      @@vmitodd The "a little" part is the problem. You know what a half step sounds like, but it's extremely hard to hear/feel that interval between your voice and an orchestra when the sound isn't natural to feel.
      Also, simply bringing yourself to sing that much dissonance, even if you know perfectly in your mind what the half step should sound like, is not easy when there's an orchestra forcing a harmonic foundation into your mind.
      It's definitely something that needs to be practiced a lot for an individual piece.

      The composer didn't write the note out of tune. That is a quirk of the performance, which was transcribed by Mr. Collier. Transcription is writing down music that already exists in some form, usually for the purpose of analysis. Composition is the process of creating new music from you own ideas.

    I saw Tim live last night (just him and his piano) and it was the best show I've ever been to. I've seen Ben Folds many times who is another awesome pianist (and Tim's idol) who possibly still just beats Tim on technical skill, but Tim radiates charisma and extreme intelligence which really adds to the experience. His style is similar, in some ways but different in others. You can definitely see the influence. Despite being billed as an "unfunny" show ( music from his musicals, stuff he's written or TV as well as from earlier in his career and his new album) Tim had the whole audience laughing a lot between every song. Everything he played was pretty much better than any version of any recordings I've heard (he seems to have been really working on his vocals too), and he is without a doubt a genuinely nice, empathetic guy. Loved him to pieces.

My brain just doesn't let me account for the timbre (the other, background sounds of different frequencies), is what I am able to make out of what I know about my perception of music.

    To sing out of tune on purpose while playing and hearing music in a particular key requires serious concentration and that's why it's only done with one note one-half step higher. It's difficult to do.

    I'm absolutely obsessed with tim minchin at the moment I would LOVE to see some more transcriptions of his work.
    His most technically impressive song is probably Dark Side, not just for his great solo but also for those stupid high notes he sings during the breakdown
    But I'd also be psyched to see a transcription of one or both of his beat poems Storm and Mitsubishi Colt

    This reminds me of Tom Lehrer, the combined skillful piano and singing zany lyrics that tell a story, always with a twist. If you don't know Tom Lehrer, or if you do, he was a Harvard mathematician and piano player/singer who got some fame for tunes like "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park," "The Elements Song," and "We'll All Go Together When We Go." And before that (or at the same time), he did "Silent E" and "L-Y" on The Electric Company. Anyway, great job by Tim Minchin. I didn't realize he was this musically talented. Cheers.
