SAVE THE ROBOTS

By neon liminal on July 14, 2024 8:57 pm

Sometimes you just have to do the thing as silly as possible.
Vocals and lyrics by me - and I was sick, so the dry vocal sounded awful - but that wasn't the point as you'll hear. Ported the vocal samples onto the M8 to play with the new v4 beta firmware and the rest is all M8.

I don't trust my ears anymore with the mix/master but it's listenable.

Where do I sign up? I want to save robots!

Absolutely loved the vocoder sounds, it all fit perfectly. Gave the whole thing the feel of an epic tale. Awesome track…and hope you feel better!

if you don't trust yr ears anymore with this, please trust mine cuz THIS FUGGIN RULES
a wild ride, and everything just sounds RIGHT. you are so good at building in layers - emotionally and sonically - that draw the listener (me, in the case) in. bravo, Friend  heart

haha the vocoder lyrics are indeed fun. It kind of sounds similar to the stuff my band used to do. 

This needs a Max Headroom-like video just for the vocoder sections smile  I don't own glow sticks but that acid line makes me wish I had some to dance in my room alone. Love the squelchies! Excellent fx transitions too. 

this is fantastic

Thanks! I enjoy singing like a robot. And alas, I've not improved much, but apparently it's my mold allergy lol.

Thank you! I was very pleased with the acid riff and the arrangement, gonna steal some successes there for future experiments lol heart

Thank you! As is those dancing robots. I insisted on an encore here. heart

The beat on this is incredible and I love those acid lines, they hit HARD. The vocals work really well, nicely done making something good out of a sick situation!
