French connection Ondes Martenot Messiaen
Loading...
Uploaded by sidecars on Jul 7, 2007
Me playing my French Connection keyboard, sort of a fake Ondes Martenot that was created at the request of Johnn Greenwood in Radiohead. Still learning the instrument. Just got the score today.
Funny thing. The door to my deck was open, and the birds were singing up a storm. Messiaen would have been happy!
I am in Seattle.

does the keys have the vibrato mechanism on them?

@Daftendirekt93 - In the US you can get one from us, Big City Music. In the U.K. you can get one from Analogue Systems. In Europe I believe it is Touched By Sound.

Apparently Jonny Greenwoods favorite peice of music

The birds are such a coincidence!

Where can you find these?

This is part of Messiaen's Turangalila Symphony.

amazing playing, so spiritual...i need this as a controller to my doepfer...appart from the ring controller, you can use as well the keyboard to trigger normal notes just to make leads and "normal" music?

Thank you.
Yes, the keyboard can be played, but the volume is still controlled by the volume "button" I guess you would call it. You can switch it out, but the notes are then clipped and sound ugly!

Bravissimo! I'm happy to hear the French Connection, and to hear it well played!
I have 2 little questions: where can I buy it and how much is it?...
abbjorko 4 years ago
Thank you. It is fun to play. You can buy them at Big City Music. I don't have the URL, and they don't allow those here anyway. I think it has gone up in price to about $2500, due in part to the sinking US dollar.

The sound is so beutiful!
What kind of modul-setup is that?
I don't know much but what else besides
VCO, VCA is needed for this?

Thank you. It is a rather simple one. Look at my other videos for a few shots of it. I only have a vco and vca... a filter would help,I am sure!
