Being a cover, an instrumental cover of an a capella song would have instruments playing and not just be silence…
Right, it would consist of the instruments mimicking the voice of the original singer
Edit: That makes me wonder, has anyone ever tried to actually imitate human speech with musical instruments? How many would you need?
There’s an old video where someone converted songs to MIDI piano and the vocals are still almost distinguishable. It’s purely an illusion and it only works if the listener knows the lyrics, but it’s pretty convincing.
Haha that’s awesome! It is surprising but somehow also makes sense.

I got a friend that actually doesn’t listen to any music or sounds of any kind.
Bro’s friend is a plant.
Plants like music though. For the science behind this, check out any middle school science project.
No plants like carbon dioxide 😭
John Cage’s 4’33"
It’s not a bad performance of the piece, but it’s far more up-tempo than the composer intended.
Exactly! I mean, come on… completing 4’33" in 3’43" is just preposterous.
