awesome
how many tracks did it take to get the choral sound?
very cool....



dirigent said 309 days ago
Tracks
Firstly only three tracks - one for each voice.
I actually worked with six tracks because I use a de-esser which seperates vowels and consonants, so I have the vowels on one track and the consonants on the other track.
The choir-effect is due to spacedesigner-reverb and some stereo-spreading ...

Terrific
great addition to mj. The singing is stands out in a very nice way. Great slant in the more modern percussion and bass as well.

Thanks for sharing

Roxylee said 309 days ago
Ancient meets modern again
I hope you sing in church; it would be a major blessing to everyone within hearing.. Wow... I feel like playing bongoes ing a monastery after this. Totally cool.

Camomilla said 309 days ago
Beautiful
Beautiful evocative song.

Bowman said 309 days ago
Irresistible.
Bringing the sacred into our time. Elegant work.
Best,

Wonderful singing Andreas. That bass shouldn't work, but it does! It's a kind of choiral groove thing (if that exists?) Very enjoyable listen, thanks for sharing.

peacepiano said 309 days ago
Vocal Setting
I like the vocal setting a lot. And the bass and percussion work well to "modernize" the sound. I would like to hear a version without the organ and xylophone leads... maybe addition by subtraction.

Thanks
Bill

I Know
You don't need more fans heck you've got 10 more than me, but I can't help myself I'm drawn to your music like a moth to the Flame, and this is one happy moth....

Very clear mix! I like when you focus on the foil between the sacred and profane; art music and populist elements. It's a rare talent that can mesh the two seemingly disparate elements together succesfully. Yet, you do it--time and again!

Amazing
I'm in a church... God bless

Wonderful!!

Hi
This was really mind blowingly wonderful to listen to and you sound like an Angel. I loved everything about it well done. And thank you so much for sharing.

Peace

Having grown up...
...on the "original" from the Liber Usualis, I found your rendition to be arresting, but not unappealing. I am fascinated by your recording perspective, dividing the vowels and consonants. I have no idea how one would actually DO that, but the result is haunting. I am personally not drawn to the bass in this recording as I think it overpowers the vocal lines and is so uncharacteristic of the rest of the music here. But I am nevertheless really "taken" by the solemnity of this arrangement and find it to be absolutely compelling. It is just wonderful to be hearing some serious vocal music here.
Peace.
Paul

Recording
If you are interested in this kind of working with seperated vowels and consonants: Especially the second tutorial video here
http://www.eiosis.com/e2deesser
provides more information.
Smells like advertisement, but I can assure you, they don't pay me. I just like their approach :-)

Great!
Great piece by all means, great controlling of your vocal! This is super work sir! Deepest respect ... WOW

Take Care

michael2 said 308 days ago
wow
this is a wonderful song. love choral music and you used it to great effect with all of the more modern touches. i really like this very much. have you heard the Brian Eno stuff from Bath? He played with a legitimate choir and used a laptop to manipulate and add to what they were doing (live). i think this is one of the more interesting things I have heard lately. great job.

dirigent said 308 days ago
choir manipulation
don't know this stuff...
Thank you very much for the hint, I guess I'm going to check it out soon :-)

said 308 days ago
Great
This sounds big, in the vocals.... And good with the rhythm in the background.... Good sound on this one, too.... I really like your voice... It sounds great in harmony... Thanks for sharing....

MIRx said 308 days ago
What can I say,
mr Choir Director? The original composition is for sure a great piece of art, the performance is magic, the added music and production are no less than beautiful... Only thank you is left for me to say - you don't even ask us to pay a ticket! :)

1460's that is...

This is really crazy inventive. I'm surprised and impressed that someone with your obvious talent is daring enough to explore beyond the safety and comfort of a conventional treatment.

This is really brilliant stuff. Please continue to explore because this is where it's at man. You're really creating some notable work and I applaud your efforts.

Completely unique
This is a wonderful melding of centuries and cultures...

Your voice is simply incredible. What you've done with it here is very creative and compelling. You, sir, are a wonder. Thank you for offering your music to us here.

Masterfuly Done...
Your ear must be tuned perfectly to 440.... Maaan..
I guess knowing how to hook notes Harmonically makes a difference.
The instruments put an edge on it, that pulls it out of the doldrums,
of Yesterday into Today.... Tomorrows.. another story.
Be Cool my Friend...

I........LIKE IT.............



dirigent said 306 days ago
vocals...
I did the vocals first and added the instrumentation afterwards :-)

that80sboy said 306 days ago

Heightened said 306 days ago
Loved it!
The past comes alive! This is what music should be about. Exploring, bringing sounds from the past, present and future. Truly wonderful!!!

Ahhh! El Greco
beautiful painting and beautiful music. I like the mixture of classic and contemporary nice bass line. Sounds almost improvised. The very low drum synth? in the background ties it together nicely. Enjoyed thanks

dajama said 305 days ago
Very nicely done
Great vocal performance, and I love the use of instrumentation behind the music - gives the piece a real edge. The choral sound you get is terrific. Very impressive. You have a great musical imagination. Nicely done. Peace.

the production sounds good. beautiful vocals. the back ground music fits perfectly gives it a very peaceful choir sound. nice bass line i think it was a bass it was a creative choice and gave some unique feel to the piece.
