Off With The Clones - Zed

24th Apr 2010 20:57 - 16 years ago
Description : the lyrics are science fiction jabberwocky. they were written mostly for sound, rhythm & stream-of-consciousness imagery, like a tribal chant. they sound meaningless but are actually symbolic. "off with the clones in the cemetery bones" means that the clones are out robbing graves & committing necrophilia so it's definitely a song of dark humor, that's why the music is so dark & eerie. the feel is moody triphop in the verses & more rocktronica in the refrain, where i played several galactic fuzztones on guitar. the time shifts from 4 to 6 to 8 & the harmony is very chromatic. i wrote the song, did the vocals & guitars & programmed the track on logic 9. all of the sounds are combinations of different elements, if i use a drum loop i will progam an indenical track on the ultrabeat drum synth to reinforce it. when your time signature is changing a lot then looping becomes more complicated but it can be done.

ha, funny review. you make a good point--psychedelic music is not music by people on drugs or about drugs, it IS a drug. it alters your consciousness. we believe in the cosmic giggle. i hope you don't sue me for the lost day's wages!

HAHAHAHA! i can hardly tell what your saying, but what i can catch is pretty funny, even if it is dark humor. this is pretty good, the atmosphere is a very off and eerie feeling, with nicely written lyrics in the perfect voice to implement humor. good job mate!

hey thanks man, it's always encouraging to find people on your wavelength. some people think i am making light of this serious situation with these necrophiliac clones digging up graves on the moon all these years. i guess it's better to laugh @ it than freek out.

Wow - a very interesting track indeed, man! Sounds like a cross between the 90's alternative hip-hop group Marxman and the electro/industrial outfit Front 242. I love the strange synth lines and electric guitar sequences used here, plus those unusual/alternative lyrics fit well into the general theme of the song. Great to listen to and hope u to hear more tracks from you soon. Greetz, --Davey--

thanks bro, i will have to check out those groups you mentioned. i have noticed more psychedelic music these days so people seem more ready to trip out on stuff like this.

I love it! This has an early 80's rap sound with a touch of Wierd Al! Really cool.

Atmospheric liquid drum & bass meets deep house and UK garage, blending rolling breakbeats, deep sub-bass, chopped ethereal female vocals and nostalgic late-night ambience.

Description : I wanted to create something dark and romantic with an RnB and retro wave touch. This song has a retro futurism feel to it. I was inspired by The Weeknd when I was writing this song, especially his first mixtape, House Of Balloons, hence the deep roamntic analogies in the songwriting. I have sung this song myself and produced it too. No AI used here. This is an old song.
