    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.

        Here’s a much more effective MIDI-ification of a song with vocals: https://youtu.be/0k7UD64RwGU

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

      Jeff Beck was really good at imitating human voice without the voice box. Badass guitarist.

      I know talk boxes have gone out of style, but that’s as close as you’ll ever get.

      Not quite what you mean, but it reminded me of a Game Grumps episode where they talk about it for a loooong time…

      Not sure about the human speech, but there is a certain mongolian string instrument able to perfectly immitate a horse. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4xZUr0BEfE (4:41)

      I saw a documentary about an old-timey music device someone invented and put on shows mimicking voice. It was very complicated to play and I don’t even know how much of it has survived.
