Product Description
Taken from the famous Easy Rider movie, here is a reinterpretation of Steppenwolf's Born To Be Wild, a single that was released in 1968 as the third from the band's first studio album.
Often associated in popular culture with biker iconography, this song is more than just a flagship tune of the Rock genre.
This version aims to exploit the percussive and resonant peculiarities of the piano to search for the bending effects, the distortions, and the suspended dissonances of the power chords, connotative of the original.
The indispensable use (and non-use) of the sustain pedal and the refined maximization of certain accents and percussive supports while leaving room for certain sound stratifications that remind certain genres out of the Rock box.
The ostinato finale then presses the sonic ascension towards a feverish supernova, paying homage to that high octane drive and locomotion, making this song an unforgettable icon.
This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters.
