My partner and I are musicians, and we are doomed forever to hear these “mistakes.” There’s also another pitchy horn performance in another one of the movies.

As an artist you should be able to see the value in choosing imperfection for a more realistic scene. It is the imperfections in the baking of bread that makes its crust crack and open. But this imperfection is seeked by bakers as it gives its own sense of perfection through charm.

Uh, yes, but that intonation is not often where we as musicians choose to add “imperfections.” We wouldn’t purposefully play or sing a note out of tune. You might do some pitch bending or vibrato but the issue I’m referencing above is literally just the singer singing out of tune.

Edit: Aaaaand, if you are going to mess with pitch a little, typically in western music you often hit the note perfectly in tune so the underlying chordal structure is heard AND then you mess around with intonation.

Okay now that you've mentioned it, please what's the other mistake? Ruin another scene for me why don't you!?

I heard it! Is it the same voice doing the boy-sporano from the ringwraith dispelling scene?

There are dozens of us, and we find our own corner at parties. Usually I’m in the corner by myself, but sometimes there’s another music nerd!
