You're wanting off the wall so this one should do it and apparently they have been steadily incarnating ever since so they are still swingling.
Ed: you could do this with a sampler!
Yah, and you should be murdered for doing it.
Sampling is recording any period of music, usually short, and you would sample each singer when he or she sings one note. After that note has been sampled, it can be pitch-shifted to whatever you like or you record more samples at different pitches for greater accuracy. In that way, a synth, Ableton, etc can swingle sing all night long.
Ed: are we really going into is it real or is it Memorex?
Nah, you already did.
This calls for some hard nose as this style of a cappella singing shouldn't be coming from a machine. It's just fookin' wrong.
As far as I knew, the Swingle Singers were hip for a time in the Sixties and then they faded away but it seems they're still gigging and it's not a sound which would get me driving five hours to the show but it still has coolness.
Ed: but only with meat people doing it?
Roger that.
