"Oh no, another vocal prompt" was my first reaction to Disquiet Junto # 0709: Vocal Chords. Nonetheless, I committed myself to doing something cool despite being constrained to my least favorite instrument.

I quickly recorded a high repeating A -> E in time to a metronome. I then routed the audio out to my Roland VT-4 Voice Transformer, a fun little desktop device that I picked up a while back. I proceeded to record 7 additional tracks with the original vocal being processed 7 different ways. I mixed and blended and faded the resulting layers in and out to create a narrative texture. At the crescendo of this piece, there are 33 simultaneous voices harmonizing.

My technical inspiration came from 10cc's "Not In Love," which was performed live on a mixing board with 16 tape loops of the singer holding long "aaaaaaahhhhh"'s in various pitches. Godley and Creme are divine.

A short voice recording repeated numerous times, slightly slowed down and arranged in a canon of six layers with a touch of delay and reverb.
