Is a total novelty, its 16 songs containing nary an instrument and many a harmonized voice. Some may view the move as a gimmick, but there's something truly.well, novel about Folds' work with these young ensembles, all of whom re-create the songwriter's acerbic pop/rock with voices alone. While the world of collegiate a cappella isn't exactly a macrocosm of the music business, it does mirror the industry's recording trends, with more and more ensembles adopting the same digitally tuned, Pro Tools-weaned approach that achieves perfection at the expense of the human element.

UNIVERSITY A CAPPELLA! TO BE RELEASED APRIL 28 Ben Folds Amazed to discover the large amount of colleges that have very active a cappella groups on campus across the country (1,200 in the U.S. Alone), and, on top of this, how many of them love to cover his songs, decided to arrange, record and produce a record gathering the best of these performances. Ben Folds Presents: University A Cappella arrives on April 28, 2009. When word got out, the response was tremendous and resulted in 250 videos on YouTube.

Folds serves as producer on the bulk of these songs, however, and he captures the group's renditions with virtually no studio wizardry, allowing some errors to remain in the final mix for realistic effect. Those familiar with the top dogs of college a cappella may recognize some names here, particularly the perennially solid Loreleis from UNC, but University A Cappella! Gives ample room to ensembles that rarely occupy the spotlight. There's not a whiff of the Yale Whiffenpoofs nor a toot from Tufts' Beelzebubs; instead, listeners are treated to a solid version of 'Fair' by Eau Claire's six-person Fifth Element, a winsome 'Evaporated' by a high-school choir from Massachusetts, and a sadly middling 'Brick' (whose intro sounds more like a church hymn than a '90s ballad) by the Ohio University Leading Tones. The performances are hit-or-miss -- and many of them are trumped by Folds' own pair of songs -- but the originality remains fairly consistent, yielding an album that should delight a cappella enthusiasts and, at the very least, interest the average Folds fan.

Over two months, they set up camp in dorm lounges, lecture halls and campus television studios. They even recorded in a Synagogue. Also wanting to involve students from other areas of campus life in these sessions, at each one Folds invited a student photographer and videographer to document the recording.

I can tell you that much. I have a greater appreciation now for the university groups.” “This is not a novelty. I consider this my new record. I’m incredibly proud of this. If this were Ben World, this would be my greatest hits album. I’d rather this be my greatest hits record than someone collecting my masters and slapping on a photo of me leaning against a piano. This is a better way,” says Folds.

I consider this my new record. I’m incredibly proud of this.

But Folds wanted to capture what these groups actually sounded like in performance. The team allotted four hours for each session.

Folds, his wife Fleur and his engineer Joe Costa packed up their equipment, and hopped on planes, trains and automobiles to record these groups. Over two months, they set up camp in dorm lounges, lecture halls and campus television studios. They even recorded in a Synagogue. Also wanting to involve students from other areas of campus life in these sessions, at each one Folds invited a student photographer and videographer to document the recording. After reviewing the footage captured, Folds then invited one of the student videographers – Jason Harper from Princeton University – to compile each school’s footage into one documentary of the entire project. No matter where the recordings took place, the makeshift studio was simple – six area mics. In recent years, tools like Auto-Tune and overdub have become as prevalent in collegiate a cappella recording as on major label albums.

Not to be outdone by the undergraduates, Folds recorded two of his own a cappella tracks: instrument-free versions of “Effington” (from his 2008 album Way to Normal) and “Boxing,” which originally appeared on the 1995 self-titled Ben Folds Five album. About recording his own a cappella songs, Folds says, “It took fucking longer than four hours.
