<p>But,</p>
<p>if you consider the fact that the whole thing was made on my new iPhone 3G Speed 32 GB in White, it makes you think about what the future holds.  Soon all devices will just be portals into the big cloud. Phone and TV will all come from the internet and all items and things will have web access and communication. Everything will just be a screen portal to the central machine. And no I didnt just watch the Matrix.</p>

<p>Hello my fellow music fans, this is my first post on this site of my longtime friend Mike and I am exited to post my work and see what peoples&#8217; reactions are!</p>
<p>This track was a Romanian language, christian electro-folk pop song made for the people of my mom and dads church on Christmas. When I made it, I had to be careful not to have the snare or clap on the 2 and 4 beat because that would give it too much rhythm &#8211;which the more traditional, old-european audience is not used to.  I also threw on the T-Pain effect because:  1) I can only sing well enough for demos, and 2) nobody would notice it or know that all these artists are on a Autotune craze. A few older ladies came up to me and tried to enthusiastically describe how smooth the voice sounded. (I didnt bother to mention it wasnt my real voice). </p>
<p>The song was an attempt to be kind of folk style in the way &#8220;ethnic music&#8221; is in Romania and also an attempt to bring digital sounds and instruments to an audience that traditionally isnt used to them. I wanted to make a good song people would like, even though nobody is used to liking stuff like this. I wanted them to be shocked, then surprised to find that they undeniably enjoy it. It got a pretty good response from a bunch of people when I performed it live on Christmas day.</p>
<p>My favorite part was recording the lyrics. I recorded the melody of the vocals in one take. I just started recording and sang, with no plan in mind, just letting the instrumental take me wherever. This was one take, first take, and it came out like that. (I don&#8217;t know how to sing good). After that, I wrote some Romanian lyrics to go with the freestyle english lyrics I did.</p>
