Eric Whitacre's Virtual Choir - "Sleep" - The First Eight

[Jnelle4]

I find it crazy that you only have one chica with seven guys! How often does that happen?! But great job! I love it!

[CesarAuMorMol]

Where are the sopranos?

Mmmm... Bass II is hot...

[CHRISTSmusiciansSEA]

WAY WAY WAY COOL Project !

Yeshua Yes We Can ! Sea ?

[SimoPepi11]

are you singin' there also??? :) And what about Jesus?

[steelvenom2003]

I would love to see a video of the first of each of the eight parts mixed together.

But you deserve a break, lol.

[Rockinazn4life]

i like this smaller version of sleep, you get to hear the individual voices better. nice work

[retoricalanswers]

my fav part is "noises". love it

[retoricalanswers]

i love this! im the bass two in the bottom right corner! this is sooooo cool! cant believe im a part of it. cant wait for the full thing (great bass presence!)

[KRedSunshine]

Oh my goodness! This is sick!

Madame Alto 2 adds a really nice tone to it.

Wow! I'm surprised by how amazing this really sounds!

[raznprince]

Awesome-ness!

[EricWhitacresVrtlChr]

4:26 In a couple seconds following.. My favorite part... one person slides up to the next note making an interesting resonance.

[KRedSunshine]

Yeah, that was me, ha. I'm glad it didn't turn out too badly. I was concerned that that little 'mistake' would taint the sound.

[bigdigger87]

Why aren't the ladies representing themselves. The men have this thing on lock and our 1 strong alto holding it down.

[dunte86]

I know right. She is doing her thang!! There is an alto 1 now as well

[EricWhitacresVrtlChr]

There are two new girls adding to the mix. An Alto I, and a Soprano II.

[dunte86]

we almost have all voices now!

[raznprince]

I can imagine how awesome it will sound with all voices!

[bigdigger87]

This is going to be really good once this gets mixed a mastered and edited. I can't wait for the final product.

[dunte86]

I swear i hear sopranos around the climax of the piece. That's either from my headphones, or overtones. I'd like to think overtones :-D

[EricWhitacresVrtlChr]

It's all just you guys... the original track was muted for the rendering.

[dunte86]

Really cool, I wish i knew how to edit audio, i only do video now

[bigdigger87]

So I am getting really inspired by this experience. I wish we could do a guys piece as well.

[EricWhitacresVrtlChr]

There is also a men's version of Lux Aurumque in print.

[alnya]

Great job! This is going to be fantastic

[EricWhitacresVrtlChr]

I'm curious as to how many are going to do this in the end. I hope there aren't more than a hundred.. haha

s

[dunte86]

I doubt that many will do it. I know of maybe 2 more people that i told to do it that should pretty soon. One is a soprano! I hope she does it. I was talking with mwansahh and was trying to do a little editing experiment of my own with my software. but you clearly beat me. I don't know how to download youtube vids :-(

[EricWhitacresVrtlChr]

it was actually kind of hard to do in the beginning, due to a glitch that occurs when you do it, but I found a way around it. There are a few different ways you can do it.

In the end, the sound will be much better... I didn't touch the EQ much other than to get rid of ambient sounds, rumbles and pops.

[Mwansahh]

Great job, Scottie!! Wow! That must have taken a LOT of work :)
