Chorus of the Dead - First time using live recorded vocal pieces.

Featured Replies

Hi all! I hope the end of your year is going well. In my continued adventures of learning composing, I am coming today with something new!

This time, my first time composing a song and recording live vocals for it. (Unfortunately I'm the performer, haha!) Aside from that I have used by usual VSTs in FL Studio.

I improvised the main vocal part and built the song around it, kept looping it to add my harmonies and additional parts...and recording new sections when needed to supplement. Since this song is largely an experiment, it's a bit shorter than my usual. I just wanted to bring it here first and see what feedback this amazing forum has! I always look forward to the discussions and feedback. It has been a great help along my composing journey!

Thank you for taking the time to read my post and listen to this piece!

The opening part sounds really effective the shimmering high violins and your voice! Are those high notes sung by you too?

The 2nd part sounds more medieval with those parallels, but the horrible aura returns at the end. I like it.

Sad you don't submit this wonderfully scary piece in @chopin's Halloween Challenge!

Thx for sharing!

Thanks, Henry! Glad to hear you enjoyed...or were creeped out by the piece! My goal was to make something eerie and spooky...and yes. If I had the idea then I certainly would have submitted it!

The high notes are me! All kind of improvised and dubbed over with myself as the piece developed.

Appreciate you taking the time to listen!
