Creative to the max! We smiled all the way through this, Janne. That midi riff is great, making us think of the blood pumping through the vein.  The mix is outstanding ... sounds great on our monitors. The mandolin’s light touch is just the right touch, Kevin and Solaria are awesome and the singing mosquitos were a hoot! Those pesky mosquitoes always seem to follow Bud on our hikes and now we’ll have your song to think of to lighten the aggravation. Enjoyed it! J&B

Hi Janne.
'My soul is a knobby frozen bud
I don't deserve a better death
I let mosquitoes suck my blood.'
Yes, I'd say macabre is a pretty good description! Very creative and unusual. And yeah, we can all related to those whining mosquitoes.
Regards,
Leon

Janne,
First, brilliant title! Excellent job of making Kevin do what you intended. Fun punkish pop. Very neat progression and instrumentation. One of the coolest song structures I have heard by you. Mix is outstanding.
Thank you for sharing.
Misha. Thanks Misha for your very positive feedback Glad you liked the title, straight to the subject  Janne

"Macabre." Man, you nailed the new genre for sure, Janne. The way you crafted the melody, even the chords, and then populated it with the perfect band is a lesson in song writing worthy of a graduate-level class. The bridge is (just like I like it) so different yet complimentary of the rest of the song. Very well done. So creative.
Thanks Marty for your very heartwarming words I don't even recognize my little tune in those words, but I really appreciate them  Janne

I was expecting a sweet, highly melodic ballad with Solaria on the lead as your next contribution ;-).
But I'll settle for this. This is more than okay! Extremely creative and very interesting, unexpected chord changes.
You sure are getting the very best out of Kevin and manage to make him sound like a real singer. Really well done!
Rob  sorry to disappoint you Rob, but I promise you that the Solaria ballad will be my next one to showcase here, just don't expect too much from it And thanks for your great feedback on my mosquito song Words like really "extremely creative" warm my heart Janne

That's interesting, and very cool. You have certainly learned those vocaloids fairly well. It I hadn't read that it was a vocaloid I would not have known.
I watching a documentary a few years ago. It was set in the jungles somewhere in the equatorial regions..... They discussed all the critters and bugs and which ones were endangered. At one point, the narrator was in a swampy area and came upon some very rare indigo blue mosquitos. Pointing out how rare they were, he rolled up his sleeves and let them feast on his arm/blood for a few minutes. He then stated that it was the least he could do to help the species reproduce the next generation. Me....I'd have probably swatted those little blue blood suckers.
Good song.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Very different and clever.
Quite an array of interesting effects (liked the mmms at the end) and the vocal programming sounds very good.
An interesting and engaging piece.
Peter Thanks Peter for your kind comment Janne

The introduction caught my attention right off. Cool.
I forgot this was a vocaloid as I was listening.
I love everything about this song. My favorite from you.
I had enough of those predatory mosquitoes when I lived in northern Michigan. Thanks ES for your pleasant feedback Glad to hear about the vocals, finally they are good enough to use like any BIAB instrument, without feeling guilt. Janne

goodness this is UNIQUE. i like very much the song start and the vocs at about 2mins 30 secs .
that lead voc effect imho at 2m/30secs is so superb
i feel it should be used in other parts of the song...
(that is a hit voc 'sound picture' imho.)
maybe particularly after the vocaloid section just to make the song go out with a BANG.
very well done mate.
best
om Thanks om for your very supportive comment I keep your ideas in mind for future projects. Janne

Love that wobbly sound of the guitar! Very interesting/humorous subject matter! That synth vocal is really good/excellent job with that! Cool song!
Thanks, Torrey Thanks Torrey for your kind feedback Glad you liked the wobbly sound, this was the first time I tried to make a MIDI guitar sound livelier, it wasn't very successful but luckily the "whining" fit the subject I don't know whether certain "double entendre" parts were lost in translation, but glad to hear that you found the subject humorous. Janne

J&B Thanks Janice and Bud, your reviews are always great pleasure to read "blood pumping", that's a good idea for the video of the song Well, I hope you can sing the mosquitoes away, but I guess singing my song would be an open invitation Janne

Janne,
Creative, funky and quirky- amazingly real sounding vocals.
The lyrics made me laugh and squirm; based on personal experience with those critters no doubt!

Janne,
Nice Rock!
The originality of the chord progression and melody are very high.
I believe that only you can write it.
Kevin's vocals are also great.
The usage of Vocaloid is also very skillful.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

Thanks Chris, I appreciate your comment very much Especially the Beatles reference, can't see a connection to any of their particular song, but anyway the comparison is a big honor to me. Janne
