Axel F : Theme From Beverly Hills Cop : Recreated on Vintage Synthesizers

Рет қаралды 41,815

29 күн бұрын

I'm revisiting one of my favourite movie themes of all time composed by Harold Faltermeyer with a full length cover of The Theme from Beverly Hills Cop - "Axel F".
In the original, Harold used a Jupiter 8, JX-3P, Moog Model 15 and DX7 paired with a Linndrum.
I have stayed close to the original but have incorporated some other of my favourite synthesizers to give it my own flare.
Synths used in order of appearance:
Roland Jupiter 8
Oberheim OB8
Moog Multimoog
Roland Jupiter 4
Sequential Prophet 5
Roland Juno 6
Yamaha DX7 Mark II
Yamaha DX7 Mark I

I love Harold Faltermeyer. This, bad guys, tango and cash, running man, Fletch 1 and 2 , thief of hearts, loads more. He was in many ways subconsciously the sound of the 80s.

@lukemillionmusic 27 күн бұрын

He is fantastic! He certainly crafted his own unique sound and helped make those movies iconic. And he did so much other studio work like programming synths for Giorgio Moroder 😁

Good work! I watched the latest incarnation of BHC last night. Was happily surprised to see the original theme still being used, well loosely used. This was the first tune I learnt to play on keyboard in 1984, probably like many of us watching this who are also old!

@lukemillionmusic 27 күн бұрын

Harold Faltermeyer is a genius and a lot of people probably don’t realise what he contributed to electronic music. His film scores were epic and then there’s the work he did with Giorgio Moroder and Pet Shop Boys for example. He’s a huge inspiration to me!

I remember hearing this song for the first time, when I was a little kid, and it sounded like the future. I never heard anything like it, before it. I wanted a synth so bad when I was a kid, but my parents were poor AF. Now I own too many synths, samplers, drum machines, plugins, etc... I guess my GAS, comes with a little childhood trauma.
