Hi pr0cupid.

Send me a private message and we'll try to sort something out before your wedding. :-)

[pr0cupid]

hey disco. i love your piece very much. do you by chance know where to get this songsheet and the floppy disk for the electone? i need it urgently to play for a wedding for a friend. you would be a great help to me. its in 2 weeks time !

[sakosu2000]

so cool!! 

[StarTrekSarah1701]

Nice job!!!! I tried to film myself playing my EL90 today but the sound quality was terrible.... I'm definitely going to have to follow your example and link the organ straight to the computer :) Thanks for the inadvertent advice :D

[discofacelift]

Thanks @StarTrekSarah1701

I'm pleased you like my style of music.

It's harder than it looks to create a video that looks and sounds good.

I used Audacity to record the sound track and mixed it all together with Pinnacle video editing software.

Good luck and I look forward to watching and hearing your 1st performance.

Phil.

[StarTrekSarah1701]

@discofacelift My first performance is up!!! I chose an easy piece to start with but I intend to upload much more and much better! :)

[woxow]

i played with my computer and i mixed with your video

[organistuk]

Great playing,

I've got Yamaha EL90 which I've owned since around the Novemember or Decmember last year and I've been lessons for about 6 or 7 years (or more).

[discofacelift]

Thanks @organistuk,

The EL-90 is a great instrument if you take the time to find yourself around it. It can still hold it's self with the newer instruments around.

Hope to hear and see you playing your EL-90 on here some time.

Phil

[Spectraman3849]

Hi Phil. How did you record the 90 directly to your PC?. Fantastic arraignment. All the best. Craig.

[discofacelift]

@Spectraman3849

Hi Craig.

I connected the left and right sound out puts of the EL90 via 6mm jacks straight in to the 3mm stereo input of the sound card at the back of my pc.

I used Audacity to record the sound as a WAV file. I recorded the video at the same time. I then mixed the sound and video together using Pinnacle video editing software.

[Spectraman3849]

Thanks for the info Phil. I have got some tracks ready to record onto a CD. We will get the CD done next time my Dad brings his laptop down as its got a much better sound card in it than mine..

2 people don't believe we really walked on the moon.

[woxow]

u r awesome and a great song. good job. clear sound. i added my favorite

[Penguindog55]

Very well done, that sax sounds fairly superior for a modern Yamaha keyboard, bet those organs cost a fortune in their day.

[MVanthoor]

@Penguindog55 I don't know what an EL-90 cost, but it was a high-end organ at the time. My expectation is that it'd cost around the same as today's high end organs (Roland AT-900, for example)... so, around $25.000.

[Fdanqui]

Wow!! I'm such a fan!! Where can I get the music sheet for that song! It's incredible!

[Fantomaniac]

I admire your playing and interpretation of this piece. I love the sounds you have chosen, and is a perfect example of why this organ can still hold it's own.  More please!!!

[koopmans55]

Great great games

Bedankt en 5 sterren van Ben

[bobbiegirl1000]

Lovely! Thank you so much!

[AbuTube74]

Great job!

[KeybOrgel]

Smoooth. Great playing and fantastic sound!

[terryleejameson]

MY GOD! I LOVE THIS! It's so soothing and makes me just float away.... great chill out music!

[quantumc2]

Beautiful job!!! The Yamaha is and inpressive keyboard!

[Spectraman3849]

In my mind nothing has been made that can come close to the Yamaha El90. Not even its bigger siblings the' EL900 and ELX1. The modern stuf can be better but for a lot more money.

[vieira56]

Very good, well done,Thank you for the good time.

[megablocksmad]

i got to get this type of organ

[NELLOARA]

very nice!!!!!

[nodrog798]

I like the way you play,it's so relaxing.I think to improvise to much would spoil it.

Thanks for posting,really enjoyed it.

[ghostmarco]

ewmins me so mucho of evangelion the endings haha

[Zennybo0m]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!! *sings along* =D "Fly me to the moon.. let me play among the stars... Let me see what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars...." thanks you, discofacelift!

to share information.Current own a tyros2.How much & where to buy.Your reply is appreciated.Art

[discofacelift]

Hi,

The instrument I'm playing is a Yamaha EL-90T, Yamaha stopped producing them in around 2002. The only way you will find one now is on ebay or a used retailer who deals in this type on of instrument. If you search the internet for Yamaha organs for sale you may find one at a good price. the models to look for are EL90 EL90-T EL900 AR80 AR100. Let me know how you get on.

Regards

Phil.

[minoverta]

I love it

[yth28]

Great playing!! Thank you for posting this clip.

[semtex2you]

hi

nice job. as a musician, may i make a suggestion? this is right-on but, i , personally would like to see you improvise. get outta ya straight-jacket! '-) have fun and keep playin, it'll keep you well.

[discofacelift]

I always welcome suggestions.

I had music lessons for seven years and can only play with the music score; I know what you mean about the straightjacket. I find it hard to let my self-go when Im playing. Another issue is Ive played in a band for some years and they always expect you to play whats on the dots every time you go on stage; in away thats regimented me to an extent.

Feel free to make suggestions and comments. Ill try to ease up a little in my next video post.

Phil

[parejopinto]

@discofacelift omg I know what you mean. Awesome !!! hopefuly i can play like this and still be good at piano. Keep it up man

[woxow]

[xmrbojanglesx]

Very nice :)

[whataloadofbollox]

I love this song and really enjoyed your take on it.

[clancyg]

hey don't be so sure about the organ coming back... i'm in my 20's and i love this stuff.... great job!

[discofacelift]

Hi clancyg.

It's like a breath of fresh air to read your comment.

I was in my early teens when I got hooked on these great instruments.

Thanks for taking the time to write.

Regards

Phil

[kw231263]

Sounds Great,i learnt to play in the late 70s.

Nice to hear the organ played without sequencing.5 stars

[discofacelift]

Many thanks KW231263

The 70's were a great time for the electronic organ and enthusiasts a like. Sadly those days are gone and are not likely to come back. Thanks to YouTube we can still see these amazing instruments and help keep it alive, especially with all the performances that are being uploaded.

Thanks again

Regards

Phil

[discofacelift]

Hi drgelastic,

I really appreciate your comments.

It's so easy to get a good sound with style files and sequencing and the majority of people can't tell, its only when some one like your self who can play notices,I my self learned to play the organ back in the late seventies when instruments hardly had any auto accompaniment and what you heard was what you were playing.

Thanks once again for taking the time to post your comment,

Regards

Phil

[drgelastic]

you're welcome! I too learned in the late seventies to mid eighties. No sequencing back then.

[drgelastic]

Love it!!!! no sequencing, multi tracking, style files, or disks, just rhythm, means a hell of a lot to me. I have played Organ/Keyboards since 1978 and I loathe the way people sequence today. REAL PLAYERS like you are the true entertainers!!!! Love your style!!!

[thinggybob]

great version I have just added my big band version check out my user name thinggybob! Rob

[Canyoncreekboy]

yup he's damn good and have to give him 5 stars

[urciolo]

Beautiful arrangement - you play beautifully.

[KMNKeybordValt]

Great Playing 5stars

[timbo35067]

Very Nice. Go the El-90!!

[blancohobby]

Very sweet. Congratulations

[luckyvet]

Phenominal progress, being out of the scene for the past 10 years, a real treat listening to those real live sampled sounds.

[GQProton]

Very nice! I wish I could play my EL-90 like that!

[discofacelift]

Thanks jazz24p7 for taking the time to make a comment. Not everyone likes my compositions and style of playing, however every thing I do play is live and its me playing it, and that means no sequencing, multi tracking, style files, or disks, just rhythm, and I don't like using that if I can help it.

Many thanks disco facelift

[jazz24p7]

sorry to say that, but that sounds like the grandmothers version from a cruise boat...if you know what i mean...

[oybiadanil]

nicee..very nice.. i miss my organ..

[stan5557]
