Pink Floyd - One of These Days

Tremolo?

 

with Pink Floyd, I would believe it is either the bass through a ton of effects or more likely that synthisizer that was as big as a couch that they used heavily....

 

the middle part was put through a vibrato (gilmour's words)

here is a really cool video of the song:

 

i always thought it tremolo myself.

 

its is... people used to, and sometimes still do call trem vibrato.

 

+1. vibrato is produced by rapid variations in pitch. tremolo is produced by rapid variations in volume (can also be seen as a rapid repetition of a single note, esp. in "classical" music).

by "classical" you mean "art music".

oh yeah, i did it

:flameyface:

 

indeed! i suppose i should start using the term "art music" again. i used to use it all the time, but then people would just stare blankly or say, "what's 'art music?'" all the time... so i reverted back to using the technically incorrect "classical music."

but yeah... that's why i put "classical" in quotes like i did.

 

Of course, music critics used to call Pink Floyd "art rock".

This is vibrato. Notice the pitch warbles.

This is tremolo. Notice the volume warbles.

Any questions?

No?

Class dismissed!

 

Not to mention Jonas Hellborg's band called Art Metal.
