Uppsala Analogue Synthesizer Symphonic Orchestra (UASSO) live at Volt Festival, part 1 of 2

[RuskoVEVO]

Awesome but I agree with REwire. This quite sounds like ambient music with an orchestral edge. This can easily be done using a Desktop Audio Workstation. But with the right consistency, this project could well eventually "generate" masterpieces. @Interactivesystems The style of performance needs to be pushed. It's not the performance that I feel needs improvement, but rather the score. From listening to a lot of electroacoustic new age music (yes that rhymes), I feel they could do far better.

[weberdcoe]

Great!!!

Bravo

[bobblyface]

great idea!

[afro4848]

just.. WOW

[hdebbache2000]

Wow.. did you record the performance? I really want that

[numanuma20]

Do you have sheet music for this?

[zbox98]

This is fascinating.

[cheamverdi]

I write classical music for synths. This video proves that just having powerful instruments does NOT make the actual music any good. In fact this video is totally emabarrassing. It is terrible music and also out of time. Hardly an advert for synthesisers.

[legaata]

@cheamverdi Can you give an example of a YT-video which you consider to be good synth composition?

[DIGITALSCREAMS]

Hello, this makes me wanna have analog synth sex.

Id love to augment this with a swooshing Jupiter 8 pad and some Prophet 5 stabs.

Brilliant...5 stars from me!

[flamincow11]

This isn't symphonic, this is synthphonic

[PunchandJudyDuo]

Cool! Where is the Theremin?

[FlametopFred]

totally awesome

[myrmur]

Wonderful... where can I buy your works?

[fuckingharpsichord]

genius

[Laura041974]

This is brilliant, a bit like tangerine dream. I'm sure that others will form groups because as old synths are so dear, most people will only be able to afford one and have to pick carefully. So groups will form to combine the sounds of different ones. Only a few rich people will be able to own several. All the ones I like cost about 1.5K!

[bookerC64]

Cool idea. Keep it up! :)

[BrontoScorpioMusic]

Very, very nice! This is just amazing! I sometimes imagined a synth orchestra and i've finally found it. More of this please!

Btw: Your username has to be the best in youtube history :)

[mrcobck]

Really interesting..! :-D

[valesb21]

hello!

I am Valeria from México, I love synths and I was thinking many months ago, if I could make an orquestra just with synths, I am very surprised that in Uppsala exist one! I will live there 2 years, I arrive in August 2010. I am a musician two, and it will be amazing to work with you sometime...here is my mail valesb21 at hotmail

[valesb21]

hello!

[lurynowicz]

Masterpiece! I wish I had seen this live, in Poland for example :D

[efsq]

cool, I imagine some 80s scifi movie by listening to this

[VTN66]

verry good i like it til the next

[MrFabianschmidt]

Dette var kjempe bra!!!=)

[Snowwie888]

This first minute of "music" I always have on channel 99

[mikefix]

Absolutely Amazing!! One of the best things I've seen!

[kimouts]

wow! really big respect! what was the synth line up? and what made that rhodes type of sound? a juno 60?

really good stuff! Is there anywhere i can download this in good quality?

[lesingemonotone]

Yep...the Juno-60 does the "rhodes".

[REwire]

Interesting setup but the composing simplistic, repetetive and monotonous. One could do so much with all that power; create an amazing symphonic complex masterwork.

[raidersofthelostarp]

You are right in saying that the composing is quite simple.

Choosing not to use MIDI, the problem we had to face is that not all of the players are "virtuoso"s.

We could only reharse 5 times before the performance, and never with the full line up.

So we decided on a set of simple rules which could drive the composition in an interesting way albeit being simple to play and coordinate.

Looking forward for more amazing symphonic complex masterworks in the future though ;D

[aphasia8]

@raidersofthelostarp

this is awesome.

being in a band is like having multiple relationships.

peace

jd

[Interactivesystems]

@REwire um its about 10 times more interesting than your own work, so get your own synth orch and outdo him then? put up or shut up. i dont think you could actually, few can, pietro is a genius with a great sense of harmony in my opinion

[ovuori]

Awesome! This is just fantastic!

[synthdood]

AWESOME!

[ThePurityControl]

That was bloody awesome, man. Do more stuff like this! :D

Do you plan touring at all? I don't see a schedule on your myspace?

[mik300z]
