Aphex Twin - Aisatsana - Player Piano
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- Composed by Richard D. James (Aphex Twin), 'aisatsana' is a Satie-esque piano piece inviting stillness and careful listening to one's surroundings. This mechanical and acoustic reproduction of 'aisatsana' uses a 100-year-old player piano to play a custom-made roll of the piece. Set in Hadden Park, the piano is recorded alongside visiting starlings and crows in the canopy above, creating a "live" version of the bird song heard in Aphex Twin's original version on the 2014 'Syro' album. An homage to Richard's signature blurring of the acoustic, electronic, and automatic, the meeting of the programmed player piano and the park's incidental soundscape invites one to reflect on notions of soundscape composition, 'liveness', and automation.
‘aisatsana’ is the closing track from Aphex Twin • Syro released 22 September 2014 on Warp Records.

This is a really appropriate way to cover this song. Even the birds perform!
You know it's a good cover when it includes the background sounds
not sure why people are complaining about the piano being out of tune, i think it adds to it.
@popsofdarkness Who said anything about a perfect imitation or rendition of the original track? Only you as far as I can see.
Wait till these chuds hear Drukqs /CCAI pt2 - or discover what a prepared piano is (literally referenced in the title of some of the Aphex songs - Diskprep)

@@lull4ks the orginal poster is arguing against ghosts. no one is complaining that its out of tune
The bird song is a perfect fit
Birdsong
Considering there is also birdsong in the original, I don't know why it wouldn't be.
Yea
I tried not to cry, but god damn
there is a cool pan reverb sound when the sustained chord is held. .
OOOOOOOOOOoooooooooOooooooooooOooo
Used to have a piano like this in the house I grew up in. Don't think it had the auto-play function this has (or at least we never used it), but in any case it was forever wonky and slightly out of tune, sorta like this is. Hearing an Aphex track from it certainly evokes some emotions.
satie would be proud
I'm sure that somehow Satie would have found drum machines and sequencers very interesting.
I have no words. This is absolutely amazing! I love how it's being field recorded, just like the song. I like how the piano is a little off-tune and in the tiniest bit slower than the original. It definitely sounds like it's being played on a 100 yr old piano. To my fullest extent, I would say...it's a MASTERPIECE! Aphex Twin da 🐐, no 🧢.
This’ll fit right in with Westworld
Me hearing the first 4 notes - PRESSING LIKE IMMEDIATELY.
FOR GOD SAKE he gave us a cursed blessing as Richard D. James lost was his greatest saddest victory in life.. this song speaks to the soul of time and space. AMEN.. IT DEFIES MAGIC AND SCIENCE
I enjoy so much reading yt comments.Masterpiece on a masterpiece, jej!
this just gave me the idea of putting a phaser on a piano. i gotta use that. hope the opportunity comes eventually lol
wow!
Imagine you walk into what you think is an abandoned home and you hear this song being played.
This beautifully haunting song just makes me think "yeah...me too"
Gorgeous. It's a shame the piano is so badly out of tune; the wonkiness adds a little colour, but there are parts in the higher register that really jar.
I strangely like detuned pianos.
TheIcebomber detuned pianos work really well on some songs but I don't really feel like this is one of them. I'm glad you're able to enjoy it though.
Bone Weight in my opinion - detuned piano is an adres value that makes this cover unusual
you say its gorgeous and right after you diss it? you wouldnt hell as sure rate it as gorgeous if it was IN tune. check your logic there, smoke some weed or take some pills, cause shame that you are the fuck out of tune LOL
detuned pianos really work with old country songs
A rendition that visually, acoustically and artistically nears perfection. Bravo G
Man this is wonderful! How creative
Now that's impressive!
Excellent...
This is just wonderful ❤️
It’s content like this that makes me wonder where the creator of it is right now, and what they are doing at this moment
this is amazing.
awesome, thanks for sharing!
underrated. exemplary work. Much appreciated.
this is awesome
I wish more people knew of this.
superb
Funny how i searched youtube looking to see if anybody had done a cover of AFX 'Piano Tuners' then this shows up.😘
so pretty
When I say I'm in my happy place, this is where I am
perfect. thanks you. спасибо
Stanley park Vancouver
It's beautiful. Was this filmed in Stanley Park Vancouver?
Oh its in Hadden Park. Looked familiar!
why the fuck doesn't this have more views?
Very cool 😎
Can you recommend similar pieces to this? It does actually remind me of Satie, even Chopin's Nocturnes, somewhat. The mood this evokes for me is reminiscent of "A Raincoat's Room" by Swell Maps. Melancholic, minimal, slightly harrowing, yet objectively beautiful and gentle simultaneously.
watch the live barbican, london performance of this by aphex twin using a grand piano swinging on a pendulum. and then listen to brian eno's music for airports if you haven't already
Try Brahms intermezzo 117/1 and 118/2
If you haven't found them already, look for the group Penguin Café. Specifically the track Air a danser.
Sublime stuff.
Niiiiice
What are the moving parts on the right side of the player piano for? Why are they moving up and down?
it is called an air-motor (made up of multiple small bellows) and its driving the paper rolling mechanism
Thanks man! I looks so complex for just driving the paper rolling mechanism...
@@DeccaGG Thanks Jessica! Thats sounds pretty logic (｡♥‿♥｡) Lovely explanation.
♡
Then we were.
Unison😚
Damn
Where is it ? Look like geneva lake :)
Vancouver
..I would like this in Honorable memory of Queen Elizabeth..
que canción
This doesn't have nearly enough views or likes.
Tune your piano SIR
Great idea but the piano being so out of tune is to painful to listen to.
Tjalle den Ouden it makes it sound so much more old and obscure. I like it 😂
@@catalystv7520 My toughts
sounds like aphex tbh
I like it, it sounds vintage.
It sounds like a M83's cover
Great idea, too many shots
Honky tonk Aphex
