FAKE PLASTIC TREES
Original: Radiohead
Cover By: Joseph Accardi

This cover was a ton of fun to record. I looped a simple violin track that I recorded. (I've been learning violin for the past month or so now!) and I added a fun keyboard track to the chorus! (Simulated Whirly).

The other really fun thing was the improvised hi-hat sound. I took 5 chopsticks and elastic banned them together. I made a pair of these wonderful 'drum sticks' or 'hot rods', and wailed away on a note pad with a mic recording it all. (You can hear it right after the first chorus, panned hard to the left).

The rest of the recording was really quite straight forward. 2 guitar tracks, panned left and right. Djembe (top and bottom). Bass guitar, and vocals!

I hope you enjoy it. I want some criticism on this one. I put a lot of time and effort into it! I know there are a lot of people listening to the songs because I can see the counter plays! I put up a song last week... and it has over 2000 plays today.

So enjoy
