The Clock is Ticking I am way out of my comfort zone on this one. BiaB style = Enya Soft Ev 16 Techno Orchestra Tempo = 75 BPM I deleted the bass, drum, and guitar tracks Piano - Karanyi - Minipool Strings - Karanyi - Wavesynth Me - spoken word, guitar, and via my MIDI keyboard the last sound Let me know what you think. The Clock is ticking Inflation is high Russia invades Ukraine There is a major food shortage China is testing the western world Companies are laying off a lot of people North Korea is testing long-range rockets Immigrants are invading free countries Crime is running rampant Cattle and chickens are dying unexpectedly The world is a mess The Clock is ticking
Have you ever noticed there are no lines to a bathroom at a water park?

Mario,
This is excellent. A big ominous sound (including the parting shot).
Great spoken vocal and very cool production.
Love the overall "Twilight Zone" vibe this has.

Bob Thanx Bob. I was going for a "Twilight Zone" feel on this one. I'm glad that you liked it.

Inflation isn't the only high in this. Man, how do you consistently come up with such compelling sounds, Mario. A very creative mind! I like the clicking clock reminding us that time is of the essence. I wrote my comment on SC just before the bomb went off. Too late.

Spooky and scary, you always surprise with ideas. Very nice cinematic mood, the ticking between spoken words is very effective. I like also the use of the guitar. This reminds me of a beetle living here in Finland, its name means "clock of death", the ticking is made by the male striking its head against the surface of the wood, in your song it is clearly the humankind that is striking its head to create the sound.

Weird but interesting, you create a cool cinematic atmosphere.
I would have preferred a less edited voice, more like a TV reporter, but I also like it the way it is now.

I like to think that I have a very creative mind but my wife keeps telling me my mind is a half a bubble off! Thanx for listening and commenting. PS - I said cut the red wire not the blue one. That is why the bomb went off

Janne Thanx Janne for these very nice comments. Yes it is a spooky and scary world we are currently living in. Lets pray for a safe peaceful outcome.

I would have preferred a less edited voice, more like a TV reporter, but I also like it the way it is now. Thanx so much. I tried the voice sans effects but I just didn't think if fit that voice well. Once I found this vocoder voice it sounded much better to me. YMMV

Just add the line "All according to the plan" and you'll really have a Twilight Zone song.  Vocoders are cool! Interesting song.

Mario,
Go ahead and relax-you are in a comfortable place as far as pulling off a work like this! The message is certainly an uncomfortable thing but true all the way! You have such a great ability to create these surreal soundscapes!
Thanks, TB

Mario ...
Sounds to me as though you were very comfortable with this. Social commentary in an interesting, albeit a bit weird, dimension. And what a way to take it out! Had my attention all the way.
