Title:
'This is the Euro'

Author:

Description:
A very rhythmic heraldic song.
This is my tribute to the new European currency, the Euro. Welcome, Euro!

Details:
With the so-called starter kits (containing several different coins) being distributed
right now and the official starting date for the introduction of Euro cash on
January 1st 2002 just around the corner, this song is meant to herald the new currency.
On the one hand, the song strongly builts on industrial-like sounds, nearly all being
tweaked in a way to make them sound 'solid' and 'serious'. Much of this feeling is also
conveyed by a very sophisticated drums part. It's my most elaborate one so far.
On the other hand, much of the melody is performed by straight-forward, pleasant-sounding
electronic instruments, reflecting calm and satisfaction about the arrival of the Euro.
The main song is interrupted twice by very catchy rhythmic parts. Enjoy!
