Duendes

We were here first
Drill down beneath
We were here first
Kill you in your sleep
It will be the greatest day

Another attempt at "dungeon synthwave". 60 BPM, A-major. Analog Rytm singing its analog beats. Iridium providing the main synth sound that's both pad, lead, and bass. Vocals harmonized with two vocoders: Ableton Live (digital) and Spectravox (analog). A pair of Mother-32s serves stereophonic acid in the finale.

Relaxing. It's so lovely and wide sound, and beautiful vocals.

Those vocoded vocals sound amazing, and really love the juxtaposition of the chill atmosphere with those sinister lyrics, lol. I guess this it will be a great day from the dwarf POV! Great choices in the sound design as always.

Thanks, I appreciate it! Also, I have to comment here since you chose to disable comments under your own tracks. "Or here" is great, it sounds like a cinematic intro to my track from this week! I enjoyed that a lot.

I appreciate you thinking about this music vs lyrics contrast! Thank you.
