Memories of green (Vangelis cover)

short excerpt from bladerunners atmospheric piece. I used a little flange effect on the Juno g's piano as Vangelis did for the original.(I think he used a guitar flange pedal) As usual excuse the bad playing, oh, and turn the volume down, I had the levels up way too high for the recording.oops!

Roland Juno G-piano
Roland juno 6- whoopy sound
Roland Juno 106- beeps
Korg X5- random computer sound

Whow, the background sounds sound brilliant. I'd like to hear it all the way through though, you can buy the notes you know? I have a copy (not for sale of course!).

Thanks Mike, but I can't read music, only play by ear. There are some tricky bits in it that are only for piano players I think. I spend more time getting the sound from the synths !

@mik300z It would be the greatest pleasure if you could play ''Chariots of fire'' by Vangelis Papathanasiou or ''Echoes of Antarctica''. I also play piano by ear, but I did some studies for about 15 years. It really requires to be patient until you get the results you want.

Very nice try man, you really have talent. Could you give a try for those exerpts?

@nanchuanwushu1 Hi John, Thanks:) My hands often drift to the chariots melody but I'm not quite there yet! I also love the antarctica echoes ( I have played some of it on my video Vangelis Echoes) . The final track on that album is one I have in mind for a future video.

Hey , what's your setup for this? It looks like your playing on the esq-1. Are you just running the signal from the juno g through it?

Also, I just bought an esq-1, my first synth ever. Really looking forward to it.

[mik300z]

Yep, I still use my ES1 as midi controller. Juno G piano played through it. ESQ has much nicer keys:)

Simply Beautiful. My head is filled with images of Deckard's smoke filled apartment, hover-cars, Japanese coke ads and Sean Young's imaginary childhood. Thank you.

Beautiful set-up, I'm really enjoying your videos, your craftsmanship, the lightning, the video angle, everything - I'm so jealous...

I've just recorded Memories of Green with the "dark helicopter sound" from Blade Runner (Memories of Green was composed before the movie) in the background instead of the synths of the original. Just click on my avatar to check it out in my channel. Thanks!

@vagasesino Haha, did I hit the wrong chord?!!!

[vagasesino]

@irena7777777 fuck you!!!

[irena7777777]

@vagasesino Ok, then, Mozart!

[andreapizzo1977]

Awesome!!!! 

[gugegongji]

A wonderful interpretation of a hauntingly familiar piece.

[vagasesino]

sorry this is bull shit

And really nice cover by the way. I had to write this in new comment, because I reached limit. I'd love to see the notes, but I remember, that you can' read and write them... Anyway, best wishes, and looking forward for some Vangelis type of theme!

[modelicus]

Hi Mike! Have you find out, how Vangelis recorded this one? The background "bleeps" I mean. Because you wont believie it! ". The electronic noises also featured on this track came from one of the first handheld electronic games, a Japanese product called the "Bambino UFO Master Blaster Station"(!). Raphael Preston remembers "…having to play it for the length of the piece without losing the game, because when you lost, it made the most horrible noise…" ". It's amazing, how he created new sounds.

[eddyosp]

That was really amazing!!! :D
