    Neat little idea from composer/conductor Eric Whitacre, using a virtual choir from people from all around the intertubes.

    Any of our boardsies take part?

    Just go on the piss the night before! :D

    Nice piece.....but the reverb sounds so fake (which, I suppose, in fairness it has to be).

    I have been known to sing lower than that the morning after a night of drinking... ;)

    I hit a low Bb after 3 nights of heavy drinking and singing tenor carols (i'm a baritone)!

    Its the lowest I've ever hit, and it scared the **** out of me! :eek:

    What about yourself?

    Think I've hit B-flat or A before, I have a video somewhere of myself and my friend singing low notes some morning! I'll dig it out if I can find it.

    A friend of mine who is a very low bass said one morning after drinking he sang what he thinks must be one of the lowest notes ever. His whole house shook with it!!

    Norrdeth—I'm jealous! I've got Cs and C-sharps on rare occasions (not drink-related!), but on a very good day I can only sing a D if I'm lucky!
