Cool mashup!

Janice was envisioning a dance scene full of dancers in the street like one from the musical, West Side Story. smile

The soloist guitar matches the angry (or maybe unsettled) mood sound from the singers very well.

Well done with the singers and the mix.

That very small event inspired a very large production! smile

Impressive!

Nice guitar solo.

Thanks Vic for your kind comment smile It is fun to make wilder and more energetic songs as a counterweight to lighter and slower songs. My next one will be lighter, I suppose...

Fun listen! laugh


Thanks David for your kind feedback smile Glad to hear it didn't sound too much like normal Kevin, I used quite big gender and breathiness values. And lots of belt.

Hi jannesan,

I didn't know you in that flamenco style. Beautiful intensity and pleasant atmosphere in the rhythm. It's original. I don't know the synths you use but the sound is nice. Well done.

What a cool groove Janne. Song has so much energy. Love those vocaloids. What a cool way to develop a song. Excellent guitar solo. Well done.

Well done!


Thanks B.D. for your kind comment smile I have no tempo limits, after 65 BPM song I gave you 130 BM song. And the next candidate will be 90 BPM, so I hope you get used to these sudden changes wink The lo-fi guitar was dirtier on purpose, for the sake of eruption of anger.

The lyric subject is more nuanced than the music and held my attention because of the contrast.
Great production and your vocaloid skills are in evidence.
Very cool music!

a very festive sound. this song kicks 'A' imho.

really liked the femme bgv's.

only thing i might suggested is a cleaner lead gtr sound picture. but thats personal taste.

Thanks om for your nice review smile Glad you liked the groove. Yep, the lead guitar sound is a matter of taste, I wanted it to be muddy to reflect the frustration of the story teller.

Thanks Janice and Bud for listen and comment, always pleasure to read how you have paid attention to the details smile That dance scene sounds interesting, I could use that for a video, although I feel that then the song should be more musical then, closer to West Side Story...

Janne,

A very enchanting fusion of flamenco and EDM.
The modulations are wonderful.
You're getting better at using vocal synths every day.
Your intention to make Synthesizer V Solaria to sound like a wicked lady is successfully done.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Thanks Shigeki Adachi for your pleasant words smile I'm glad you approved my intentions. And I'm really glad you noticed the modulations, I don't use modulation often, but interestingly here I'm going both up and down.
