Students in my Audio Recording Techniques III (Spring 2023) course at the University of Oregon had ten weeks to recreate a recorded song of their choice. They voted on reverse engineering The Cardigans “Lovefool” from their 1996 album, First Band on the Moon. The goal was to get the song as close as they could to the original recording. They arranged, recorded, overdubbed, mixed, mastered, and played nearly all parts! Enjoy!
In the spring of 2022, students in my Audio Recording Techniques III course at the University of Oregon recreated Phoebe Bridger’s “Kyoto” from her 2020 album, Punisher, from the ground up. I used our 2022 class song as the foundation for Cyberduck AI’s challenge to use Grimes’ AI voice in a creative context. I uploaded our original vocal into Cyberduck’s web interface to create Grimes’ vocal track. I had to do this in chunks due to size/length limits.
I then remixed our 2022 Phoebe Bridgers’ “Kyoto” cover with AI Grimes’ singing. You can listen below

The students in my Audio Recording Techniques III (Spring 2019) course at University of Oregon had ten weeks to recreate a recorded song of their choice. They voted on reverse engineering Supertramp’s “The Logical Song” from the band’s 1979 album, Breakfast in America. The goal was to get the song as close as they could to the original recording. They recorded, overdubbed, mixed, mastered, and played parts!, on all elements of the song. I am amazed at their accomplished product. Enjoy!
The students in my Audio Recording Techniques III (Spring 2018) course at University of Oregon had ten weeks to select and recreate a recorded song of their choice. They voted on producing a recreation of Massive Attack’s “Teardrop.” The goal was to get the song as close as they could to the original recording. They recorded (and played parts!), mixed, and mastered all elements of the song in just under ten weeks. I am so proud of my students and what they were able to do. I am posting here to give me (and I hope you!) a smile when one needs it.
