@cinematic_tension: Melbourne’s glass Deakin Edge auditorium transformed into a polyphonic temple as the Shaking the Tree Choir delivered a spine-tingling choral take on Led Zeppelin’s "The Battle of Evermore." The Glass-Amphitheater Siege: Framed by a soaring geometric glass facade at Federation Square, Bronwyn Kalk’s Melbourne choir turned the 1971 folk classic into a storm of unamplified human harmony. Using mouth percussion and multi-part polyphony, dozens of voices conjured Middle-earth without a single guitar on stage. Deakin Edge Highlights: The Battle of Evermore On The Turning Away In Your Eyes Shaking the Tree Deconstructing the Choral Blueprint: Jimmy Page’s mandolin riffs were translated into staggered vocal ostinatos among tenors and basses. The Plant-Denny vocal duel became a four-part call-and-response, with sopranos soaring over deep chest-voice drones. Taming Glass Reflections & Choral Phase: Deakin Edge’s hard glass backwall creates harsh 2.5kHz flutter echoes, while dozens of open mics risk severe phase comb-filtering. FOH wranglers used a phased ORTF stereo pair with tight hypercardioid spot mics, carving 2.8kHz notch filters and gentle opto-bus compression to glue the dynamic swells. The Soundboard Sound-Off: 👇 Does a full choral arrangement elevate Zeppelin’s mythic magic, or do you need Page’s mandolin?
