I’m guessing most people reading this are familiar with the
musical genre called dubstep. For those who don’t know, dubstep might could be
described as part of the larger electronica family of musical genres. According
to Wikipedia, it originated in the late 1990s, but I first became familiar with
it a few years ago when there was a period where it seemed most video game
commercials and/or trailers were using dubstep for their musical accompaniment.
Like all fads, it passed with time, though you can still hear it on occasion in
games media. Personally, I’m not a fan of most dubstep, and I tend to agree
with critics that a lot of it sounds like a computer having an epileptic
seizure. There is, however, a variant of dubstep that I have enjoyed, and it is
called dubchestral. As you can probably guess, dubchestral is a fusion of
dubstep with orchestral music. Like with any other genre, some songs are better
than others, but there’s a group (or maybe it’s an individual person, I really
don’t know) called Instumental Core that has produced a number of dubchestral
songs that I really like (along with other songs that combine traditional
orchestral music with other styles). I was listening to their music recently,
and thought I’d share some of their work.
