What we did want to do was really do get into the underbelly of Queen and how they worked together and how they put these amazing library of songs together. Home News. Martin Kielty Published: July 11, Next: Top 10 Queen Songs.
Filed Under: Freddie Mercury , Queen. He seemingly had a complete mastery of his voice, from the loudest to the most quiet performance intensities, and from the purest to the most pressed, harsh vocal tones.
It is this quality that places him in the most elite group of vocal performers in the history of recording production. We take for granted a huge range of vocal performance intensity the musical dynamics or loudness of the performance when recorded and timbre sound quality in modern recordings.
In modern studios, we have the benefit of digital audio systems, but back then, this was still done with multitrack tape. Like a screen actor, the vocalist must deliver a range of performances, all with an ear toward the final edited product. The changes in loudness from the range of performance intensity during recording are controlled with dynamics processors and mixing.
The changes in timbre are kept in an aesthetically desirable range with various signal processors and recording techniques. Through the judicious use of these technologies, a broader range of expression is available, and the vocalist and producer can make artistic use of that broader palette.
Mercury delivers a huge range of emotions, conveyed with significant changes in timbre and performance intensity. We've seen a few different musically inspired films follow Bohemian Rhapsody. Only the Elton John movie Rocketman is a straight biopic in the same way, but Yesterday and Blinded by the Light each use the music of a specific band or artist, The Beatles and Bruce Springsteen respectively in this case, to tell a story.
