Pajappa

Written and Recorded in 2001

The rhythm machine programme was recycled from the ending section of my other composition called Sides. Probably, I wanted to indulge in the mood of the uplifting rhythm for a bit more when I finished recording the said composition. In this recycled one, I simply gathered my favourite musical bits such as the intro from Promenade, the main theme of Pictures at an Exhibition by Modest Mussorgsky, the famous chord progression shared by Sex Pistols (Anarchy in the UK) and The Doors (Love Street), guitar phrases from typical Rock'N'Roll style to the use of an exotic scale and so on...

The entire framework of the tune, which consists of a mere repetition of very simple elements, was definitely inspired from the title track of a Brian Eno album, Here Come the Warm Jets.

I didn't mean it but what I did here was summing up my whole musical activities into such a simple and playful piece of music, which became the final demo recording of my original compositions except for a few materials I later recorded for making YouTube videos in the 2010s.
