NIKKOLLECTIVE feat. The Pocket Queen | Keyscape Sessions
Рет қаралды 203,170
Күн бұрынA few months ago, we decided to test how well Keyscape works onstage in a large, live band setting and see how well it would hold up sonically with a lot of live instruments.
Since we are big fans of Nikko Ielasi - a killer up-and-coming player in LA, we knew that his funky group NikKollective would be ideal to come over and shoot a smokin' live version of their song “A Quest 4 Pocket” from their new album, “NikKollective Vol.2"
They are soooo TIGHT and we had an absolute blast! :-)
And BTW… if you haven’t seen The Pocket Queen’s videos, check her out… she is amazing!
KEYSCAPE PATCHES USED:
00:06 Rhodes - LA Custom Old Sampler
00:16 Duo - LA Piano + LA Rhodes
01:24 Rhodes - Classic Amp Stereo Phaser
02:23 LA Custom C7 - Bright
04:22 Rhodes - LA Custom (w/Phaser ON)
Nikko is triggering his Keyscape Laptop from a Roland A88 MIDI controller.
Jordan is triggering his Keyscape Laptop from a Sequential REV2 keyboard.
Patch changing on the fly done with the square MIDI Fighter Twisters.
All audio is coming from laptops.
BAND:
Nikko Ielasi: Keyscape / Composer
The Pocket Queen: Drums
Jordan Childs: Organ / Keyscape
Joe Cleveland: Bass
Juan Ariza: Guitar
Mark Hartsuch: Tenor Sax
Enrique Sanchez: Trumpet
Matt Von Roderick: Trumpet

Deep Chills,Over The Top Thrills! I am so inspired with your music(that cleanses my soul) and your determination to move forward,up and beyond your (small) setback;i say small because of an apparent "Blessing-In-Disguise" moment in your life that has surely moved you into an upper league of the spiritual kind that is electrifying to say the least. I believe greater things are coming your way. A selfless move on your part as all of you together create a deep,rich soul experience and where the chills are created. I am sure to keep my eye and ear on all of you and hope that one day you will be able to have a concert in the Portland,Oregon area. Thank-You, All Of You for Manifesting for all of us. L.L.

Indeed, after watching the realistic bass sounds of Trillian I got the same idea...although I did appreciate the fresheness and groove of such an energetic live session. Anyway, I would be amazed at watching the same piece played out of Spectrasonics marvellous samples!

Love this. These young people are the future. In this current time of negativity, disease, and racial tension. I believe THIS right hear figuratively is God's real plan and intention. Watch and listen to these babies( I'm almost 65) Black, White, Female, diverse cultures and nationalities, I believe the keyboardist, Nikko is Italian, "working" , " playing" together. Young sister on drums calls herself " The Pocket Queen, played a Beyonce. Recognize some o the other musicians too from Berkely.
