Oever Bart Spaan (fragment)

The Greasy And Bloody Bar

In The Shadow Of A Gray Idol

Jingle

“Singing under the girder bridge”

ひとふしの歌吹き流れ
行き過ぎる　髪にまつはり
土に浸み入る

The melody of someone singing is blown by the wind and stuck in the hair of people passing by.
Eventually the melody falls to the road surface, soaks into the soil and disappears.

Vocals: Two street singers & Vocaloid Yukari

Field recording: Recorded at a certain location in Tokyo.
A train passes over a girder bridge and people and cars pass under the bridge. Two street singers sing 'You were born to be loved', written by Rev Lee Min Sup, under the girder bridge, but people pass by indifferently.

Singing under the girder bridge

Singing Under The Girder Bridge

I knew right away that she was more of a robot than a human. Only some parts were pleasurable in the refinement they made. Certain mind structures had been honed to a level that only a few, often divergent, individuals can reach. I loved her from the very first moment, and no tests, trainings, or modifications ever changed that. I didn't even know what kind of data she was collecting about us. I didn't want to think about it or any other danger.

I met her, a pink-haired and cat-like woman, at an open firearm workshop while finishing the trigger

Positive, bright and cheery song with a winter vibe!

Because, I'm insane. The Ianuarius EP of 2023 Jamuaries has a second set of the exactly the same songs (except for a unique one on each) but handled by a different mastering engineer. This time, a straight digital master from our friend, RDT. All the clarity that I'd hoped for he achieved on the first shot.

RDT is available to master your track on Fiverr. While he gets rolling in this service, his rates are basically nil and the results sparkling. If you're interested in getting your track mastered beautifully for the price of a venti latte, here ya go :

The plan was to get one done from all corners of the mastering world. A brick n mortar pro, a DAW super-ninja, and AI services. Except for the AI ones, they aren't meant to be compared with each other. These are different approaches and both humans exceeded my expectations. I have been making new AI masters based on the two provided by humans, using one as the source file and the other as the reference to mimic the dynamics/color. The consensus appears to be that these are the best of them. But I can't post them because I already feel crazy for doing two masters. xD If you'd like to hear these, please reach out to me personally.

Maybe by now, some of you are as burnt on these tunes as I am but the idea here, and for all of these is just to learn, familiarize myself with the process and connect w ppl Thanks for putting up with it. :)
