I was just wondering, do any exist?

'A Walk in the Park' is the only one I can think of, but maybe you mean fan-made mixes or something?

'Walk in the park' isn't strictly acapella.They do it with samplers,y'know; it's played on a keyboard apart from the lead vocal.There's actually many other instances where Stina has multitracked her voice,but usually with some accompaniment-but occasionally very little.I'll rack my brains.
I have a hunch that some of Stina's new stuff will be the opposite-no vocal,some pure instrumentals,and I'm looking forward to hearing that,much as I love her voice.I love the music she made for the Magasin Project.

Bang goes my romantic image of Stina slogging away through the night, painstakingly building up the vocal tracks.

Samplers = lazy artists. They're supposed to suffa, innit.

Apart from anything else,some of the pitches sung on 'Walk' are well into Contralto range,going on Tenor,which I don't think is Stina tessitura at all, (darling).
I think it's the only time she's used samplers.I'd love to hear that it wasn't so,but...

Well I assumed there was some sort of pitch-bending thingy involved to get the notes in the lower range, given that Stina probably hadn't been on a course of testosterone specially.

Hehe Stina on testos for music.... wait is she Antony who sings with The Johnsons? heheheheheheh I am mean......

the ends justify the means!

i was just wondering about this if we felt like doing some forum remix project or something until any more news about Coming Soon arrives via dodgy rumour.

The opening section of 'Isens fasor' has a lot of overdubbed voices,although not strictly acapella.

I'd be interested to hear the results - fan remixes are rampant in Tori world and some of them are excellent, ie the amazing remix of 'Me And A Gun' and the recent one of 'Devils and Gods'. Hopefully one of the musicians here will have a go with some Stina tracks.

how about a handbag remix of When Debbies Back From Texas? Or a semi-rave mix of Lori Glory?

I don't do remixes-wrong generation. A different skill,albeit not requiring a lot of musical knowhow.
My skills are in transcription,(a bit unfashionable and undervalued these days),and arranging,which is like a remix but more like hard work.
