From the work of Bobby McFerrin and his vocal orchestra – Voicestra http:\/\/www.bobbymcferrin.com<\/a><\/em> Circle Song<\/strong><\/p>\n One person gives out repeating parts to the groups.<\/p>\n Find parts by first singing what’s inside, then refining to find a motor part. Harmony is good. Look for spaces in the motor part to interlock new parts.<\/p>\n Find parts by first solo-ing over what is already created. The person giving out the parts can then solo over the foundation they have created.<\/p>\n Solo-ist can then step out and let another person solo and\/or create new parts…<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

\nPlay with rhythm – try putting 3 over 4 or try something in an odd rhythm like 5\/4, 7\/8, 9\/8
\nPlay with tonality – use some unusual harmonies, try notes that may not be the “first choices”
\nPlay with language – try using some sounds you don’t always use; experiment with different consonants; imagine you’re speaking a language you don’t know but have a sound in your ear eg. french, russian, italian, etc.<\/p>\n
