I'm looking for 6 to 8 people who would be interested in contributing some primal shouts and short aggressive vocal gesticulations. These recordings would be used for my HAMMER[SCAPE] project and full credit would be given for the work.

Currently, I'm thinking that the participants would be referred to as "Primal Choir" in the album credits with each artist name being listed under that heading. As a token payment I'd be happy provide a promotional link to your website on the HAMMER[SCAPE] website so that people who visit the site or buy the music can go on to investigate your other works, etc. Traffic to the site is already good despite the fact that nothing has been officially released.

Essentially, I'm needing a bunch of creative grunts, growls, and especially shouts along the lines of "yih" "no" "hai" "ga" "ko" and other short one-note unpitched sounds. Once things get rolling, I might need specific words shouted, but for now I just need nonsense words. I'm not looking for the typical 'oohs and ahhs' of a traditional choir because I already have more of that stuff than I can shake a stick at. Though it's a subjective promise, my goal is to combine your work into some pieces that you'd be proud to be a part of. You'd be helping me obtain a wider palette of vocalizations than I can make by myself using only my voice.

If you'd like to volunteer, please just respond to this thread and let me know that you'll do it. Then I'll contact you and let you know where you can FTP your files and crediting info when you're ready. I'm hoping to get the recordings as 24 bit wave files with no effects added other than perhaps a bit of compression to help you get the best sonic control over your performance. Obviously, they would need to be recorded well and pre-trimmed so that I can easily preview and categorize them.

I could be up for this, sounds like a laugh.

I'll try and talk my mate Aust into having a go as well, since he can do some semi convincing Cat noises, which could be interesting.

I'm surprised the universe is still here, too. But in the meantime, let's make some noise.

Yeah man, I'll give it a go. When do you need these for though? I'll be back in London on the 25th of July where I can use my universities recording studio - they have some decent mic's and a vocal booth that I could use.

Thanks! There's no outside pressure. For my own momentum's sake, I'd like to have the whole choir by mid August or so. Hopefully that will work for everyone's schedule, but I'm flexible.

wanna sing in the "Primal Choir" ???
