Great lyrics, that alone should make the project worth continuing. You could always hire someone from fiverr as I often do for lead vocals. Interesting project, indeed. Thanks TuneMonger for your positive feedback  It always pleasure to get such a nice comment for my lyrics. I have never tried fiverr, although I have used couple of other singer hiring services before. It is bit of hit and miss, usually sounding ok, but not like the "right one" vocalist. Janne

So good to hear a song from your workbench, Janne, and this one IS a good one. Seems ALMOST done. I agree with Derochette, and disagree with Janice. She can make any style sound wonderful. Man, I really want to hear this with your final vocalist and your harmony. Cool instrumentation is already there with just a few tweaks for the mix. Thanks for dusting this one off and sharing it. I've been working on one since reading Bob's post, too. Thanks Marty for your kind and supportive comment I hope that someday I can make the final step from "ALMOST done" to "done" Janne

Hi Jannesan,
I listened with pleasure and amazement to your demo.
At first, like nearly all others, I was amazed how that Vocaloid worked out here. I looked it up on internet and saw I knew it already. Dunny used it and was experimenting with it.
It's a interesting demo, including this artificial voice and combined with your vocals worked very nice!
I think you don't need a human anymore (for singing).
There is one thing I like to mention: the band and especially the organ and synth (I think) were too loud and distracted my attention once in a while. I know it's probably a personal feeling, but I thought I have to mention it here.
Hans

I really like the instrumentation and the cosmic mood. Great opening.
Very nice melody that the vocaloid presents well.
You should definitely continue with this song. Hearing the female voice, I think this should stay with a female singer because it just seems to fit the whole mood and tone of the song. Thanks Ezekiel's Storm for your kind comment Cosmic mood - I was aiming for that, glad to hear I succeeded  Yes I agree, this was made for a female vocalist and it fits the mood and the genre (like, for example, Cocteau Twins). Janne

Wow, that Vocaloid track motivated me to go check it out, I had no idea synth vocals had gotten this good. A little too pricey for me at the moment though – doesn't BIAB itself do something like this?
The overall feel reminded me of the David Lynch / Angelo Badalamenti songs sung by Julee Cruise in "Twin Peaks". Thanks Mark for your nice comment Vocaloids have surely got better and after this one I'm using, there are better but I haven't followed the development for couple of years. Yes, there is Vocal Synth (Sinsy) support in BIAB, I have never used it, though. It's an honor to read Lynch / Badalamenti / Cruise reference, thanks for that Janne

REALLY good song. I'd stick with the elements you have and do a slight remix to settle your vocals into the mix and rethink the drums. Thanks Ray for your positive feedback I'll keep it in my mind if ever working again with the mix and arrangement. Janne

Interesting sound, cool listen. The guitar solos worked really well, and I'll steal Torrey's words: ethereal and atmospheric. By nature the Vocaloid is a bit thin in the lower and mid registers. Adding your voice on the chorus really helps bring things together. Nicely done! Thanks David for your kind feedback Maybe I should duet with a female Vocaloid more often to get a fuller sound Janne

Absolutely wonderful progression--throughout, but especially in the instrumental bridge near the end. I really hope you will continue to search for a singer. At present, the melody is a little blocky and could be benefited by a human voice and some small glissando's. Having said that, though, what follows might make the more inhuman vocal more fitting than not.
This began with a real epic romantic feel. I thought I was in for a rapturous love song. Clearly that is not how it turns out as both musically and lyrically it just gets darker and darker. I HOPE what you were aiming for is "creepy", because that's where I think you arrived.
You both established and shattered the epic romance convention and wrote a piece that, to my ears, works more perfectly as the ending music for the credits of a Stephen King adaption or (help me) a Michael Haneke film. Dear God, I hope that's "good news" to you, because from my chair it's freaking brilliant.
Don't stop on this one. You might need a little help from a native English speaker/writer to polish a little, but that's hardly necessary. Whatever you do, don't ruin what you have.
Yours, in fear and trembling,
T
Thanks Tangmo for your insightful and rewarding comment I fully agree, the melody is bit blocky, it is not easy to make nicely flowing melody with Vocaloid, so I left that freedom for the real vocalist. Thanks for mentioning Michael Haneke, his early movies were really creepy. I wasn't after so creepy, the ending is more like a warning to think about consequences of chasing after dreams. Maybe the dark part is people naively dragging others to the same horrible fate. Difficult to explain, but I'm happy with the ending and glad that you liked it also Janne

Hans Thanks Hans for your nice feedback I'm glad you liked my duet with Vocaloid. And thanks for mentioning that those instruments were too loud. It's on purpose, characteristic of the style I was after (the wall of effected instruments). But if I experiment with this kind of style in the future, I'll try to make it sound more Hans-friendly Janne

Hi Janne,
That would be a marvellous idea to make it more Hans friendly, although it (almost) is already!
