2 Cigarettes (cover)
Monday, June 9th, 2008Over on MetaFilter Music they’re having a “cover another MetaFilter-ite’s song” challenge this month. Here is my contribution.
As I say over on the MeFi page:
The rhythm track is the “Rock 2″ preset on the Realistic Concertmate-200 (a clone of the Casio VL-1). Other keyboards used include the MicroKorg, Korg Poly-800, and Kawai X40. Oh, and a marimba.
This also marks the debut of my new EWI 4000 (which I bought with my stimulus check — thanks, Mr. President!), a MIDI wind controller — it’s like a synthesizer in the shape of a soprano sax. So, yeah, I used a sophisticated electronic instrument to make a sound like a cheap, distorted tin whistle — that’s how I roll.
