Who's singing?

And there I was, thinking that Q-Continuum's The Spasm was my new favorite song for the next decade.

Hi everyone, happy you enjoy the track.

It's really easy and melodic oldskool electronica. The huge effort and fun of the track, was making the robot vocals as un-uncanny as possible. (It's programmed robots singing.)

Totally digital voices? Wow, I was sure that some humanoid had laid down the basic vocal for this one. This song is now in my head. Any plans for 256 kbs release on one of your music stores?

Awesomely awsomest!

The text is great, and so is the track.

Very nice track. Both thumbs up!
What app did you use for vocals? Vocaloid?

#11, by GMM on April 23th 2009, at 13:50
Thanks everyone!

I've had lots of questions regarding the vocals, I'll write a making-of as soon as I have some spare time.

They are a combination of several techniques/apps/plugins. It was great fun to make.

Great track - I've been following your work for a couple of years now and always enjoy it very much. I'm looking forward to you playing a gig in Geneva some time. I used to work for a great venue called l'Usine there. Do you have any plans to tour soon and would you (or your booker) like to have the contact of this venue ?

This is magic!

Beautiful. And I was working on the same concept (relaxed song with 'robot' lyrics). Well, scrap that and begin again, as it's never gonna be as nice as this. :)

Great song. But sounds little bit like Røyksopp?
