What are you listening to?

I love Bandcamp moreso, I wish I could compile my own playlists on the site so I could stream them remotely from the library. I prefer it to Spotify for artist support most definitely!

The perfect blend of jazz and glitch. If I ever produce an album like this I think I could die a happy man.

Just fits the times, somehow.

Not big into the trap scene but something about Doja’s voice just rubs me the right me. Especially the contrast during the transition from smooth vocals to that twangy rap vocals.

An old one, sounds a bit ordinary but after about 3 listens the penny drops and your hooked.

The YT brought me there for some mysterious reason only known to the AI gods… havne’t heard this track in ages but absolutely loved it when it came out.

Re - dance stuff: scary?..sounds like an evolution of The Genetorturers…

Yeah her voice is voice fits the genre for sure, just that I don’t really listen to it that much so I don’t really know any other artists that sound like her. The smooth vocals sound good especially with the reverb and the layering of the stereo widened harmonies. But it’s her rap vocals that I like most of all. There’s a characteristic to her voice that I like but can’t really explain. Her voice sounds like it has a very subtle raspiness to it that adds a little bit of punch, almost like sibilance in phonetics, and at time can sound a bit nasally due to her choice of words and how she pronounces them yet still smooth.

In this song in particular I like her use of pitch modulation to emphasis the end of a bar, when she “found him” at 2:26 the pitch change sounds really pleasant. I’m not sure what note she’s modulating to and from though. And I’m not sure if counts as yodelling but yodelling is essentially rapid pitch modulation from high to low, or low to high, and was used in other pop music specifically Avril Lavaigne’s track I’m With You which was massive when I was a kid so I probably have some nostalgia for that vocal technique.

Also I really like her use of of staccato in the second half of her rap section to break up the syllables of the words, particularly at the start at 2:40 when she say “play our fan-ta-sies out in real life ways”. It gives the vocals at really nice sense of rhythm and punch.

So I guess that’s probably why I like her voice, partly cause of how it sounds and partly cause of how she uses it technically.

Remember to tell your children before the out break there was a time when you could pop on a red tracksuit and play your Moog Voyager in the fresh air.

This vid bothers me for a stupid reason: I could not tell until I used full screen and froze the vid if the dude had a mustache or not. He does not, and I am disappointed. He totally looks like he should. Like a big 80s one. And some aviator glasses wouldn’t hurt.

The German guy in the Red tracksuit is quite a pinnacle force in the Eurorack modular scene as he is the founder/maker of the modulargrid website which every Eurorack owner on the planet visits to design their racks.
Ive also bought modules off him that he designed himself.

Really? That is cool! I have used that site to see exactly how much I will never be be able to afford to pay for my dream modular setup. :stuck_out_tongue:

I like the song too. :slight_smile:
