First of all, I didn't know Casio made some any different kinds of electronic instruments back in the day - he used more than 15 of them to record this. I laughed out loud when the guitar part came in.

What you see me playing in the video are the actual instruments I used to make this multi-track recording. I layered different keyboards for most parts. I didnÃ¢Â€Â™t do anything to significantly change the sound of the instruments. I only used basic effects, such as equalization, reverb, delay, chorus, compression, etc.

And also, this is just fun... Blue Monday is an all-time favorite song of mine; here's the original:
