Cybronica Flower Moon Song bio: Did you know that crows can learn and recall faces, even years after an interaction? This has been an issue for ornithologists, as once you’ve caught a crow to weigh, measure, and tag it, the crow and its buddies will dive bomb you every chance they get for the rest o...

Re: challenge takes, I love finding a way to subvert the challenge. It’s like a fun puzzle to see what I can do to fulfill it in the most unexpected ways (like taking a chunk out of the middle of the chorus for round 1).

Thanks to the judges, and to Lunkhead and letitsnow for taking the time to write reviews! Cybronica The music bed sounds like a drum beat and a guitar loop that go together and are funky, mashed with a bunch of other loops with different vibes, and to me it just feels like cacophony rather than a ba...

Cybronica - Pyramids Guest vocals, guitar, and some lyrical contributions by Estaphonia Notes on the song and its composition: This song points out the interesting phenomenon of making the dead seem like better people than they actually were. The pyramid acts as a metaphor: just as the ancient Egypt...

Cybronica Name Dropped artists: Balance Lost, Max Bombast, The Lowest Bitter, chewmeupspitmeout, Agony Sauce, Mandibles Most of these are attempts to fold the name into the flow of the lyrics. The most egregious shoehorning is using agony/sus- to be a homophone of agony sauce. The jerks of jerkatori...

Cybronica Crush Season For context, in the opera world, a singer’s season is auditioned for months in advanced, and then you tend to hear back from all of them around spring. This is particularly true for summer young artist and training programs, which can be highly competitive. The letters saying ...

Sorry to see you out, Vom! Good luck with the move. I thought I was going to have to miss this week too, due to traveling for a wedding this weekend, but I somehow managed to get in despite that and despite almost losing my voice in the festivities. It’s a bit of a deviation for me, but I’m pleased ...

I haven’t been able to write reviews at all this year, but I want yall to know that I am very much enjoying the musical output. Particularly this round I really enjoyed FBF- it had a strong resemblance to Where You Are from Moana, and just dripping with joy. Really looking forward to seeing the resu...

Is it possible to do a line cliche with an arpeggiated chord, or is that something else? -craig Arpeggiation is more texture/arrangement than harmonic line. Personally, I’d say it’s fine, tho ofc I defer to the judges. If you’re concerned, you could include a drone behind the arpeggiating instrument

My Demons are the Best People By Cybronica Guest: a former voice teacher of mine, extracted from a 2015 lesson recording. She’s fairly famous in the opera world, having taught a lot of singers who have gone on to have amazing careers, and she won the Met competition (one of the biggest opera competi...

In with what I think is an interestIng guest appearance- My guest is an old voice teacher from a decade ago (and als the aubject of some of my Is this a joke to you? Entry). I used a clip of her singing as a rhythmic drone for the verses, and I put the first beat into a sampler for the choruses to m...

i liked these ones: balance lost, frankie, cybronica and kamakura, i think

<3 I’m honored!

Cybronica - Boppin' pre-chorus & chorus. The drums are kinda awkward. The lyrics are a bit forced in that, like others, the title is contorted to suit a personal narrative rather than looking at the title in more of a vacuum. Belatedly, thank you to you and everyone who has been writing reviews...

Cybronica The ghosts in my shell Whisper in my ear Such susurrations I cannot quite hear A malware that dwells In my mind, full of fear The words, all unheard, Strong and severe The ghosts in my shell Whisper in my ear Such susurrations I cannot quite hear I know all too well How they come and disap...

I think I just barely made it in… I had a doozy of a time with this one. What with travel and seeing family for the holiday weekend, I pretty much wrote it all today, and recorded it in the last couple hours. Then I realized I was on a farm with spotty reception and had to run around trying to find ...

Cybronica - Is this a joke to you? Song context: I use jokes and puns as a way to relieve tension. And old voice teacher of mine hated this. At one point she lectured me for a solid 20 minutes (almost the whole lesson) on how I had to be serious if I wanted to be a singer and no one would ever work ...

In with a safety, and if I have time later I’ll get the rest of it polished off! Being without a computer has thrown me back into the days of using just GarageBand on my phone. it’s been an interesting extra challenge for sure! Sorry for the lack of id3- I don’t know how to add that to the file on m...

i wrote some reviews! is this the right place for them? … Cybronica - gotta try to get past my genre bias. The “is this enough” parts are really good. Also the vocal layerings sound good. Good lyrics. Bless you! Many thanks for taking the time to write these out. I’m glad you liked (parts of) my so...

If nothing else, it might be worth putting a link to the lyric thread on the nur ein site for posterity, along with the caveat that you might have to email someone to get approved to join the boards? Any, I somehow managed to make it in, despite losing my entire file along with my computer. I got an...

Cybronica This song is about the woes of dimishing yourself to meet others’ expectations or desires of you. In this case, I’m thinking my opera career, but it could just as easily apply to my short lived marriage. Take what you will from it. The challenge is met with a piano and a synth For your con...

Please note: You don't need to couple every instrument you use, just one acoustic/ electric pairing. If you don't have the acoustic/electric version of your instrument of choice, get creative. Samples would work. Virtual instruments probably. Make a convincing argument. This is musical Taskmaster s...
