Time to leave

A slow quickie, if that makes sense.  It's a rather sad and slow song, but I knocked it out yesterday (hence the quickie tag).  More play with the Plogue, Alter/Ego voice synthesizer.  All Daisy 'whispering' variant this time.  Apart from that it's a double bass, a couple of Iris 2 synth sounds, and a couple of layered voice banks from Alchemy (before it was absorbed into the Apple arsenal and made unavailable to us lowly pc users - sob).  All midi, vst tinkering. 

Yep, it's almost certainly too slow, too long and thoroughly depressing, but again I had fun making it. Rough edges everywhere of course.  Thanks for listening, if you do.

Lyrics below, for those of you who are expecting to hope to understand what she is saying . . .

How did I know it was over?
The signs are all around.
We used to spend time with one another.
Now you pass me by without a sound.

When did you stop caring for me?
When did you get bored?
Did you not see me trying daily,
Not to be ignored?

I've packed my case ten times before,
But something kept me at your door.
I thought a spark still lived,
And time and time again decided to forgive.

My case is packed again.
This time I go, you're on yoru own.
You are dumped.
Ditched.
I'm leaving.
You don't deserve me.

Wow!
It's like a huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders.
I expected to feel sad.
Somehow it's the opposite.

Wait.  What's that?
A note where I plan to leave my own.
He's left me.

Still the same: your music is unique and brilliant. Not too slow, not too long. Everything is fine. You get five melancholy stars from me.

You bought it back, and you bought it back spanking new and better than ever!!! That upright Bass, so nicely, and I can't emphasize this enough here, SO NICELY played!!!

It matches with an almost electric upright bass variant beautifully, they share there place, then the upright Bass brings back that trademark (and copyright) Nickillus (get stuck in my head) sound back!

It really does play along so pretty here, it's aggressive, it's melodic, it's smooth - I can't get over the upright Bass in this piece bro! As usual, Reverb/EQ sounds pro bro!

You have a few high synths at some very nice places here too and the reverb you used is perfect for every single one (again, in a short time... These voices bro, who are they!!!!)

Speaking of voices bro, this is by far the best version of these voices I have heard yet. I can hear reverb that has played perfectly to make it sound sweet bro. I easily, understood 3/4 of this - And it rolled along nicely with the tune too, it was excellently played bro.

And the voices in the background as a choir are great, they add a very dark mystique that I quite enjoy!

This is a very well done piece, and definitely, most definitely a giant step forward with the voice synthesizer.

And overall sound of the track is very nice, it sits really well in all volume peaks, that's a very, very hard thing to do that is very time consuming bro.

Many, many kudos for all your work here with the instrumental alone, and a tonne extra for getting that voice to work better!!!

Hey, thanks for the very encouraging comments and stars, chaps.  Much appreciated.

And WOW, Franco - that is an extremely flattering offer.  You'd better count your fingers as I nearly bite your hand off, taking you up ons such a generous offer.  Many, many thanks.  I'll pm you.

A slow quicky, huh?

Well, I just cannot imagine how this was made in a quick way, but you are full of surprises, a true man of mysteries!

Whilst this music type is not so much mine (sloooowww....) I have to admit that the technical and musical knowledge that went into this piece is truly wonderful.

I loved your previous works and this does not stop here. The atmosphere that you build up and the vocals of the synth-lady are indeed non-matched.

No matter if this is a favorite or not, it is, in every aspect, another great piece of music.

5 melancholic stars into your account, mate!

Best regards, Norbert

Hi Nick,

Yet again, you've surpassed yourself with another outstanding soundscape.  From note one, it captures you and draws you in, further into the song.  Quite superb.  And rightly deserved of Franco's offer.  Congratulation and well done mate.

All the best, Rob.
