New Tune: A Lie Is A Lie

| Share

So I tried something new…

Please note that I was asking my computer to do a lot of multitasking when I recorded this little snippet, so excuse the fact it sounds like it’s about to blow in the bkg. It’s not.

A few notes while you listen to the tune. The chorale part in the middle of the tune was a real ball breaker for me. That kind of took all of Saturday and Saturday night to figure out what the harmonies would be and to sing them and get the harmonies just right. There are 9 individual tracks for it and many little pieces inside those 9 tracks aka House Of Cards. I haven’t sung that high since I was 10 and in the Racine All City Choir. I still am not convinced they are just right (read: perfect) but I am currently working on progress not perfection otherwise NOTHING ever gets done. That was easy to type. Not so easy to put into action.

Anyway, I can’t believe I am admitting this, but I had TSO’s Christmas Canon in mind when I came up with this bridge of the song. I will admit, however, that I love Christmas music. Not TSO, however. Sorry. Just that song. I also love the sound of boys choirs and choral music in general and since I don’t have a choir on hand to sing what I need, I’ll utilize digital multitrack recording to its fullest. Should I be concerned that I sound like a choir full of 10 year old boys? I’m still on the fence about that.

So, hope you enjoy. Both the song and the moving pictures of my world.

Nice! Really fun, especially considering my treadmill just happened to be set to a speed that matched the beat. Did a little dancing and imaging of a video to this one.

Ahem.
