Is a microphone considered an instrument in the context of this challenge?

If you've got a Copperphone or something crazy like that, I don't see why not

Re: OK partner, (Let’s Call It A Draw prefight)
In! Now with 100% less repeat and fade. I don't have any particularly unusual instruments, so I threw in a soprano sax. I figure the alto haters will REALLY hate it.

Re: OK partner, (Let’s Call It A Draw prefight)
I'm in (I nearly wasn't). I'm in the UK and saw the date and thought great 9th September I've got bags of time. I checked this morning and before I had a moment thinking 9th January that's odd, I twigged. So I quickly finished it off in my lunch break and chucked in a stylophone solo to try and meet the challenge. I had far too much fun jamming out the guitars in the lead up to attempting to record this "properly".

Re: OK partner, (Let’s Call It A Draw prefight)
I'm in with a guest verse feature from the UK and a theremin as my featured instrument!

Re: OK partner, (Let’s Call It A Draw prefight)
I didn't even know an electric kazoo was a thing, I'll have to look into that. I made a song a long time ago with a kids toy kazoo from a dollar store, it sounded pretty cool once i put reverb and effects on it.Paco Del Stinko wrote: ↑Tue Sep 01, 2020 8:25 amWell, I too have theremin.

Re: OK partner, (Let’s Call It A Draw prefight)
Sweeney: Yeah, I've had a couple for many years now. I believe they were sold under the name Kazooka. There's a pick-up mounted on top of the diaphragm, and a lead with a 1/4" plug on it. Right into an amp, or whatever. Probably not an everyday instrument, but fun. I just amped and multitracked it, but you could go nuts with delay and all that business.
Looking forward to hearing your Theremin playing!

Brown Word in with tuba and a Gujarati spike violin that refuses to stay in any sort of tune, Chemnitzer concertina you can't really hear, and other assorted noises. Enjoy!

Re: OK partner, (Let’s Call It A Draw prefight)
Looking forward to yours as well! I actually just used a theremin vst plugin which i've just downloaded for this fight. I actually do have a real little theremin stuck in a storage unit in atlanta, but this vst is honestly way cooler, you can do so much more with it and it's easier for me to mess with just using a mouse to control it. I looked for a fluba vst at first as it was the first thing i had in mind but couldn't find one anywhere. looking forward to hearing everyone's songs on this one, i hope everyone brought the weirdest instruments they could find!Paco Del Stinko wrote: ↑Tue Sep 01, 2020 10:49 amSweeney: Yeah, I've had a couple for many years now.

Re: OK partner, (Let’s Call It A Draw prefight)
In for my first fight in a while. My unusual instrument is a Lorenzo Reed Organ. Probably not as strange as some of the other picks but it's an odd little thing and I don't use it that often.

But I'm not done yet. Ugh.
And I've always wanted theremin. I don't have.

It's not going to sound all that unusual (mostly just sorta shitty), but my song will feature a one-man-band rig.

Re: OK partner, (Let’s Call It A Draw prefight)
whoops, I thought this was due next week. Looks like I'll save the one-man-band for later (and a for a better song)
