Emma Kraft - Circuit Parade - The Dawn, opus 2406
[control: robotic, minimalistic, analog] [genre: synthpop, electronic, krautrock] [style: repetitive, mechanical, onomatopoetic] [mood: futuristic, neutral, synthetic] [tempo: steady 4/4 mid-tempo] [instruments: analog-synth, vocoder, drum-machine, arpeggiator] [vocals: robotic, vocoded, minimal-phrasing, female-ghost-vocals, vocal-hallucinations] [compression: light] [length: 210] [sequence: intro, verse, automation, refrain, outro] [intro: Mechanical pulse from arpeggiator and low-pass filtered drum machine] This is the dawn we see, (we see) (!) Electric prophecy. (!) [verse: Sparse vocoded lines alternate with synth stabs] We walk through data halls, (halls) (!) Where no one speaks, nor falls. (!) [automation: Synths layer into counter-rhythms; vocoder drones extend] The world is scanned and streamed, (streamed) (!) The lives we ever dreamed. (!) [refrain: Vocoder chants loop with robotic percussive syllables] I reach but feel no hand, (hand) (!) That's but a code command. (!) [outro: All parts gradually strip down to single fading blip tone] Are we the source or shell? (shell) (!) SHODAN, why can't you tell? (!) [end]
