Beat Symphony makes its argument with every bar: that contemporary electronic production and classical orchestral music are not in opposition but in productive collaboration, each making the other more interesting. Trap rhythms provide the immediate impact and contemporary credibility of urban music, whilst orchestral arrangements add sophistication and emotional depth that lift the composition well beyond typical genre boundaries. The strings add the timeless authority that comes from centuries of musical development, and the beats add the rhythmic currency of the present moment. The result speaks to multiple audiences without compromising for any of them – which is a more impressive achievement than making music for a single audience and considerably more useful.
