Imagine you wanted to be play the full orchestral version of a movie theme, but you didn't have any musical instruments. I have a sneaking suspicion that Matthew Van Ness probably has some musical instruments, most likely quite a few, but he doesn't need them because he has his voice. And he uses his one voice to recreate the entire Indiana Jones theme, instrument by instrument, by himself.
Oh, it's easy. Just take the full score, separate every instrumental part, sing each one at the precise tempo, and then mix them all together on a computer. Nothing to it. Of course, it helps if you can consistently carry a tune, which excludes me from even trying.

What an accomplishment, not just the singing but the assembling. That would have been near impossible before computers. Now they can tweak each part a little in the timing and maybe pitch to make it blend, but still must have taken forever. Bassoon #3 and Tuba have a lot of down time.
