Lorem Ipsum - Wax Music Box
Season 1, Episode 6 of The Wire, has two things that are never found in any of the other 59 episodes. A slow motion sequence and music that is not found to be emanating from the scene. This is the song. It has a bit of a story too:
“… the track (and most of the material from that period) was pieced together and composed entirely on a DOS program called impulse tracker (you can fit it on a floppy). I had written the track, while visiting family in germany, on my battered old pentium 1 laptop and showed it to jason when i got back. he promptly submitted it to clark johnson, i believe and, the next thing i know, i’m watching a group of gangstas walking in slow motion through a getto in the city i live in while my low-fi chip tune plays in the background.several months later, when my trusty old piece of junk laptop got smashed while we were getting held up at gunpoint at our practice space in west baltimore, we were most grateful for the funds our relationship with HBO had earned us and graduated to more modern equipment (thank god). kind of ironic though huh?”
If you are interested in other music from them they are available for free from their website.
