“Shelter” by Porter Robinson has instruments with a more gradual pickup. This is done so that they don’t clash with the vocals or the style of the piece. Due to the softer and less jagged instruments, the vocals blend better with the piece, and when the song transitions between sections, the vocals blend into the background more. Hyper Potions’ “Littleroot Town” is a heavily stylized piece where most instruments reflect an eight-bit sound. Although the song isn’t truly eight-bit, the inclusion of slightly harsher instruments reflects an era of video games with a limited sound range and less space for music. Pickup on the notes is short to nonexistent, further reinforcing the style. Fitz and the Tantrums also have a deeply stylized piece titled “The Walker” where the vocals sound older and a whistled tune is used. The whistling starts at the beginning of the song and prevails throughout the opening. This sets the tone and shows how the rest of the vocals will sound for the piece. Using instrument effects, synthetic waveforms, and a sound quality alteration, artists can create any sort of piece they
