Singing ALL PARTS from the Carolina Crown 2017 Hornline Opener Hit | JMB Music

This Month's release is a bit different... I covered the ending of the famous Carolina Crown 2017 performance. This video is all my voice and there's no pitch shifting happening here. Though pitch correction had to be used to get a clean sound. Pushing this far into the limits of your voice (6 full octaves of range) makes things a little bit pitchy here and there. With that out of the way I hope you'll enjoy this special performance of Gods Hornline!

Wow, I'd never even thought about hearing a choral version of a horn section. Now you've got me wanting to hear the "Carolina Crown drops the hammer in Houston" warmup that went viral a couple of years ago.

[@jmbmusic1]

I will do another hornline video later this year… I still have to decide which performance to cover though… but I’ll put this one on the list :)

[@WesRowe]

CC's DTH in Houston is great. Consider the end of CC's 2013 tuning sequence which is more interesting to listen to, esp if you include some of the dynamics. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmPIonV_fLdnm7ssi=oMrC1-t6hFvPh44B&t=94

[@bradyschoch7562]

Yooo!! Dude, the high's, low's, and everything in between is INSANITY!! Love the dissonance in the chords! Also, probably the biggest range you displayed in a short song and, of course, the most parts as well! Well done, my man! Looking forward to the next one!

@@jonmurphy2564 Well, through Discord servers like the „Bass Singing Nation“ I made some online friends in this online a cappella community. At some point either me or one of my friends decides to do a collaboration and the idea is proposed. Usually we accept and then get more into detail about what exactly we are covering. Often the person planning the project then sends out demo tracks for the other(s) to record their part to. Then we figure out what to do with the video and record that as well. It‘s actually not that hard, you just gotta have people who are willing to invest the time in this sort of stuff. But great things can come out of it.
