The thing about Ben Folds is that he always manages to make his piano sound like an entire band, one with as many members as The Polyphonic Spree. It’s ridiculous and he makes it seem so effortless.
Anyway, here’s a video of me making my piano sound like a descant recorder in the hands of a caffeinated 8-year-old 🙃
Thing #36 in my 101 Things in 1001 Days project – Record 25 covers on piano
It’s nearly the end of January, and my first month of my 101 Things in 1001 Days project. You wouldn’t know it by looking at this place, but there’s been a whole lot of work happening behind the scenes and a number of my goals are progressing nicely. Here in Australia we have a long weekend (for highly problematic reasons) and I’m planning to spend some of it getting this website up to date.
Here’s an easy one to start – the first of 25 piano cover songs recorded for Thing #035.
You’re never going to find a polished, finished product here, and that’s kind of the point of all this. Decades of perfectionism resulted in next to zero output, so instead we’re doing the opposite of that: single, rough-as-guts takes. A couple of weeks ago I asked the group chat for some inspo for a cover song and this video was the result.
