Totally true. The nicest thing of TH-cam (music) are discoveries like these. The musicians on big labels will find their way to their target audience.

Really enjoyed your jam !
@@yawninghyaena this is a real shit music !nothing compare to classical or popular piano music it’s just good for left wing people who know nothing and don’t practice any instrument!!!
I like how the batteries fall down each after a while. I think it's not on purpose but one could interpret the whole performance in the sense of "nothing lasts forever in life", everything is fading ..
Nice! I remember listening to Terry Riley and Steve Reich on college radio in the 80s and being totally blown away. And of course Fripp and Eno's Heavenly Music Corporation.
Now I am 70 years old and this music is a shit ,when I was young I bought the record of T Relley and la monte young if I remember but now compare to any classical or pop or folk or blues play on the piano all these music have no interest .
I’m a guitar player, but seeing this keyboard layout with the analog synths (or what ever those are) makes me want to practice playing my midi keyboard more often.
I would encourage you to do so. I am also, primarily, a guitar player but I have recently reconnected with piano/keyboard and really love it. Thanks for watching.
Crazy right? Synthesizers are more natural than most acoustic instruments in my opinion. If you never played one you should! Moog factory let's you play a couple Edit: I don't see a single moog in the video my eyes are bad but moog are still cool
Found that exact thought at the very beginning…I’ve wore that a time or two yes great jacket, then I got lost in whatever this was. As far as I’m concerned whomever may rile Terry anytime. Bravoski lol
Thank you. I have been reminded about the project I have to complete that is in the basement. There is an old Hamond Organ down there waiting for the day that my imagination and intention cross paths again. It needs a new case to be built around it form when it was existing at another location before it fell into my archives. It must have been a damp location as the bottom of the frame has rotted away. After the power cable was wired back into a working state, and the power switch flipped to on, it pulled itself back into speaking mode. I quickly realized that a well placed trim pot between the power supply and the mechanical voice section would sound really nice. It was to be done when the cabinet is rebuilt. But time has a way with me and the archives contain many such ideas that are lost to the outer world but are well stored in the suspension fields of my mind. I will set to work on that project sooner then later. Sometimes being a member of the P.O.D. Caste(People On Delay) can be a heavy burden but it usually works out for the best in the end. This is the first video of yours that I have seen and i will go back into your archive and watch the rest. Thank you again. ENJOY.
Met Maestro Riley in Lisbon in 1996 or 7 on his piano recital. It was a revelation. Later I wished to invite to our Festival in Banská Śtiavnica, Slovakia, but due to some health problems of Maestro it dit not happen. Such a pity. I have a beautifull photo of Terry and me from Lisbon and nice e mails from him. Beeing a cellist I played one of his quartets in Bratislava. What a joy!
My 1980s ps3 rests under the care of me mam - ready for another encounter with the future generations. Loved the ability to hold down the rhythm buttons and merge them - also if you hold down the keys on the shorter sounds like guitar and vibe you can bypass the polyphony and get a realy cool mono lead sound with portamento
How am I JUST finding out about you??? This is brilliant! This world is so full of a lack of exploration and creativity. Using batteries to hold notes out? I'm very excited to have found your channel. I need this kind of spirit in my life. Thank you!
I am very sorry that you can't make it. Hope to see you in the future. For any others interested, my band Basidium will be performing at Eliza's Lounge 52 High St. Mineral Point, Wisconsin on March 30, 2024 at 8pm.
ok, I want to share it...I closed my eyes..I took an astral journey...it was a post nuclear Earth, a vast land of sand...a warm breeze caressing my face, skinned by the incessant sun, made me I feel lost. Then a small caravan in the distance, the closer I get the more clearly I hear a melody. A wise old man on the first wagon sings a song on a strange instrument, calms my anxiety. I choose to move forward with them, I don't like being alone. Suddenly a bird came to us, out of nowhere. We are enchanted, we thought they were extinct. Then it flies away as we stare into the scorching sun with a smile of hope. Thank you Mister Tortoise. With love from an Italian pianist.
That was remarkable, I'm so glad the YT algorithm suggested your channel. I've got a lot of catching up to do and I'm really looking forward to it. Cheers 👍🏼
Thank you very much! I am glad you like the studio. As soon as the weather warms I will be moving to my summer studio in the back yard shed for a change of scenery.
Thank you. A wonderfull session. A very nice find. I will definately have a stroll thru your work. Have a walk on mine as well. Also very experimental. I kind of understand your flow.!
Thank you very much for your kind comment. A John Cage prepared piano is like a chef preparing a fine dining experience. Mine on the other hand is like popping a frozen dinner in the microwave.

And while she told me 'this can also make music' she threw it into the floor and smiled at me (-: The level of creativity as a grown up sometimes needs restoring into a state which was lost a long time ago..

Aswell to see the old batterie trick. My uncle did it back in the 80‘s - first time I saw this. Now he is throwing them out of the sky…
Nice! I remember listening to Terry Riley and Steve Reich on college radio in the 80s and being totally blown away. And of course Fripp and Eno's Heavenly Music Corporation.

Exactly!
Freezed in sound.

Quite the opposite of usual TH-cam synth content. Good music from inexpensive instrument setup. Well done sir!
Full agree. It's not the instruments, it's the artists who make good music !
Thank you! When it's music it is always good no matter what you use to make it.
Ah I think its the same with marriage, but than again, its doing it for me!❤
Music is obviously top notch but that jacket is where it's at. Love the style.

Thank you very much for your kind comment.

Of all the different ways Ive seen to hold keys, Ive never seen Two 9 Volt batteries! 😀
One 9 volt isn't enough for most keyboards. Thanks for watching.
