SWELL (variation 1.0)

In contrast with THRUST (variation 1.0)'s minimal use of the (Original) THRUST theme, SWELL (variation 1.0) is completely structured around the (Original) SWELL theme. This time, minimal use of the phrasing heard in the (Original)'s melodic and bass sections are utilized. This creates a drone "like", continuos musical pitch, feel. I use the word drone "like" because neither of the sections sustain on a single note pattern. I guess drone "like" phrasing would be the more appropriate description. The droning of the two sections, mentioned above, successfully constructs a hollow soundscape placing primary attention on the theme, allowing the listener to fully absorb it's phrasing. 

SWELL (variation 1.0) is a variation of the (Original), however, it is also a variational audio prelude to a future release from the SWELL series project. The project is currently in the works and incorporates several elements currently used by the Tomasso Antonio brand, that will ultimately explain the origin of the SWELL series project.
