Turtle's Dance

The story behind the music

After a long and exhausting "Turtle's Quest", the turtle found peace and tranquility in the coral reef. With his mind at ease and some musical friends nearby, his challenge is to make this place even more vivid. He creates a song that makes every soul want to swing.

He creates: "Turtle's Dance".

"He creates a song that makes every soul want to swing"

The relatively longer track "Turtle's Quest was judged in many ways. The "negative" critics were namely based on the long introduction of the track, the long playtime of the track and the "weak" apotheosis. The end wasn't as cheerful as expected. The positive critics were about the originality, the good composition and the happy end part. 

This made me want to give the end part a new life to it self. More cheerful and vivid. It should be a dance version which wanted you to start swinging. This needed a lot of revision of the individual parts and instruments because it wasn't made in 4/4 time. After revisiting the technical parts, the story needed an update as well. The idea was to make a shorter version, a more powerful version and a more vivid and cheerful version. If I succeeded is up to the listener to judge.

There's also a music video made with all the participating musicians. You can find this at the "Music Videos" page. 

Have fun with watching and listening!
