OM - disquiet0266 by Daniel Diaz

Track created for february 2017 junto project "Vocal Cuts" properly capture in detail your singing — more specifically, you holding a single vowel for an extended period of time.

I started singing couple tracks of “O” but I realized that, during decay I was closing my O vowel with a nasal sound, like an M, then on following tracks I went straight to the cosmic-mystic Om. So I plead guilty of using a syllable instead of a vowel. Here I am to be convicted by a jury of my peers…
Recorded Saturday morning on the road somewhere in Argentina, with my laptop and a AKG 451 microphone locked in my room while outside an apocalyptic tempest raised. Tall trees fell, along with electric and telephone posts. So a full blackout followed, here I am online again..

8 tracks recorded,, one used octave down pitch shift, the other 7 are “natural” albeit with some melodyne to tale pitch wobbles during sustained notes.
One dense convolution reverb used (10 seconds)
No eq, no compression.

I sang C major notes randomly over a click track, so the harmonies are really hazardous.
Love
