s original compositions,
“Realisation.”

Please feel free to comment and suggest songs for us to cover.
We already have a few in planning!

[Yes, this is what you get for asking “helloooo” ]

Cheers!
-dpgbeats

P.S. Why do I have a feeling Daniel asked us this question…

lately, I’ve been kinda getting into Belle And Sebastian. Aside from being a pun on a disney movie i think, they’re a pretty good band. They combine elements from the Beatles, The Smiths and what seems like the Velvet Underground to create an extremely musically style. This particular song has a very George Harrison esque guitar line, full of tasteful little fills and little flourishes all around the melodious guitar playing.

well...

falling-water: The composition is based upon a poem by Henri...

falling-water:

The composition is based upon a poem by Henri Cazalis, on an old French superstition: Zig, zig, zig, Death in a cadence, Striking with his heel a tomb, Death at midnight plays a dance-tune, Zig, zig, zig, on his violin. The winter wind blows and the night is dark; Moans are heard in the linden trees. Through the gloom, white skeletons pass, Running and leaping in their shrouds. Zig, zig, zig, each one is frisking, The bones of the dancers are heard to crack— But hist! of a sudden they quit the round, They push forward, they fly; the cock has crowed.

According to the ancient superstition, “Death” appears at midnight every year on Halloween. Death has the power to call forth the dead from their graves to dance for him while he plays his fiddle (represented by a solo violin with its E-string tuned to an E-flat in an example of scordatura tuning). His skeletons dance for him until the first break of dawn, when they must return to their graves until the next year.

The piece opens with a harp playing a single note, D, twelve times to signify the clock striking midnight, accompanied by soft chords from the string section. This then leads to the eerie E flat and A chords (also known as a tritone or the “Devil’s chord”) played by a solo violin, representing death on his fiddle. After which the main theme is heard on a solo flute and is followed by a descending scale on the solo violin. The rest of the orchestra, particularly the lower instruments of the string section, then joins in on the descending scale. The main theme and the scale is then heard throughout the various sections of the orchestra until it breaks to the solo violin and the harp playing the scale. The piece becomes more energetic and climaxes at this point; the full orchestra playing with strong dynamics.Towards the end of the piece, there is another violin solo, now modulating, which is then joined by the rest of the orchestra. The final section, a pianissimo, represents the dawn breaking and the skeletons returning to their graves.

The piece makes particular use of the xylophone in a particular theme to imitate the sounds of rattling bones. Saint-Saëns uses a similar motif in the Fossils part of his Carnival of the Animals.

The bouncing reggae style guitars really makes this song well, err different i guess. “Holiday” is sorta like an infusion of neo classical music with well weird stuff. Ezra Koenigs voice suits this group particularly well because of the treble laden guitars and fast bass runs.

personal favourite

The Arctic Monkeys are perhaps one of the most interesting groups to have come about in the 21st century. With their rap savvy beats, somewhat- rap lyrics and hard rock guitars, The Monkeys quickly gained national attention in England, but not so much across the pond.

The thing that seems to attract me and many other Arctic Monkey fans is Alex Turner’s (the lead singer, lead guitar player, lead lyricist) lyrics. He’s known for depicting life the way it is. Compared to some other people, he doesnt really glorify life and say that everything in his life is just dandy. Alex Turner writes about the people, the hard working class people that seem to be prominent everywhere. (which, may i mention is very cool.) And because he was a teenager when the Arctic Monkeys got big, his lyrics REALLY apply to alot of teenagers. (At least i think so.) A lot of people have heralded the Monkeys as the Beatles of the 21st century noting their gigantic success as a rock band in England.

This particular song is one of my favorites. Alex writes about what a person might see during a trip to a club at night. He says that evenings like this actually often might end up in upset because of the drinking and crazy stuff that happens at crazy parties.
