Switched on Jenkins: Dies Irae

A synthesiser arrangement of the Dies Irae (Day of Wrath) from Karl Jenkins Requiem that I did late last year, the video is made from Doctor Who and the Robots of Death - the story has quite an apocalyptic slant to it, and somehow I'd always imagined the VOC robots strutting around to a good Dies Irae.

I agree with the above statement by you both, This is brill, it's always great to hear other variants of musical projects, To be honest, I thought trying to re-produce anything by Karl Jenkins would be impossible! But you've proven different, What software are you using? I'm still lingering on with Cubase!!!!

@one2nd1 Thank you!

I used Oscillastation for the sequencing/arranging and Acounstica Mixcraft for the multitracking/mixing, the synths are all hardware.

This is rather nice & a tribute to Karl Jenkins' magnificent work. Thank you for uploading your synth arrangement of it. I’m surprised more people have not seen this clip & not commented on your good work. I think putting Dr Who in the title might help bring lots more people to it.

Thank you! I'm glad that you liked it!

Strangely, there doesn;t seem to be much love for 'Switched On' arrangements at the moment, this did originally have Doctor Who in the title and a link to it from Gallifrey Base (DW forums) but the thread there got no replies at all. After a few weeks I took Doctor Who out of the title in case it was putting off people who like Jenkins but not DW!
