Hi, posting some of the singing i did with my choir in the soundtrack to the film Sleepy Hollow as a request from some people in the chat room. it was recorded in 1998.

i have a solo in "Young Ichobad" where it turns into a duet where i take top line and a friend of my mine sings with me on the bottom line.

the rest is just small things recorded and mixed in.

Enjoy

Beautiful!!!! I have never heard this music, nor have I ever seen this movie before, but I love it! Some beautiful singing there, I don't know anything about singing (I only have half an hour lessons, since october or something, and didn't have any interest in it before that at all). You really have the creepy voice here that this needs imo, great work!

Young Ichabod is my fav of the 4 ;).

I'm just at the conservatory, so I have choir (at a low level, but we sing some really cool pieces) and at my school you automatically have to do singing lessons for half an hour a week (the conservatory I go to is very strict on vocal stuff, we even have Gregorian). I'm a beginner bass, I can go to a D easily, but already have problems with a c' ;).

I really like singing in a choir, and I love listening to singing, must be my favourite instrument ;).


And what do you know, Spiderman happens to be one of my fav movies. I only knew Danny Elfman from the Simpsons theme heh.

im not so keen on the music from men in black  ;D  but i guess that was a starting point. it was an older film. i did singing for other films, but not any others with Danny Elfman. i met John Williams.
