I absolutely love this song, and I thought that it would be fun to do a cover using only retro instruments (primarily from the 1980s)! What you see is the result of a compulsive need to buy weird instruments off of eBay! The featured instruments include:
Casio DG-10 Digital Toy Guitar (run through an octave pedal to create the bass. Also used for a lead in Verse 2) Casio SK-1 Sampling Keyboard (used for the strings and the brass) Dubreq Stylophone (for electric guitar riffs) Suzuki Omnichord electric autoharp (run through a resonator plug-in to add texture) The drums are samples from the SK-1 and DG-10, triggered via the Rock Band controller.
This is a "VideoSong"-style vid inspired by the videos of Jack Conte, Nataly Dawn, Pomplamoose and Joel Cathey. If you haven't seen their videos yet, go start watching! And buy their music!"
YouTube via ChrisLody "Warring Demons will be available to buy soon on Etsy.com here: http://www.SymetriColour.etsy.com Warring Demons produces 6 square waves at similar but generally unrelated pitches so produces atonal sounds. The pitch of each square wave is controlled by its own light detector. These are paired off and mixed through diodes for a ring modulation/amplitude modulation like effect. 3 waves go to the left channel and 3 waves in the right. It is capable of a very wide frequency range as you will hear!
