Kind Music

Here is my first try with Synthesizer V. I had a 10 year old song for which I originally used Vocaloids. I thought that this kind of a fast tempo electro-pop song would be a good testbed for Kevin, so I used the original Vocaloid file, imported it into Synthesizer V and did some tweaking (including translating the lyrics to English). I also changed the instrumentation to use more recent RTs. I didn't remove all breath and loudness curves from the old file so the sound is bit rough, but I liked it that way. I used Solaria for the backing vocals. It is amazing how the technology has evolved in 10 years, the singing sounds finally better than my own voice smile

The lyrics tell about my love for pop music smile

Lyrics:

I had an awful dream
where John Coltrane improvised
woke up to a singing finch
guaranteed is his tune recognized.
From the first notes of his melody
I fell for the trustworthy trills
from the triad of lasting love
to the seventh of thrills.

I found kind music inside me
it was strumming a guitar
in a clockwork rhythm
four beats in a single bar.
I found kind music inside me
it had harmless poetry
a catchy harmony
a streamlined sweet melody.

I sank into the noise
the sand of Stockhausen's score
I was lost, but heard your call
your major of joy made me soar
I fused into your sound embrace
the stylishness in your chords
your heartbeat made me feel passionate
your rhymes I keenly explored.

I found kind music...

when Pet Shop Boys chanted It's A Sin
I experienced the wildest spin
when Chris De Burgh sang The Lady In Red
I saw your grace, enchanted
felt like a newlywed.

I found kind music...

Janne, this is really unique, and you have managed to further identify the versatility that can be delivered from the program.

The vocaloid worked surprisingly well, with the percussion from the TechnoDrums holding everything together quite strongly.

An upbeat, modern, stylish delivery.

Could be a template for Dollar or Brotherhood of man.
The chorus lyric works but could also be read as a little damning of pop o you could cover a larger demographic with it I suppose.
Well done.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Hi Janne,

When I pressed 'play'to listen to your song, I got back to the forumpage to see if I really had a song from you.
That was something different, man!
And you become the second David Cunny in the forum. You have to compete who becomes the number one! Or stay friends...

It's a nice song, with almost natural sounding vocals.
I enjoyed it much, but I have one 'but': I would have liked it more if the tempo was a bit slower. Now the words came in like a mach.., well skip that word. Too sensitive these days, so they come in rapidly.
But I am impressed what you have achieved!
Althoug I like your original vocals too. They sound so disarming. That's what we can you these days, I think

Have a nice weekend,
Hans

Very good!

That artificial vocal was extremely well done - great work on that.

The backing tracks and mix are also excellent.

Super pop music

Two thumbs up

We've listened to the vocaloid evolution on the forum for the past 7-8 years.
What you and others are doing is stunning ... especially compared to the earlier versions.

The programming of the software is far beyond our comprehension but it is easy to appreciate the amount of work that goes into it.

Of course you took it to another level with the cool lyric and mix!

Well done,

J&B

Very impressive indeed. These vocal emulations are improving rapidly.

Nice song well constructed and produced.

Clever and interesting.

Janne,

An excellent listen.

There is a joyful liveliness to this.

Nice job with Kevin!

Good use of the under-used BIAB Techno/Dance tracks. Put together well.

And a good mix.

I enjoyed it.

Thanks Hans for your very nice comment smile I'm glad to surprise you, although I have done several more electro-dance oriented tracks before. I cannot compete with David C., he is the master of using the synthesized vocals, I'm just a brute force novice wink

These kind of songs have to be fast, so that they can be danced and sweated, otherwise it would be a slow ballad for the last dance. But thanks for the thought.

I'll be singing in my next song, so you'll get some disarmament smile
