Finally, I finished my first song. I’m not sure if it’s any good though.
The plan was to speak a poem (it’s German but language doesn’t matter here) and to add some electronic music. Quite surprisingly, it sounds more like a rock song in some parts but anyway. Here you go:
I like it. If you want a critique, I would say maybe the vocals could be “blended” with the instrumental a bit more.
Kinda makes me think of Wolfsheim and Project Pitchfork. The instrumental.
Any chance we could get the lyrics in English? I personally really like how German poetry translates to English. The German always sounds better, but it how it meters when translated into English always seems cool.
Music wise it’s quite good for the first track. The vocals and lyrics have too much neofolk (reminds me on e.g. Darkwood) pathos for my taste. {{{I would try to bring them a little more into the background, do some EQing (lowering the high frequencies) and adding some reverb to make it more atmospheric.}}}
In fact, I’m not 100% satisfied with the vocals. The pathos thing is partly intended though. I have tried many effects, but somehow it didn’t work out as wanted… I will give it another try!
