hmmm yes. I have a few times faked a gospel choir with a few good singers with a lot of vibrato and belting it out. We have a decent gospel choir over here as well. But what we lack are those big, black voices and feel. It´s a sound you wont get any other way.
But you guys may be right. It may be impossible to have them singing in icelandic. Even if I´d write it out like this: hey - r hymn-ah-smith-uhr
and it wouldn´t be gospelish enough to have them only singing aaaah- oooooh- aaahhh...
Shame because it would have been a fun trip. I´m always looking for excuse to travel, I went to Bratislava last year to record an orchestra..
thanks for your replies
