The Casio CZ-3000 "1986" by Justin Robert

I recorded the album "1986" entirely with a Casio CZ-3000. There are no over dubs, no external FX used, and no computer processing to change the sound in any way. 1986 is largely inspired by the classic ambient sounds of the 1980s like Steve Roach, Klaus Schulze, and the Blade Runner soundtrack by Vangelis.

Thanks for checking out my video and I hope you like the sounds!

Wish the battery wasn't dead on mine so I could save my presets with out doing sysex everytime! Its very lovely though, your video helped me decide to buy one!

@idiocyparade Thanks! Well you're in luck, the batteries on these guys are a simple AA battery. There's a small removable door on the underside that opens up.

@idiocyparade I know its crazy, they're the only ones I've ever seen in my life that use them.

you guys are all so nice, I really appreciate all of the positive response I've been getting for this album. I will be releasing a new album in April called Coruja. I hope all of you check it out. It really is going to be one of my best ones in a long time, if not ever. All of the info is on my blog which is justinrobert dot wordpress. I used some other cool synths on it as well as a whole slew of exotic percussion and live drums.

Sounds like some Zodiac track's from 'In memoriam' album. Nice!

This is super, like the BBC radiophonic workshop. Sounds a bit like "Mysterioso" which was used in Blake's 7 and Doctor Who.

just downloaded and listened to this in its entirety. absolutely love it. i used to own a CZ3000 and i found it a difficult synth to love, but you've found the character of it and really brought it out nicely. very, very nice work indeed.
