I certainly hope this music is still moving people in a hundred years, and, at the rate we're moving with A.I., you may indeed be correct about replicants!
As a person from the younger generation, never let Blade Runner die. It's a masterpiece that will never age and a message that will only become more relevant for years to come. Amazing cover, you captured the moment perfectly ❤
I've been trying to get my partners 17 year old daughter to watch the original as she's very into animé and game design. (I got the Bladerunner PC game back in the late 90's when I got my first PC). She refuses to watch it though, just says it's too old 🤦
So beautiful. Thank you for doing this. At 60, went into the Army at 17, retired at 37, still working for the USMC. 43 years now total service. But the most important thing raised a son as a single dad from the age of 6. He is now 22, chemistry degree and an Army officer. This song always makes me think now how fast time went and all my good memories are lost in time. So many things I have seen since 1963.
Thank you for your wonderful comments, and thank you for your service in the USMC. My children are also in their 20's, and it's a great pleasure to see them out there enjoying life. This music reminds us how precious life is, and also that it is precious because it is not permanent. We are our memories, and as long as we are alive, the moments are not yet lost.
So many people love to copy and emulate Vangelis, and for good reason, his music is soul searching and amazing. Its a testimony to just how great and creative the amazing genius of a man truly was. And yet.....Vangelis couldn't read or write music, but instead, he could create it in his head and feel it in his heart, as it flowed through his arms, hands and fingers to the keyboard. Many are inspired and influenced by his work, but very few could even begin to be like him. This Tears in Rain cover is excellent, by far the best I've heard on YT, and captures the depth of feeling and emotion perfectly that Vangelis was capable of. So 10 out of 10 from me! Not many can capture the Vangelis musical soul like you do.
Synth sounds 10/10, feeling and emotion whilst playing 10/10, skills 10/10. This is by far the best interpretation of this theme I've ever seen/heard. Vangelis would be very proud... thank you for this.
This was just simply stunning! The emotion that you convey through your playing brings shivers to the spine, in that way that only music can do! I swear that if I hadn't had known, and someone played this for me, I wouldn't honestly believe I was listening to the original by Vangelis himself!
Many thanks for your comments! You can listen to my versions of half of the album with my Vangelis playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLKEwScAT610GHgpJL-4B2oRz4dLp3idjK.html
Many thanks! I believe this was the last piece that they played at the funeral service for Vangelis, which does seem appropriate given the subject of the piece.
I closed my eyes and got the timing right for Roy Batty's monologue, the dove flying away, and Gaff interrupting Decard's thoughts on what just transpired.
Taking nothing away from this incredible rendition, but zimmer deserves a high five for respecting vangelis' music, and that respect turned into a beautifully eloquent masterpiece of music as well.
very nice cover of one of the most tender pieces of music ever written for such a dramatic and violent end of a life in a movie. Vangelis had that capability to create such emotional pieces.
This is incredible. Even after watching it a few hours ago, it still send chills down my spine and chokes me up a little because you manage to capture and bring forth what makes this such an amazing piece of music. What an incredible rendition, played by someone who obviously loves and cares about Vangelis' work. And you make it seem so easy whilst all those subtleties are far from easy. It certainly makes me want to be a better and more focussed player. Thank you for this, very inspring.
This is absolutely one of the best comments I've ever gotten! Comments like this keep me going when I feel like I'm not getting anywhere. I deeply appreciate it. :)
Thanks so much! I have noticed that TH-cam promotes the videos that get the most comments, not the most likes. So although I love getting likes, your comments mean far more!
I live far from you (in the northwest of Spain), but I think I felt the same when I saw Blade Runner and listened the music by Vangelis for the first time. I think only Vangelis could have made a better performance. Thank you for your amazing job. I'm just a begginner with keyboards, but I'll try to emulate this piece with my Korg Kronos and Arturia, because maybe it's my favourite instrumental creation.
Thank you for your kind words! It is indeed beautiful music. The Kronos and Arturia should make a great pair for you. In addition to my other Vangelis covers, I hope you check out my video of our wonderful trip to Spain from two years ago. Unfortunately we didn't get to your region. Bilbao, etc.. sounds wonderful.
@@TaurusTarkus Thank you for your answer. I wish I lived in your city / town / village to learn from you. As to Spain, like in any other country, there are so much to see out of the big cities. If you return someday to Spain, I suggest Santiago de Compostela. It´s not my town, but i'ts near. Anyway, you made a nice video about your Spanish trip.All the best
@@Ondulante We have a friend who hiked the last few days of the Camino de Santiago and talked about it. The pictures of the cathedral in particular look very beautiful!
Oh wow, totally gobsmacked here 😮 You totally nailed it and captured the poignancy with all heart and soul... Why doesn't this video have the views it deserves...
Probably my favourite moment in any film, ever, music, Rutger, camera, the pigeon .....you asked me for the feedback , you nailed it. OBV you can tell that it is not original since it is not as saturated as the original which was squashed by tape in a very nice way but this is a cover after all. Absolutely gorgeous. Harmonica preset is very close, as close as you can make it on Hydra. There is no science behind that sound - raw analogue oscillators slightly detuned sharkfin saws, 2 pole filter and tons of expression. Hydra, being digital is a bit flat that way, that initial harmonica saw punch that cuts through as soon as you play the note is a little bit flat, as i said, due to the different source of sound. But absolutely close, and that ending, wow. Maybe just for fun try to make harmonica on REV 2 (not that initial patch called Vangelis lol, it has tons of square while Vangelis used saw only) and use Hydra as pad to accompany the v340. Sound design wise, harmonica patch is there, you nailed the envelope. Plus, you play it all very well.
Thanks so much for your comments! Yes; I want to work on getting the lead sound on the Rev2... The lead sound that I play on the Hydrasynth here: I always think of as the "Blade Runner Brass" patch, as it is so close to what we hear on the Blade Runner Main Titles. Do you think on the Rev2 it is best program this with the saw/triangle mix oscillator?? Any High Pass Filter? What is your favorite instrument for that sound? Deckard's Dream? Thanks so much!
Many thanks!! I love hearing about goosebumps and tears! I love when these videos are found by the right people like you. Here's my Vangelis Playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLKEwScAT610GHgpJL-4B2oRz4dLp3idjK.html
Wow; you're an amazing musician! I once did some pedal work with my Hammond on a live recording of Hoedown, but I don't have a video of it. It gives me an idea of how difficult it can be. Some of your pedal work must give your core a real workout. I've done a couple covers that show the pipe organ on the Yamaha Montage (God of Our Fathers and Promenade from Pictures at an Exhibition). Keep up the great work.
Merci beaucoup! Je suis heureux d'entendre que des gens comme vous écoutent avec un bon équipement audio. Je mixe avec de grosses enceintes, et puis je suis parfois déçu quand je l'entends plus tard sur de simples baladeurs.
Absolut fantastic 😳😍👏👍 Vangelis este omul care a adus armonia și acordurile sintetizatoarelor la niveluri incredibile. Foarte greu de copiat, dar apreciez munca ta! Apreciez și instrumentele tale și talentul bineînțeles!
Multumesc mult pentru comentariile voastre amabile! Da; Vangelis a adus un nivel bogat de căldură și inimă instrumentelor electronice și este foarte greu de copiat. Mulțumesc din nou.
Thanks for your comments! I used to play more guitar but was never as good at it... probably because I started later. Vangelis had the unique ability to play synthesizers with the emotion that is easier to get with other instruments like the guitar.
Thanks. I think I sweat more than most, and that gives me more control and a better feel. As I mention in one of my Making Of videos, the ribbon controller that Yamaha used on the GX-1 and CS-80 has a wonderful feel.
@@TaurusTarkus on first reading my old brain interpreted the sweating more than most as the source of your more control and better feel and not the cloth. 😂Like many on a certain level I yearn for the landmark synths, but your work on these modern very attainable synths amply show there is little rational justification to pay much more than those you use. Have you done much with voice mods in the 2.0 hydrasynth firmware?
Yes; I didn't phrase that too well. The little pieces of synthetic fiber remove the friction that I usually feel with the HydraSynth ribbon controller. I bought a long strip of ribbon that I'm trying to figure out how to attach in a more permanent way. If you by voice mods, you mean the Voice Component Modulation template that Creative Spiral did, yes, I made a whole mess of copies of that and now start with those most of the time. However... my HydraSynth has been in the shop for the last couple months. I accidentally spilled a little green tea into it, which damaged the polyphonic aftertouch on several keys toward the middle. It didn't take much. So that's a little heartbreaking and expensive, although they tell me that it's fixable. I took it to Three Wave Music near New York, and ASM made them ship it to California for them to work on. One of my worst mistakes. @@klstay
I finally got around to watching blade runner 2049, and the ending immediately brought me back here to listen again to your incredible rendition of this theme. Absolutely wonderful!
Both movies are and will be incredible classics. But for me rutgers words with vangelis' backing haunting instrumental are what makes the first movie. And goslings passing on the steps with the instrumental tribute to vangelis' genius is pure magic
Thank you very much indeed for your kind comments! I loved visiting London a few years ago when my daughter was studying there and plan to visit more of your wonderful country in the next few years.
Thanks so much for your comments! If you're into synthesizers, you may want to check out my "Making Of" videos where I talk about programming the sounds: th-cam.com/video/ZF_yumNhCNQ/w-d-xo.html
I definitely will do and I am becoming more interested as I develop my compositional palette. I am a production music composer working mainly in orchestral genres but have recently started to venture into hybrid trailer styles and using more synths. Problem is I just don’t know which synths are the best to use. Heard good things about Serum and Omnisphere. By the way, Bladerunner is my favourite all time film and Vangelis, well what can I say, his score is that film. Great stuff you’re doing keeping it alive…Bravo 👍
Thanks~ Regarding which synthesizers, I am more of an old fashion hardware guy, but I started in the mid-'80s. Advances in Software certainly make it more and more appealing. For the kind of music I like, I think analog can sound better, especially in person. I still would rather have an analog version of something as flexible as the Hydrasynth. It's hard to know if I could hear those improvements on a recording. I believe Omnisphere is very popular for soundtrack work because it has so many, many good sounds. One can sometimes spend a lot of time just going through them. When I was working on Blade Runner Blues, I was struggling for a while to get the lead patch. At one point I heard "Vangelis for Omnisphere" by Luftrum and bought it even though I don't have Omnisphere! I thought it was the best version of that patch that I had heard, and that I could use it if I couldn't get something better... in addition to wanting to support good work.
Wow, that is really great work! Great production and recording. I've been dabbling in film score covers on and off for a couple of years now. I was watching 2024 last night and this piece really struck me, so today I went poking around to see what I could find, and your cover video came up. Rare beauty! Fantastic. Very inspiring.
Thanks so much! I enjoyed your American Beauty cover. I recorded some music from that film several years ago and should probably revisit it. I really love Thomas Newman.
Many thanks! Yes, I love it too. It was possibly the most enjoyable cover that I've worked on. It wasn't a difficult as many, and the music is glorious.
This is just fantastic! Best cover ever! I always loved the music of Vangelis and always will. The most magic part of this melody in my opinion is that cord at 2:52
Thanks so much for your comments! I love hearing which parts are peoples favorite, and it's interesting to notice that, of the handful of people who have pointed to a favorite time, all are different! Music is so personal.

I'm watching both films tomorrow. Even got a bottle of Black in to drink. Blade Runner will never die

Beautiful music brings out the best in people.
Listening to this music IS like travelling through space. It takes you to another dimension.
Indeed it does. A lot of the music of Vangelis is transportive: sometimes space, sometimes other countries, times, and worlds.

Blade Runner is a film about humanity, it leads us to reflect on our condition of being what we are
Sometimes it seems that the Blade Runner World's replicants are more human than its humans.
@@TaurusTarkus Yes, the replicants were as human as we are
👍🏻
Commerce is our goal here at Tyrell. “More Human than Human”
Tyrell is probably the Least Human character. “Rachel is an experiment; nothing more.”
This performance was so good that I almost felt like piece of Vangalis is alive and still with us. Thank you for that moment!
Thanks for such a beautiful comment!

No other quote/piece of soundtrack moves me as much as this, except maybe Gut's theme/Bonfire of Dreams
I'll have to check that out.
I doubt even Vangelis plays it through complete as you do. Amazing
Thanks! Vangelis improvised a lot and then did a lot of overdubbing, which allowed him to work much, much faster! I work very slowly.
Wow! Great performance!

It didn't take much. So that's a little heartbreaking and expensive, although they tell me that it's fixable. I took it to Three Wave Music near New York, and ASM made them ship it to California for them to work on. One of my worst mistakes. @@klstay
Incredible. Absolutely incredible.
Thanks for your kind comments!
One of the most beautiful themes ever
Indeed, it is. Thank you for your comments!
My goodness, so lovely! I love Vangelis' Blade Runner sound track so much I sleep to Blade Runner ambient tracks, and I must say, you do it justice!
Thanks so much! The combination of the music and the sounds of the soundtrack is magical. I hope you enjoy my others as well.
Wow… this is the best cover of the song I ever heard. Great work! 😮
Thanks so much for your kind comments!
Super! Thank you!
Thanks for your comment!
Unbelievable, sir! I’m crying already!
Many thanks for the great comments! I hope you enjoy my other Vangelis covers as well.
Nicely done!!!!!!!! wow. One of my favourite moments in movie history where music and screen just blow your mind......
Thanks! An amazing scene for sure.
Thank you for doing this correctly-sound design and artistic nuance is excellent.
Thanks for your comments! It's gratifying to know that people appreciate the effort.
My goodness.
This brings tears back 😢
Thank you!!!!
Many thanks!
I finally got around to watching blade runner 2049, and the ending immediately brought me back here to listen again to your incredible rendition of this theme. Absolutely wonderful!
Thanks so much! That is the best scene! It was wise to revisit the music at that spot.
This music has the ability to make me cry
You are definitely not alone.
Both movies are and will be incredible classics. But for me rutgers words with vangelis' backing haunting instrumental are what makes the first movie. And goslings passing on the steps with the instrumental tribute to vangelis' genius is pure magic
Thanks for the great comments!
Outstanding. RIP Vangelis... all the best memories are... ours, thanks.
Many thanks!
excellent taste in the execution and programming of sounds and automations... the best cover of this song heard
Thank you for your kind comments!
omg....r u Vangelis ?!?! gratz, absolutely beautiful and perfect !!!
Thank you very much for your comments!
Great work, my friend. Vangelis would be proud...but surely he wouldn't said it!
Thanks so much! I wish he could have seen my covers.

...Time to die. Thanks for your comment.
Wow note perfect. Puts ours to shame!
Thank you very much! I enjoyed your cover of 1492: Conquest of Paradise. I should probably look more into the MIDI controller you used on it.
@@TaurusTarkus Considering your setup, anything less than a real Zyklus MPS unit would be a crying shame!
Oh boy that was so good. I'm in awe of your synth skills.
Thanks so much for your comments! If you're into synthesizers, you may want to check out my "Making Of" videos where I talk about programming the sounds: th-cam.com/video/ZF_yumNhCNQ/w-d-xo.html
I definitely will do and I am becoming more interested as I develop my compositional palette. I am a production music composer working mainly in orchestral genres but have recently started to venture into hybrid trailer styles and using more synths. Problem is I just don’t know which synths are the best to use. Heard good things about Serum and Omnisphere. By the way, Bladerunner is my favourite all time film and Vangelis, well what can I say, his score is that film. Great stuff you’re doing keeping it alive…Bravo 👍
Thanks~ Regarding which synthesizers, I am more of an old fashion hardware guy, but I started in the mid-'80s. Advances in Software certainly make it more and more appealing. For the kind of music I like, I think analog can sound better, especially in person. I still would rather have an analog version of something as flexible as the Hydrasynth. It's hard to know if I could hear those improvements on a recording. I believe Omnisphere is very popular for soundtrack work because it has so many, many good sounds. One can sometimes spend a lot of time just going through them. When I was working on Blade Runner Blues, I was struggling for a while to get the lead patch. At one point I heard "Vangelis for Omnisphere" by Luftrum and bought it even though I don't have Omnisphere! I thought it was the best version of that patch that I had heard, and that I could use it if I couldn't get something better... in addition to wanting to support good work.
@@TaurusTarkus Thanks for the info on synths...much appreciated!
Best of luck.
Beautiful interpretation and an exquisite combination of instruments.
Thank you very much! I'm very lucky to have such wonderful instruments.
Masterpiece 👏👏👏
Many thanks!
Utterly awesome ❤
Thanks so much!
Beautifull
Thanks!
Wow, that is really great work! Great production and recording. I've been dabbling in film score covers on and off for a couple of years now. I was watching 2024 last night and this piece really struck me, so today I went poking around to see what I could find, and your cover video came up. Rare beauty! Fantastic. Very inspiring.
Thanks so much! I enjoyed your American Beauty cover. I recorded some music from that film several years ago and should probably revisit it. I really love Thomas Newman.
Perfect👍👍👍
Thank you for your comments!
amazing
Thanks!
Fabulous rendition. I never tire of this track. Thanks for sharing.
Many thanks! Yes, I love it too. It was possibly the most enjoyable cover that I've worked on. It wasn't a difficult as many, and the music is glorious.
This is just fantastic! Best cover ever! I always loved the music of Vangelis and always will. The most magic part of this melody in my opinion is that cord at 2:52
Thanks so much for your comments! I love hearing which parts are peoples favorite, and it's interesting to notice that, of the handful of people who have pointed to a favorite time, all are different! Music is so personal.
You've done a man's job sir
Many thanks!
Mr Taurus Tarkus ... magnificent rendition of this mesmerising music. Thank you very much.
Many thanks for your comments!
