Technical details:
The light-up MIDI controller is called LUMI and was sent to me by Roli (2 units for 4 octaves). The full-size controller I use is the Sequential Prophet XL. Other mini keyboards I use are the Yamaha Reface CS and Korg microKEY-61.
My DAW is Cubase. I use a variety of plugins and hardware synths for the sounds - Keyscape, Retrologue, Organteq, Halion SE, Prophet 6 (to name a few).
All the MIDI art is recorded live, and I don't edit the MIDI in any way (no quantization, no velocity editing, nothing). Sometimes I add a backing track - usually after recording, to give the art some groove and context when I feel it needs it.
How did I get into MIDI art? Ever since I saw the inspiring work of Savant, Andrew Huang and other amazing MIDI artists I've been thinking of trying to create something like that in real time. Jacob Collier deserves a lot of credit as well - he was the first to pull it off live and his fantastic videos proved that the concept can work. Finally, the news of a new Metroid 2D game after 19 years (Metroid Dread) got me hyped and inspired me to give the idea a shot at last. I'm glad I did! :)

This is probably the longest RUclips description I've ever written lol. If you read all this, write "asdfasdfjhoxzcv" in the comments and I'll know you're an amazing person.

He drew the left-side black keys of the synth using ascending arpegios, the middle ones using chords and the right side ones using descending arpegios in order to create a vanishing point effect. This guy's devotion to detail is crazy. This is beautiful man, thank you.
Thank you for your kind words 🙏💙
absolute legend - all of these are godly but I think synth/minecraft/adult swim stand out the most to me, well done! 🙏
Thanks so much! I appreciate you watching, glad you enjoyed them 🙏❤️
@@GLASYS also "asdfasdfjhoxzcv" - i just now read all of it LOL
@@lpsc_zzz haha you're a great human 🙏

With this kinda skill you could easily hide an easter egg in your music if you made music for any sort of media

This is a really cool and creative take on the midi art trend and it's executed amazingly well.
Thanks Stuart, appreciate the kind words 🙏
This is so fun to watch! 😁 Making this both this graphical and musical really is an artform in itself. 👏👏👏 Happy New Year, keep it going! 🎉

@@GLASYS Most Welcome!
Holy smokes! *This is AWESOME!*
Thanks so much Chris! Appreciate it :)
Awesome 👌
I love the adult swim one
Thanks! That was such a fun collab :)
dude i swear this man is gonna draw Mona Lisa with a piano
my favourite one is among us because not only i like the game lmfao, but also because i love the tune of it! my second favourite one must be the pumpkin one because i love the shape and the tune! third favourite is definitely the skull because i love the full song LOL. I still really love the other ones too :D
Thank you! I'm so glad you're enjoying these, really appreciate your support HungryBlitz! 😀🙏
Great job!!
Thank you! Much appreciated 😊🙏
wtf this is amazing
I just LOVE your Midi drawing. The music has a vibe of something Prog Rock from ElectricLightOrchestra or something similar :)
Thanks so much! Really glad you're enjoying it 😊🙏
@@GLASYS You never know, there might be some discussion to be hard around converting this into a playable BMS file (:
@@BMSworldNZ what's a BMS file? Sorry for my ignorance, don't believe I'm familiar with that
this guy is underrated, he needs more views, subs and likes
Thanks for the support, I'm very grateful 😀🙏
@@GLASYS np man :D
There is only one word that needs to be said for this whole channel
UNDERATED!!!!
Thanks for the support, I appreciate it 🙏
You are genius!
You're very kind my friend, thanks so much! 🙏
The last one caught me off guard LMAO!
🦆🦆🦆
super supeeer... super coolll
Thank you 😊🙏
Talent Magnafique!!!
Thanks Damien! 🙏
Skull ❤️
that pokémon one blew my mind
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it 🙏😀
DAMN DANIEL!!
Daniel?
Heck ya il buy a hat!
Thanks for the support, really appreciate it! 🙌🙏
The Adult Swim one is my favorite. Who would have thought that the letter "w" was so groovy? I hope Adult Swim actually used this as a promotional video for their show.
Thanks! They used it on their socials
mind blown. i had the same idea but i thought ahw hell no....
Some of video game tracks sound like a Nintendo 3DS games' main menu music
Holy cow! That was incredible 👏
How long would you say the typical piece takes to create, practice included?
Thanks so much! They take anywhere between 1-5 days, depending on compexity (and how much time I dedicate to it every day)
The Among Us one sounds like music that would be in a CoryxKenshin video
the minecraft one is actually a banger
Thanks! 😀🙏
Please make a full song of the adult swim
Oh man, that's the only one I probably can't extend. It was a paid commission, and they own the rights to it now. Maybe AS will ask me for a full version sometime, that would be fun! 😀🙏
Tomorrow we already enter the year 2022. All of us know about how productive GLASYS was this year to give us all a lot of content to be amazed, stunned and highly entertained about. Really, thank you for that! But who can remember that 2022 - as well - is the year, the story of the dystopian cinematic masterpiece "Soylent Green" (1973) takes place? Everyone should know about this fact like everyone get surprised watching GLASYS do unexpected things using his keyboards. Music can be turn into graphical art using MIDI and humans can creatively be applied to solve food shortage (just watch the movie ;-). What I want to say? No, absolutely nothing regarding composing more proper music for the euthanasia chambers shown in the movie. How even dare you to think, bad people?! It's clearly easier than that: GLASYS definitely belongs to the well appreciated unexpected what happens in our weird world - and I'm looking forward to GLASYS in 2022, who makes our lives a bit better while we have to deal with how dystopian movie plots become reality bit by bit (hopefully not the "Soylent Green" way) ;-D! Happy New Year's Eve and all the best :-)!
Haha Curtis you're the best man. I've never seen that movie, now I'm kinda curious lol. Happy New Year my friend, thanks SO MUCH for the amazing support throughout the year! 🙌♥️🙏
The Minecraft one is amazing imo
Thank you! Happy new year :)
@@GLASYS have a great year!
3:41 that remember me gta san andreas
Are you still going to be making original music and tunes in the future? :D love your writing x
Of course! Lots of new music planned for this year. Thanks Dollysplit! :)
@@GLASYS yaaay, looking forward to it, and as always, incredibly impressed by your work! X
Can you do the sonic Icon!? Please I Love Your Art!
Thanks Jose! Definitely wanna do a Sonic one! :)
What is your piano education/background? You obviously have amazing keyboard chops (I’m specifically thinking of the 3rds in the Z of Zelda)
Thanks dude! Started with classical, then jazz (as a teenager) and then got into keyboards/synths
@@GLASYS sweet, I figured 👍🏻anyway, cheers to the shorts algorithm for showing me your pumpkin video 🍹🍺
I’m particularly drawn to your videos because I messed around with live midi art drawing letters (namely. F, U, C, and K) and then trying to draw basic shapes, so I can moderately appreciate what goes into drawing the freaking piano
@@VanVlearMusic haha hmm I wonder what you were trying to write... 🤔😂
The first one definitely took me the most time, but once I had a workflow and a method down it started going a lot faster. I'd love to see more people give it a shot.
I appreciate your kind words and support man! 🙏
Whoa you can talk!
I learned that yesterday, watched a talking tutorial 😂
I can't even draw that precise with pen.
I can't either! Haha it's a very different skill set 😄🙏
the first one is it a wide laptop or the sythinizer thing whatever it is and whatever yoi call it
It's a synth with knobs/buttons, not a laptop :)
:0
Love these man, somehow I missed the Mario power ups one! Would have been hilarious if you did the Mario 3 mismatched of all three lol
Checking out merch NOW!
asfasdfjhoxzsv
Haha thanks for being amazing Jim! Mismatched power-ups is actually a great idea hahaha. Much love my friend 🙏
@@GLASYS oh yeah, those Lumi boards are excellent for this btw ♥️
How long do u train for the pictures?
As long as I need to, usually an hour or so (once I’m done composing it)
They should add two like buttons for videos like this
which software are u using???plz tell!!
Cubase
Thx very much
👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️✨✨✨✨🙏🙏🙏🙏
diosss.... preñame
Love this compilation… I subscribed recently… can you do a Star Wars one… I don’t care what it is just something to do with Star Wars.
👍🏼👁👄👁👍🏼
Thanks Chubbydog, I appreciate the support! YES, a Star Wars one is definitely on the list! 😀🙏
Quack

Pokémon sounds so much like Pokémon
Thank you! Did my best, even though I've never played a Pokemon game haha
