  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ก.ย. 2024
  • An Italo dance song inspired by the classic songs of circa 1983/84, similar to records that we used to play on turntables at parties with my teenager friends back then.
    Prophet-5, Memorymoog: brass
    Juno-60, Memorymoog: strings
    Emulator: orchestra hits
    Memorymoog: synth bell
    Juno-60: bass
    DMX: drum machine

    I just broke down in tears when I heard the Memory Moog. It's like time travel to my childhood. Everyone's younger. The grandparents are alive. The neighbors' dog comes to the fence, smiling. I smell grass cut 30+ years ago. Blink. 2016 again. What a trip a few chords of music will elicit.

    I love this! Born in 1956 I followed the evolution of synthesized music from its infancy, and was amazed at how incredibly versatile they could be especially when not striving too closely to emulate real instruments. This song has a wonderful dance-able element, and sounds like the best of 1980s synth pop/disco. Well done!

    Beautiful, I wish this music had been more popular in my country. I heard bits of it in movies, and later in Amiga MOD files (which your Emulator orchestra hit especially reminds me of), but never on the radio. Closest thing to Italo I remember hearing on the radio was Kraftwerk's "Tour De France".

    My current Memorymoog and Prophet-5 are not (yet) MIDIfied, so I simply doubled the same part by playing it on both synths. More Memorymoog videos coming soon ;)

      What you're referring to as the "cheesy" 80's synth music that sounds very 80's I would estimate it started dying around the mid nineties.

    The MemoryMoog sound is gorgeous. Amazing gear from the giants of synths. Prophet 5 (Dave Smith-RIP), MemoryMoog (Robert Moog-RIP), DMX Drum machine (Tom Oberheim) and the Emulator (Dave Rossum). Tom and Dave are still going strong.

      Something like a thin digibell/resobell/digiclav/clavichord sound. Usually it made with ring mod (FM-like), triangle or square wave on high octaves. Also It need the quality high pass filter.

    The brass sounds huge! And I always thought Prophet-5 was the "weediest" of the classic analog polys. Or, are you "cheating" and MIDI-ing up the Prophet-5 to the Memorymoog like the description implies?
    Say, what happened to your Memorymoog? I haven't seen it in your recent videos.
