      Hi Claudio. I’m french with poor english, i follow you for a while now, you’re so talented, but I think I found you à True challenge , one of the most epic song from the late 70’s , the main theme from "midnight express" :the chase
      I’ve searched the net for triste song deconstructed, but no one tried, so would you be ’the one’ ? Kind of tribute to Gorgio Moroder....

      We were many, there when history in music was made, those were the times when we were young 😉however I feel Alan Parsons Project a bit underrated still, while most were talking about Pink Floyd, forgotting or ignoring is large contribution to their fame from 1973 on Dark side of the Moon.

  • @ScottsSynthStuff
    @ScottsSynthStuff Год назад +35

    The Hydrasynth is my favorite synth for sound design. It's SO EASY to work with, yet so deep that you can make incredible sounds on it. The polytouch keybed is incredibly expressive. And it's built like a tank. For what you get, I think the Hydrasynth is one of the best values in synthesizers today, while also being one of the most flexible, usable, creative and playable.

    • @sauermusicDE
      @sauermusicDE Год назад

      I played the Hydrasynth deluxe in a music store. A very impressive machine. The doubled polyphony is a significant advantage over its two smaller brothers. Playing a layer with polyphonic aftertouch was a jaw-dropping experience.

  • @PascalDEVIF-Netenvie
    @PascalDEVIF-Netenvie Год назад +17

    We should never forget that Alan Parsons project were 2 guys and all music were composed (and play for piano parts) by Eric Woolfson. Alan Parsons was involved in recording and technical parts and also sounds creations.

    • @amcken9316

    • @glennwallace9203
      @glennwallace9203 24 дня назад

      It wasn't just two guys. Parsons was producer and engineer, but there were several core musicians that stayed with the band for a long period: David Paton (bass, vocals), Ian Bairnson (lead guitar), Stuart Tosh (drums) - who were all from the group "Pilot" who Parsons had produced, as well as Stuart Elliot (drums) replacing Tosh, and a large roster of vocalists.

    I've always loved this track, even before I knew what it was when my parents played it at home. I now have 4 APP albums on vinyl that I play regularly, and it's hard to choose a favourite! The production and musical feelings are just so perfectly put together.

    • @MrFlazz99
      @MrFlazz99 Год назад +1

      Me likewise - loved it before I knew who/what it was. It really is an iconic piece of music. Not sure how many APP albums I have (mostly on vinyl) but my intro to him was a promotional specially-packaged version of 'Stereotomy' that was labeled as 'not for sale' and which some DJ somewhere had dared to sell (!!). Bought it in about '92, absolutely mint condition, bargain of the year for me at about £5. Somebody will tell me now that they made a million of these promotional versions, but I still think it was a bargain. Not enough people know about APP.

    I first heard the song on one of the Synthesizer Greatest (1,2,3) tapes from Ed Starink (starinc) back in the 80s. Maybe you could do some more tracks of those series like JMJ etc. I only find out how different the original were at least 10 yrs after listening to those synthesizer greatest tapes. Brings back memories!

      @Musiquesaecouter Год назад

      "I Robot" would be a nice challenge, a perfect progression in an instrumental experience, on that same album they were several interesting approaches, the one called "Genesis..." at the end is worth to Remix also (not relation to the British band, even if they would be also an endless source of inspiration )

    This synth has been the only synth that I even considered in the last 20 years. I mix and write in box. but after playing one of these I been so temped to pick one up. something about the poly after touch being done sell well on this unit along with its amazing sounding synthesis and layout makes it the only hardware synth I may buy in the near future.

    I can understand you having fun deconstructing this.
    I also have fun listening to a lot again after 40 years and more.
    A kind of renaissance. This also applies to your video about Jean-Michel Jarre's works.
    You have a talent and you can recreate anything that isn't nailed down. I would be interested to know if you also publish your own compositions. I'm regularly on your channel.
    Keep it up... a bientôt

    The Hydrasynth has that ability to just go "unruly" with its sounds when you need it, while so many other synths seem to have governors built in to obey speed limits. Ex: the bladerunner patch. Lean into the aftertouch, and the sound just goes nuts, and sounds so great! (just like the opening title theme) I won't mention my suspicion that the Hydrasynth could end up being a CS-80 killer.
