Sometimes you'll find me strumming a guitar. Sometimes humming random vocal harmonies. Recording my little musical experiments.
Mr. Blue Sky - Hidden Harmonies - Deconstructing the Electric Light Orchestra
One of my favorite songs and one of the most famous feel-good songs ever. Mr. Blue Sky is a clear example of how vocal layers can turn a strong melody into a vocal - and a choral - masterpiece.
As there is so much going on, it was very difficult to filter out from the original mix all the single harmonies - be it by ear or by using a software. Some notes (especially endings) are so buried down in the mix, that I had to "fill in the blanks".
This complexity really shows us the capability of Jeff Lynne to come up with such great vocal arrangements. Headphones on and enjoy!

The Chain - Hidden Harmonies - Deconstructing Fleetwood Mac
Переглядів 45 тис.2 роки тому
With the Rumours album turning 45 today, I thought it would be interesting to deconstruct one of the most representative songs by Fleetwood Mac (and one of my all time favorites), The Chain. This analysis is based on the studio recording. Compared to my other deconstruction video, which was about ABBA, this song features less layers. However, what really catches my attention is the interchangea...
Knowing Me, Knowing You - Hidden Harmonies - Deconstructing ABBA's Multi-Layered Vocals
Переглядів 61 тис.3 роки тому
Multi-layered vocal harmonies are ABBA's distinctive feature. The chorus of "Knowing Me, Knowing You" is the perfect example of their massive work in the recording studio, which resulted in gorgeous, solid and sometimes hidden harmonies - i.e. buried in the final mix. After isolating and analyzing ABBA's vocals by ear, I recorded each and every part featured in the chorus, trying to recreate th...
Lemon Tree - Reggae Cover (One-Woman Band)
Переглядів 1,1 тис.3 роки тому
Reggae cover of "Lemon Tree" by Fool's Garden. A fun attempt to record a song turning my acoustic guitar into three different instruments (bass, electric guitar and synth-like fills) - plus vocals. The royalty-free drum loop featured in the video is available at www.wikiloops.com/backingtrack-jam-59375.php ("Reggae Beat 75 Bpm"). Headphones recommended. Enjoy!
This is so helpful! thank you
Great and interesting!!! 👍
thank you!
One of the most impressive videos I’ve seen on UA-cam. Thank you. I played this song as a radio DJ in 1978 and this song, along with “Name of the Game” made me a lifelong ABBA fan. ABBA is to the 70s what The Beatles were to the 60s. Masterful songwriting combined with the highest levels of musicianship.
Yes
Vevonica... your voice spectrum is amazing... and so your ear! Congratulations and thank you!! Can you do more Abba songs? What about Eagle? Fernando?
I’m actually surprised it’s not 2 or 3 layers more. Thanks for the demonstration! 🎉
Awesome!!
Fantastic. Thank you! Any chance you could pair with Keyboard and isolate that as well?
Very cool. Subscribed.
Brilliant and enlightening as to the magic of ABBA. You sound amazing. Watched this many times in a row!
Except Lindsey is definitely singing lead not Stevie
Can you do Angeleyes?? This is great 😊
Absolutely spot on. The high harmony at “…breaking up is never easy…” is beautiful. ❤
Exelente chica!! Felicidades Dios te bendiga grandemente 🙏 amen amen!!🎉
Thanks . Great job. I could never work out the high harmonies.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Fantastic, Great Job!!
Sounds great, but you end your first line of Stevie on a C (so on the word 'rise'), which, together with the other vocals, makes it into a C major chord. I'm pretty sure that Stevie ends on a B, making it an E minor chord. Both sound nice, but if you want to give an exact rendition, I'm pretty sure you should sing a B note there.
Randomly stumbled upon your page. This is so sick! You have a great voice. You should do the hidden harmonies of Africa by Toto!!
we want more Abba harmonics!
Nice work
Beautifully done! Bravo.

Erm seek a better singer. No disrespect meant.
Thank you! You just saved me hours of work. This is so great xx
Thankyou VEVOnica. Each of the one of you ones. Really helpful
AMAZING VIDEO AND GREAT VOICE. I just want to add one thing on the technical side. Forgive me if I'm overstepping or hearing things incorrectly but I think you kept the same volume throughout the different voices. But sounds panned to the right and left tend to pop more and draw all the focus from the center. So it could sound better if you turned down the right and left voices just a tad bit. Such a cool video tho.
Wow, what a voice ! I'm impressed that you can change your voice so much. So interesting to hear how the voices build up wonderful music.
Are Stevie's, Lindsey's, and Christine's vocals separated by an octave in the harmonies, or are they in different keys?
Fantastic, I just love your video
Utterly brilliant.
Wow. Brilliant work. 👌🏽
This is insanely good!! Thank you so much for explaining how the magic works :)
Amazing work!!!
Thank you so much!!
nailed it
Perfect! This is exactly how it should be done! Thanks so much.
Currently rehearsing this for a gig and you have saved my life thank you
Listen to the wind blow, watch the sun rise Running in the shadows, damn your love, damn your lies And if you don't love me now You will never love me again I can still hear you saying You would never break the chain (never break the chain) And if you don't love me now (you don't love me now) You will never love me again I can still hear you saying (still hear you saying) You would never break the chain (never break the chain)
Always loved this song! Great video!
Wish there were a lot more videos like this! Pop music can contain surprisingly intricate harmonies. When you hear a good one you never forget it - trying to understand is really important for composing and producing. Thanks very much
Ok
Very cool video! Watching this makes me think I can sing Lindsey Buckingham’s part but for some reason when I hear the actual song it sounds higher. Am I hearing something wrong?
Do you have any plans on doing more songs? Do you have any other social media sites?
Well done! So many of these are just done in Melodyne, great to hear one sung.
Very well thought thru and deconstructed.
If there's one thing I really love, it's VOCAL HARMONY! It's wonderful, showing how all the parts work and also how complete harmony works! And it's worth highlighting the singer's beautiful voice and range! congratulations on the work! And keep showing this deconstruction of harmonies!
It is wrong. Stevie Voice and Lindsey Voice are the opposite of The ones in the video.
It is right the way she sings it, listen carefully.
Amazing 👍
Great thanks!
