Invisible Light [cover] - with vocals by Von Fenton

An avant-garde cover of the Scissor Sisters' Invisible Light.

All sounds were created and recorded as part of a multimedia project replacing the music and sounds in the original video (vimeo.com/17871386). The idea of the multimedia project was to compliment the visuals with audio that directly related to what was happening on screen. The idea of this cover was to use the newly recorded audio to recreate the video and the concept of the song without using any of the melody or original music.

An 'instrumental' version, without the spoken-word lyrics, is available here:

90% of the vocal sounds were made by Von Fenton (soundcloud.com/von-fenton), the rest by me. Von Fenton's vocals were recorded through an AKG C1000s and an AKG C414 XLS into Pro Tools. My vocal noises and field recordings were recorded on a Zoom H4n.

Most of the sounds were cut up in Audacity and loaded into a Korg Electribe SX. The main spoken word vocals were cut up in Audacity, and played on a Roland SP555, which fed into a Korg Kaoss pad, and back into the Electribe.

A thousand thanks to Von for her fantastic vocal work and wonderful reading of the song lyrics.
