John Cage’s 4’33"
It’s not a bad performance of the piece, but it’s far more up-tempo than the composer intended.
Exactly! I mean, come on… completing 4’33" in 3’43" is just preposterous.
4’33” on repeat.
There are plenty of covers of 4’33"
True, I just finished playing one of them.
About 8 billion or so, if I had to guess.
You can take my kids out of the count. I haven’t gotten 4 minutes of silence since they were born.
I particularly like the 4’33" (downtempo electronica extended mix). 12 minutes and 54 seconds of perfect digital silence. You can almost hear the individual zeroes in the signal
there is never silence
Being a cover, an instrumental cover of an a capella song would have instruments playing and not just be silence…
Right, it would consist of the instruments mimicking the voice of the original singer
I know talk boxes have gone out of style, but that’s as close as you’ll ever get.
The talking piano… I fail to understand it’s words but nice video.
Not quite what you mean, but it reminded me of a Game Grumps episode where they talk about it for a loooong time…
Jeff Beck was really good at imitating human voice without the voice box. Badass guitarist.
Not sure about the human speech, but there is a certain mongolian string instrument able to perfectly immitate a horse. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4xZUr0BEfE (4:41)
There’s an old video where someone converted songs to MIDI piano and the vocals are still almost distinguishable. It’s purely an illusion and it only works if the listener knows the lyrics, but it’s pretty convincing.
Haha that’s awesome! It is surprising but somehow also makes sense.
Here’s a much more effective MIDI-ification of a song with vocals: https://youtu.be/0k7UD64RwGU
a capella instrumentals
Yeah. It should be a capella karaoke tracks.
no music!
My favorite game sound track is from dysmantle.
There’s no music in 99% of the game; only at campfires and cutscenes.
It took me 42 hours (out of roughly 100 to complete the game) to notice the lack of music, because I always turn music down to 50%, sound effects to 75%, and leave dialogue/voices at 100%.
Weird flex but okay
It’s related to the main post, and not a flex, just a thing that happened.
Some of us legit dgaf about music.
You must lead a sad existence. No music? I’d rather be dead.
I feel sad for you that you don’t see a possible rich existence without music…
One of us is lacking in life, but it certainly is not me.
Music is inherently human. To not enjoy music is not even a human existence. You lack music, so your life is lacking.
Music is important for some humans some of the time. It is not necessary for all humans at all times. So like you are wrong and stuff.
I like a lot of music, but I don’t want it most of the time because there are better sounds to listen to, like nature.
I won’t be responding to your pathetic trolling attempts from here on tho. You clearly don’t know shit about humans, despite claiming to be one.
Turns out we aren’t all the same and don’t all want the same dumb shit the lowest common denominator wants, like pop music. Some of us want peace and quiet even if we can understand and appreciate what about popular music makes it appealing to others.
Music is more than just what you hear on the radio. There will most certainly be something that is for you, yoyur just not digging deeper than the surface. And there’s so many riches down in the depths.
Thats me! I almost always disable music and ambiance noises in games.
I got a friend that actually doesn’t listen to any music or sounds of any kind.
Bro’s friend is a plant.
Plants like music though. For the science behind this, check out any middle school science project.
No plants like carbon dioxide 😭
I like The Sound of Silence
I like how they’re styled like Pokemon elemental types
I knew a musician who did an amazing cover of Come to Me by Bobby McFerrin. It translates really well into a guitar.
