Ha ha, yes my friend, I see what you mean about Halloween. I used to spend most of my time in that state of being. Possibly it is what has diminished the holiday itself within my life. Then there is the cultural bias that it is a holiday for children, which was forced upon us in youth.

As I mentioned to toastedavalanche in the previous comment, I needed to contemplate the idea of satire a bit after reading the comments which were coming in on this track. Since it was not my intention, it made me curious. There really was no mocking in my intention, but simply adjustment of spoken words to serve my literal purpose. Is that satire? I don't know for sure, still.

Thank you for listening to yet another of my odd songs!

Thanks Orlando for your friendly comment.
This track is only a try on what i could do with some new (free) vst's i got. So i produced just a (kind of a) dark pad, added a cool trap beat and looked for some lyrics i had who fits to the sound. recorded the vocals and mixed it all together ..... out came this track that fits in a way to this Halloween forum threat from Cru.
Good to know that you think it work.

stay tuned

Aww thanks man. I had some trepidation about adding the vocals. It's so hard to get the balance right and I didn't want them to detract from the music. I'm so glad that you feel they work. Thanks again for your positivity.

Leon, thank you and you are very correct about Ed, Cheers to all!

:) Thank you very much!

I can think of very few received comments which were quite this positive and encouraging, and I thank you for it. The list of qualities which you expect from a song of mine - "creativity, inventiveness, extravaganza, healthy dose of craziness and sarcasm with loads of entertaining spirit" - they give me a lot of hope that I succeed in my intentions. It doesn't get much better than that!

Since these field recordings were open air and crowded, they are not prime in any way, yet they still add some atmosphere and interest to an electronic song. I'd love to have better equipment for this sort of thing. My digital recorder is much better suited for small rooms. It does also seem good for EVP recording as well, since I picked up one of those in the local clinic waiting room.

I appreciate you stopping by to listen and to encourage!

"The Halloween is near."

reminds me of a great tune from Judas Preast...Sinner.
Rob sings: "The Sinner is near, sensing the fear
And the beast will start movin' around
Can't you see their souls calling out in their brain
Can't you hear their blood is boiling setting them alight"

great tune, any how thanks for the nice words my friend.
Steve

Thanks for your nice comment and the fav Orlando.
May your crossed fingers bring me happiness

Good to know that you could enjoy the listen.
All I tried was to create an unusual mix between lyrics (a socially critical challenge to think) and music (a relaxed offer to dream and chill). And it turned out that it worked well.
Actually, it is not like Kraftwerk but somehow a little as in the spirit of them.

All the best and stay tuned

Not been around much myself mate.
I like the basis of this number but it sounds awful on my speakers only good on the headphones.
I posted it and removed it and altered it a number of times last night or in the wee hours of the morning because I can't seem to get personal satisfaction from it.
So .... it might get deleted again tonight while I mess about some more.
Cheers my friend.

Thanx Orlando
It means so much to me coming from such a great muso like you.
Please think of composing something I can sing to... anything lol!

It's great that someone of your creative calibre gives me such encouragement Orlando.
I really appreciate the feedback.
Thankyou.

Thank You, Orlando! I'm happy you enjoyed this short track.

Have a good day!

Hi there Orlo!
It has been fun.
As is pretty obvious I've got this thing about rhythm at the moment.
Mixing up three four genres gets me what I'm looking for.
Bouncing around in my chair putting this together.
It's changed quite a bit since I cleaned it up.
Thank you as always.

Hello Orlando, thank you for taking a listen to this one, which is getting older by the minute!

I've been re-featuring quite a few tracks lately for some reason. I actually have several new songs created. I think that the horribleness of life has become so overwhelming that I have lost my will to do things... it all comes down to simple survival, defence, and feeding my family. I know that at some point, this studio oriented phase in my music will be over... I know I will have to be on the run, and that does not lend itself to building complex instruments or having room to use them.

I'm very happy that you enjoyed this song, as it still is one of my personal favorites, especially within the genre. My anger knew no bounds at that time, as it seems to lately. I am just learning to control it for fear of jail time, or at least to direct it inwards.

I appreciate your continued support! Thank you!

Thank you!!

Hi Orlando~! Sorry I just saw your post. Thank you so much for the review, really appreciate it!
