1. Waow ! 88 notes with unlimited polyphony, velocity and responsiveness, wonderful enveloppe and cross-resonance between the notes ! And no need for monitors ! That is a hell of a synth !

   (All levity aside, I love Aphex Twin’s piano work and it’s a wonderful cover)

   1. not unlimited: 88 voice polyphony.

2. I really think Syro, at 60 somethin’ minutes, is an “album”, not an EP.
   I agree about the cover being awesome though.

3. I’ll see your piano and raise you one ukulele.

4. It’s missing the birds and natural environment sounds that make the original outstanding 🙂

   I think this is the premiere of this piece. Piano swinging from the ceiling. Heard from an interview it was all about getting a doppler effect happening. Which isn’t heaps apparent in the video but it’s there.

   Cool cover too. But are there actually any FX, or is the sustain pedal just held?..

   1. There aren’t any effects at all – just the piano.

      1. Oh hey there! Thanks. Good stuff. =)

         1. Thanks, Drew :––)

6. Awesome work Josh!

   1. Thanks very much :—)

7. The sound and resonance from the piano he’s using is fantastic

   1. It’s quite amazing to hear the resonance fade in and out after each phrase. You don’t really hear it as much when you’re playing as it’s so subtle. The close mics really pick up those finer nuances.

8. I found this incredibly moving. I feel lucky to be living at a time when the Aphex Twin is creating music. Beautiful version.

   1. It’s such a beautiful piece. Glad you enjoyed it.

9. simple and beautiful is so nice after a day of untz untz. Thanks for this Josh. …and Rich

   1. You’re welcome. Thanks for checking it out :–)
