DOC-10famous covers

Renditions

Familiar melodies, their stories, and the little arrangements inside them.

Famous melodies you'll actually recognise — arranged by hand onto the instruments in the collection. These are covers in the PlasticSynth voice, not recordings: every note is played live by our own plastic synths, so a Bach prelude comes out glassy and a Beethoven theme comes out soft and round. Open one in the Studio, press PLAY, then pull it apart. It opens as a copy; the shared original and your saved rack stay untouched.

Every piece here is in the public domain (classical or traditional), and each is trimmed to one memorable, looping phrase rather than the whole score.

Für Elise

Ludwig van Beethoven1810A minor

Beethoven's tender bagatelle, its rocking A-minor theme sung on a soft plastic-synth voice.
