For the past 4 years or so I've been singing a certain way that I seem to be stuck in. It seems like everything I sing has a very indian(dot not feather) vibe to it.
For instance...to make things simple...imagine that a guitar was playing just a drone note on the A string. Just A through the whole thing....well, I would probably find myself singing somthing a vocal melody that if played on guitar would be played on the 4th D string and would start on the 7th fret and progress like this:
7 7 14 14 9 9 10 10/12 10 9 5/7 2 0 2/8 7
A A E E B B C C/D C B G/A E D E/A# A
ive noticed that Alice in Chains does this a bit....not alot, but to some extent. Godsmack as well....but that's due to copying AIC..
Well, I was watching TV today and the video for Incubus's new song "Warning" came on. Their previous 2 singles have just been terrible, but this one was pretty decent. One thing I noticed is that their lead singer(brandon whatever) did some very similar vocal melodies. They had a veery indianesque sound to them. It sounds like the kind of stuff I do...only less pop-rockish..
Does anyone else here seem to be stuck in certain intervals? I do....Everything I do sounds Egyptian or Indian..even on guitar. I want to do somthing different!!!!!! While it does sound cool and gives me a different style it also kind of limits what I can do. But it seems that no matter what I do i cant get out of it....
also...what is it about the sequence of notes i listed above that make it sound "indian"?? I mean, there has to be a reason..i guess.
