Music for the Minotron
I’m a bear from the southern tribe of the Electronic Ursidae. Therefore I’m temperamental, hairy, hungry, and I
sleep a lot. But also, I’m a composer, I always have. This is why the Minotaur has taken me prisoner and locked
me
up in his daunting labyrinth: to compose for him. I am chained in a recluse cell of his lair. The monster feeds
me
only when I pay him with music.
Furthermore, the cruelty of the beast had him play a nasty game on me. Here is how he presented it: “ You shall write music for my super. Such piece shan’t have been heard, ever. Yet, it shall already be familiar to me. So much that I may hum its melody.”
To play his wicked game, I wrote pieces of music that I didn’t compose. These are old tunes that the Minotaur certainly knows, but re-written in an entirely new fashion. Disguised in a modern costume.
You may play the game too : listen to the pieces and try to identify them.
