MorE abouT LOTUS BEAT 2

Posted by admin under Incursions

Lotus Beat 2 is what we used to call trippy in the 70s, mix of opium and speed, kinda sureal trance, but with 21st century attitude, as in “hip cosmopolitan, multi culture”, for lack of better metaphore. just thinking about mixing Germanic, almost third reich choir vocals on a bed of hard-harsh analogue basses and brutal drums, with a dominating back beat. I wondered what would happen after the first vortextual explosion, but then life kicked in and i forgot to check on that again. So now, after having had a few moments of divergence, i would like to say that a nouveaus trance sureal is emerging, as if Salvadore Dali would mix photoshop palettes with Magritte and borrow the vexing pictures of Mauricius Escher, with old schule beat sense, that is the first volley of LOTUS BEAT 2. Interestingly so, that was not my intention. i wanted fast trance, because i only pogo dance, but you surely could dance to LOTUS BEAT 2! Thee are some fast pieces here though, 150 BpM upwards. Some of the other incursions are at dance floor speed around 126 BpM - 134 BpM, some down beat and even ambiences. If i had to put all of that on a cd i would make two albums out of it, but in cyberspace, it doesn’t matter, people mix an dmatch there own music anyway they like. The power of downloadable media!
