music? anyone?

Santaman · Sep 20, 2017

Ayreon put most of his work on his youtube channel so you can listen to it as much you like, I have to say that Arjen is probably the nicest artist on this planet, despite the things he accomplished he always remains really modest, even shy a little.

I quite like The day that the world breaks down. Thanks for the video... :techman:

This is a good example of the electronic sound I like with an edge, same artist also did a riff with an Ozzy cut that I thought was bomb:

Santaman · Sep 21, 2017

^^ Not entirely my style but I assume quite a lot of the music I listen to won't be the style other people like.

Delerium -Hypoxia
Love this one, one of the nicest SF soundtracks I know.

And as a contrast Null Positv -Koma

And that is how my brain works.

cosmic mouse · Sep 22, 2017

Yeah, I hear you on musical tastes being pretty personal and maybe not to many others' liking. My electronic tastes back in the day ranged from ambient, to trip hop/lounge, to drum & bass, right on into jungle, etc. so pretty much the gamut. There was this one guy I used to listed to who incorporated a lot of samples from Blade Runner into his stuff. Wish I could recall the artist's name...

That Hypoxia track is pretty cool... :techman:

Santaman · Sep 30, 2017

I also like trance quite a lot, depending who's the artist.
Airbase -Escape

Or if you like a slightly more chaotic track.. It is used in Saints Row III which is one of my favorite games ever, this track is kinda just as fun and chaotic.

Dilemn -Pitiless

That's a hell of a list of vocalists. Admittedly I only have albums from 4 of those bands (Kamelot, Epica, Circus Maximus & Nightwish/Floor Jansen (After Forever)), but I have videos from a lot of the other bands.

I think that's a vintage Leslie speaker at 1:33. A must have for the Hammond organ owner.

Santaman · Sep 30, 2017

Yep, you're right, Arjen loves old organs and old analog synthesisers, as for the album, and also his previous ones, they are awesome, they're so lovingly made and each and every vocalist pulls out every bit of what they're capable off and then some, same with the guest musicians... I hope one day he'll ask Jean-Michel Jarre.

Ar-Pharazon · Oct 1, 2017

Back in the 60's & 70's, my Dad had a Hammond B3 & Leslie speaker in our living room. It's a pretty imposing set of furniture.

Santaman · Oct 1, 2017

Those old beast are lovely, I like the way they look and the technology behind them but there's only one "organ" I would love to have, that's the Eminent 310u in the 1970's the Dutch firm who build it decided to also fit the single most powerful string synthesiser ever into this beast, a certain Jean-Michel Jarre picked it up and connected the output to a Electro Harmonix small stone phaser, the rest is history.
Nice demo with it including the phaser.

Of course I would not pass up owning this thing...

cosmic mouse · Oct 1, 2017

@Santaman That ambient track you posted (Airbase) reminds me of a band I used to listen to that I cannot recall the name of. I don't have any of those CDs anymore either. I can picture the front of the album, but if I recall it I'll post.
You might like Ozric tentacles, if you haven't heard em already... early, electronic-style... a guy I worked with in LA who used to spin at clubs in Chicago in the late 80s/early 90s turned me on to them. During live shows if they were about to "train wreck" they'd play the same error like 3 or 4 times in a row and continue on... it made it such that the audience had no clue they flubbed. That was some sort of "Law of Tentacles" I think.

Santaman · Oct 1, 2017

^^ Interesting, not bad.

So you want 90's? or a little before that?
Alexander Robotnick and Ludus Pinsky: The Analog Sessions -N5 from Outer Space

I HAD to buy the CD/DVD to show my support these two gentlemen deserved it, the modular synth on the right is a Formant Modular

nice!

Santaman · Oct 12, 2017

Jarre and his warehouse of vintage synths, nice seeing him give some explanations about a few.

Ar-Pharazon · Oct 13, 2017

I'm not sure which vintage keyboards Tuomas Seppälä used when he visited Benny Andersson's studio earlier in the year, but this song shows a clear love for ABBA, despite Amberian Dawn being symphonic metal...and Finnish.

something I made a month ago using the iPad animoog synthesizer --- before I had to mix it out to garage band and such for multi tracking ..

it is only like three tracks here... on the syth from moog.

switching over I moved into the next work where one of my creations was placed with two others creations and mixed and such for this outcome here ====

I don't know if the dropbox will work but we will see..

it is cool

Santaman · Oct 15, 2017

^^The one on soundcloud was almost ambient-ish the dropbox one quite chaotic, as for the animoog, like all non real analogs it sounds too clean which is simply because you can't emulate inherent instabilities of the hardware.
Retrosound has a channel where he demonstrates a huge amount of analog and also digital synths.

He's using a Yamaha GX-1 which is a HUGE theather sized polyphonic analog synth, also a testbed for the CS-80 which is a marvelous old analog.

I listen to most everything casually but the genres I really heck with area old school prog
and neo-psychedelic rock made by hecking weirdos

cosmic mouse · Oct 24, 2017

I just recalled (oddly enough, why now?) the artist who used the Blade Runner clips... Kid Loops, but I think it was just this one song. I wish I still had this album, argh...

UncleRogi · Oct 24, 2017

Listening to Berlin, "Now It's My Turn"

Edit: You folk have me turning out my turntable...
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
to be followed by
Led Zepplin IV
and, of course,
The Dark Side of the Moon.

(am I showing my age here...?)

I forgot for a moment...
A Night at the Opera
The collected catalog of the Traveling Willburys...(This might take YEARS)

Santaman · Oct 24, 2017

Prog? Hmm..
Vuur -My Champion Berlin

And a little metal, I am actually so fortunate that I will see Lacuna Coil in concert in December , as far as I know they will perform this song as well then.
Blood, Tears, Dust which I love, the atmosphere of this song is really special.
