EDUCATION (dot.ay cover)

By cTrix on April 29, 2018 6:01 am

This is a cover of my buddy, dot.ay's, tune.  He wrote this track when he was approximately in his teens.  So for his birthday celebrations yesterday (more than a decade after this tune was written!) we decided to throw him a party where 15 of us did a cover version of his tune called "Education".

The DJ played them ALL back to back.  75 minutes of the same song by different artists.  Priceless.

It's now on bandcamp [ insert link here ]

My version is done with a Casio General MIDI GZ-50M.  Sequenced + Mixed in Reaper with all tones from the Casio.  Vocals processed with a couple of waves plugs for verb and distortion.

Funky! And the mental image of a party where the same song is played for 75 minutes straight is hilarious. Great bass as well!

Got a manic ska feel to it! Great tune.

Superb midified ska vibe here... I guess it would have to be a quite bizarre party!

I too feel the ska vibe. It must've been an interesting experience, listening to the same song over again while it's never really the same song.

Thanks for the feedback peeps!!  It was a very fun evening :-) 

I keep coming back to this because the second half is just utterly fkn mindblowingly amazing

  Hahaha - thanks Rob.  I really went hell for leather in that second bit... "let's just do fun MIDI stuff for the rest of the track".  Would be fun to do a whole EP of MIDI Prog.
