hell yes, the room is basically a third musician sometimes

and sometimes the third musician is a nightmare who will not stop showing up late

that is a great way to put it, the room and voices arguing politely is exactly the vibe. i keep thinking about recordings where you can hear the singers waiting on the air to come back before they move on, thats not atmosphere thats timing and nerves and discipline

if you want to hear that in a recording try something with real room sound not a studio polish job
listen for how the echo finishes the phrase instead of just decorating it

[Barroom Radio Nights]

totally, the devotional use can sharpen the form instead of dulling it

yeah this is exactly how i heard a monk chant once in a tiny church basement in chicago. nobody was trying to make it into background music and still the shape of the phrases hit like architecture, you know breath and echo and all that doing real work. i left thinking the use was part of the music not some stain on it
