Mephistopheles Speaks by Villagerobot

A single from my album "That he may speak" out now on all major streaming platforms (Spotify, Apple etc) or on my music page on You Tube / villagerobot - topic

The title of the song is "Mephistopheles Speaks".

The white mask that feature in most of what I make is my "alter ego" - "The Villagerobot"

The lyrics are a leftover from my Hip Hop album project "Mephistopheles". But they did not suit the Hip Hop beat so I made it on the more traditional Pop electronic beat that most of my songs are on. I like synthesizer music (though I listen to many different genres on my vintage Vinyl setup). So naturally I have most affinity for that genre when making my own music. My style is electronic but with lyrics that are poem like and have a lot of hidden or direct meaning about spiritual life and philosophy. Like on the Mephistopheles album where I decided to base the album around a lost souls arrival in Hell - and where it is greeted by Mephistopheles that has to explain to the soul where it is. The soul naturally expected to be in heaven as it always viewed itself to be flawless. Mephistopheles task is not easy - but he gradually breaks the news to the soul and tries to tell the soul about the advantages of Hell and that the way the people have lived life on Earth - by choice - actually resembles Hell.

I make my songs by: pen & paper for the lyrics. Melody on an old Korg PS60 synthesizer, a Korg Volca FM, a Korg Volca Sample and a Korg Kaossilator Pro and a drum machine and a sequencer and some software. I sing to get the intonations I want - but then use AI to alter the voice before I master the track. It is a process I have a lot of fun with.

I hope you will enjoy the result. Please subscribe and like - it is hard work to make music and takes a lot of time.
