Recently,
we advanced a working copy of our upcoming Binary Soundscapes
demo to music critic and Legends
Magazine editor Marcus Pan. He kindly
took the time to review several tracks from the CD and his words
follow in the excerpts below:
About StudioKraft -
"Studiokraft, while not "musicians" per se, surely
have the capabilities, but they bill themselves as a creative firm
that performs music composition and sound engineering for film,
radio, TV and gaming. Word on the street is they may be picking
up some major gaming contracts as of late so you never know - that
next PlayStation hit could be chock full of SK noises, sounds and
scores."
About the tracks -
"SK uses purely electronic composition throughout Binary
Soundscapes. First and foremost one will notice the extensive
complication in each of the tracks. From the opening 'Internal
Evolution' which opens the CD with fast paced rhythm movements
with winds and flutes wrapped around the beats with perfection -
to the closing 'Das Floot' (a nice touch, closing
with similar instrumentation) that is a quick witted trance/classical
hybrid. You'll be hard pressed to find any flaw in the workmanship.
'The Empty' rivals the work of even such notables as orchestrational
compositionist Danny Elfman."
"Meanwhile, 'The Secret Moon', is a more traditional
piece with Spanish strum-style guitars so lifelike you can hear
the squeaks on the strings. I've had to go and verify again whether
this is all electronic music and not live guitar, but I have been
assured it is. Violins join in with whispering castanets tapping
slow intervals. Slow, moody and introspective, 'The Secret
Moon' leads you into an orchestration score that becomes
a moving and fast piece of music."
"Want a little spookiness? 'Valiant & the Wicked'
takes us on a ride through dark valleys and windy chasms. Thunderheads
smash through our senses and leads into piano solos and string instrumentation
with bending slides that lead farther down into those darkest places
of our minds. If you're a Midnight Syndicate fan,
then Binary Soundscapes is a must-have for this
track alone."
