We played Midnight Cocktail Bar at an ACTUAL cocktail bar - Horatiu Roman Band - Live@SoundtrackCafe
The night is thick and full of mystique. There is a cloaked man in the corner of your eye, and he is getting closer. What's going on? Is this just a psychedelic song or premonitions of flashbacks from your own parallel lives?
Presenting part of our performance of Midnight Cocktail Bar from the album launch show at Soundtrack Cafe, an actual cocktail bar and caffe in Copenhagen, with the funky fellas Tommaso Richelmy on guitar, Nicholas Hein on bass, Mikkel Wilstrup on drums. Rec on 13 Dec 2024. I play electric piano (UAD Electra 88 on a Nord Electro 2), Hydrasynth Explorer, and vocals.

Hydrasynth, piano, vocals - solo improvised performance - Soundtrack Cafe - 15 nov 2024

Here is my solo improvisation from 15 nov 2024 on Hydrasynth Explorer, acoustic piano and vocals. I added some wacky video effects to go with the sounds, but the sound is unedited, only slightly EQ'd, as it comes from a zoom h5. The performance was fully improvised, so I didn't know what it was going to be about until it happened. It ended up a story about all stories, about the universe and ev...

Dreams - Horațiu Roman - CPH Listening Room - 12 jan 2025

Here is a new rendition of Dreams on piano! A version I'm pretty happy with. I managed to do a bit better dynamics, and people said they really liked the buildup through the song. If you ask me, it still needs some work: the verses are all pretty similar and pretty thick on the piano part, maybe part of that is the recording quality and the reverby room, but part of it is definitely the arrange...
Dreams - Live at Mojo - but I'm green with a big head
Просмотров 19Месяц назад
I believe in dreams! This one is more of a fever dream..... I played a guitar concert at Mojo blues bar on 2 dec 2024, but I'm pretty self conscious about most of it. So in order to mask the mistakes in the guitar part, off-key singing, my poor handling of dynamics and general lack of stage presence, I tried making myself green with a big head, and that seemed to only make it worse. Oh well! Ma...

I won't be home for Xmas - Horațiu Roman - studio version with lyrics and notes
Просмотров 2352 месяца назад
Hi! Here is the home studio version of my new song "I won't be home for Xmas" with cool space visuals and some random thoughts about the song. I was inspired to make this song by reading several sci-fi books, among which The Three Body Problem series by Liu Cixin, The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin, and started on The Expanse series by James S. A. Corey. I can heartily recommend all of them!...

Hi folks! I wrote this song on the piano and I played it at the open mic, then I recorded it at home. Here are BOTH versions for your pleasure! I even added lyrics and fun little notes about making the song. I thought it's maybe a cooler way to show the song and enhance the experience. Let me know how you like it and if it resonates with you! Should I make a version with just the studio version...
HEMNE - Hydrasynth Explorer Meets Nord Electro - Live performance

Ambient / drone piece on organ and Hydrasynth Explorer. I had the Hydrasynth since 2022. I've been using it in some avantgarde performances, in the home studio on my new album, but lately not so much, as I've been focusing on piano and writing songs. So now I'm back to it with a new performance that combines Hydrasynth with the Nord Electro organ patch. I had this Nord Electro 2 since about 200...

Here's my new song that I'm still kinda working on that I composed this week (or last, but "finished" as much as a song is ever finished, this week). It's an intense, heartfelt and absurd ballad with some wacky deep lyrics that truly transcended the dream world to come through me into this one. I played it live for Listening Room last Sunday, and again this past Wednesday at Blågårds, and even ...

amazing thumbnail face great tunes!
Thanks! I worked on my stage-face! it paid off in this one :D
actually my main complaints of your work - not green - head too normal sized so this is actually wonderful for me
any update?
absolutely WOOFING my mind at the HAIRSTYLE really cool to see this human cosplay from Mr. Woofmantic
This is going on this year's xmas album
a-wooamazing!
Nice live execution.
thanks!
You weren’t sure about it at first but then you had a great time!
The dissonant pads/drones you are both getting out of the Hydrasynth and also how you are able to perform them, are gorgeous! Excellent work. I do Dark Ambient music, and i keep telling myself "I work in the box, i dont need a hardware synth no matter how much the Hydrasynth calls you" but watching the way you are playing the synth while programming it in realtime is making me truly rethink my decision
Thanks man! Performing is my obvious choice for this kinda music. It's nice to have a physical interface even if it's a midi controller. I'm not sure hydra is the one or there are better more performative ones but you can see the results. One thing tho, some dedicated effect pedals or knobs would be super nice, because it's knobs I tend to tweak a lot if offered the chance.
this rules
Beautiful
Amazing instrument just purchased ❤
I'm on the fence. Can't decide. I'm after deep, warm tones but none of the demos I've seen have impressed me. This is closest vid I've seen. Can you get get nice Rhodes like tones from it..?
no rhodes tones I'm afraid. it's not really meant for that. There are some default patches that sound a bit like an FM piano. but you're better off with any old free rhodes plugin. this synth is more of a synth that you use to generate sounds from waveforms and mess them up with the knobs.
caveman jazz is my new favorite discovery
What app are you using to record/add effects with? - Great exploration! - Thanks.
Wouldn't it be just the effects from the Explorer. They're apparently really decent.
I was using Gauss tape looper here. but I often also use mirack where I can create my own chains of effects with modules, much like vcv rack / eurorack. there are also delay and reverb and a few more effects on hydra tho. Thanks for watching!
mama frate chiar foaaarte ciudat 🤣 Lucas was definitely on some type of stimulant he was barely holding himself from gurning as he was describing the music 😂
Hahha, nu stiu! Cei mai multi sunt perfect lucizi dar suna de parca au luat 12 droguri :D ma rog, am prins si pe unii care zic pe fata ca iau acid si alte chestii dar nu i-am pus pe video ca... no. Mie imi place cu oameni care parca sunt drogati si cand nu sunt! :D
we have a really cool noise scene in south florida and INC(International noise conference) happens a lot down here. This is cool.
great to hear! would be cool to visit someday!
Oh! So nice that this performance was captured and is here, for now and the future. Your koncert was one of the brightest of the many highlights of that evening to me.
Thanks for saying it Ulf! It was indeed a memorable day, and I got reminded that it happened just now by facebook. But I don't have to be reminded, because sometimes I just think back to that studio and the people there and the cheese and all the lovely sounds and realize how important that is and how little it matters that I have some small problems or worries day to day. Hope to see you again soon along with the others!
that was lovely!
Just when i thought nothing could get any weirder, i saw this.....
this is a gem man, thanks!
This is 🔥😃
Man this tone is wonderful, I have a minifreak. Are sounds and themes like this possible? An intro to ambient would be amazing.
if you can get it to trigger an envelope on a loop, I think you can achieve something similar. the repeating envelope is the secret of this piece, cause it keeps a pulse going while I'm free to focus on other shenanigans. but I never used a minifreak so idk! for ambient maybe check out my friend @SecondSunCph
I've owned the original Hydrasynth for 4? years. I've forgotten when I bought it, but I ordered it as soon as I heard about it and had to wait a few months for delivery. But I still love watching demo and random play videos just to hear what other people create. It's been years, and it's still my favorite piece of gear.
Sådan Danmark ! 😆
The artist is late because the chain fell off his bike. Love it, wish I was there :)
I've tried LSD before
That cured my depression and psychosis 🙏
The noise is very noisy and the crowd seem cool. Bloopers are home made. All good.
Where it cold and winters are long , Great music seems to emerge . Noise has it's place , love the creative process
I've been to some noise and power electronics concerts and it's complete madness to experience in real life
indeed. I went to a noise festival months after this video. The opening was a guy wearing a bike helmet and other protection gear, and he was "playing" an old vacuum cleaner with a distortion pedal. so good
This is cool.
This came on when I was going to sleep so didn't check what it was and I presumed it was from the late 60s.
Give me some info on the system, and ill guide you step by step. Some advice i can give you now, is to SILENCE the system, DO NOT RESET. If its an adressable system, it can be ok to silence and leave it in alarm. If the lights keep flashing after being silenced, thats not a fault. Its called selective silence, and cannot be changed while in alarm. Please make a video showing the controll panel, a manuel call point (activation buttons), and the smoke detector. If posible, try to get a key to the controll panel. You will know what your doing with my info. Feel free to reply for more info. PS: if you know that its not an adressable system, do not silence. I can be possible that the fire alarm system will not function propperly, while being silenced, and not reset,.
that"s a funny shirt in the outro
this video=NOISE PARTY 2
Here in the United States, I would call my local fire department to have them come and inspect the system. It would be illegal to live in an apartment with faulty fire detection equipment. This is insane that this is happening more than once. How many months has this been going on? If I was you and nobody was working on a resolution, I would call the fire department every single time the alarm went off and tell them, "There might be a fire going on at this building, the alarm is going off." As a musician, I have no idea how you can stay sane with this unwanted noise.
Same here - if this is not just a smoke detector but an actual fire alarm, I'd call 112 and straight up say, we have a fire alarm here in the building and you don't know where its from. Technically you should be leaving the building though, but this shouldn't continue. Same with car alarms, there are rather strict rules about how long they are allowed to be noisy.
we literally call them every time and do all that. but money talks louder than the alarm (however insane that might sound). apparently they are ok with paying a fine when the alarm hits rather than fixing it for the benefit of HUNDREDS of residents.
@@bjrnjacobsen5196 at first I've been leaving the building and not taking elevator and trusting their advice and shit. but after so many false alarms it's a joke. it's like using paper straws while drinking at the cafe of the corporation that is spewing toxic shit into the river. you're massaging a wooden leg at that point. you're literally the clown makeup meme at that point.
@@bjrnjacobsen5196 also maybe a non ethical solution because using up resources from the emergency system 112 for a false alarm abuse situation doesn't feel right... I mean shouldn't the alarm be hooked up to 112/fire dept anyway? otherwise what's the point of the alarm, is it just for the music?
@@horatiuromantic you literally have no idea if it is a false alarm though! it could be a real fire every time! hundreds of residents you say? time for legal action against the apartment owner
haha oh no
idk good luck doe vid was interesting
Это прекрасная музыка!- Рома!..насладился !..и мне понравилось что Гаусс ее проигрывает ненадолго и все растворяется в новом и неизведанном многозвучии!) А пробовал ли Гидосинт с чудо- полоской?….или итак хватает экспрессивности этих макросов? Фильтры же у него на панели да? Или более интересна портативность? И где секвенсор?..или ты его не любишь или не признаешь? ;)
thanks for the comment! I used google translate for it so I don't know if I got it correctly. I haven't tried the big one with the contact strip, it sounds cool but I like that this one is small and portable. The knobs on the left of the interface are filters, on the upper right are controls dependent on the currently selected button. There is no sequencer in this one, only an arpeggiator which is pretty basic, but I use it in the videos with the hydrasynth & drums if you want to see it in action.
@@horatiuromantic thank you!… I will buy it next..now i got Digitone keys- its fm and has a sequencer….will see if it pairs well..) But - portability is a key indeed!..- and a joy!)
This is impressive. Closing my eyes it’s very relaxing. (Watching is a different experience - lots of hand movement, lol.) You stated in a reply it’s a factory patch. Can you recall which one?
Thanks! I believe it's number A021!
Beautiful stuff
This is how synthesizers should be used, and you're a master. The Hydrasynth is a curious thing, you make it look so easy, but I struggled with it for quite a while. It doesn't protect you from doing silly things, but I think that's the secret to its power, too. Nothing is off limits. It's quite a ride, like I've just discovered that you can modulate the ARP parameters, so my journey continues! I've loved watching how you've tamed this beast, and turned synthesis into a performance.
thank you very much! there are quite a lot of things to control and the interface is a bit limited but it can be mastered. I haven't done much with it lately but seeing that people still stumble on my hydrasynth content I think I should come back to it :) good luck in your synth journey!
Hydrasynth = Love
yes! subscriber no 200! been enjoying your hydrasynth videos.
Subscribed. are you going to do Tutorials? I think you should 😊
Very Alien. Very cool :)
This demo is giving me the impression that (should I purchase one of these for myself, which I’m planning on doing at the tail e d of April 2024 anyway) it could possibly be my go-to for an electronic track I’ve been interested in crafting for years but never tried, emulating the sounds made by the dishwasher my parents owned when I was born. I imagine patching a sawtooth drone, one of the mutants providing an FM simulation of the filling sound, applying a sine LFO for the spin cycle and a filter envelope for another motor sound.
The way that bell patch sounds at the beginning sounds like a homogeny of both the tubular bell tone from the DX synths and the one heard on Michael Jackson’s “Beat It” from the Synclavier II.
gorgeous jam! great melodica work and loved how your friend used detuning the guitar
