Nicely done and a good vote for digging deeper into a modest setup. I especially appreciate his use of a home organ. After all, Vangelis tortured one to death for "L'Apocalypse De Animeaux" and it gave its life for his mods to great effect.
I have to register a small protest here. I was playing Vangelis on public radio between '79 and '86, so I've been immersed in his work for a long time, with accompanying high regard. Many people are copying his sound and Jarre's a lot lately and accurately, but don't you want to take that somewhere new or higher? Me-too just means you sound like someone ELSE. Don't make it too easy for yourself; stretch out a little more. A synth rig should be more than a sideways digital player piano. Now if someone could do an accurate emulation of almost anything by Oregon or a gem like Michel Sanchez's "Windows," I'd be even more impressed!
Thanks for the comment:) Besides the live play i use sequencing to get a more profound sound.
Greetings Arnaud
I was impressed by Avigoorn's lush sound. I don't mind the similarities to Vangelis' sound.
Does every composer have to reinvent the orchestra? No – they just need to use it in an original way.
If you worry too much about novelty, your music will be dated quickly.
