Melody Construction (Original, Flipped, Mirrored, Flipped & Mirrored) ||: HHV Ep 2-3
This week I look at vocal texture variation using in-sync harmony, motifs, emotional vocal delivery, and rhythmic layering. And we hear full songs from The Devil Music Co., Wood Hitch, Grant Smith, and The Freak Fandango Orchestra. In Hits and Hooks Vignettes, we play some great tunes and lift the hood to see what makes them tick. HHV is a music podcast about how songs keep listeners engaged through hooks, structure, and subtle musical decisions.
