...or do i want vocals after all?

the track wasn't written with any. i didn't have plans to specifically include or exclude, but my work in the period was generally instrumental.

pretty much everything else on this midi music disc is going to be instrumental.

i was just thinking that some vocals would carry the piece, but it came out of humming a part. hence the melodyne thing. that extrapolated itself outwards into an idea about urban decay.

but this is cliched.

....and i don't think i have enough words to carry the length of the track, and the end is striking me as vocally daunting, because i am not a singer and do not generally sing. it's just these big power chords that would need "real singing" if any at all. leaving it empty negates the purpose.

i guess i was thinking of saturating it with guitars, but i'm avoiding that, too.

i'm going to listen to it 100 more times. sporadically, perhaps.

i'm getting the feeling, though, that this is done.
