Listen to the man who holds the record for lowest vocal note sung by a human

By Maddy Shaw Roberts

How low can he go? Turns out, ludicrously, earth-shatteringly low…

Since 2012, Tim Storms has held the world record for the lowest ever vocal note – that’s a deliciously gravelly G -7 (0.189 Hz), which is eight octaves below the lowest G on the piano. The American bass, who stretches the lowest male voice type to its extreme, holds the Guinness World Records for both the “lowest note produced by a human” and the “widest local range”. Speaking to Classic FM in his winning year, Storms said his voice “was always low”. “The older I get, the lower I get,” he said. “I never went through that adolescent voice changing phase.” Pour some liquid thunder down a microphone, and Storms’ voice is sort of what you get (listen below). Storms found musical fame after winning Decca Records’ ‘Bass Hunter’, an international competition set up by the record company and Military Wives composer Paul Mealor, who were in search for a bass who could sing a low ‘E’. Mealor’s newest composition at the time, ‘De Profundis’, featured the record-breaking note, which was the lowest tone ever written in a piece of classical music – six semitones below the lowest note found in a mainstream choral work, which is a B flat in Rachmaninov’s Vespers. Storms submitted his tape and won the competition by a landslide. The singer and composer could not only get down to a low E but, so he says, two octaves lower than that. And the clarity of his voice at that frequency is just astonishing. Mealor’s piece features on the 2012 Decca album Tranquillity, which was recorded with the St Petersburg Chamber Choir. “I’ve always had an appreciation for classical music, but I’ve never been an active listener,” Storms tells Classic FM. “And then I heard the St Petersburg Chamber Choir and got to sing with them, and it completely changed the way I feel about it.” Hear that low ‘E’ in the recording just here, and feel your bones tremble...

Believe it or not, the oldest song on Spotify is actually the oldest song in the world. Titled “The Hymn Of Ugarit,” the track is a modern recording by Al-Pha-X of what is the oldest known piece of music ever discovered. The song dates back to 14th century B.C.E. and was discovered on a clay tablet in the 1950s. Obviously this particular version of the song was not recorded 3,400 years ago, but rather in 2008, so it may not be what you’re looking for. With this in mind, we’ve also dug up the oldest recordings on Spotify. The oldest music recording available on Spotify is a French compilation album titled Anthologie De La Chanson Française, which has recordings dating between 1900 and 1920. Singers included on the compilation include Henri Fursy, Lucien Boyer, Ainé Mevisto, Gabriel Montoya, and more. Recordings didn’t exist for very long before 1900, and especially not music recordings. It was a while before people fine-tuned the technology enough to produce the high-quality music recordings we are accustomed with these days. Still, it can be interesting to hear music from a time past, and that’s why we’ve gathered here today. If you’re interested in hearing some even older recordings, albeit not music, Spotify also has a compilation called The Oldest Recorded Voices in History. This compilation includes speeches dating between 1888 and 1912, from people like Robert Browning, Thomas Edison, Florence Nightingale, and more. Stream Al-Pha-X’s recording of “The Hymn of Ugarit” below. Check out the French compilation from the early 1900s below that, and at the bottom see the compilation of old recorded voices. Finally, for the curious, also see our post about the longest song on Spotify.
