Sounds great! Was that a distorted horn instrument I heard? Or was it just the mix of a horn and a distorted bass that’s messing with me?Tadpui wrote: ↑Mon Jan 04, 2021 12:28 am Only a year later and I finally had some inspiration on this one. Although I still don't think that I followed the rules, now that I re-read them. Oh well, this is as close as I can get to abiding by the challenge, but at least I feel like the spirit is there
This is Wishing Well by the band Free, done in the style of Wishing Well by the band Morphine. This was a one-sitting ordeal late last night...so yeah...pretty rough. And I only made it through one of the verses, mainly because I have no idea what I'm doing on a wind instrument yet. This is all of the fake sax playing I could muster in one evening. Playing slide bass on 2 strings was fun, though!

That's exactly what the rules called for, so you're golden.
Thanks Crows! The instrumentation is drums, bass, and 3 saxophone parts. The baritone-ish sax had quite an edge to it, so that may be what you're hearing that sounds like distortion. I haven't yet learned how to get fine control over my breath with this breath controller yet, so I was probably way overblowingCrowsofFritz wrote: ↑Mon Jan 04, 2021 1:03 am Sounds great!

Thanks Steve! I'd just read the part about using the lyrics and melody of one song, and since I didn't use the melody I thought I'd missed the mark.vomitHatSteve wrote: ↑Mon Jan 04, 2021 11:16 am That's exactly what the rules called for, so you're golden.
I like this! You did a good job of putting the two songs together. Especially if you only spent one evening on it!
Oh, I missed the melody changes. Hardly matters tho. The best covers are the ones that take liberties with the original song.Tadpui wrote: ↑Mon Jan 04, 2021 1:01 pm

Yeah, this was a fun quickie project. I might spend time on it this evening and see if I can flush out the idea a bit more. The original songs are only 3-4 minutes long, so I might be able to make a tolerable project out of it
Agreed. I think that straight covers are neither fun to make nor fun to listen to. I like to hear somebody's personality in a cover.vomitHatSteve wrote: ↑Mon Jan 04, 2021 2:38 pm The best covers are the ones that take liberties with the original song.
Indeed! I probably stole from more than just Wishing Well with this interpretation.
Thanks Shan Yeah, the sax parts are all a Roland Aerophone. Mine is the dumbed-down entry-level version of what Lt. Bob got. It's got a simplified fingering system that puts it more in line with a recorder than a saxophone or clarinet. The two saxes playing through most of the song are the built-in sounds, just different registers. And the solo sax at the end was a virtual instrument that I was trying out. None of the sax sounds were great in that higher register, but the lower ones actually sounded somewhat convincing.WhiskeyJack wrote: ↑Tue Jan 05, 2021 1:52 pm MAn kudos to you Tad. this somehow slipped off my radar the last few days. I had to google both the songs as I had no idea about either of them. Hats off.
IS that horn thing you are playing like one of those things @Lt. Bob just picked up? Am i hearing two versions of it as well? Like an almost distorted track of it and also a clean track of it? forgive my ignorance i am sure it;s not distrted but like the sort of farty sounding one. Muffled? I don't know.
Sounds pretty good really. great job man.
Thanks Greg! It was a fun challenge, I'm sure you'll come up with something interesting
hah! That would be amazing!
