Tubular Bells For The Moog Synthesizer (Preview)
One question – why?
Why not?
What is the Akai item in the background of the homepage pic?
Possibly the EWI?
It is the front panel of the Akai sampler S6000 features a removable, full-function remote control panel allowing operation from a convenient location within a 30 meter range.
Oooooh maaaan listen to that 06secs.
Just swim in awesomeness 3min05 till 5min01.
Mark brilliantly transcribed, performed.
* Just one tiny ting Mark : writing on front cover RUINS the cover.
Keep cover writing free just as on original.
Let the Moog, Patch Cable speak for themselves.
Also there’s no point drawing attention to yourself this way.
Allow your brilliance to speak for itself just from the interpretation, performance.
Write your name on the back in small letters so people discover for themselves. *
Has there really been any entirely original sounding music with synths after the Tubeway Army Replicas album?
In glorious mono
That first pic – it’s an Arturia Moog Modular V?!
Sorry, that just ruins it for me.
Haha, i remember this from when i was still in school being taught about the wonderfully colourful history of the piltdown man, shame he turned out to be a big fat hoax, slippery little buggers used a jaw from an orangutang and teeth from some ape, oh dear! at least the music was better than the education!
I see why he disabled comments and dislikes under the trailer video. Absolutely cheap and nasty shite.
@Admim Synthhead
You need to fix your Personal Attack policy.
When nasty immature idiots as Digdog make cheap nasty immature personal attacks against artists.
Really why is it cheap shiite idiots as Digdog very likely never made anything of note creatively
Always show themselves up as the nasty cheap shite they really are.
Cowards hiding behind keyboards.
Well, Mr Wooo (Mark) that was my honest and true reaction while listening through to the video, it wasn’t a contrived personal attack, just an honest reaction to a very amateur sounding product being sold to a buying public.
@Digdog
If you had even 1/20th talent of Mark then you would upload your own musical output.
This is what you should be doing.
Get yourself away. Make music. Make creativity.
But oh no.
Typical of people as you, you havent done anything of note creatively.
All you can do is show your lack of creative talent.
# “my honest and true reaction”
There is Nothing honest Nothing true in your reaction :
“I see why he disabled comments and dislikes under the trailer video. Absolutely cheap and nasty shite.”
# “sold to a buying public” really? you haven’t even surveyed 100 of the buying public to make such a gormless statement.
# “a very amateur sounding” : until you can prove otherwise you are well beneath amateur pratt.
# BTW if you spent a little time on Synthopia you would realise I speak up for artists
from cheap nasty shite as you.
What you’re implying is that a person cannot have a valid opinion unless they are able to do better in any said field, which is absurd. I can go to a restaurant and know a meal is bad, but how ? I can’t cook, so why would I know ? well, I base it on past experiences and expectations.
The same is with music, as an avid collector of synthesizer music I know what sounds good and what sounds rubbish.
Of course opinions are different, but we, as humans do adhere to generally accepted benchmarks. For example, would you rather eat a nice meal, or a rotten egg ? If you swapped John Williams’s score to Star Wars for a recording of a hobby keyboard player on a basic organ, which would the majority of people prefer ? and would they have to be actual composers themselves to make such an opinion ?
I think you are very good at being angry. Maybe you should simply activate the comments, likes and dislikes on your youtube video and let the ‘buying public’ offer their opinions on it. For me, this project sounds bad in every way, poor choice of instruments, amateur production and mixing, nothing sounds right. I can put on an early Tangerine Dream or Mike Oldfield album and everything sounds great. Why is there this difference ?
I’m sorry this has upset you so much, lack of talent paired with insecurity does indeed lead to a furious reaction to criticism.
