A Meeting in the Afterlife (Theme of "Smiles of Insanity")

A Meeting in the Afterlife (Theme of "Smiles of Insanity")

Project Overview

FOR THOSE OF YOU FOLLOWING THIS PROJECT, PLEASE GO TO THE NEW CASTING CALL FOR THIS PROJECT. Or maybe you can audition here still but I don't know. Best go there.

This song will be the main theme of my big project, Smiles of Insanity. You can download a ZIP folder with all the files you will need here. It includes:

• full sheet music

• a temporary piano backing track

• four MIDI files, one of each individual part and a full demo with the voices and piano together, all for pitch reference

The deadline is less important than whether or not the roles are closed; I will continue to be looking for people until they are cast.

For more details, contact me directly!

  • Hey, remember how there was a disclaimer that said this wouldn't be publicly released for an extremely long time?

    That is no longer the case!

This part's range is from G3 to F5 (that's the G below middle C to F the octave above). I'll accept a boy soprano (that's just if you're a boy whose voice isn't broken since that is what the character is).

Stylistically, I'd like it to be sung in that sort of soft pop style if possible. Some of the vocal nuances I would expect to hear from this kind of style are like use of breathy vocal timbre, use of soft onsets (sometimes) and other such effects.

If you can, sing the whole song but the most essential lines are listed below.

  • People who
    Have had nothing to do
    With anything we did
    Will soon from life be rid,
    Despite involvement
    Inexistent,
    No resistance
    Can be held against this chaos.

  • Rage is all I know.
    I just want to continue without this woe.
    Won't you go away?
    Won't you go away?

  • Happy ever after is not free to anyone who asks,
    But now we are alive again, even one will be a tricky task!We spread our shares of ruin
    In the spans of time that we each call our lives
    And now that we returned again,
    Not a remnant will survive!

This part's range is from G2 to A♭4 (that's the G an octave below the G below middle C to the first A-flat above middle C).

Stylistically, I would like this to emulate a sort of soft pop style, particularly for the character whose voice tends to be kind of whispery (in a creepy way); so stylistic nuances I would expect are like use of whispery breathiness to convey that, soft onsets, use of vocal fry, et cetera.

In the film, Dimentio's character has an English accent, but feel free to try whichever works best for you. It may be better to sing with an American accent if the other singer also has one to make the words sound the same when singing together.

And hey, if you're a girl who can sing pretty diddly-darn low, that would also be a pretty cool! Nnno good idea of how that would work, though! (Maybe the part could be shifted up a bit...? Regardless, I'd encourage giving it a go over...not giving it a go!)

If you can, please try singing the whole song, but the most important lines are listed here.

  • There is a single flaw
    Of magnitude much higher than all.
    All are blind!
    There's only me to answer the call!
    With successful numbing,
    An end to their suffering!

  • People who
    Have had nothing to do
    With anything we did
    Will soon from life be rid
    Despite involvementInexistent,
    No resistance
    Can be held against this chaos.

  • Oh, hap'ly ever after is not free for anyone who asks,
    But now that I'm alive again, finding my own is a simple task!
    We've spread our shares of ruin
    In the spans of time that we each call our lives
    And now that we've returned again,
    Not a remnant will survive!
