Emptiness

This music was inspired by a G2 patch by Ian Sayer posted here: http://electro-music.com/forum/topic-14978.html

I added a vocal track. The words are from The Way of Solomon, by Rami Shapiro. This is a profound new interpretation of The Book of Ecclesiastes.

This is a rough sketch. But like most of my work, that's often all there is.

I especially like the ornamentation used with the vocal--very effective. I do find it a bit 'rough' in a couple of dimensions. Perhaps less emptiness and a bit more obsessiveness might prompt you to refine it. (Sorry I couldn't resist Laughing

Hauntingly beautiful.

Without the vocal, this music would be a nice and tranquil. The vocoded vocal -- played without vibrato -- adds both drama and expression to the music.

Great work from everyone involved with this track.
