Voodoo People | Retro Poland Cover

„Voodoo People“ covernd Pilze sammeln im polnischen Wald. Bei maromaro1337 geht das so.

„Voodoo People“ by The Prodigy but played like a true slav from the 80s. This one was made just because I love the song and wanted to make you a surprise. Also this song is about one of the most popular polish traditions – gathering mushrooms. It’s a very nostalgic thing for me, because when I was younger, I would go with my grandma to the woods very often. It’s a very relaxing thing, even if you don’t find any mushrooms. Nowadays I don’t have that much time, but I would like this video to be a remembrance of this fun activity. Also, mushroom soup is the best soup in existence.

Ein Lied über Olomana

Olomana ist eine Gruppe von drei Berggipfeln auf der Luvseite von Oahu in der Nähe von Kailua und Waimanalo in Hawaii. Während historisch nur der erste Gipfel Olomana und der zweite und dritte Paku’i bzw. Ahiki genannt wurde, nennen die meisten Menschen den gesamten Abschnitt Olomana. Hier ein Lied darüber mit Aufnahmen aus Olomana und irgendwie habe ich jetzt Fernweh.

„Blue Monday“ on Vintage Casio Instruments

Letztendlich geht es selten um die Qualität der benutzen Instrumente, sondern darum, was am Ende dabei rauskommt. Und siehe da: „Blue Monday“ hat auch auf alten Casio Instrumenten durchaus seinen Charme. Polaroids of the Pyramids hat das mit denen mal nachgebaut. Kleines Casio-Museum.

I thought it would be a fun challenge to do a cover version of New Order’s Blue Monday using only vintage consumer-grade Casio instruments. This is an edited and compressed adaptation. I left out some sections of the song and combined a few things to make a shortened rendition.

What you see me playing in the video are the actual instruments I used to make this multi-track recording. I layered different keyboards for most parts. I didn’t do anything to significantly change the sound of the instruments. I only used basic effects, such as equalization, reverb, delay, chorus, compression, etc.

I programmed the main drums using the built in rhythm programmer of the HT-700 keyboard and supplemented them by playing along on the DP-1 drum pads connected to the MT-500 keyboard. I used the SS-1 drum sticks to strike the pads, but you can also connect these sticks directly to the MT-500 and trigger drum sounds by striking anything or even waving the sticks in the air.

New Order sampled the Kraftwerk song “Uranium” for the choir-like sound in the original song. I also sampled ”Uranium” with the SK-1 keyboard. This is the only thing I sampled.

Here is a list of the instruments I used (in order of their first appearance):
HT-700 keyboard
MT-500 keyboard, DP-1 drum pads, SS-1 drum sticks
VL-1 mini keyboard/calculator
MT-400V keyboard
Casiotone 1000P keyboard
DG-20 digital guitar
SK-1 sampling keyboard
PT-7 mini keyboard and Casiotone M-10 keyboard
DH-200 digital horn
Casiotone 201 and MT-40 keyboards
MT-65 keyboard
KX-101 and CK-500 keyboards/cassette players
Casiotone 701 keyboard
MT-35 keyboard
MT-52 keyboard
