I wanted to make the lead sound a bit distant, as the basic idea behind it is a sirene ala Odysseus, allthough not all seductive, but a bit obnoxious. Didn't think about her origin ... dang now I drew an european girl for the cover ;) > At times there is some low frequency synth sound in the background that > competes with the voices (or is it a voice?), it grows a little muddy over > that period. It's noise through low-pass filter with resonance and the pitch for cutoff. It's meant to be something between whistling wind and male humming choir, a backdrop to give the lead context. It shouldn't compete, so I might look at this again. > As I said, very well produced, so my comments are therefore of the nitpicking > kind.
