At this point I figured I'd be remiss for not sharing a few of the things I've been working on. As I mentioned in the introduction thread, I'm big into electro, and electrofunk, so that's what I've been working on a lot (though to be honest, as summer fades to winter, I might start sliding back into EBM).
Anyway, that said, here are two songs I've been writing and tweaking for a while... also I don't have a fancy schmancy soundcloud thingy, and I only intend to upload things to youtube once they're 100% finished.
1 - "Breaking us Apart" (90% complete)
http://soundcloud.com/d-notive/breaking-us-apart-wip
The vocals in there are just a placeholder that I sang. I originally intended for it to be done with a talkbox (something I built, look up "ghetto talkbox" on youtube), but when that didn't work, I used a vocoder, which resulted in people unable to understand the lyrics, which is why I just quickly tossed in my own (pretty average, imo) vocals. I might still try an autotuner, to see what quality that brings.
2 - "Things you don't say." (65% complete)
http://soundcloud.com/d-notive/things-you-dont-say-wip
No vocals yet, but I have written the lyrics. I'm just waiting to draft one of the skilled female vocalists in my periphery of networking to come do it for me (and work out a continuing arrangement for 'band membership' hopefully).
Lyrics:
They say I'm filled with jealousy
But what do they expect?
'Wont play these games of modesty
Much to my regret
You know I can't have you so,
You take the thing I want most
.. and use it to make a fool of me.
Don't say that you want me.
You've already had your fun.
Don't say that you need me.
I'm not right for anyone.
Don't tell me you love me.
'cause I'm not the only one.
... and baby without me
Your entire world is gone.
You're playing games with my heart
But I expect no less.
You wanna make a new start,
With Sincerity, start fresh.
When will I stop loving you,
How long before I undo
the damage inside me?
Don't say that you want me.
You've already had your fun.
Don't say that you need me.
I'm not right for anyone.
Don't tell me you love me.
'cause I'm not the only one.
... and baby without me
Your entire world is gone.
[Instrumental Break]
Don't say that you want me.
You've already had your fun.
Don't say that you need me.
I'm not fit for anyone.
Don't tell me you love me.
'cause I'm not the only one.
... and baby without me
Your entire world is gone.
