Pictures of Success

This won SounDevotion Competition Round 75!

Pictures of Success is a song by Rilo Kiley.

When a person is late paying a utility, the company will send a bill on an alternate colored paper, like pale blue, pink, or yellow, to warn the person that disconnection is imminent, hence “the bills keep changing colors;” I’m not sure if this sort of thing is done outside the US.

This was the second to last vocal I rendered with the Megpoid Gumi English demo before it expired. I didn’t finish making it right away because the cover song I released before it flopped badly, but considering the “special theme” of “commercial sound” and temporary covers allowed, I thought it might be good to give it a try here.

Human Touch Experiment

This tied for third in SounDevotion Competition Round 73.

This is an experiment in playing parts in instead of having everything in rigid tracker grid time, with just enough editing to keep it from sounding too sloshy (I hope) and a bit of delay-value copying as a sort of “groove quantize.”
