What a waste, using so nice instruments to make cheesy sounds/music (ok, i never liked jmj and his music, but using an aks to make "pssshhtt" and another one to make just a wide vibrato on the filter ...)
ReplyDeletei'd be less angry if he was using a sh101, a juno, or other smaller instruments to do such things
this is one of the coolest videos ive seen in a while
ReplyDeleteVery nice video
ReplyDeleteIt's great to see him going back to the Oxygène
(Yes I like JMJ and hell yes I like "cheesy" sounds/music)
Wait...is he using the 90's Sovtek army green phasers now.
ReplyDeleteHow close are they to the Electro Harmonix ones?(I know same company...)
Re: The Liberation he says "the first ever portable keyboard designed by Robert Moog in the 70s". Its really too bad JMJ didn't have a Syntar, the first ever portable keyboard designed by George Mattson in the 70s. Check matrixsynth's past for a picture of Bob Moog playing the Syntar a couple of years before Moog Music produced the imitation Syntar they called the Obama Nation .. err, Liberation.
ReplyDeleteI love JMJ. What Adrien said makes no sense at all. JMJ was a pioneer. Consider when he did Oxygene.
ReplyDeleteIn the "Witness" soundtrack, Maurice Jarre kicked his son's synthy ass in one swift stroke.
ReplyDeletethe fact i like or no like jmj and his music is not really important
ReplyDeletecalling him a "pioneer" makes me laugh, especially considering the time he made "oxygene"
ok, 1976, walter carlos, jean jacques perrey, isao tomita and many others were making incredible synth musics (not only classical music, listen to jjp for exemple), at that time, jmj was composing music playing them with 2 or 3 fingers, did not even really know how to use his instruments (i always have the feeling to listen to somebody who does not know or master what he s doing), compared to what was doing tomita with his moog ...
so, when i see/hear what he was doing (and still do) with his nice instruments, it makes me puke
i would assume that jmj multi-tracked a single aks on the recordings. what he was talking about here was performing the piece live. and so to accommodate all the sounds and remain authentically played on aks's he needs a number of them as they dont have patch memories. so, given the budgets jmj tends to get, and his wealth in general, having an aks for each sound effect is the obvious and right thing to do.
