"Ostinato of Sumer" is a captivating musical piece that embodies the essence of ancient civilization through modern soundscapes. Rick Dean, the mastermind behind Over The Top Productions, brings this piece to life with a multifaceted skill set as a writer, musician, arranger, producer, orchestrator, programmer, sampler, computer operator, IT expert, and AI implementer. The term 'ostinato' refers to a persistently repeated motif or phrase in the same musical voice, often at the same pitch, which in this composition, evokes the timeless nature of the Sumerian legacy. Sumer, an ancient region in southwestern Asia, known today as Iraq, was the cradle of civilization from the 4th millennium BC, home to city-states that later became part of ancient Babylonia. The music of "Ostinato of Sumer" seems to traverse through time, connecting the listener to the dawn of urban development and written language. Adding a layer of depth and emotion to the piece, vocalists Myka and Heldo contribute their unique tones, further enriching the auditory experience. Even the cat, perhaps a whimsical nod to the domestic animals that have accompanied humans since ancient times, plays a role in this ensemble, symbolizing the blend of the ordinary with the extraordinary in art. This piece stands as a testament to the power of music in bridging historical eras and showcasing the talents of contemporary artists who draw inspiration from the past to create something new and resonant for today's audience. |
