Genesis - Watcher of the Skies (intro)

Having fun with some Mellotron sounds. Hail Tony Banks!

"Much have I travell'd in the realms of gold,
And many goodly states and kingdoms seen;
Round many western islands have I been
Which bards in fealty to Apollo hold.
Oft of one wide expanse had I been told
That deep-brow'd Homer ruled as his demesne;
Yet did I never breathe its pure serene
Till I heard Chapman speak out loud and bold:
Then felt I like some watcher of the skies
When a new planet swims into his ken;
Or like stout Cortez when with eagle eyes
He star'd at the Pacific—and all his men
Look'd at each other with a wild surmise—
Silent, upon a peak in Darien."

Hope you enjoy this video! Thanks for watching and don't forget to rate!

@Juancarctica hello my friend!! how are you? I'm having some stability problems with the O, trying to fix it.. that's the main reason I'm using the TeX so much at home! The O is getting jealous hehehe

@KorgFreakk My fav part too :) Yeap, the Extreme has a nice preset called WatcherOfTheSkies but I tried to make my own.. strings + brass + accordion + organ (SW1) with some rotary and reverb!

I'd love to learn to play the intro on my Synth

Can you email me the Key, chord progressions or sheet if you made one?

A perfect example of how dissonant chords can build tension so well... beautiful.

Very impressive Mellotron sound(s)!!! Great work!! :)

How did you made the Mellotron Brass sound and the Accordion sound?

Since I also am a Korg (M50) user, if you could help me, I would be very grateful. :)

If you want to reply me on Facebook, sure you can!
