Description:
this is another version of http://www.macjams.com/song/37345 featuring the voice of Moviz
Lyrics:
There's A Bell In The Valley
There's a bell in the valley
It sings to the wind
There's a bell in the valley
Where do i begin
This time i will listen
But will i hear the song
This night as i'm sleeping
A long, long way from home
I'm a long, long way from home
There's a voice in the valley
It speaks to my mind
There's a voice in the valley
It speaks to mankind
But who here is listening
And hearing what it says
This night as we're dreaming
A long, long way from home
We're a long, long way from home
We're a long, long way from home
(c) 2007 Bill Grundmann

i feel lucky to have enlisted Moviz's help on this - i was imagining how his voice would sound on this, and i am very very glad he agreed to give it a go!

staggering... &mdash 12/10/07 - 07:12:46 PM
At first, the way you staggered each vocal phrase slightly after the musical phrase, I thought it was a little unusual (not good or bad)... but the more I listened, as the song progressed, the more I liked the staggered effect, and just as I got used to it, Maurice pulled in sync for the end, which was profoundly satisfying... what a cool technique. And that's to say nothing for the marvelous musical bed, and the nice warm voice of Maurice. Well done you two!
ttfn,

the cat's out of the bag!
thanks for noticing that little detail - i was thinking of a phase-locked-loop on that - it's sort of symbolic of a person "getting in sync" with ? (something, i don't know, oneself, the divine, the universe?)
Maurice gave me two readings, and i picked the best intonations from each, and then reassembled the whole thing. so i could adjust the timing of his wonderful delivery at will.
the timing was mostly intuition at first, but eventually i saw what was happening and decided to really zero it in at the ending. i actually ended up needing to extend Maurice's voice saying "from" to make it sound right.

PLL or not, &mdash 12/10/07 - 10:06:51 PM
this is a touching encounter with that which speaks to us of something broader than our usual self-concern.
Thanks for the collab folks!
Cheers,
Doug [ Reply to This ]
