This is a project I did a year ago. Was trying to build every track using realtracks that BIAB provides. This end product is all realtrakcs except the drum part, synthesized vocal track and some atmospheric sounds. The realtracks are heavily manipulated in my DAW.



Spring Rain - Lyrics by Sara Teasdale
Music, Arranging and Mixed by Quekou
Vocal synthesizer: Vocaloid

Spring Rain

I thought I had forgotten,
But it all came back again
To-night with the first spring thunder
In a rush of rain.

I remembered a darkened doorway
Where we stood while the storm swept by,
Thunder creeping the earth
And lightning scrawled on the sky.

The passing motor busses swayed,
For the street was a river of rain,
flushed into little golden waves
In the lamp light's stain.

Wonderful track, great job balancing the strings with more electronic sounding parts.

This would fit nicely in a playlist with the likes of Bjork or Portishead, which are some of my favorite artist.

Keep it up!


C-sharp when you cross the street… or you’re going to B-flat.

Quekou,

This is quite remarkable.

Your sensitive use of backing instruments gives this song amazing dimension. Lyrically, it is just so well written.

It certainly is poetry put to music. Thoroughly enjoyable

Interesting - you don't hear a lot of Vocaloid on this forum.

A very chill arrangement.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Hi!

This is what I call a "comfortable song". You can get comfortable in your big ole chair, put on the cans, kick back and enjoy. Nice changes in the arrangement and the sound effects are just enough without being too much. Enjoyed my listen very much (actually, two listens).

Really relaxing and enjoyable tune, again bit of Sade (nice coincident that it means rain in Finnish). Good use of Vocaloids and realtracks, especially that solo guitar. I really like the arrangement, it keeps interest despite its simpleness.
