Absolutely love the vocal arrangements and harmonies! Its so cool that you did that! Also very nice trombone and cuica implementations they sound awesome! Very fun and nice track, love the ending has a kind of nintendo sound which I find so fun! Amazing work! :D
Haha this is so much fun! I loved what you did with the vocals, definitely in the style of a Bossa (I especially liked the 'Subindo!' sung at the end). And the trombone-cuica interplay felt welcomingly quirky. Nice one!
The voices bring such a fun vibe to the song! I love how the instruments and vocals all seem to talk to each other (especially the cuica being its own solo thing). Maybe not very futuristic, but it really makes me imagine like I'm in an elevator with a whole band accompanying me to the top floor!
There is a back and forth there for sure. I wanted to keep the feel dynamic without changing the groove TOO often, but I'm happy that every instrument got its time to shine. Hopefully, we done get ambushed by Bossa-enjoying musicians in an elevator in any of OUR futures [unless we can join in ;) ] lol Thanks for the feedback!
loved the use of the cuica, a completely underutilized instrument imo! I didn't really noticed the "bit-crushed" part of the congas, but maybe it's not so important. Great gang vocals too (as I expect from your compositions as per usual honestly)
I promise a friend of mine who found some great Bossa tracks to listen in preparation that I'd fit Cuica in somewhere. Also, when else do I ever get to include them? It had to be done.
I definitely didn't go far enough with the bitcrushing effect because it sounded a little TOO strange, but it was an attempt at sounding futuristic that I gave up on.
I appreciate it, Xiro. Thanks for sharing this Jam, I'll definitely do more the the future!
This one is so unique from the other ones I've heard so far and I love it lol it's kinda of humorous to me in a way! I feel like running through a marketplace to it (probably shouting Subindooooo!!! as I fly through)!
I definitely just wanted an upbeat Bossa but after reading this I realized that I did choose a lot of objectively comedic sounding instruments LOL Also, that scenario you just described reminds me of the music video for 'Weapon of Choice" by Fatboy Slim. I'll take that as a HUGE compliment, so ty!
Just wow. This was amazing. How did you do the voices? They sound live. Please do tell! This had amazing character, variety, and is just so well composed. Loved it. My only critique, and this is just being technical, is that it could have been more "futuristic"? Otherwise this is one of my faves.
Thank you so much! All the voices and trombone were done live with my phone (my mic interface is shot atm, so now I have 15 new files in my phone's storage lol) while listening to the track playing from my laptop. Luckily, I got some solid takes in there that I was able to quickly splice together since I only had around 2.5 hours left before the deadline by the time I started editing vocals (I didn't even have time for any detailed mixing or pitch correction, which might've be better for the Bossa-style in some ways).
VERY fair critique on the texture not sounding as futuristic as it probably could. I got wrapped up in learning how to properly write a Bossa Nova and hoped I'd find the right synth colors and DnB backbeat to help accommodate that limitation, but in the end it sounds more like a 'modern club mix' rather than even a dedicated sci-fi game track or something similar. Appreciate the feedback!
Just listened to this again. I'm still really impressed. I can't believe that that's done with just your own voice? You have a lovely voice. This is something totally new to me. Was that all in your own natural range or did you use software to cover more territory? I noticed it went really high. Also, was there some auto tuning in there? I'm just wondering about all the technical things because it sounds so damn good.
My voice is my most comfortable instrument, by far. I would typically do at least a little bit of pitch correction (especially for unison and octave lines) but I genuinely didn't have time and it was just faster to keep doing takes until I sung in tune enough times to splice the best parts together. No auto-tune was used AT ALL. I have a healthy tenor range and falsetto so I'm used to singing high when needed, but I definitely had water on standby while recording Lol
Awesome! What a great tool you have :-)
