      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.

        Check it out.

          Haha that’s awesome! It is surprising but somehow also makes sense.
