Gorillaz & ondes Martenot, glassharmonica, cristal Baschet

[mgalin1]

Great bit of historical, yet contemporary musical aesthetic. Thx

The GHOSTBUSTERS soundtrack used this first in 1984. Listen to the opening when Columbia Pictures logo comes up - it's there. Listen when Sigourney Weaver goes into her apartment and the eggs hatch by themselves - it's there. A very haunting instrument. A lot like a theremin.

[Thechouch73]

C'est très créatif

La musique devient révolution, et révolutionne le son

C'est comme un jeu pour les grands

i completely adore that Bloch is playing one of the most delicate and rare instruments in the world with a wrench.

[playgirlc]

lol - why is that a "negative" you idiot, excuse me for having an opinion, lol

[playgirlc]

i hate the crystal baschet, it's creepy, it always reminds me of "the shining"!

respect to damon albarn though. and thomas bloch.

[ghanimist]

For all you Ondes Martenot fans out there.

Check out the french composer "Charles Koechlin". He wrote incredible orchestra works with Ondes Martenot. This guy is bigger than Debussy, Ravel, Faure, Satie ...

cheers, Ralf

[figocooldude]

@ghanimist Bigger than Satie and Debussy, are you sure? I'll check him out.

[ghanimist]

@figocooldude Yes, I´m sure. Comes always down to the personal taste. But I like him very much. He´s partly very simple, but he has an incredible feeling for orchestration and very subtile orchestral colours. Check out his "Le docteur fabricius", La course de printemp, Les bandar-log ( yes, the ones from thejungle book! ). Heinz Holliger rediscovered him and some very nice recordings on EMI the last 10 years. Enjoy!

[kidAmy]

[MN443]

DAMON ALBARN IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dude421]

What instrument was he thinking of making?

[DomSure]

Where can i watch the whole programme please? i like it i like it

[Nogli]

I want a cristal baschet!

[JohnyVirgil]

Does anyone know where on the internet you can purchase an Ondes Martenot? I want one soooo bad...

[glitchesandglitter]

ask radiohead... lol

[therising1]

You're not going to be able to find someone willing to part with one, as they are one of the most rare instruments around. There are Midi instrument surfaces that sort of replicate the sound, but nothing as elegant as the original.

[JchiefJ]

You can buy a "French connection" from analogue systems, which is kind of a replica of an ondes martenot.

[hubbinzki]

Thats true. I have one and it is amazing. I would highly reccomend it.

[Kurisuta1]

I'm going to see the Monkey King tommorow!!!

Yay!

[RoneyBalogna]

That guy is playing that crystal Baschet with a Wrench! What a minkus!

i think they use one of those instruments in the PLanet of the APES!

"Get your filthy hands off me you damned dirty Apes!"
