The Lore

This is a nightcore remixed version of the original –  Alpha Centauri

I made the synth melody in this song trying to catch the feel of old demos on the Amiga, with plans to make a song about that. But those plans derailed and morphed into this instead. So, VNV Nation is one of those guys I have been listening to for several decades. Love his style of dark melancholic industrial dance. So I thought I would have a stab at a cover version. Sometimes you just have to sing I guess.

How it was made

It was made in FLStudio 10 with these VST instruments:

Vocals were recorded on a RØDE NT1-A microphone. Vocals were mixed and layered in Adobe Audition CS5.5. There are obviously quite a lot of effects on my voice, but I can’t really say I remember how I did it. I can see from my project file that I used KarmaFX Reverb and Deelay on it, but I suspect I may have used Celemony Melodyne for the pitch effects, as that has often been my go-to software for voice corrections.

The song it is based on

This is a straight up cover version of Further by VNV Nation. Have a listen below.

The Lyrics

At the end of days. At the end of time.
When the sun dies out, will any of this matter?
Who will be there to remember who we were?
Who will be there to know that any of this had meaning for us?

And in retrospect, I’ll say we’ve done no wrong.
Who are we to judge what is right and what has purpose for us?
With designs upon ourselves to do no wrong.
Running wild, unaware of what might come of us.

Without a thought I will see anything etarnal.
Forget that once we were just dust from heavens far.
As we were forged, we shall return. Perhaps someday.
I will remember us and wonder who we were.
