Title: Excelsior (Expanded)
Post by: SLD Music on January 29, 2013, 10:00:54 PM
For those of you who rmemeber this, and for those that don't... Here is the original thread where I introduced this song several months ago.

http://www.kara-moon.com/forum/index.php?topic=6702.0

I thought I'd create a new topic because... well the song is wildly different now.

In the original thread, I threatened to expand this a bit and rework it.  Well, I've done that.  My 30 second (WAY too hotly mastered) song has now turned into a 2 minute accapella choral arrangement.  The mp3 is attached, and for those who want a little video with their music, here's a link to a youtube video I did for it.

I also documented the entire process of doing the final arrangement, recording and mixing of this song.  I plan to put up a video series on youtube going through my process from arranging the song for TTBB choir, and then recording it, fixing it, mixing it and finishing it.  I have a lot of editing to do, so it'll be another couple weeks before that's done.

Meanwhile, here's the end result....

Wow...really enjoyed the video,as the video production was equally impressive as is the song! (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-music030.gif) (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys.php)

I haven't listened to the MP3 yet...it's 2:00AM and I am done for.I'll catch the end result later. (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-sleep018.gif) (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys.php)

Thank you so much for the encouragement, Thom.  This is something (the video integration) I've wanted to do for a long time--finally had the perfect song to do it with.

Thanks for watching / listening. :)

Very nicely done. The vid fits nicely too. Like the cloudscape after you've made all the introductions.

Great stuff, Scott.
Video is really well done.
I've made quite a few now with those multiple shots and know what a pain they can be to line up.
Excellent work.
