I discovered on Rytmik Ultimate that I could make some cool beat variations under the first of the female android voice parts (with a touch of reverb and distortion). When I had more ideas on how to insert more on what this android character could say to the rhythm of this piece as a whole, I had to create them outside of Rytmik, using text-to-speech with Audacity's reverb, distortion, and echo effects.

I'm glad I was able to add the extra parts of the character's lines to everything else through Audacity, for the final edits.

The beats sound industrial to me, and the bass line and some of the synths sound 8-bit. What an interesting combination!

It's been a while since I last completed a track that tells a story as when listening to it! The android character here wants herself and the rest of her android kind were created by humans, and somewhat emulate them. She shares her wish to the listener to want for all the androids she knows to learn to become more human. At the very end of the track, her wish doesn't come true. She malfunctions instead.

I've been playing a lot of the NieR:Automata game on the PC over the past few weeks or so! Great game. The androids from the Resistance and YoRHa military organization look realistically human, with some human behaviors--but lack certain characteristics and organic parts. That's pretty much what inspired the creation of this instrumental.

Android's Desperate Wish

SFJ - short for my artist name on NewGrounds.com, SilverFox Jams. I've been putting together instrumentals since 2003! Some of my older tracks are on Newgrounds and YouTube.

No worries though. I'll keep checking back and listen to my faves. I always, always check out whichever other music artists on SC follow me. :)If I like what I hear, I comment, like, and add to a playlist.  

It's amazing I've done so many instrumental things, and of various sorts too.
