Seb Bach Notes

SEBASTIAN BACH

Keep mouth relaxed

NG exercise – soft palet  in 5ths

Making round coming out nose

For high note start on the NG then switch over to the opening up

Judith says pinpoint then open up things behind it

Pitch tighter.

RASPING without tension

Vocal distortion – delicate coordination, Tibetan throat singers

Lots of support

Pressing of diapraham

Contract and release onseting

Pushing down and out adding twang

Overlay distortion – frosting onto of the sound.

Apply vocal twang - Damping layrnyx – leverage tongue against back of the teeth – engage anchoring – hold it in side a closed embsure then release it.

Contract and release

Octave sweep

Relax glotas…… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxs65tnMTPQ

QUICKSAND JESUS

She caught the melting sky

It burned but still the winter passes by and by

To the other side

(taking the root out of the  and singing around the verses)

clouds round the words

A slow parade of wind

That blows through trees

That wilted with the season´s children (exapand on children)

Are we saved by the words of bastard saints? (ensure there is space and use NDA we saved)(ZAAAwe saved)

Aou are in the back of mouth)

Do we live in fear or faith?

Tell me now who´s behind the rain (rain over and out palet on constant lift)

A maze of tangled grace

The symptoms of ´for real´

Are crumbling from embrace

But still we chase...

The shadows of belief  ( not flat e sound use uuuhhh for e)

And new religion clouds our visions of the roots

Of our souls

Are we ashamed of our own fate? (DUNDEE ACCENT)

Or play the fool for our own sake?

Tell me who´s behind the rain (MAGNET PULLS UP THE SOUND)

What do we need? Where do we go?

When we get where we don´t know

Why should we doubt the virgin white of fallen snow?

When faith's our shelter from the cold

(Solo)

Oh, ooh whoa...

What do we need? Where do we go?

When we get where we don´t know

Why should we doubt the virgin white of fallen snow?

When faith's our shelter from the cold

Quicksand Jesus I´m so far away

Without you

Quicksand Jesus I´m so far away

Without you, oh ooh whoa oh...

Quicksand Jesus I´m so far away

Quicksand Jesus I´m so far away

Quicksand Jesus I need you

Quicksand Jesus I believe you

Quicksand Jesus I´m so far away... Take me away

Flat keys why singers sound better

Support muscles slight tilting posture for this song

When singing a high note get another instrument to play the octave below to support the note.

Lot of stretching of the vocal chords lift and tilt

Hyoid bones taking the chords forward – serious bit of kit that srecth forward and up to elongate the chords further.

NG exercise – roof of mouth
