The Getaway - "The Riff That Got Away" Contest Instrumental Version - Windfarms With Wifi

Sorry for the rough recording/editing quality!  This #CelloMetal was rushed together in about a week of free time for Rob Scallon's "The Riff That Got Away" contest #RiffThatGotAway , so isn't up to my usual standards, but I hope you enjoy it anyway!  I'll probably make a higher quality version in a few months, 'cause I like its jam.

This is 3 cello parts: high, mid, and low (with C tuned down to G for extra BASS), as well as MIDI drums, though I'd have preferred a drum kit, or at least better drum samples.  The riff appears, with some small rhythm changes, both broken and unbroken in G minor, unbroken in G mixolydian, broken in D major, also sometimes starting on the root instead of the third in G minor, and the triplet-triplet-triplet-duplet part of the riff also appears 4x slower in the lead line in D minor.

I've written lyrics for a vocal version, (turn on captions to see them), which would replace the lead line, but I'll leave that for when there's a bit less time pressure, and when I can access a vocal booth and someone who knows how to mix vocals.

The name "Windfarms With Wifi" is a reference to a CGP Grey video about the "nocebo effect", the effect where the act of *thinking* that something will cause a bad symptom, causes the bad symptom.
