Hey guys! I just want to make it clear that obviously the range of the orchestra is significantly larger than the range of the human voice, so for the very high and low bits I did pitch shift my voice to get it there. Anyways I hope you enjoy the video!

"This is getting out of hand. Now there is an orchestra of them!"

It's hard to imagine a world before the internet, a time when I couldn't look up one man singing the entire Duel of the Fates.

I'm just imagining his neighbours hearing him record every part of this over the course of several hours and wondering wtf he was doing

The neighbors are probably like: “ Hide the kids ”

Me: “Is it possible to learn this power?”

This guy: “Not from an instrumentalist.”

Everyone: “This is called a capella.”

Matthew Van Ness: “I call it a voice orchestra.”

Let’s just acknowledge the actual amount of effort that had to go into this. To record every instrument individually, song each and every note of every instrument, then lay it all over perfectly. Pure perfection. Then to know every instrument as well,

Teacher: Don't make any noise, when i'm gone, ok class?
The whole class literally 0.005 miliseconds after the teacher leaves:

But, my lord. It’s only one man.

I feel a disturbance in the force. As if thousands of souls started singing Duel Of The Fates.

"Hey do you want to go out later tonight?"
I would love to but I can't, I need to create sing different parts of Duel of the Fates at least 50 times to recreate my own orchestra
