So, I figured I would keep a running record right here, along with my ideas for the instruments I would need to play each song as I envision them in my skull:
- Annie's Song (John Denver) -- Double-neck Bass/Guitar, with eBow
- Hunger Strike (Temple of the Dog) -- Atari Synthcart, Mandolin (through guitar fx and tube amp)
- Eleanor Rigby (Beatles) -- Concertina, Atari Synthcart, X-Station & Vocoder
- Yesterday (Beatles) -- Casio SK-5 keyboard, AirFX, Bass guitar
- While My Guitar Gently Weeps (Beatles) -- Theremin, Atari
- Rocket (Smashing Pumpkins) -- Concertina, Atari, DD-55
- Mayonaise (Smashing Pumpkins) -- I don't know, I just love this song
- This Charming Man (The Smiths) -- This song is pure perfection as it is... I don't want to change anything, but I wouldn't mind learning Johnny Marr's jangly riffs, plus the bass lines in this sound super fun
- What Difference Does it Make? (The Smiths) -- Atari, Bass
- It's All Over Now, Baby Blue (Dylan/Van Morrison) -- Casio SK-5, DD-55 drums
- Two Points for Honesty (Guster) -- Atari & Novation X-Station
(notice that I basically kept every song minimal, to only 2 instruments in general? Well, if I am playing by myself... that's the most I could possibly handle! A Roland PK-5 will come in handy to control any MIDI instruments -- the X-Station, Atari, or DD-55)
I also have a few mash-ups planned, although not sure if I have the software I need to easily isolate vocals, music, frequencies, etc:
- Crystal Method & Us3
- Peter, Bjorn, and John & Ali B's Y4K
Remixes:
- If I Am (Nine Days) -- Totally electro remix
- Gabriel & Dresden
- BT
