Feb 2022 chiptune autotune electro-fang vampire ccwelcome
Modified lyrics from the skirmish earlier this month, and finally a production number!
That's not an antares, obviously, but I did the best I could with it. This is probably already the most diverse a selection of songs I've ever made for FAWM. And I'd really like to dig further into electro in the future, or just more modern production.
Our vampiress finally gets a new future from the tarot and waits with bated breath for what the result will be.
**Whoops- missed the BV that actually tag the card as The Lovers. To be added in future
Waxen fingers cut the deck
It's almost time
Hunger grows like path of the man
who mounts the steps
Her fists clenched, eyes shut tight
The mouldering curtains in this airless room
block more than light
but she'll be free of them soon
Destiny comes with Saint Valentine
She pushes on one sharp tooth
As if by force of will she could make it untrue
Then plucks the top card and lays it down
A new future is coming into view
The mouldering curtains in this airless room
block more than light
but she'll be free of them soon
Destiny comes with Saint Valentine
And the card in the fingers
(Les Amoreaux, Les Amoreaux)
That are starting to shake
Says the one who comes
Brings a love
That will release her from this fate
Saint Valentine comes
Saint Valentine

This is an interesting story. I wonder how many of her assumptions are true, and how much of it is just wishful thinking. Will her saint of love save her?
Nice clear imagery, supported by clean vocals and a very interesting accompaniment. Fun!

You definitely need to dig deeper into this genre, because you quite clearly have a flair for it. This is full of delicious things for the ears from start to finish. The percussion track in particular is stunning.
The vocal melody has some gorgeously old-school choices that had me thinking, weirdly enough, how appropriate this would be as a Bond theme. It would certainly give the franchise a bit of a shake-up.

Deliciously weird juxtaposition of a lovely melody with this unsettling and jagged-edged percussion driving the backing. That seems to accentuate the duality in the narrative of a hopeful sign amidst a dark setting . It was interesting to hear the extreme pitch manipulation partly because there were what seemed like some amazing vocal moments in there which might have been overwhelmed by the effect, although I can't quite decide whether I'd like them more if they were naked. Like when you hit that note on "soon", especially the second one with that little rasp--it's perfect for your tone. Another wildly original piece to add to this concept album type thing you have going. Bravo.

That rhythm track is pretty intense with polyrhythms both definite and implied. Combined with the autotune it gives this an eerie quality of reckless stumbling while clinging to the illusion of control. Really interesting effect to bring to these lyrics
