This piece has 54 beats each minute. At Angkor Wat, a Hindu temple carving has 54 gods in opposition to 54 demons, and in their struggle they create immortality. Mystics (or mathematicians... whatever) in Ancient Greece knew of the prime factorization of this mystic number. 3 by 3 by 3 by 2. What does this all mean? Not much, as it turns out the concept of a "minute" wasn't familiar to the architects at Angkor Wat.

A semi-chaotic mix of drums with nice reverb.

Life is the source of mystical potential. Or it isn't. One of the two. If I had to bet... I would probably ask what those words mean. Even 'life' isn't simple. I don't think I could recognize what the first living thing was. It is like making a soup. Hot water? Not soup. Hot water with salt? Not soup. Add a potato? Still not soup. That's just a potato in hot salt water. At some point it becomes soup. Same with life. Bonus fact: Borscht was never soup. It is borscht.

A collision of musical traditions put together in an epic theme.
01:04
Loose groove with a nice active bell part, and an overloud kalimba.
01:50
Lighter and more fun small drum ensemble. Tumba, Conga, Quinto, Bells, and lots of Marimba.
04:21
A pan-world percussion track. No melodies. Could be Australian, could be Indian, could be African, could be Chinese, could be Hawaiian. Probably Guamish. World music. Percussion only! Use as background music for you world'y content!

Scoring essentials. You know that one piece of music that you hear when you follow your character out onto the street, and watch them do... something around the neighborhood. That's this. This is the faster version.
03:19
Small drum ensemble based loosely on west African styles. This one is pretty laid back. Tumba/Conga/Quinto/Marimba/Shakers/etc.
03:42
Definite African influence on this mostly orchestral piece. Clean ending.
02:48
Native American drumming with a flute. In some cases that's all you need!
03:53
New age music. You know what is cool about New Age music? Low ambitions. It wants to do a simple thing, and then does it. No crazy counterpoint. No complicated harmonic structures. Just a simple simple thing. Like if Tetris was all those long blocks. Man, that would be great.

Purity is the word! Start your day with energy from this piece. Recommend you set it as your alarm!
02:13
Native American drumming, sometimes with rattles. The 2 main drummers are funkier than most Native American pieces.

Scoring essentials. You know that one piece of music that you hear when you follow your character out onto the street, and watch them do... something around the neighborhood. That's this. v2 is the same as this but faster.
