Counting Pieces by Voda La Void ( a song about murder )
Hopefully this one captures the creepy feeling I'm looking for. You can really hear the Alice Cooper and Radiohead influences on this one. The song is about betrayal and a demented murderous mind in the after math of dismembering his lover. Good times! Counting Pieces - Voda La Void

Tim, this is as you described it. Somewhat creepy and dark. The words were a little hard to hear, but it fit the mood of the song. Very creative and well done.

I was just about to give up (seemed repetitive) when the middle part where instruments dropped out and bass and vocals (acoustic also) took over. Is it creepy? yes. I do believe it captured what you are describing. Man, I don't know what to say. I couldn't understand most of the lyrics but maybe that's good! This song will haunt me for awhile. The Post Partem Depression theme for Lynn's song was a bit depressing but a fact of life. Though your theme is also a fact of life, I don't think I want to know what you were saying. Maybe that's the cowardly side of me. I thought the music was really interesting and good.

Yes very creepy in the sense where it takes you into a dark place hoping to make it out alive ! LOL I agree with Lynn vocals could be slightly up front a bit more , overall its a hit on Halloween . I have been watching lot's of horror movies lately , wife is getting worried about me but here's the thing some of these movies I have been watching have some cool electronica music in them and effect's in them , gives me some ideals for some of my music I like creating . She doesn't understand , DANG she locking the door now ! LOL

Lynn - thanks for the critique. I am getting the same from others too about bringing the vocals up. evadianepug - hey thanks for listening and I'm only kind of sorry I creeped you out. I will bring the vocals up to help in understanding the words. They're not graphic. Perhaps I should have gone more extreme, but I was channeling Alice Cooper sitting in a room with pieces of his wife around him...in that "Steven" mindset... Electro - thanks for listening, also. I had a similar exchange on Facebook with a friend of mine. I had posted something about writing a song about cutting up my wife into pieces. And I purposely left that dangling there, without any 'lol' or comedic validation. My friend asked what my wife thought about it and I said "I don't know, she locked the bedroom door on me..." We apparently have a similar demented side...nice to meet you, brother. Ha ha!

Man, I like it! Love all the little instrumental bits that rise and fall in the background. And I really like the vocals in the last minute of the track. The low res, telephone sounding, vocals in the back are definitely creepy. I can certainly hear the Cooper and the York and Greenwood influences. Well done.

How the heck am I supposed to go to sleep now!!! Very creepy! I agree about the vocals. Maybe not bring them up with dbs but compression. One thing I've been doing is use the PC76 and setting a long attack and short release with about -8db of gain reduction and set the mix knob to 40% so you get more of the original signal and them chain maybe two of the LA-2A emulations using -0.5db of gain reduction on each. It seems to work well and the compression is not really audible. Nice work but stop creeping me out!!! Give me fair warning so I can listen in the daytime. ;-)

OK, this was really cool. I likes it. I was actually getting a little Pink Floyd music/Marilyn Manson vocal vibe here and there, but who cares, the demented side shines through.

Nice work Tim. You seem to have the knack of picking a theme and bringing it to life with music. Love the vocals, I agree that they could be a bit more up front, not necessarily louder, just with more clarity.

Listening through to the end several things cam to mind Sid/Floyd, Captain Beef heart. The vocal could do with being a little louder but that is a thing for you to decided. Nicely done invoked the atmosphere you where after thanks for sharing
