Lost
This song has been a lot of fun! Somehow I had the idea that a punk song would fit nicely to this Bukowski poem, and I believe it turned out great. This is definitely an early punk song from maybe the early mid 80s including some folk instruments: accordion, fiddle, and bagpipes. Then of course two guitars, a fitting pattern for a real drum kit, and an electric bass.
My friend Lothar (FB: @lothar.sturmberg) did all special effects, percussion, and the background posse, giving everything as usual. As my trusted co-producer he probably suggested to add the folk instruments. I did the video based on original documentary footage of the punk scene in Germany during the same time and a contempo...

This is another Bukowski poem that I found, this time I was again in a slow song mood. My friend Lothar (FB: @lothar.sturmberg) did the amazing background vocals that fittingly float through the whole song, he also recorded percussion as per usual and made the video this time. Last but not least he always has great production ideas like adding a "Bratsch" vibe with viola, clarinet, and accordio...
The Crunch

This is a Bukowski poem I found, and although the song is more upbeat this time, the text is rather negative. I tried to reflect that in rather abstract images in the video. My friend Lothar (FB: @lothar.sturmberg) went above and beyond with no less than 15 background tracks for Posse and special effects! Besides the usual percussion tracks he also recorded a total of 8 tracks with hand claps. ...

Really nice poem again by Charles Bukowski, I believe it was one in the list that my friend Lothar (FB: @lothar.sturmberg) had sent me a while ago. This time I found a nice country rock groove and even the fitting guitar sounds using my Yamaha Genos keyboard. Lothar added suitable percussion tracks and also had fun doing the background vocals. He also made the great video. On the production sid...

Watching the video I believe that I had found the poem for this song for a change. If you listen closely you can hear that it is def not PC and calling out people on wasting their lives. Def matching the way I want to sometimes talk to people vs always being polite ;-) At least in the video I tried to find more abstract ways to show failure and bad decisions. The song was coming together pretty...

My friend Lothar (FB: @lothar.sturmberg) wanted to do another swing song and this poem fit perfectly. Despite the glorious ways in which Bukowski describes everything that is wrong with the existence we are thrown into, I want to believe in the last lines of making it despite all the hurdles. And the beauty in the small things that make all the suffering worthwhile. Also, I feel Born Like This ...

I wanted to do a James Bond theme for a while now and somehow I tried hard before and it did not work. And this time my friend Lothar (FB: @lothar.sturmberg) found this great Bukowski poem about giving your best or not trying at all, and things just came together on their own :-D I had great fun dropping in all the typical James Bond motifs and using piano, marimba, saxophones, two different ty...

This is another great and very visual Bukowski poem that my friend Lothar (FB: @lothar.sturmberg) found. We wanted to do another swing song so I chose a suitable drum pattern, started the song on the piano, and also added a Jazz guitar in the verses. As mentioned previously I had added a lot of high EQ on my hardware EQs for this song so it got a bit bright. However, the arpeggiated guitar soun...

This Bukowski poem was again found by my friend Lothar (FB: @lothar.sturmberg). He also did percussion and really amazing background vocals on this song! I did the rest and also put together the video this time around. I was further experimenting with some new UAD plugins like the Eden WT800 amp on bass and the Marshall Plexi Super Lead amp on guitar. I also tried out some different compressors...

My friend Lothar (FB: @lothar.sturmberg) had found another great Bukowski poem and I wanted to continue with the 70s sound without following a specific artist or band this time. We got the Ludwig drum kit, electric bass and guitars, piano, organ, Mellotron, and even a trumpet in the end. You can hear Lothar on percussion and background, he also made the video. We enjoyed using different reverb ...

I wanted to do a 70s country rock song next, and my friend Lothar (FB: @lothar.sturmberg) had just sent me this poem by Bukowski which fit perfectly. This time I used various styles from my Yamaha Genos keyboard to get realistic guitar and keyboard sounds. Lothar added his signature percussion sound and background vocals. I did my own second voice as well and also did the video this time around...

This is a Bukowski poem that I found for a change and liked immediately. Continuing the vintage rock series, my friend Lothar (FB: @lothar.sturmberg) and I decided to do a song in the style of David Bowie next. Lothar encouraged me to add more and more tracks for the correct glam rock sound and to channel David's voice. He also played the matching percussion, recorded the amazing background voc...

Now that we started a vintage rock series, my friend Lothar (FB: @lothar.sturmberg) and I of course needed to continue into the 70s with this Supertramp-esque song. With the same acoustic drum set by BFD and Sonic Reality and an electric bass from my Yamaha Genos keyboard as well as the obligatory electric piano, organ, strumming guitar, and saxophone sounds. Lothar provided era adequate percus...

Around Christmas - triggered by the new Beatles single - I got curious about the music of the 60s and listened to various bands of the time. My friend Lothar (FB: @lothar.sturmberg) was also excited to go back in time with me and do a song in this style. Over a holiday road trip I got some ideas and wrote this song after returning to LA along to one of the Bukowski poems found by Lothar I still...

My friend Lothar (FB: @lothar.sturmberg) and I wanted to do a totally different style for a change and some fun. We settled on Swing with a middle part in the recently popular Electro Swing style :-) Lothar had already found the perfect text by Bukowski while before. He also did the posse background and perfect percussion tracks as well as the congenial video. After having written an essay abou...
Thank you!
Your tutorials are excellent. It’s time Yamaha upgraded the recording capability being able to copy and past measures HANDY.
Thank you for your great tutorial. I think it’s high time, they need to add full editing features meaning being able to copy and paste measures.
Trying to connect my Genos 1 to Behringer QX 1222 mixer. I am getting voices but unable to get styles. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Only thing I can think of is that your styles are set to other outputs. Did you check the output assignment?
@@OllyWooI got it. Just needed to press ACMP on keyboard. Now working on trying to route mic in mixer back to genos so I can quick record genos styles and external mike with flute.
@jetwoman10001 amazing sometimes the solution is simple 😁
@@OllyWoo😊
@@OllyWoosometimes...
I love the clarity and presence of the mix. Was it mixed or recorded on a DAW(PC) or hardware mixing board? Good job!
Hey Don, thanks so much for your nice feedback, that means a lot to us 😁 This song was done completely in a DAW, not even using a hardware mastering roundtrip. We are not using software instruments though but recording sounds from the Yamaha Genos keyboard through a 500 series API style EQ, maybe that adds something (other than noise)? If you read through my song notes over the last releases I am describing a lot about our process and the plugins we use.
Cool, I'll read more into the comments
Beautiful!
'PromoSM' 👀
Hi ,great groove and feel,like the composition and production, good mix really cool vocal tone and feel 👏👏👍❤️💛💚🙏🖖🎶🎵
2nd!
Finally someone who shows how to edit a recording on this level. Thinking about buying a Genos and didn’t find any other information about this functionality.
From the 1st notes, I expected the vocals to be in French!
Merci bien!
Hi , really cool funky feel,love the drums and guitars, always like your vocals and lyrics 👏👏👍🙏🖖🎵🎶😎
Great song. I like the video art. All of it made me smile.
Thanx a lot! 💥❤️
English for run-aways :(
Otto 🤣
Cool video!!!
Thank you! ❤️
wow, awesome track and production!
Thanks so much for your encouraging feedback.
I have no idea what you just said but this sounds cool 😂😂😂
excellent tutorials, thank you. it seems a rather strange example though, you wouldn't normally program chord changes into the style itself, since you do that with your left hand when performing? i'm a bit confused why you chose to do this, thx again.
Thanks, and true, I think I found it easier to pre program all bass lines etc that way especially with modulations in the song.
Hey How can you put four cameras up at the same time? What camera and mic are you using
Hey just your standard Logitech webcams and I believe default vocal mic into a PC with OBS...
Beautiful vocals .. I love arrangement and piano .. Solid work <3
great song .Well done maestro <3
Thanks Lena!
I watched your part 1, part 2 tutorials, and started watching part 3. I assume you create songs completely on the genos, because you dont have a daw. I am looking to upgrade a Tyros 5 to the new Genos, but after watching a few of your videos, I will never write songs on the Genos. Way more flexibility with a daw like Studio One, or Logic. You might want to show a shorter video of an actual song, and the arrangement process of recording a rhythm section (drums, bass, guitar, comping kbs etc), and then additional tracks. Nothing in your first three tutorials part 1,2,3 had any relation to an actual musical sounding project. You definately know the inner workings of the genos, but full time professional musicians wont have hours to spend creating 1 song, when they are busy playing events, or teaching, and making money.
Haha true, I am using Studio One for the last years and only use the Genos to record audio tracks now.
Cool stuff!
Thanks!
Great my new friend!
Very cool animation with your poem ,very creative
Thank you! 😎
Beautiful!
Tell me, and then how to disable the player button on the panel, this is a child's question, but I can't, I don't know how to turn it off.
Hey there, can you maybe tell me the time in the video where the button is shown? I am not sure which button you are referring to. Do you want to switch the button off or remove it from the display?
excellent
Wonderful
Great!
Thanks so much, comments like these keep us going 😃
Very good, though the story sounds uncomfortably familiar ...
Thanks for the positive comment, Thomas, glad you liked the song, we totally understand you 😉
How do you save the new drum kit as a voice not a style
Thought I had answered this already, that is not possible in Yamaha keyboards as far as I know. Would love that myself!
I want to save a drum kit edit in style into a voice
As far as I remember you can only save a drum kit into a style and that into a performance.
@@OllyWoo aw ok it would be good if you can save it to a voice instead using a computer
@@frankr7239 I agree totally agree, I think Korg allows that.
Excellent performance. SNAP I’m to a PROUD Genos owner. Is it possible to p.ay arpeggio on the left while style sustain is active also playing accompaniments.
Thanks it has helped
Happy to hear it, Rudolf 😀
Awesome track 🔥🔥🔥♥️
Very cool song.. vocals 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you, Lena, that means a lot to me 😃
Another Gesamtkunstwerk ... frightening but beautiful ...
Thanks Thomas, indeed "I have seen things I care not to gaze on again" 😀
👍
This is truly magic! Thank you!
Thank you, Thomas ❤️
Hi Olly. A couple of points on your voice which is detracting from your very good tutorials. Firstly, the volume setting on your mic is quite low and what you are saying often gets lost under what you are playing. Also when you are making control changes, and are concentrating on what you are doing, your voice drops significantly (subconciously) to the point where it is difficult to make out what you are saying. If you playback, you will see what I mean. Thank you for the effort you put in on these. The Genos is obviously a very versatile tool but as with all complex things, it takes a lot of effort to learn how to make it work ! Your input is helping me to get a better understanding of the complexities. Thank you.
Hey David, this is great feedback, will use it when I do the next tutorial 😃
❤️
Super 👉🎼💪👏
Thank you 😊
Very intense and quite scary .... Great work!
Thank you Thomas 😀
Beautiful
