Description
Back in October 2006, Will (aka teptep) posted ’tepthing’- an achingly beautiful acappella melody.
What particularly struck me about ‘tepthing’ is the sincerity and passion with which teptep sang this tune- I found myself humming the melody day after day and after a brief email exchange, Will, kindly gave his permission for me to attempt an arrangement of ‘tepthing’ which he rerecorded for this collaboration. We agreed to rename ‘tepthing’ ‘ A Song Without Words’-I've since re-titled it 'Vpcalise', given that is exactly what a 'song without words' (if there is a solo vocal track)....
Will is very humble about his talents. He is an artist who sings from the soul and possesses an uncanny spontaneous ability to create gorgeous melodies.
I thank Will for entrusting me with his voice (yet again) and I hope that I’ve done the tune some justice!
Although this has been submitted under the ‘Classical’ genre, I offer this as a very ‘loose’ term and any other suggestions will be gratefully appreciated!
Teptep’s original vocal line was sung ‘freeform’ and without accompaniment, apart from some ‘cleaning up’ of the original vocal mix, the rhythmic and harmonic arrangement was created around Will’s phrasing and melody respectively, without any alteration to his voice.
The photo of the Merimbula sky at dusk was taken from our backyard on a balmy February evening in 2007 earlier this year.
