This is the instrumental version of A Cast of Billions. I have a hard time judging my own voice (thus a true singer I am not) and it seems this vocal was rougher than most of mine. So, lets try over again with this mix.

Final version
An unaccompanied song about bedtime. Not a lullaby though. Oh no!
What does anyone think of the 'cat's moustache' line - it seems like that's a make or break call right there and i like it when i read it but it's hard to sing without…
Lyrics:
Skip ahead to her in pants,
watch her dance in the living room
in front of all the other dinner guests.
She thumbs her nose at simulacra,
but someone must play Cleopatra
in the PTA's yearly drama fest.
Her husband broke his body…
So I dropped the guitar into DADGAD tuning for the first time, threw a capo on the third fret, rifled off something nice, and sent it to Movement to Contact for his contribution, got it back, did some mixing...
Here is the result.

#4... a little behind schedule :D
Lyrics:
======
My glass is not half full
Unless it's being filled
I seek
the world to see
and I search
for truth
I won't candy coat
atrocity
But I know a few, that would (you would)

Commemorating the epic struggle taking place in Wisconsin (USA) an improvised piece for orchestral, Indian, Chinese, and African percussion plus 3 synthesizers in harmonic series tuning. (A straight harmonic series from C1 and on up). Performed…
Got bumps on my body
One under my eye
Been there since birth
I don't know why
Have one on my leg and one on my back
I guess it's better than having a heart attack
Someone said "Know thyself" he was pretty wise
I thought I knew me pretty…

@Jesmiaus Don't sell yourself short. This is the first year there's even been anything remotely resembling vocals and I can't really imagine them going on for 35 minutes in any form without making me want to drill my eyes out. What I liked about your autotuned thing was that it was *so* different than the typical BC fare which is why I gave it a prominent position right at the front of the track. I don't think that Blind Chaos should be experimental just for the sake of being experimental -- it's all about how the different parts work together even though they're recorded without listening to each other.
I am noticing a patter in the musics like at minute five to minute five and a half I start to slow down and change up the systems.. anyway when i mixed the two things they came out like this.
Chris it is loud but I guess the audio level on their computers can get turned down.. , this was fun and getting to the nother universe was intense, not sure if I am back yet or or not. :)

these are the messages from my machine. I did this before but somehow had to do this again. of course the answering machine messages were edited for content .. :)
I was just reading "The Challenges Facing Women in Music and other Scientific and Engineering Fields" and saw you uploaded a track - and I got to say this is awesome!!! Are the strings microkorg or one of those VSTs? They work really well with the voices - sounds film dramatic! Nice work!
@breaking light, I went into this blindly I didn't even listen to last years or really knew too much about this project. I expect I'd do something more experimental next time. So I just recorded something I wrote on the spot with the "fruity loops pitcher"/autotune thing. Now I feel like I under did myself listening to the rest of the tracks. Oh well theres next year.
Reworked the vocals a bit (quite a bit). And yet again! And now, Gumbo Stu is singing backup bits. Thanks for the vocals Gumbo, a very welcome addition!
And, as requested, here are the lyrics:
I'm Not Afraid
You can blow me up
You…

Refreshing! Love your voice.
Love it
Excellent
Your take on the world unsettles me sometimes, but I love how you tell it! Another rocking cracker!
Great build - another amazingly bold track. Some great flavours here. Never know what to expect from you!
@Norm - hahahahaha! :) Swanky rhythm, K! Love the "Ooow!" - great playing as ever!
I had to give it a favorite tag just for MTC's out of control guitar work.
Quite charming, witty, and enjoyable!
Now with lyrics.
This completely rocks. Definitely is one of those 'brainworm' sort of tunes that I'll be humming at work for the next three weeks.
