The Message 03:50
It all starts here Or should I say… it all ends here I guess we all thought the world would fix itself somehow. We were all just praying for a miracle Well… needless to say… that miracle, never happened Every day goes by… we say this is the worse it can get. Then tomorrow comes along … and proves us all wrong. Some died by others… some died by themselves So now very few of us remain.. It’s been said that only the strong survive I am not sure if that is true Because all those strong ones fought and they all died All us so-called weak ones… just found places to hide. All I can say is…. we’re still here… I’m still here But what I want to know is… for how long… and will I be alone!

about

This collection is dedicated to the artists/groups who have inspired me over the years of my youth (70s- 80s) by their electronic and synthesized musical scores of television and film.

So many special thanks to the following for their overpowering influences: John Carpenter, Brad Fiedel, Fabio Frizzi, Barry De Vorzon, Vangelis, Giorgio Moroder, Wendy Carlos, Jerry Goldsmith, and Tangerine Dream. With an additional thanks to Kyle Dixon & Michael Stein. Hopefully their massive influences can be heard here!

What started out as just a theme and background segments to no such film… just a dark dystopian/post-apocalyptic concept in my mind, evolved into a few lengthy compositions.


Special thanks to software synth creators CHERRY AUDIO for featuring this release on their website,

about

Pat Cotillo Jr. New York, New York

I was introduced to electronic music by my father at the age of 10 (1980) with Tomita and Tangerine Dream. The sounds and melodies immediately spoke to me. But it wasn’t just the melodies, it was the endless variations of sound textures of a synthesizer that hit a nerve. Since then I have always been fascinated with synthesizers, mainly analog synths and it inspired me to create my own material. ... more
