I spent several days with my mp3 player set on Bobby McFerrin's
"Vocabularies," playing it over and over again. Incredible. I'm also a
big fan of Bruno Coulais' soundtrack for the movie "Himalaya." So one
night, I just started recording improvised vocal lines and putting them
together to see what would happen. I pitch-shifted some drones and other
lines down low, and then added several tracks of different pitches held
steady on one note. With the automation, I adjusted the volume up and
down on each vocal line, pretty much randomly at first, and then tweaked
a bit when things started to take shape. After listening to that for a
few days, I recorded some new improvised vocal lines and remixed. The sample is
a bit of the rough mix. The video uses a much longer segment of the recording. I still don't know what this will turn into,
but it's fun to do!
