Liner Notes

very different sound from originally intended, wanted it to be more in line with the first day but less moody, more ethereal. then i put some breaks in and it was something else. been listening to dyad by jamie paige a lot so the first line's "will to meet in the middle" is a deliberate ref to that, tho i think that influenced the lyrics here overall as well vocals: kasane teto, utauloid #electronic #experimental #furry #utauloid #vocaloid

Lyrics

will to meet in the middle, unbroken exchanging calls, letters, tokens tearing apart the cynicism, though we, creatures of habit oppurtune moments recieved more often, won't act so unfit for another option, another place to go with you another dialogue, another unspoken truth

will you sleep well tonight? will you rest up this time? and im always grateful to fall away with thoughts of you map pins, directions, a city, a glen, exchanging thoughts, emails, tokens, riding within the frame, soon free, spaces we inhabit dont panic, say we're naught but driftwood, the sea glass has it another painting, another place to go with you another dialogue, another unspoken truth

will you sleep well tonight? will you rest up this time? and im always grateful to fall away with thoughts of you always grateful to get to sleep thinking of you

another dialogue, another unspoken (WOOF!) terror-stricken, slow thoughts forbidden, though a root or two stays true when im divided, uninspired, rotten, whats fucking new wishing you could take it all away from me, selfishly cycle renewed, no breakthrough, begging, just tell me theres no more uncried to get through

and it works, and you do, and i get to sleep thinking of you

Interesting choice to use Teto's UTAU voicebank! I'm curious, what specific voicebank and what resampler/flags did you use? I'm impartial to Teto's full VCV when using her for Japanese songs and I typically drift towards her SynthV voicebank nowadays but I've used her English (Delta-Sampa CVVC) occasionally. I've been using UTAU since 2010 and I've picked up OU more in recent years but there's still some things I'm reliant on Classic on for, lol. I like the retro sound, I don't really use older/older-sounding banks like Defoko or Adachi Rei much but I do appreciate people who lean in to that kind of sound.

en x-sampa and wordline-r. i didnt do much tuning or editing within openutau itself, i find her utau vbs very expressive by default, and then theres effects added in reaper on top to help it seem a bit more polished. im not a big fan of synth v vbs or how its mapped out, i dont think its bad or anything but its not for me. defoko and adachi rei r two of my other fave utaus, hah.

very interesting stuff, not really familiar with this spectrum of the Vocaloid side, sounds like Teto is a dubstep lead lol, the sound design is very interesting too kind of like chiptune but more wet.

This one is so fun and dynamic. I love the storytelling, the different sounds and sections really support the lyrics. There's this moment where I want to turn into a hyperpop magigirl (upon relistening, it's around 1:45) and give the POV a big hug and destroy all woes with the power of friendship, hah. And then the song progresses and the thought dissolves.

WRUAGH yay !!!!!!

ooooooh, is this teto's UTAU voice bank? I love the more synthetic sound, and it flows so well into the grit and texture of the other sounds you use!! Sounds awesome, cant wait to see what else you put out!

[pic]

yes it is!! i prefer more clearly inhuman vocal synthesisers generally, i think the utau vb strikes a nice balance between expressive and semi understandable and yet clearly synthesized. thanku for ur comment<3

Very unusual choice of sounds but interesting. You don't need to be afraid of sounding mainstream like Dyad ;) ;) The utaloid singing def needs a lyric sheet - at least for someone like me. Your can define a new genre. It's like the mk.gee of electronic music. Now I got inspired to do some sonical experiments of my own instead of my usual music.

thank you kindly! jamie paige is a big inspo of mine in a lot of ways even if it doesnt show so much with all the noisiness im putting out. wishing u luck on ur experiments!!
