Listen:

So this piece is called "Thunderclap", and in the opening of the song, you hear why.  My reason for choosing thunder particularly in this piece has to do with the fact that, as of the time when I put this together, my view of what was going on in my homeland, indeed, what continues to go on in my homeland, I had a very bad feeling, like thunder off in the distance heralding the approach of the Perfect Storm.  It turns out, I think, that I was correct in that unease, because the picture right now for someone in my station in society, namely, the peasantry...is very, very, VERY grim.  But not without hope, I suppose...at least, while I still continue to draw breath, anyway.  I can only answer for myself, but I'll continue to struggle for a society ordered to the common need, until I die.

That said, I really like this piece, though it's not perfect in its construction.  I had a bit of a hard time merging the beds I used for this song and certain parts of the audio clips I used, such as the one from the movie "1984" in which Winston Smith, in a hushed, whispered voice, speaks what is heresy to human society in his day...truth.  He tells the truth about the purpose of modern warfare (and I think that part is actually the most important part in this entire piece...).  For the most part, though, I find this to be a very entertaining piece for me to listen to, and I'm glad I made it.  It would have gotten a much higher rating from me if not for the fact that, in terms of actual production, it does need a little work.  Probably with pro-tools...which I don't have.

I'm not really going to sit here and analyze the thing too much.  It's truth as I happen to understand truth, but it's also meant to be a work of propaganda...that is to say, it's designed specifically to evoke certain emotional responses in the listener, and I'd hate to spoil the experience of developing your own conclusions about it, so I'll just say, listen if you'd like, and download if you want, and enjoy if you're so inclined.
