    Vangelis did write the perfect movie score. It encapsulates the dystopian environmental aesthetics and mood.
    When I say it's perfect, it's because it is.

      I agree! An unbelievable achievement of perfection. This piece in particular really nails the dystopian mood.

      i was telling a friend earlier tonight how i felt about Vengelis score, its a flawless creating that transports the audience to a dystopian environment that makes you not only feel it, but smell it, and listen to it. The background Ambient urban sounds, people, cars, etc then Vangelis creates what I'm my firm die hard film score lover understands,
      Vangelis created the perfect confluence of all that Phillip K Dick wrote. Vangelis clearly read the book and probably others to understand the dystopian aesthetic PK Dick wrote. And you are paying the highest tribute to its flawless creation. Thank you for sharing your rendition.
      Im in instant follower of your sound.

      Thanks! My daughter lives up around Hamilton Heights. There are some great music stores around your area. There was one I used to order from that had a warehouse in Brooklyn that I once visited to return some things, and now I'm wondering if they have closed. I can't remember the name.

      Thanks for your comments! Chariots of Fire was my first exposure to Vangelis, and I used to go to sleep to the album and love it deeply. Five Circles was my first Vangelis cover, and I have always been curious why it is my least popular Vangelis cover when I love the music so much. I guess I have not done Chariots of Fire partly because it is so iconic and perfect, and I think it may be hard to get close to that. It's been covered by so many, and they are never half as good. There also is a video of Vangelis playing it; ...some of what I try to do is give people the opportunity to see some of these great works being performed. Do you think I should do it?

    "“I've seen things you people wouldn't believe ... .
    Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.
    I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate.
    All those moments will be lost in time ...
    ... like tears in rain."
    If there was any quote, that moved me, it was this one, by the great Rutger Hauer (Roy Batty).
    And know ... this was pure improvisation ... .
    What an actor he was, Rutger Hauer ... .

    Hi Tarus, as always true, absolute perfection, and grace. I used to put this on at night, and simultaneously played a separate CD with rain along with candle light, incense and a profound sense of peace. It transports us to a realm of peace and tranquility that is ethereal. I am a die hard Blade Runner fan, and Vangelis as well. Pretty sure this is the best soundtrack Vangelis ever did. There's a sadness yet soothing feeling woven into the fabric of this composition. What's a bit distressing is there are only 1.8 K subscribers. No words can convey how much I appreciate you're gift to us with keeping this compelling and timeless art alive. When an artist creates a work of art, and gifts it to you, then it become Priceless. Thank you so much for keeping this art alive! I love every video on your channel! You really are so awesome and gracious!

      Thanks for saying so! I'm delighted that you are playing it with a system that can properly handle the bass. I should upgrade my computer speakers to something better. I don't use them for mixing, but I do tend to watch TH-cam on the computer. The bass is a recreation of the CS-80 bass, which is what I think Vangelis used on this.

      Thanks so much! I remember a philosophy professor talking about how we can sit at the feet of the masters and have a conversation with them when we read and analyze their writings. I had that feeling at times as I analyzed and worked on this. For example, when you slow some of the fast runs way down, you can hear a slight difference in speed on a few notes which strongly suggested which fingerings he must have used. When I noticed that, I changed my fingering!... and felt like I was interacting with the great man.

    I love the jazzy feel to it, even though there were some timings that were not 1:1 to the original song, I feel that is what makes this piece feel more original, another reason I love this cover is that the synth is a lot punchier than the smoother one in the film, feels like a 90s video game soundtrack

      Thanks for your comments! You may enjoy my "Making Of" video about the sounds. You need at least four sounds, but I have the Montage split so that I can do both the bass and electric piano there. And then, as I discuss in "Sounds of Blade Runner," Vangelis did a lot of layering with strings during this period, which I try to replicate by using multiple instruments via MIDI.

    I woke up and had the pleasure seeing you did a new post. Amazingly done. Prophet X Rhodes and I think you have a split going on with a bass patch in the lowest octave. Hydrasynth controlling the behringer vp330 strings ? Love the occasional touch somewhere late in the video of the modwheel on the rev2 :). How does it feel to be so close to the maestro when playing this ? ❤

    • @TaurusTarkus
      @TaurusTarkus  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Thanks! The Prophet Rev2 does the lead. On the Yamaha Montage, one can easily blend parts, and so I have a CS-80 Warm Bass on the Left half, a Rhodes on the Right, and a Stack of the two in the middle. I talk a lot about layering strings in my "Making of a Cover" videos. Unfortunately, the Behringer VC340 cannot be used with a sustain pedal 😫 so I had to make use of overdubbing. (The original VP-330 could not either, and so we see Vangelis using weights to hold down keys in some live videos.) Regarding the Modwheel, I would have rather played that using the Ribbon Controller of the Hydrasynth, but the Rev2 was the clear winner for getting the sound. Regarding getting closer to the Maestro, it's interesting that slowing down the music does give you an appreciation for what he did. There was a great deal of overdubbing, and the overdubs do not cleanly line up in the surgical way that lines do with MIDI. I think that looseness is a lot of what our ears love about the Nemo Studios projects. There were also a few times, in listening to the music very slowly, when I could literally figure out the fingering that he used on fast runs, which really made me feel like I was with him.
