RP Rides Again

Another hit from the virtual band, Remote Possiblity. This one's called Vacancy.

Matt Love, our glorious band leader (although he denies being the leader), provided some lyrics about a lonely guy lamenting a missed opportunity with a budding online romance. This put me in an electroniky-synth mode so I cobbled some stuff together using new software drum kit I'd acquired, found a bass sound that fit well and used some sythesizer buzzes, beeps and swirls to create a basic outline of a song: intro-verse-chorus-verse-chorus-outro-extended outro.

I passed this along to Vincent Knobil who was sufficiently intrigued to sing the lyrics and add electric piano and guitar melodies. The results surprised me and work rather well, I think.
