Bare Bones Rock

The idea was to use a computer generated voice in a way that a computer generated voice might work. I thought of Astrid Gilberto, and her beautiful flat voice on the Stan Getz recordings like "Girl From Ipanema." Nellie uses no vibrato or vocal effects to speak of, though she does later on.
There was a real Nellie, who collaborated with me on these early works, and to this day wishes to be anonymous. I feel no shame in immortalizing her former alter ego as a digital creature.
The original masters for these first tracks sounded okay at home, but when I brought them to a studio to be heard by my manager and his partner, lots of things didn't sound right, and some instruments (including Nellie's vocals) weren't even audible on their system. It was then that I discovered that my VocalWriter application produced output in "Split Stereo" where the R and L tracks were phased oppositely. The result was, when played on a normal joint stereo system, anything that should have been in the middle was canceled out. Back to the computer, and I had to take each R track on each of my source files and amplify it by -100 percent. That fixed that.

I Want What I Want   Joomla mp3 player   Baby, I’m running out of things to do Baby, it’s not enough to be with you And I know in my heart That the world is conspiring to tear us apart Tear us apart Baby, it’s never gonna be so fine Baby, that I could make your world be mine And I think, though I try to deny That I’ll stay just as soon as I learn how to fly Wave you goodbye I Want What I Want It’s nothing to do with you But nothing I want will ever be right for you If I try to stay, you see There’ll just be a day when I’m no longer me. Baby, you’ve got your little band of friends Maybe you’d just be better off with them And I know you can probably find Someone new who’ll know how to make peace in your mind But I’m out of time Baby, I didn’t wanna make you cry But Baby, the world is gonna pass me by And the road that I’ll probably find Is a road that runs ever before and behind Dark and unkind But I Want What I Want It’s nothing that I can change I Want What I Want No matter how wrong or strange If I can’t be true to me I’ll just be a fool who’s just no good for you.
