Vangelis Monastery of La Rabida Live Improv on CP70 CS80 and Rhodes
Рет қаралды 16,841
Ай бұрынFully Live - with a nice soundscape on my CP70 with midi - playing #Korgwavestation AD, #JX10 and Omnisphere. I am using chords and melodies of this beautiful Vangelis song - but don't follow the structure. A little OBX just for fun - and a nice Moog Bass to keep things going

There a few live improvs of V on KZfaq - it’s the stuff I enjoy most. But also in his recordings you feel that quite a lot was made on the spot. It has always inspired me to work the same way.

CS80 was the main synthesizer on the entire Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) Discovery LP from 1979. along with mini moog, various ARPs (ARP Quadra) and other synths of the time.. CS80 is a super synth.. greetings from spain..

@@josesvintagekeys Hello Jose.. Here you can see some video clip (obviously it is a promotional video clip, it is not live) belonging to songs from the ELO's 1979 LP Discovery, in which you can see the recently deceased Richard Tandy, the legendary ELO keyboardist, with a CS80.. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z9CFqct7xLrLqqs.html According to some photos from that time of the recording sessions for that Discovery LP, Tandy also used an ARP Quadra among other ARP's, Moog's and other synths as I mentioned in my previous message.. Greetings from Spain
@gustinian Ай бұрын
Interestingly ELO switched to Oberheim OBx for the Album 'Time' (their most consistent and cohesive album in my opinion). You can see one in recent shots of Jeff Lynne's home.
@heavyheadrecords Ай бұрын
@@gustinian yes, for the entire TIME LP of 1981, (and the later TIME Tour 81/82) the main synth was Oberheim. but also moog and the others mentioned before.. Throughout the 70's, both live and in the studio, the synth most used by Tandy with the ELO was moog (mini moog, polymoog, memory moog etc.), but also ARP (ARP 2600 is the main synth in the LP Out Of The Blue from 1977, along with other ARPs such as Omny, Odyssey, etc.), Yamaha, Roland, Korg, the latter three mainly in the 80s. Along with all those synths, the sound of the ELO from 1971 to 1986, was created with other keyboards such as Honner's Clavinet, the classic Mellotron (mainly live), Wurlitzer electric piano, Grand Pianos Yamaha, etc etc... greetings from Spain

The Yamaha CS 80 is the most heaviest synth, it's weight is almost 100 kg, so i hope you're studio is on the groundlevel and i suppose you have a special construction underneath it. Nice piece of work, Vangelis was maybe the best synthplayer in the world.

Oh, man, Jose! You have such taste in instruments and the arrangement. It sounds lovely and I nearly applauded the stereo from the Rhodes panning tremolo. I had a Yamaha CP-60, but I tired of tuning it, and moving it. I have a Yamaha HX-5 dual-keyboard organ as a velocity/aftertouch controller. It probably weighs more than your CS-80. My sound is all software. That's requiered a lot of curation. Cherry Audio just put out a Rhodes Chroma (and the expander) emulation that I've not yet installed. I had a couple of Chromas over the years. Always adding the internal MIDI adapter, etc. Always dealing with the unrelable power supplies.... Bravo! I wish I knew you.

About two weeks ago I pulled my synths from the storage, connected everything, I have about the same amount. And started to play after several years. All of a sudden striked me. That sensation when you become one with the instrument and if you are not careful you can play until sunrise. I would like to play Vangelis but what usually come out is OMD, especially from the album Dazzle Ships, those industrial sounds with the Solina always present. What triggers my "Vangelis" is the chorus on the piano.... damn! Then I turn the other way, another part of my brain starts throwing things at me. And the sensation is that, is not me playing or creating, I feel I am receiving that information from someone else. I feel like an antenna. Those are not my words, I am just typing them. And I can stay in that trance for hours.
@josesvintagekeys Ай бұрын
love the Solina as well! Next week I will receive the VP330 - ultimate Vangelis string/choir machine :-) Looking forward to your music!
@vjrei Ай бұрын
@@josesvintagekeys I have been collecting more synths from the 90s since I am a fan of electronica. Those remixes of the Depeche Mode singles, the same with Pet Shop Boys, Erasure and OMD.... The oldest synth I have is a D50 and I love it. If I had to choose I would keep that one. The VP330 is a monster, if you connect that to a very wide reverb... like those used in trance today.... you will be opening a portal. It is amazing that with a good instrument, all you need is just one key. I have an access virus Ti2, and I keep jumping presents and they are good and such but they are effects, not instruments. Very nice collection you have there and you relly know how to use them.
