Palm Oil and The Dissonant Chords of Green Groups (Press Release: Palmhugger)
24/04/2012 (Scoop.co.nz) - A capacity crowd had gathered on a lovely spring evening for a concert by one of my college friends in a beautiful outdoor venue. It happened to be his birthday, so the emcee hinted that we might want to sing “Happy Birthday†to him. One by one, people started singing, each in a different key, each at a different tempo. As the jumble of notes and words joined together, the result was, well, less than harmonic. It wasn’t even melodious. It was in fact downright pitiful. When my friend took the stage, he gave us another chance. He didn’t give us the pitch, but he did give us a downbeat, so at least we were singing together. By the end of the song most people were somewhat close to the same key.
