      The Omnichord reminds me of "Memory of a free festival" by David Bowie, though I imagine that was a Mellotron.

  • @gabe_s_videos

    I’d never heard of this song before watching your video, and I find the different in instrumentation makes such a huge difference: the original sounds like a very modern synth pop song that uses mostly virtual instruments and plugins to synthesize a lo-fi aesthetic. Yours reminds me of the mid-auguts indie music that used actual lo-fi instruments (including analog or VERY early digital synths) to actually BE lo-fi.
    I guess what I’m trying to say is yours is better. :P

    Rebecca Sugar used the Omnichord a lot in writing music for Adventure Time and Steven Universe. I don't know if I am impressed that Sugar did that or unimpressed with how simple that instrument seems to be. Sugar does do some chord progressions not many musicians would think to do in their music so yeah.
