You Need To Hear Tara Bush Cover Sabbath's War Pigs

US Minimal and visceral 09/07/19

Tara Busch - the LA based electronic musician, singer and songwrite just got in touch to let us know about her latest monthly cover - of Black Sabbath's "War Pigs". An unlikely choice I'm sure you'll agree, but Ms Busch gives it a visceral treatment.

The Oberheim’s sequencer loops menacingly over a thick drone provided by the ARP. The high vocal (which mirrors Tony Iommi’s guitar riff from the original) is sung through the MS20’s External Signal Processor. Finally, the crunchy, lo-fi style vocal is created with a Bastard Electronics BM-88 microphone.

Using just an Arp Odyssey, Oberheim 2-voice SEM and an MS20 which is used to process the voice using pitch tracking and input processing. A technique also used to great effect by Goldfrapp in "Lovely Head".
