Siren's Song

Description

Collaboration between Wharmton Rise and Lori Cunningham.

I wanted to get back to my operatic/classical training and I love vocalizing songs. The vocals were originally recorded for another track, but that collaboration fell through. I sent them to Wharmton Rise (a friend from OurStage.com) to see what he could do with them. He messed and spliced and changed pitches for a neat effect while adding his own ingenious instrumentation and mixing to the table.

siren song
this is incredibly full and lush, deep sounds, flowing and full of great sonic textures - not the least of which is your gorgeous voice. again you have managed to use your voice as part of the whole - another instrument added to this beautifully composed piece. Wharmton Rise did an excellent job with the music moving underneath and around you. I loved the harp. an excellent piece of music. i really love songs with no lyrics - lets me totally immerse myself in the sound of your voice without having to worry about listening for what you're saying. very very cool stuff.

Lovely arrangement...
I really like the choice of instruments... particularly the guitar and harp. But that voice.... powerful, alluring, all the things a siren should be. This harkens back to some really fine operatic bands in the late 80s/ early 90s (Cocteau Twins, Vas, Miranda Sex Garden, etc.) - but with a definite contemporary thrust. This is very mature work... and I'm glad you have joined us on MacJams!

lush
Trained is absolutely right, and quite evident in your vocalizing here.

You are a nice add to the macjams community and it won't be long now, before your schedule is suddenly filled with collabs people will have recruited you for.

Well, if you wanted to keep your tonsils in shape, this be the place.

Thanks for leaving this magnificent siren song that pulled me in for a listen........you rock.

	confluence it melts a beautiful analog voice onto a beautiful digital ocean. it is easy to drown in this beauty. i hold my breath and submerge. the light dims. the music washes away my fear of death. the harp carries away safety. darkness descends. i am lost. 0x0 Check out my latest song called futatsu 0x01
