I can really appreciate the undertaking. I’m faced with similar challenges on a track I’m working on. I have found different words at different pitches pose mighty challenges. Makes you appreciate what great vocal groups were able to achieve.. Beatles, beach boys.. on and on. I don’t know if you’re familiar with the classical choral work of Karl Jenkins.. and his work with Adiemes.. they basically created a language of notes.. not words. I believe it still tells the story by virtue of the title and musical / vocal beauty. Also.. I really admire your lyrics. I love that you never shy away from a more poetic approach. 🙏🏼

Excellent job on the voicings. You really captured my attention tonight with this.

This is lovely mate , I was a choir boy and that love of choral never leaves you

I love how these ideas come to you naturally and you just go with the flow! I can relate with not being able to get those things out of your head so you just need to go for it 😅🙃🙂 I really like to read your description, the creative process and also a language lesson at the end!

I love this. it's so dark and deep. truly a great creation

Celestial voices 💖 Beautiful sonic landscape 👌

A little out of my depth here but that should turn good with some practice....

This initially started out intending to not have lyrics but they wouldn't go away so...
 try and open my voice up to some new sounds and range. I always played guitar along to the choir when I was young, so I never trained that side of my voice as a kid aside from singing along to stuff in my own time. No time like the present.

Plan is to get better a building harmony and also discover how particular vowels and consonants are limited or open relative to each other range wise. Apparently that's a thing where certain sounds within words are easier to deliver at your upper range vs other sounds. I'd like to become more aware of what those sounds and voicing are and maybe factor that into the writing too more purposefully and use syllables suited to the top and bottom of my range if I'm struggling on a particular word.


Sound notes
first note is an Oooo seems to be easier to falsetto, maybe because the lips are closed and the air flow is more controlled where as an Ahhhh your mouth is open and you are more likely to get a rush of air and controlling that is maybe harder with finesse and without losing the breath too soon


The word "psalm" comes from the Greek psalmoi (ψαλμοί), meaning "instrumental music" or "songs to be played on strings," derived from psallein, "to pluck a stringed instrument" (like a harp). It entered English via Latin (psalmus) and Old English (psealm), referring to sacred songs, while the Hebrew name for the collection, Tehillim (תהילים), means "praises".

Of artists I've loved for a long time, Patrick James Grossi, stage name 'Active Child' would be the closest influence for honing and justifying music like this. He sang in a choir from early age and became a harpist in college too. He is a fabulous song writer and takes falsetto and harp into modern music like no other for my ears. Links above are his debut album from 2011 and it's a wonderful set of songs. Major thinkers
