KEY IDEAS to plunder

1. artificial tremelo effect – like Butthole Surfers ‘The Hurdy Gurdy Man’
2. stops suddenly

• spoken word samples as basis for lead vox and/or song structure
• melodic yet down tempo, rather than emotively strident
• ‘recitative’ – singing in rhythms of ordinary speech (Sprechgesang)
• sprechstimme is closer to speech itself in that pitches are not emphasised (monotone)
