The Smiths Project

The Smiths Project A year-long project to cover every original Smiths Song and their cover of Golden Lights. www.thesmithsproject.com released September 1, 2011 All sounds are made by Janice Whaley's voice and edited in ProTools. There are no instruments played on The Smiths Project. www.thesmithsproject.com The Box set contains 6 digipack CDs of the entire project, along with a 12 page booklet, housed in a custom box. All licenses are paid and royalties go to The Smiths. What is The Smiths Project? The music contains no instruments- everything you hear was made using only my voice and basic sound editing techniques. I use pitch-shift to drop my voice down for bass lines, but otherwise there is no pitch correction involved. Each song contains anywhere between 30-50 layers of vocals and take as many hours to complete over several months. I worked on many songs at once as inspiration struck and time allowed. The goal was to complete the entire catalog of 71 original Smiths songs by the end of 2010. It was one of the most challenging experiences of my life and I am thrilled to say that I completed my goal- ahead of schedule! This would have been a daunting project just for the music alone, but I was also fitting the music time in around parenting, working, commuting, etc. It was a true labor of love to give up every ounce of free time for a year but it was the best thing I've ever done. Thank you for visiting my personal tribute to The Smiths and for cheering me on. -Janice If you like the music, please visit http://www.thesmithsproject.com to read about each song!
