Diverje featuring Chiasm

I spent all last weekend recording vocals for the Diverje track I'd mentioned previously, and I'm finally really happy with it, a few tweaks and it's done! They'd given me an instrumental track to work with and asked me to provide vocals, and it became a much more involved project on my end..the song was a challenge in that it periodically changes keys, has several bridge/breaks to rearrange the flow, and it took me a while to figure out what was best to do with it. I started by recording simply background vocals with no lyrics, and later sampled them, added some interesting effects, loaded them into my sampler, then programmed a track and synched my sequencer back to my hard disk recorder to insert them back in the song as I saw fit. Then I proceeded to record several layers of vocals with lyrics to complete the song. The process really was kind of backwards, but I learned some new tricks and I guess that's the luxury of writing as you go. It turned out pretty great, you'll hear it soon, it's a dancy one. :)
