Hello everyone!
Here is the serious piece of electronic music. Rather more depressive than I
would have predicted.
First though I have to express my gratitude to Alison Utter for the sweet
vocals, that she has supplied. Thanks! And then we have the links:

Now about that song: technically speaking I used a lot of Midish and Nama.
And for the first time I really came to appreciate Ecasound's LV2-support. So
also a big thanks to Jeremy Salwen, who contributed that feature!
Musically, this is a mixture of different influences. I'm still not sure, if
it should be categorised as pop or electronica. there's some dubstep in this,
as well as some hiphop - in German! :-) - and some basic depressive pop. As to
instruments used: almost everything I have at my disposal. In software I only
used LinuxSampler for the Solina sample. Thanks to the friend, who made a
present of it to me! It's a versatile instrument!
This latest experiment concluded, I will just lean back and relax. As ever:
feedback is very welcome!
Warm regards and enjoy
Julien
Finally got time to listen to this.
Really impressed with what you've put together here. The contrast with Alison's
voice adds to the drama of the entire piece.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
