"But there is metal in that sound" What the interviewer just experienced, i have experienced myself too, you have to be there in the room with the oktavist, to be able to hear it, you can't hear it through recording. The thing you can't hear, is the weight and the scale of the bass, i've heard the Kiev chamber choir, that featured two oktavist's that easily sang Bb1's, i was sitting front row, both oktavist were 2-3 meters away from my seat. Each time they hit anything below F2, it was completely surreal, there WAS metal in the sound, it was almost like each single 'click' from the vocal chords, were delivered with a transient deep pluck, and the bass filled the room in a way, that it seemed like the bass wasn't coming from their bodies (this was not an amplified concert, completely acoustical) So when he says 1:54 " But there is metal in that sound " That would make a lot more sense, why he seems so bewildered, if you had the chance to experience it yourself! because, *Yes* it is completely surreal! and extremely impressive! *Whoever can do these notes, is an oktavist, whoever can't ´want's to* -Vladimir Miller

The same effect can be found in the chesnokovs Tebe Poem on YtouTube, People looking around around the church Overwhelmed by the overtones coming from 2 oktavists( Wichniakov and Miller), it has to be a transformative experience.

Hard to keep the Russian stoic look at some points. At least Miller knows how to smile.

Well, I suppose it should have been explcitly mentioned by the author: an octavist can be a "foundation" of a choir, but has nothing to do with a classical opera. And Miller is a good example of the latter, when he tries to sing "some opera" (transposed deep down) 😲

What's the opeoning song?

@Eowyn77 5 жыл бұрын

I'm afraid, I don't know. The song starting at 0:29 could a snippet from the "Cherubic Hymn" from Rachmaninoffs Chrysostomos, maybe in a little bit different arrangement, I think Miller is adding a bass line here that I don't hear in other recordings. But about the first piece I have no clue, I'm afraid.

What an idiot I am... it is of course Cheznokov's Ne otverzhi mene - Do not reject me in my old age. I must've heard that song about a thousand times, I don't know why I didn't recognize it earlier :-/
