Story Behind The Song

So bored with all the 4/4 that modern tech encourages us to make and I had this riff rattling in my brain for several years. Thus decided to make it into something. Originally this used a shawm with the Eastern feel but this was becoming too bright over the percussion so opted to use a Mellotron and the warmer tone for the lead. Probably relating to the famous Mission Impossible theme, this started to evolve with a TV theme show feel and my wife invented the titular character. Needed some tension in the middle for the imagined action scene against the opening credits so introduce subtle poly-rythm but them come back with a modal shift to hold the interest. Finally revert back to the original mode for the end.

Song Description

Basically 5/4 piece with a subtle poly-rhythm middle section before returning to the main theme with a modal shift and then restating the main them in the original mode. Mellotron used for the main melody. The detective image is based on an iStock image used under license

The time signature is the only "odd" thing about this one! I love the Mission Impossible-esque flair! Cool choices in some classic retro synth sounds/voices assembled here. I could easily see this one used ion Film/TV, Video/Gaming, and/or Voiceover productions. Great job!
