I am working on the Easter broadcast. I have a proposed strategy for the production of the audio files to produce the musical equivalent of the range of voices already being exploited in the installation
- live or recorded singing by me – very rare or never
- Live or recorded singing by me processed by the TC Helicon vocal processor – i like the cheesy results
- recorded musical extracts – already tried and tested but does bother me a bit there is something cheap about sticking in tunes – also issues about the rights – i think they sound better if they are ‘vintaged.’
- midi versions of songs and classics – i rather like this its quite kitschy and eliminates the rights issues
- midi versions of songs subsequently processed with the Yamaha XG editor – interesting detuning type results – needs to pass through a slightly complex arrangement of old hardware and software
- audio to midi converted versions of songs and classics – this is very interesting as it creates a very flawed clone – i can use Melodyne audio to midi (in Pro Tools) to do it polyphonically or digital ear (old windows software) monophonically
- and of course any old mixture of the above.
proposed palette
- me speaking live (Christopher)
- me speaking recorded (Chris)
- me speaking recorded shadowed by midi derived from audio to midi (Chris + midi)
- me recoded singing + TC helicon (Chris +Helicon)
- Cereproc voice (Kit)
- vintaged recordings of music (Music + distressed)
- midi versions of music (Music + midi)
- xg midi versions of music (Music + XG)
- audio to midi versions of music (Music + Melodyne)
