Wii Music - Animal Crossing

Wii Music - Animal Crossing Theme

This is one of my favorites. It's my first really successful performance as a band. I first laid down a beatbox on percussion 1. Then I added tambourine on percussion 2, using a different rhythm, but keeping the hip-hop groove. It took me many takes to finally get the timing right, especially as the song changes into its middle 8th. After countless scrubbed attempts, I finally managed to pull it off - my fingers just took control for me. I'm very impressed.

Finally, I added electric guitar on bass. The guitar sounds lower in the bass position, and this allowed a more natural guitar sound for me. I was also able to focus on playing chords and notes that supported the beats, without stepping on the melody and taking over.

I start with single notes, with bends and vibrato, on the verse. When the chorus kicks in, I used chords for added punch. It really sounds terrific. I close out the song with some feedback tones. As always, I rehearsed numerous takes before finding what I wanted to use. Then it all magically came together for the video shoot.

It's here that I came to realize just how spectacular Wii Music truly is. The freedom to create music is unparalled. This is the most revolutionary music "game" ever made.

Celebrity Mii's in this video: Garfield, Spider-Man, John Lennon, Marilyn Monroe, Orson Welles, Lando, and Jesus. And, yes, my hair really is going grey, but it's not that far gone yet, heh heh.
