I'm posting this in Sample Talk rather than Member Compositions since the interesting thing isn't the composition itself, but the experiment in seeing what happens when you mix multiple choirs.
Here's the piece:
Into which I've stuffed:
Spitfire Labs choir - wonderful texture with an evo like shifting quality (the full version of which sits in my wish list ... if only I hadn't already gone so crazy with sample libraries throughout the year)
Time Macro - used more subtly here for harmonies, but a very distinctive
Venus - Less sure about how this mixes, but the legato is nice.
Vocalize 2 - using a "rhythmic pad". Moves us more into sound design / hybrid territory, but wanted to see how far I could push this while still keeping an orchestral (or at least somewhat organic) feel. Probably a bit much, but I was having fun with it.
At some point it started to feel like the choral-mixing equivalent of the perennial question: "how many choirs can you fit into a Volkswagen". But as I say - this was an experiment in mixing - trying to chase downs issues that were popping up when mixing choirs in less silly extremes.
Still pondering the result to see if it left me with an communicable insights into mixing choirs ...
In the mean time, wondering if anyone would have and thoughts or criticisms or demos or examples, noodles or maybe even actual compositions to share that involve mixing multiple choirs.
