very nice! also, that's an interesting fact about the 10cc recording; didn't know how they got that sound

If that’s your least favorite instrument I will be looking forward to hearing a track with your absolute favorite instrument! I feel like the reverb is dialed in perfectly and it really fills the “room” of your track nicely.

"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.

Disquiet Junto 0721 invited us to provide musical accompaniment to a storm. 

This one made me think of my grandmother. She and I would sit in her glassed-in porch and drink tea while the storms of the Atlantic coastal summer raged outside, wind throwing sheets of rain against the windows, the sky purple with flashes of white, the thunder making the ground shake. 

She helped me understand the difference between awe and fear.

In recording this, I tried to be respectful of the storm as it happened. I did very little editing. I tried to give the storm plenty of room to move around in, saying what I needed to say in the spaces between the peals of thunder.
