Both are forms are lounge music.<\/p>\n<p>Now you may listen to the following tunes and think &#8220;Sooooo, Paul is writing a lounge opera?&#8221; Oh heavens know. Do you not know me at all? Did you not listen to the first two operas? I will take some of these tropes and twist them into deformed shapes along with some other musical ideas i&#8217;ve had.<\/p>\n<p>Xylophone, marimba, certain latin percussion and rhythms, a type of chord phrasing, moog keyboards and a specific kind of orchestral flourish. Those are the tropes i recognize in these an which i can drive up to in a black boxy car and offer candy to so that they will climb in and i can take them to my dungeon of despair and do things the FBI would start a manhunt for.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway listen to these. You&#8217;ll get it. They&#8217;re kind of fun and they DO get across the 50s and 60s trying to imagine the future.<\/p>\n<p>[youtube=http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=HrGWshTI8-w]<\/p>\n<p>[youtube=http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=2NglD0H-cps]<\/p>\n<p>[youtube=http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WKebpSkHr6o]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So as you may know, i have spent the past several evenings trying to find music that could truly be considered Atompunk music, so that i might have some musical tropes to draw from for The Atompunk Opera.
