Being a cover, an instrumental cover of an a capella song would have instruments playing and not just be silence…
a capella instrumentals
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?
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.
The talking piano… I fail to understand it’s words but nice video.
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)
One of my fave instruments-as-speech tracks blends vocals and guitar Fun Lovin Criminals - My Sin
4’33” on repeat.
I particularly like the 4’33" (downtempo electronica extended mix). 12 minutes and 54 seconds of perfect digital silence. You can almost hear the individual zeroes in the signal
Not even that. That piece proves that there is no such thing as silence.
John Cage’s 4’33"
For the first minute I was still waiting, then I understood.
My favorite game sound track is from dysmantle.
There’s no music in 99% of the game; only at campfires and cutscenes.
It took me 42 hours (out of roughly 100 to complete the game) to notice the lack of music, because I always turn music down to 50%, sound effects to 75%, and leave dialogue/voices at 100%.
Edit: this post has attracted a downvote troll! Yay! Please disregard downvotes on any post under the OOP, because some asshole needs a hobby :)
Weird flex but okay
It’s related to the main post, and not a flex, just a thing that happened.
Some of us legit dgaf about music.

Then you should try dysmantle, if you are at all into destroying your environment/surroundings!
You can break down everything, but it doesn’t replenish so like it gets kinda bleak if you destroy everything… but by the time I finished the game I game up breaking the buildings cus I had all the materials I needed.
All the same it’s on an island so you don’t feel too bad.Various human-inhabited islands also has no trees so it’s just a thing.
I like how they’re styled like Pokemon elemental types
there is never silence
I knew a musician who did an amazing cover of Come to Me by Bobby McFerrin. It translates really well into a guitar.
I got a friend that actually doesn’t listen to any music or sounds of any kind.
