Constellation (Audio/SoundCloud)
Constellation (Video/YouTube)

This song was originally composed in 2010. I dug it up, because I wanted to try the new Synthesizer V JUN voice. I really liked its low register and this song had melody going low enough for the test. I was pleasantly surprised the quality of those low notes and its voice overall, a voice I wish I had laugh
The song itself is nothing special, but the BIAB style is very nice, I especially like the that techno drum which is rarely heard on this forum.
I tried some AI image generators for building the video, saves a LOT work when I don't have to paint myself or try to search from the net. I hope the video captures the feeling of the story.

Lyrics:

You were the constellation of my sky
I imagined its stars
drew all the lines
but the ink was not dry.

Wonderstruck when you came
Andromeda was your name.
Every curve and every slope
in the night I spied on you
through my telescope.

You were the constellation of my sky
I imagined its stars
drew all the lines
but the ink was not dry.

Pegasus was my horse
the white hair mane showed the course.
Dreamed a planetary ride
in the strange untraveled space
safely by your side.

Some stories are written in the stars
the legend of hearts I tried to mend
to rewrite just couple of bars
but you didn't want to descend.

I have blurred what we had
paint was bleeding the stars were sad.
Like a comet was your glance
a dust tail left behind
a myth was the romance.

Good stuff, Janne!

You do a great job with the synth vocals. This particular voice reminds me of you actually! Phrasing mostly I guess in the low register notes.

Good write as per usual, also enjoyed the video, very effective.

Janne,

This sounds great! I agree with Dave, it does sound somewhat like your voice!

Excellent mix and refresh.

Techno drums and a new synth. Nicely done, Janne. You're right. Those low notes are so low for singing, but it did an incredible job with the quality. The drums are hynotic, but I did like that they were gone for the ending. Love the lyrics, and such a good mix.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Hi Jannesan,

A intriguing song with beautiful lyrics!
The band was really nice and, although you did something with the pich of your vocals, your voice is still very recognizable.
I like that very much.

There is one but: when you sing at your lowest, the vocals became to soft. Perhaps you can turn up the volume so that what you are singing is audible?
But as I said, I liked the melody, your vocals and the lyrics a lot!

So, very well done!
Hans

Thanks Dave for your kind and positive review smile Heh, glad you think that the voice reminds of me, that's how I feel also and I may use JUN for some more personal songs... although I have noticed that JUN seems to work only with certain type of slow songs.

It is amazing how much this AI vocal sounds like your vocal, Janne.

And yes, those are some very low notes it hits. smile

The mix sounds good and the video is cool.
The cover art at SoundCloud is great.

Well done!

Janne,
It's like you, but in a robot suite smile
Fun spacey and airy composition. Colorful lyrical twists. Yes, techno drums are a perfect fit for this tune.
Mix is super clear. Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

News flash - Janne's vocals taken over by AI synth! - just kidding.
You did a fantastic job with her vocal.
Good lyrics and a great mix.
Super job on this one!

Really good work.
The vocal seems a little lost in a couple of spots during the 1st verse...nothing a little presence EQ couldn't fix.
Well done.


Cheers

Interesting song with a voice that does indeed sound a bit like you and also at times reminded me a bit of Robert (Spirit Level).

Well done.

I had the same thought as many - the synth singer really captures your phrasing.

When Jun is in his lower range, it's a bit hard to make out the vocals against the percussion that comes in at 1:44.

Anyway, sounds good!

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

Thanks Marty for your positive feedback smile Technology has taken really big steps forward recently and I'm glad that I don't even have to try to sing notes that low.

I like the metaphor for your song.

Nice cascading feel. Nice touch with that bell like instrument in the background (don't know what that is).

Nobody has mentioned this, so maybe it's just me. The AI voice seems to be off pitch with some notes. Maybe it was written that way or maybe it is a "humanize" function of the software. I usually don't say anything when a forum member is off pitch because we all or at least most are amateurs, but since it was AI, I'll mention it.

Thanks Hans for your heartwarming comment smile I'm glad you liked the lyrics. And surprised you thought it was me singing... I won't spoil that thought with the truth wink It is always difficult to mix low vocals, because those low notes are usually not that good quality so increasing their volume may bring up noise etc.
