This is my final project for my class. It just needed to be a composition using vocoders, formants, vocals etc etc. Most of the synths are vocoders from some various source. I made some vowel sounds, I recorded my girlfriend speaking in bulgarian and cut it up to all hell, and I used a program called Melody Assistant that lets you type in words, and melodies, and it sings it. Enjoy! |

ill have a listen here. |

nice chord progression, the production is amazing (as always), and its got a tight sound to it. very commercially viable (you've been going for that lately haven't you?) and worthy of a high grade. thanks for the good listen. :) |

thanks man :) Yeah... a lot of my stuff has been more accessable, but not really conciously. I just enjoy making tunes to nod your head to, and hum along. Its satisfying. Im still planning an ambient album though... so its not like Ive given that all up. thanks again for the listen and comments! |

yeah thats what ive been going for in a lot of my tracks as well. can be satisfying to have something to play for that cute girl in your english class, and also the people on the internet. |

this is good, really good. first song ive ever heard from you. |

i dig the bulgarian! these choppy sounds remind me a bit of the new skinny puppy record - have you heard that yet? it has lots of cool voice-fuckery. |
||||||||
|

|
|
thanks guys :) no, Ive not heard much skinny puppy... its pretty industrial right? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, they're generally considered industrial - i'll go with that. :) they have always found ways of embracing new music technologies, so their new record has a lot of really interesting processing, especially on the vocals. in fact, i'd say that there's a bit of idm-influence on the album. it's called, The Greater Wrong Of The Right. |

Otto van Scharrach produced two songs on that album... the two best ones IMO. Personally, I don't really like the political theme of the album... but the production is really strong. |

ooooh, this is beautiful :) |

you created the beat this way too? it all sounds so lush |
||||||||

The string part is excellent and it's overall a very good track. Well done on getting such a good melody with formanants- isn't one of their properties that they are reasonably resistant to pitch? I agree with what you say about accessible stuff. I find the same thing- I'm quite into doing stuff that makes you nod your head/kick drum alon with your foot, at the moment. |

thanks guys! big: no, the beat is just drum samples that I put together/compressed etc ceri: formants are the characteristic reasonant frequencies that give timbres their sound. the human voice has 3 main formants (well, many more, but 3 average formants that are really strong) for each of the different vowels. its different for males, women, and children, and is all based upon head size, vocal chords etc. so what you do, is you take a synth (typically a pulse wave, because thats closest out of the geometric waveforms to a human voice) and you run it through a bandpass filter, and boost the 3 frequency ranges a specific amount, and you get certain vowel sounds. another example of formants, would be the reasonance of an acoustic guitar. the body reasonates at certain frequencies, giving it its sound. so its not that formants are resistant to pitch, they are just frequency boosts/reasonances of a sound. |

Astounding track as always! Reminds me of some of Nino Rota's scores, not that it sounds like any of them, but it has a similar melodic quality that's very catchy. |

alright, take it easy man |

haha I couldn't resist, so I listened tonight. Fucking brilliant. This stuff you are doing now is much much better than the stuff you were doing last year. There is more emotion in this stuff, excellent. I would actually buy an album of your stuff if it is this quality. |

word :-D!!! Im definately planning on a CD in the near future. My girlfriend keeps kicking my ass about it... so weather I like it or not, its happening... hehe. |

I like it. Its pretty commercial, but not in a bad way. The vocal cut-ups does remind me of Mark Walks type of production a little. Mark Walk is the guy who worked on the Skinny Puppy r40f was talking about as well as producer of the two oHgr albums. The second oHgr album "sunnypsyop" has some really cool vocal cut-up/vocal production work on it. You should check it out, you might like it. |
