Dance Theme

Written in 1993 / Recorded in 1996

This piece of music was first written in 1993, as what was supposed to be the main theme for a conceptual work, which was later abandoned. The concept was to write some variations of this theme track and some went well and others didn’t. The initial demo was made for my band called Culotte for its reference purpose, was slower than what you hear in this video and featured no drum track but the digitally programmed hi-hat part.

For making this video, I compared various available versions including the initial demo mentioned above and its resulted studio recording by Culotte but eventually decided to pick up the latest version I personally made in 1996.


The initial motivation for writing this tune was, to be honest with you, to write something for answering to some inspiration I received from Mariah Carey, especially from her debut single Emotions, which gave me certain new ideas on writing pop materials since I first heard the song aired on radio sometime in mid 1991.
