Vangelis - Memories of Green (Blade Runner)
Loading...
Uploaded by Didlybom on Jan 18, 2012
Trying to replicate Memories Of Green by Vangelis from the Blade Runner soundtrack used in Ridley Scott's film in 1982.
Vangelis composed (improvised?) Memories Of Green in 1980 for his album See You Later, but it's not as famous as the Blade Runner soundtrack in which the track was included too.
The instrument is a Nord Stage 2, using a sampled Bösendorfer piano with some flanger ("drunk piano"), virtual analog synthesizers controlled with an expression pedal, and a generous amount of reverb.
From http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/1997_articles/nov97/vangelis.html
One of the best scenes in the film occurs early on, when Deckard (Harrison Ford) has an awkward meeting with Rachael (Sean Young). The music heard in this scene fits it perfectly, yet was taken from an earlier Vangelis album. The piece, 'Memories Of Green', is distinctive for its melancholy, 'drunk' piano sound. Raphael Preston: "We used an Electroharmonix Electric Mistress flanger pedal on 'Memories Of Green', putting a Steinway Grand through it. The electronic noises on there came from one of the first hand-held electronic games, a Japanese thing called the Bambino UFO Master Blaster Station! I had to play it for the length of the piece without losing the game, because when you lost, it made the most horrible noise."
I've tried to replace the electronic game bleeps with Vangelis' signature dark Blade Runner pad.

Great work.
I love your sonic palette, and the juxtaposition of using red to play green.
