Maybe a bit rough, but I don't want to agonize over this until they're not even singing anymore. Critique is still very much welcome. I know I didn't capture their full phasing or buildup effect completely, and to be honest I'm not sure how - maybe surround sound could do it.

I spent this summer (hell, this year) cleaning toilets in the dead of night and being so exhausted the rest of the day that I barely had a chance to see anything but my computer screen and filth. This has literally begun to sicken me, and I'm done with it even if it kills me.

Hearing these cicadas crawl out of a simple 3xOsc and a tuned reverb almost spontaneously, I felt it as a challenge - either make this winter count for something better, a resurrection of sorts, or pack up my bags and at least be toiling somewhere more beautiful than Harleybeersportsclubbington. Hopefully I know what I'm doing =P

I will never spend another summer without going fishing, or swimming, or seeing the sunrise, or exploring some new place that doesn't have goddamned walls, carpet, or concrete.

I wasn't sure how much to amplify this, since there's much higher frequencies involved in full isolation. I don't want to hurt anyone's hearing - a real cicada definitely can, so who knows? You have your loudness wheel available if necessary.
