It took years to figure out how to make synthesizers sound like orchestra instruments. It took even longer to figure out how to make orchestra instruments sound like synthesizers.
every harmonic sound can be broken down into a combination of sine waves in the same frequency (or a factor thereof) at different amplitudes and phases. Horns and woodwinds reflect this pattern and are complex sounds which are produced by the harmonics of many sine waves. However, stringed instruments produce a near perfect sine wave which, when many of them are combined in various phases and amplitudes could be used to reconstruct the wave made by the synthesizer. So the reconstruction of the synth sound is hard, but not as hard as you think. The more impressive part are the musicians who are playing at various phases (slightly on or off beat)... Although its quite possible this is all being managed in the mixer.
@@Shyid I love your analysis! Check out this tune: Mhammed El Alami, illitheas, Johannes Fischer- Breath of Life. It's a beautifully composed/produced uplifting/orchestral trance tune with electronic and orchestral elements! Would love to hear your thoughts about it, and analysis!
There is a rare time when an orchestra - not just any orchestra - transforms a favored song of mine into a totally new listening experience that they've put their heart and soul into. A song which has been completely turned into the most enjoyable, the most exhilarating time my ears have had in many years. This was it. Absolutely, positively enjoyed listening to you all play. Thank you greatly for sharing.
as a HUGE lover of EDM for over 20 years, and a lifetime lover of classical music, this is a FANTASTIC mashup! beautiful performance and an incredible rendition of the original!
My 14 year old asked me what music I listened to in high school. Immediately showed him this absolutely banger of a symphony mix. Absolutely positively well done. 😃👍
Why am I sobbing at this? What an experience this must have been for those in the room, the kind of experience we haven’t had in so, so long because of the pandemic. Bravo.
I've often said that Electronica feels like the modern form of classical orchestrated music, and look what incredible music happens when you give an Electronica piece to a classical symphony orchestra.
@@dissolution9843 The layering in this is what made me first think about it ruclips.net/video/0AxoqxhwmY8/видео.html Could easily sub them out in to physical instruments and play by orchestra
@@dissolution9843 I wouldn't say I'm all that musically inclined either, and these might be misconceptions on my part, but I think it's the way dj/music producers mix samples and use midi controllers, keyboards, and whatnot to create new sounds the same way composers combine different sections of the orchestra, with all the instruments of an orchestra and more sitting in a digitized library on the hardware of the electronic composer, and how a lot of classical orchestral music was basically ballroom dance music that you would dance to for hours on end while getting blitzed on wine, so modern Electronica is just it's latest iteration, imo.

Das könnte ich heute mit mehreren Spuren an einem Computer herstellen. Vor 50 Jahren hätte man ein ganzes Orchester mit ca. 70 ausgebildeten Musikern für das gebraucht. Und glaube mir. Mehr Musiker, desto mehr Klangfülle. Das hört man genau. Die Bands hörten sich besser an, auch wenn die Technik noch nicht auf der Höhe war. Robin Gowin
Masterpiece! What else can I say? I'm a fan of Darude for the very beginning and I'm probably the most critical person when it coms to judge a "cover version". You Ladies and Gentlemen made an epic piece of music even better! Brilliant Orchestra! Simply brilliant!!!
Who’d have thought a night at the symphony would turn into a Rave. Extremely well done, and how well the musicians played so well with all the strobes and lasers. That was Awesome. 👏👏🙌🙌🙌
They nailed this fair play. Will always get shivers listening to this track. Glad I was around to hear it everywhere. For me only a few tracks actually hit this feeling and avicii levels is another. Out in Ibiza closing parties.
I had a cultured upbringing. The horns and the stings really sing. This is my relaxation meditation music. I have a varied catalogue. Thank you to my Mum for that.

It's truly the new Hallelujah Chorus

Because Sandstorm is the national anthem of EDM
The real treasure is the feeling of the harmonics in a very large hall. That is the best feeling on 🌎

I would dare to assume it's relatively uncommon for an orchestra to get such a wild audience. Hell of a show, you can feel the energy.
