dementia13 Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 Yeah, I know they're corny and dated, but my little girl's been watching a Disney movie that has a song of theirs in it, and I've been astonished at listening to them. I can't believe how tight they sound, and this is from a day before Pro Tools, quantization, Auto-Tune. Even multitracking hadn't been invented yet, so they had to hit those tunes solid- live. And they are so dead-on: never off-pitch, swinging furiously, as tight as any big-band horn section. How do they do that? It's like one knows what the others are thinking. I wonder if one hurts, the others feel the pain. I read that they thought so much in harmony that none of them was able to work solo for very long. What freaks, in a good way.

In general, harmonic complexity is inversely proportional to the ratio between chording and non-chording instruments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dementia13 Posted February 4, 2004 Author Share Posted February 4, 2004 A lot of people practiced a lot without getting their uncanny results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Zeger Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 I feel the same way when I hear Lambert, Hendricks, and Ross (but they're not corny or dated). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
