Backwards singing; it’s as cool as it sounds (wait for it…).
A cute picture of backwards singing.
I’m currently in the final stages of putting up some new music; my first track that can actually be called a song. (Songs mean singing…and I’m very bashful about my singing…Oh man…I’m coming so far outside of my comfort zone for this new track.) Anyway, I’m resetting the text, “O Sacred Head, Now Wounded,” with some poppy electronica flavors (I mean, really far outside my comfort zone). I’m not using the tune; just the words.
Most songs in this genre use highly processed vocal parts (no words…like scat!…techno scat…) somewhere in the song. The first thing I like to do when messing around with audio files is to play them backwards. I’ve never really listened to backwards singing before. I was stunned by how awesome it sounds!
I don’t want to give too much away about this new track (it’s going to be sweet). But I did want to isolate some backwards singing so that you all could enjoy it with me:
Cool, huh? And now I’m sharing this awesome Mutemath video for obvious reasons.
