8. Band Introduction 2
///*****/// [Live band introduction interlude] [Female vocalist SPEAKS naturally to crowd, never sings dialogue] [Large realistic concert audience] [Loose rock vamp only between introductions] [IMPORTANT: each showcase is SOLO INSTRUMENT ONLY] [All other instruments completely mute during each solo] [Short showcases, 5–8 seconds each] [Crowd applause from previous song] [Female vocalist – spoken, warm] Thank you! Seriously... thank you. [Crowd cheers] Before we go any further, you should probably meet the troublemakers up here. [Short band vamp] Back there... BURNPAW VEX ON DRUMS! [DRUM SOLO ONLY] [ALL guitar, bass and synth STOP] [Drums alone – explosive tom run, fast kick burst, huge fill] [5–8 seconds] [STOP] [Crowd cheers] [Female vocalist – laughing] Yeah... shouldn't have encouraged him. [Short band vamp] On guitar... FROSTBITE LACE! [GUITAR SOLO ONLY] [ALL drums, bass and synth STOP] [Electric guitar alone – fast melodic run, bends, brief technical flourish] [5–8 seconds] [End on sustained note] [STOP] [Crowd cheers] [Female vocalist] Show-off. [Short band vamp] And on keyboards, synths... and anything with enough wires to frighten us... Some of you already know him. He came from Pulse Ecliptica to join me here in Vulpine Vortex. And more importantly... he's my brother. STATIC HOWL! [SYNTH SOLO ONLY] [ALL drums, guitar and bass STOP] [Analogue synth sequence] [Glitch rhythm] [Deep synth-bass stab] [Fast electronic flourish] [Huge final synth chord] [6–10 seconds] [STOP] [Crowd erupts] [Female vocalist – warm] Wouldn't be the same without you, brother. [Brief crowd noise] And that leaves me. I'm NOVA HOWL. Vocals... and bass. [BASS SOLO ONLY] [ALL drums, guitar and synth STOP] [Overdriven electric bass alone] [Short funky aggressive melodic run] [5–8 seconds] [Final low bass hit] [STOP] [Crowd cheers] [Female vocalist – louder] And together... we are... [COMPLETE SILENCE] VULPINE VORTEX! [Crowd roar] [FULL BAND RETURNS] [Huge unified hit] [Drums, bass, guitar and synth together] [Short powerful closing riff] [Hard stop] [Crowd continues]
