- Blade Runner (End Titles) by Vangelis (Cover)
Like most boys growing up in the '80s, I loved Harrison Ford movies and wanted to see Blade Runner, but my parents wouldn't let me see rated R movies. We eventually got a VCR, and at some point I as able to rent the VHS tape. As you know, the music can leave one in awe... especially if you are into synthesizers. Music was much more expensive and valuable in those days; I could not imagine a world where people can now download or stream more music than we can ever listen to. I was always saving to buy an instrument, and so I didn't even buy a CD player until around 1990. I would only buy used CD's, and one day I hit the jackpot and found Themes by Vangelis, which opens with the Blade Runner End Titles.
What an amazing piece... so many sounds. I like to talk about keyboards far more than normal people like to hear about them... and some have asked about making a video about my set up. So I'm making a companion video for keyboardists and fans of the Blade Runner soundtrack where I talk a bit about the sounds I used. If you know what sounds are where, it may even be more enjoyable to watch:

Vangelis himself would be proud of your cover. Very good indeed.
Many thanks for your kind comments! I wish he had seen my covers of his beautiful music.
The fact that you are playing this in real time truly amazes me.
Thanks so much! It took a lot of work to get it to that point.
Incredible live performance with so much focus. Vangelis must be gracefull
Absolutely ASTONISHING!!!!👏👏👏
Thank you for your very kind comments!
R.I.P Vangelis great master..
Hallo! Thank you for your creativity, for cosmic music, for masterpieces in music! Thank you very much!
Thank you for your wonderful comments!
Amazing, brilliant.
Thanks so much!
...directly to the favourites. Thank you!
Thanks!
What I would love to be able to play like you. Just found your channel. Very imppressive and inspiring. The pure warmth of the "Hardware" analog sound is something else. Love it. Great work!
Thank you very much for your comments! I just checked out your channel, and I think we may be kindred spirits. As a keyboardist, you may enjoy my "Making Of" videos. I enjoy ambient music by Robert Rich and Steve Roach. I am currently enjoying your "Blade Runner Bliss" video.
Electronic Music Master ✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽👍
Many thanks!
Amazing as ever, almost identical to Vangelis' original version, well done!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it.
brother.. Vangelis is smiling down on you.. great cover once again.
Thanks a lot!
Awesome! Thank you for covering Vangelis The Great! Bounty - End Titles please...
Thanks for your comments! That's an excellent suggestion and one I haven't thought about too much. I just listened to it twice. Will have to think on it some more.
Wow my favorite vover rendition even above much more famous covers. It has its own colour and keeps the film noir film of original, it is truer to original.
Many thanks!
De vez em quando surgem genius....Vangelis e um deles..
Imortal na sua obra.❤ mas vc tbem e talentoso no seu olhar na sua visao...parabens
À medida que aprendo essas peças maravilhosas, fico ainda mais impressionado com seu brilho. Obrigado por seus comentários gentis.
You are genuinely incredible. I’m sorry your channel isn’t bigger I honestly don’t understand.
All of your covers are like as close to the original as one could get and to be in real time is mind blowing. Great attention to detail.
Absolutely amazing, can’t wait to see more.
Have you ever tried to cover anything by M83? Some of the stuff off DSVII I bet you could knock out the park.
Thanks so much for your kind words! They help to get my videos seen by more people. This video took a long time to put together, and I'm glad when it is seen by the right people. Thanks for the suggestion. I am not familiar with M83, so I started listening to DSVII last evening. Very nice, and I will keep listening.
Wow, this is amazing! Spot on recreation, and such lovely cinematic sounds!
Many thanks for your comments! Please check out my other Blade Runner covers.
Great job!
Many thanks!
Beautifully orchestrated. Would love you going through your workflow a bit, how you layered the prophet X, how you switch patches, deconstructing of some patches, the reverb you’re using. ❤
Thanks so much! Please check out my "Making of a Cover" videos. I have three and will release a fourth one soon. I think they will answer some of your questions. In the new one, I will deconstruct the Blade Runner Blues lead patch. I think I have a Playlist where you can watch them in order. The reverb in my previous Vangelis covers is Valhalla VintageVerb. On Blade Runner Blues, I am using Universal Audio's Lexicon 224. I like both and have a good deal more to learn about reverb. When switching patches on the Prophet Rev2, I always put the patch I want to switch to in the User Bank U1 slot. I then start on the Bank U2 slot so that I can easily spin the knob and always hit it. In End Titles, I went back and forth a few times, so I had to be more careful switching to the U2 Bank. I purchased a patch switching box years ago but eventually sold it. I figured, if I didn't use it on End Titles, I probably don't need it!
Excellent job
Many thanks!
This is played live but it's almost indistinguishable. Insane man.
Thanks. Insane may be the right word; my wife was surely wondering about my sanity when I was spending so much time prepping this!
Amazing!
Thank you very much!
Amazing.. Georgeous.. Hoold on from chile..
Thank you for your kind comments!
Нота 'До' в басовом ключе, заставила вернуться к прослушиванию произведения ещё раз. Запомнилась. Оригинальная точка в музыкальной фразе. Сочинение фантастическое. Спасибо.
Thank you for your comments. Indeed, the writing is fantastic, and there is a lot more going on than we tend to hear. Спасибо за ваши Коментарии. Действительно, сценарий фантастический, и происходит гораздо больше, чем мы привыкли слышать.
Such a pleasure to watch 👍
Thanks! Even more so if you watch the making of video at the end to see where all the sounds are.
It's polish launguage: absolutnie Analogowe wykonanie. Absolutnie Analogowy mózg i palce.
I chyba, choć nie mam pewności, same klasyczne syntezatory.
Klimat.
Jesteś Wielki!!!!!
Jako były syntezatorzysta i organista w pełni doceniam. Chylę czoła przed ogromem pracy.
Amen.
Dziękuję bardzo za komentarze! Cieszę się, że inni muzycy rozumieją, ile pracy to wymagało. Tylko mój cover „Blade Runner Blues” zajął więcej czasu. Instrumenty są nowoczesne, ale analogowe... poza tym dużym, niższym. Prawdopodobnie spodobałyby Ci się moje filmy „Making of a Cover”. W czerwcu po raz pierwszy odwiedzimy Polskę (Kraków). Dzięki jeszcze raz.
Amazing
Thanks!
Perfect.
Thanks!
NICELY PERFORMED... GREAT JOB
Many thanks!
nice work
Many thanks!
Fantastic video, rip Vangelis
Listening to your cover is listening Vangelis’ music alive… Will you bring us someday the present of Vangelis’ Blade Runner “Love’s theme”?
Many thanks! I do have plans to work on Love Theme, which I hope to do with a saxophone player.
This is truly best performance I've seen!
That is very kind of you to say. Thank you.
Very good realtime cover.
Many thanks.
The great Vangelis would be proud.
Many thanks!
Straordinario, anche questo pezzo è fantastico, un tecnico del suono da film di Hollywood! Complimenti!!!
Grazie!!
Bravíssimo! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🤩
Many Thanks!
Wow so power full, super performance and great sound excellent job man!!!!!
Thanks so much!
Its hard to realize how hard is what this guy did. I watched all videos on youtube with this music and definetly this is the best in which you can actully say he sang the music himself and corectly.
Many thanks for your comments! I spent a lot of time trying to get the notes accurate.
Awsome!!!! Thanks for sharing your talent with us!
This song is a master piece!
Thanks! Yes; I love this piece.
I am die hard Vangelis fan, this is fantastique!!
Thanks so much! Please notice that there is a "Making of" video, which you can find at the end. It's more for keyboardists and for big fans. I think I'm going to also do one for my recent cover of Rachel's Song.
Great ❤ congratulations
Many thanks!
Amazing!!! 🙌🙌🙌
Many Thanks!
Well done! Brilliant!!!
Thanks so much!!
absolute spectacle
Many thanks!
Just Amazing to watch this played live! Nailed it! 👌
Many thanks!
You are amazing. Thank you❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm glad you liked it! I hope you enjoy my other Vangelis covers as well.
so epic!
Thanks!
Wow amazing and fantastic cover
Thanks! Lots of preparation.
Really faithful cover, love it!
Thanks a lot! I don't mind saying that this one took a lot of time.
Well done. I really enjoyed that.
Many thanks!
Excellent, Jason! Some serious patch coordination going on there!! Sounds fantastic :-)
Thanks Brian! Yes, I didn't enjoy memorizing it, but I had a lot of fun developing the patches and sound sets.
Very nice! A lot of love, effort and practise went into this! Enjoyed it from the beginning to the end :-)
Thanks! Yes; this took a lot of time to learn and was possibly the most complex piece I've done to arrange.
Wonderful. Quite an undertaking. Well done on every front!
Thanks Jon! I mention you in the companion "making of" video. Thanks for letting me use your keyboard!
You are truly incredible.❤
Many thanks! This one took a lot of tedious analysis and a long time to put together.
WOW!! Superb cover!!
Thanks so much!
You did justice to Vangelis's original while adding just enough 'colour' of your own. Thoroughly enjoyed watching and listening to you play. 😊
Thank you very much for your comments!
Woow, respect man
Many thanks!
Cool
Thanks!
Verry nice 😊
Many thanks!
Good god that is magnificent 👏👏👏
I really appreciate it! This is probably the cover that took me the longest, and there were many moments along the way when I found myself wondering if it was all going to be a big waste of time.
nice 🎹
Thanks!
Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!
Many thanks!!
Exceptional live performance my friend well done indeed huge like !!!!!!!!!!
Many thanks! This one took a lot of work.
@@TaurusTarkus Yes I know that feeling all to well I can spend close to 16 hours with ear breaks in between to get a mix sounding right.
but I love the process and I can spend close to 4 hours just tweaking sounds and effects until I hear something that jumps out at me then I know I have it.
It would probably depress me if I knew how many hours I spent on each video, or even on one sound. But, like you, I love the process. @@synthworxswx8709
I know the feeling but I enjoy sculpting sounds its where the real magic happens @@TaurusTarkus
Programming sounds is one of my great loves- time consuming but very gratifying.@@synthworxswx8709
Wow! Enjoyed that. The amount of coordination you have to layer all those parts is impressive. Great job!
Thanks Creative Spiral! I mention you and your VCM templates in the "Making Of" companion video, which you can find at the end.
A marvellous performance Jason!
Thanks Raymon! (Raymon is a brilliant transcriber who has transcribed several of the Keith Emerson pieces that I've played.)
NICE and GOOD SOUNDS ;)
Thanks! Hopefully you found the videos talking about the sounds of my Vangelis covers. I also noticed from your channel that you like ELP; I have a number of covers of Keith Emerson's music.
@@TaurusTarkus thanks U, I am a sound researcher, someone calls me architect, engineer is not right terms infact, I prefer just "music friend". This is a channel I created for some tests... I am working on a new way to edit sound etc...... from the SOUL of the frequencies and not from the "external" aspects
@@TaurusTarkus I have 2 channels, this is the main one: studying and improving new audio edit systems. Especially for classical music (not only)
@@arksoundtek Oh yes; a lot more at this one. That 3D mixing technique is very cool. I'm presently enjoying your Adagio for Strings mix. Do you have any suggestions regarding my mixes? I'm still learning. I should probably use compression. Do you have an compression plug-ins that you like?
Wooowwww.... Wonderful.!!!
Thanks so much!
Damn, that was good!
Many thanks for your comment!
Rhithm precision, perfect balanced colours, perfect widgets config. So calm and professional in performing. Delightful to watch !
I'm a musician but , I know nothing about sound engineering , not sure if Vangelis performed all at once, like you did, or if he put on layers.
Anyway, I assume you spent some time preparing this. I also noticed you did a video showing the working progress, might be fun to check it out!
Thanks! I think Vangelis definitely did a fair amount of overdubbing as he worked, even though he did so much improvising. Yes, this took quite a while to work up; I talk about it and making of sounds in the "Making Of" video.
Always loved this one and your performance/recording is great! Congratulations!
It's a favorite of mine as well. Many thanks!
yeah!!!! thanks for sharing
Thanks! I see you're using an HX3. That was my go to simulator when playing live, and I'm always surprised more people don't use it. Great Hammond work! I'm hoping to feature mine more.
@@TaurusTarkus yes, totally agree 👍
I tested all existing clonewheels and found the HX3 the best sounding with a real leslie 😁
It's too bad she won't live! But then again, who does?
Love it. I have read that this line was not originally in the script but was added by the actor Edward James Olmos.
Hello....fantastic !! Excellent music , you and you're daughter are Amazing. Please what do speakers use you ?
Thanks so much! I use ETX-12P by EV. They are probably overkill for what I use them for now, although they sound fantastic. When I bought them, I was playing in a band, and we were using them for rehearsals in my home. I have always wanted a nice sound system like this and only got it rather recently. I decided to get that model after hearing Rick Wakeman rave about them.
Thank you very much for your advice. I will buy them for my système. Sincerely.🙏🙏
Again, they may be overkill. There is probably something smaller, lighter and cheaper. It depends on the application whether or not they are worth the cost. I'm not the best one to ask, so it's probably advisable to get some other options. But I'm definitely happy with them.
Nicely done. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks! This one was a lot of work.
incredible work. Hard to keep timing with so many widgets to keep track of.
Many thanks! It took a long time to figure out and memorize.
Some brilliant improvised stuff on the prophet
Many thanks. It's a delightful instrument. I talk about it a bit in the "Making of" video available at the end.
Just OMG, OM fucking Good. This is almost a real time copy 1:1 from the original.
Many thanks for your comments!
Wow!
🎉❤
Thanks!
Brilliant! Looking forward to the companion video :-)
Many thanks! I just posted it; you can find the link at the end or in the description.
Awesome!! happy to see this!
Thanks!
i think nobody can play it like vangelis but you are very close
big bravo for your work brother
Thanks! It's a very different thing to be able to write such wonderful music.
Bravo!!!
Thanks!!
And there are people who say REV2 doesnt have what it takes to be a classic synth ... Ha! Nice work on a classic piece..... !!!
Thanks! The Rev2 has the amazing ability to sound like many classic synthesizers; it's just not as easy to program! You may find the video where I talk about the sounds I use in this video interesting; the link is at the very end of the video.
It looked like you asked about the Sound Tower software: I haven't used it, and I don't know why. I've heard good things about it, and so I probably should try it at some point.
@@TaurusTarkus Its bloody amazing IMHO, the REV2 can do so many routing options etc its hard to keep track of. In sound Tower its all there in front of you on your monitor and you can create a sound without even touching the Rev2 as all the knobs can be controlled from the computer. Also you can "see" how others made their patches and get ideas.
awesome
Thanks!
Great !
Thanks!
Parabéns, Top D+
Obrigado! Thanks!
Genial !
Grazie!
Fantastic performance.
Thanks!
Музыкальный феномен.

Perfecto. Grandioso.
Muchas Gracias
Excelente.
Obrigado
Superbe!
Thanks Gustavo!
Top ! 🇫🇷
Merci beaucoup!
Buen cover
¡Gracias!
Well done with great sound.
Many thanks.
Wow this guy looks serious in his work, as he should be.
Perhaps I should smile more, but it's a lot to focus on. :)
I've seen things, you people wouldn't believe.
...Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion...
@@TaurusTarkus I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate.
@@Vindix007 👍🏻
Muito bom! Parabéns! Vangelis deixou um imenso vazio.
Obrigado!
Phenomenal mate!
Thank you Narf Sounds! I must apologize: I did a companion piece (link at the end), where I talk about the sounds I used, and I failed to mention that I used your Explosion FX from the Narf Sounds Movie & TV Themes. Very sorry. I mention several people but forgot a few people and probably a few sounds. I will add a note in the description of that video.
