Alchemist/Melbourne question.

[requiem]

For those at the Melbourne Opeth show, from what album was the second track Alchemist played? It was the one that had that massive musical interlude with the really high pitched vocals on the chorus.

That song blew me away (as did many others) and I want to part with money for it.

 

[Magisterial]

Chinese Whispers I believe... off the Spiritech album, well worth parting with your money for!!

 

[Winmar]

Yep, that'd be Chinese Whispers!

 

[Clarky]

hehe man too bad those hi pitched vocals are pitch shifted, i thought he acctully did em
oh well
still a mad song!

 

[Winmar]

What does pitch shifting involve, Clarky?

 

[KoichCPA]

Shifting the Pitch I beilive winny

 

[Winmar]

Haha that explains all then, informative Koichi!

 

[Goreripper]

You have to ruin everything, don't you Clarky? Berzerker's drums are triggered, Adam's vocals are pitch shifted. BLah blah blah. You're a fucking spoilsport, you are.

 

[Pork Rind Toes]

Haha, youve ruined its impact for me too now. But still, such a great song it is.

 

[Clarky]

You have to ruin everything, don't you Clarky? Berzerker's drums are triggered, Adam's vocals are pitch shifted. BLah blah blah. You're a fucking spoilsport, you are.

so i guess i would spoil it for u if i also told u cock and ball torture's vocals are pitch shifted as well

 

[Goreripper]

Personally, I don't care much for Cock and Ball Torture, but if that's your thing, more power to you.

 

[Winmar]

But what is pitch shifting?!

 

[Chow Mai Dong]

Geeez, heh, it just means increasing or decreasing the pitch of a sound.

Are you sure Adam does that to his vocals though? Cause it's not something that's physically impossible to do (albeit fucking difficult)... plus I've heard him change that chorus so it gradually goes from screaming to shouting, I kinda imagine that'd be difficult to do without making it bloody obvious he was doing something to his voice.
