Feb 2022 soul dance post-apocalyptic
This was made with a Teenage Engineering PO-33 KO and some samples from digging my car out of the snow. The body part prompt was then narrowed by a Speak n' Spell. This is the story of Vessel IV's quasi-sexual encounter with a cyborg. Wanna know more? Just ask, we'll nerd out forreal.
You touch my lips and twist my tongue,
With your slinky finger
You groove, I slowly come undone
Your slinky finger
Just takes control of my control,
You move your slinky finger,
Then when my tungsten starts to glow,
You move your slinky finger,
You turn me off,
And turn me on,
And turn me off and turn me
You turn me off,
And turn me on,
Turn me off and on.
You found your ghost in this machine,
And with your slinky finger,
You opened up my battery,
And used your slinky finger,
To take control of my control,
You move your slinky finger,
Then when my tungsten starts to glow
You move your slinky finger,
You turn me off,
And turn me on,
And turn me off and turn me
You turn me off,
And turn me on,
Turn me off and on.
You turn me off,
And turn me on,
And turn me off and turn me
You turn me off,
And turn me on,
And turn me off and turn me
You turn me off,
And turn me on,
And turn me off and turn me
You turn me off,
And turn me on,
And turn me turn me on.
You turn me off,
And turn me on,
And turn me off and turn me
You turn me off,
And turn me on,
And turn me off and turn me on
You turn me off,
And turn me on,
And turn me off and turn me
You turn me off,
And turn me on,
And turn me off and turn me on.

This is fantastic. The organic crunch of the sampled snow shovel is so much dirtier than any bit crushing algorithm. The contrast of having everything else so silky smooth from the great vocal to the keys just sets that sample apart even more. "To take control of my control" is also a killer line. I have to say . . . I'm really glad your car got stuck in the snow.

The fact that you sampled something so...mundane and terribly frustrating and annoying as digging the car out the snow - I love this so friggin much.
I can HEAR...no, I can FEEL the sample, no no screw it, I can SEE the sample. My years in Michigan before I got outta there...good grief; being late for work cause the plow buried my car in the drive way...SO many mornings. Frozen pants legs. Numb feet and hands.
Ok enough about that.
I read the title first as "STINKY Finger" lol But I AM indeed making the stank face. Immediately when I heard the elec piano and then my nose scrunched up when the bass came in.
This is so 100% my kind of jam.
Those vocals! That style....I'm sorry if you might be someone who doesn't like comparisons, but you KNOW who I'm gonna bring up - the one and only Prince.
But of course you have your own vibe. All I can say is this hits in the exact sweet spot for my ears. Love every single thing about the vocals - that repeated vocal melody, the little accents you put on certain words.
These lyrics are everything paired with the way you're singing them - that turn me off/on is so rhythmically done on top of the super cool groove with the bass and the simple elec piano backing. Those crunchy drum sounds you've used are major flavor.
Sorry, this is perfect. Actually kinda made my entire day.

Ok although I consider myself a nerd, I have to admit I have no idea what's going on here :-D But like the song a lot! I like how it goes from loose to driven and back again without effort. The "turn me off and turn me on" with the bass is great!!
