Reverse engineering the vocals of Space Oddity - Bowie


This was found out by chance while listening to the Pleiades Vicky linoleum triagular pyramid speaker connected directly to iPads headphones out.


Naturally one of the 2 Chanel's, the left one was connected to speaker.


The backing vocal line is clearly heard.


For example on " Here am I siting in a tin can" at Heee..., David sings C while we know the lead vocal on the other channel is E creating F major 7th with respect to bass which is F. So second voice does the C which is at this particular moment a perfect 5th above bass F.


It can be listened at around 2:20
