Hey hey,

This piece takes many inspirations in style and melodies, though it is not a cover of anything. The style is taken from 70s disco funk as played by the Munich Music Machine, a collecitve who cover classical pieces in their style. The piano theme is inspired by late romantic piano compositions. There are actually two small quotations from radio jingles of old (until early/mid 90s) from the public German radio station WDR4, which explains the title.

Technically, LinuxSampler brings us the grand piano and the electric ones (both Rhodes and Wurlitzer) as well as the drums. The drum kit was especially assembled for this tune. The bass is courtesey of Fluidsynth and the naturally decaying bass soundfont. Yoshimi perfectly shines as a string machine. Both arpeggios and lead synths are hardware, the Behringer Neutron and Aruturia MiniBrute 2s.

In terms of plugins, I had to discover a few new ones and find new uses for old horses to achieve that distinct 70s sound. Even with good raw material it took quite a bit of processing to approximate the sound to the best of my abilities. Judge for yourself...

Best wishes,

Jeanette
