He was very forward thinking even 20 years ago. We certainly have the right technology now, with all the VR headsets that are now on sale at reasonable cost. His music on one of these would be incredible, it takes you away from the grim path of life for just a few mins.
I hear imaginary Oldfield tunes in my sleep - all new imaginary albums I'm going to buy - But when I wake up they are gone and I realize it was only a dream :O
Never noticed the fires on the beach on tb cover that Mike mentions. Glad to finally see them. My musical journey kind of started with Mike Oldfield with incantations and it's nice for him to be at the end of it as well pointing me in good directions. Love to see him so excited about his new stuff. Constantly innovative.does the music that excites and moves him first. Not many are able to do that.
well Mike , shame we didn't got the message with tres lunas, shame the online gaming wasn't the big game that time - you had the idea ! Make that game online today, make wonderfull ambient music and hidden masterpices to find and you have perfect online game i would pay to play online.
The music VR Project was a great idea from Mike! But, he worked with the wrong people on this project. The graphics in his game was not up to date. It was so sade, but the music was fantastic!
I had that VR game he talked about - gee, it was dull - flying around with weird things on a landscape.... unfortunatley it did not go anywhere, and so it failed in part becuase of the gruelling experience. But,.. it was a predecessor to a lot of music using technology (thinking Bjork) - something we will see more in AI
Tubular Genius ! Poland Love Mike Oldfield ;-)
He is so modest even though he is one of the gratest composers.
❤Gracias por compartir esta entrevista con el guapo Mike Oldfield. Saludos.
Mike seems to be quite a jolly lad in a lot of his newer interviews.
Amarok is Mike's best , and Incantations is a very close second!
@Pro-Vegan Anti-NASA give Amarok a go ,yes it's a hour non stop but it's worth it !
Not only a musical genius but a genius at everything.

Interesting that he mentioned John Cleese, who later introduced the instruments on the 2003 remake.
I'm with him when talking about the dawn chorus and country aire. Lovely.

Are they any good? You should keep your phone next to your bed so you can hum the tunes into the voice recorder, and work then out later!

A low moon in a haunting sky is one of the best things at dawn
Thanks very much for uploading that, long live Mike.

Amazing what Mike did with an old Grundig tape recorder

He did eventually sell that red Stratocaster!
@ 6:06 hahaha the sound effects of him sawing a Guitar square
UN GENIO 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Schade,keine deutsche Übersetzung.
Alguien que traduzca al español, please!
why the hell did you not put a save feature in the games :(

It’s funny how he wanted to do a better version of TB1 but he’s never surpassed the original IMO.
Yeah well. I grew up with a mum having severe mental illness. I am an introvert. I am very drawn to that man 🤦♀️
I understand very well: Terry Riley esp in C
Does Mike have a perfect pitch?
Great game
