Soniccouture has launched the Crowd-Choir project , which they describe as a crowd-source concept of a unique sampler instrument comprised of hundreds of different voices from all around the world.
If successful, the idea is that the resulting instrument will be a huge choral pad, a wash of vocals with all kinds of characters, recorded with all kinds of different equipment, melded into one sound.
A Soniccouture spokesperson told Sonic State, "We don't yet know if it will work or how it might sound - but we're going to give it everything we've got to try to pull it off."
Soniccouture say that all contributors will receive the resulting Crowd-choir instrument free of charge ( in Kontakt, EXS24 & Ableton Live format). The project will run for approx 2 months, ending on 31st March 2012 and one very lucky entrant, selected at random, will win a great prize : a custom-made Array Mbira instrument (worth $2000), used to create Soniccouture's VSTi of the same name. Each note uploaded has one chance to win, so record as many notes as you can.
