Welcome to The World Plays
What would overlaying hundreds (maybe even thousands) of tracks sound like on record? Let's find out.
WHy And who
WHO
WHEN
WHO
I am a guitarist, drummer, bassist, vocalist, computer nerd, and nirvana fan of over 25 years. I have my own home studio in the SF bay area and have mixed my own cover tracks for a long time, some were ok-ish. I'm naive enough to think I can pull this off. I'm not a producer or genius mixer, so I will need help.
WHY
WHEN
WHO
Everyone is indoors right now. Lots of people are uploading their Nirvana covers. Why not bring it all together at an insane scale and just see what happens. Nirvana were amazing, I wanted to start there.

A free mix of 'The World Plays : Nevermind' album to be released in 2020 or 2021. This will be non-profit, Even if it were possible, anything that 'could' be made from this would be routed to a charity (likely COVID related).
It could be terrible or it could be cool like Rockin1000 (which is awesome and obviously a major inspiration for what I am doing here), but I have no idea.
Whatever it is though, you'll be on it.
Start Practicing
For 'Smells Like Teen Spirit', one track will be panned center. The most accurate rendition of the intro riff, so if you practice, well, that could be you.
It's about the STYLE, not your equipment.
Record DIRECT with NO effects. We will reamp you into period correct equipment used on the album.
