Donny Benét - Le Piano (Official Music Video)
video upload by Donny Benét
This one was spotted and sent in via Soviet Space Child.
Roland TR-808 intro, followed by an ARP 2600. I'm guessing the 2600 is layered over a Yamaha CP70 mentioned below for the piano sounds? The 2600 does appear to come in for the synth solo at 3:04. The bass almost sounds synthetic. Soviet Space Child mentioned it sounds an awful lot like a MiniMoog. Whatever it is, it's fun stuff.

"It gives me great pleasure to present the first single Le Piano from my upcoming EP also titled Le Piano, coming out April 1 on Dot Dash records
After a crazy period of touring, being stuck at home for the past 2 years allowed life to slow down and gift me an extended period in my home studio.
After writing and releasing Mr Experience at the beginning of the coronavirus, I’d turned back to listening to a lot of instrumental music - Sakamoto, Hiroshi Yoshimura, Goblin, Kraftwerk, Vangelis, Yanni…to name a few.
I indulged myself and bought a vintage Yamaha CP70 electric grand piano, as well as finally setting up my studio to record live drums - something that’s been on my mind for quite some time. It seemed too soon to be writing a new album straight after Mr Experience (an album which I can’t wait to perform for you in 2022) so I spent most of the time in my little room experimenting, skilling up, and enjoying the musical process once again without the pressures of deadlines and touring.
This EP is a small taste of my world from this crazy moment in time - I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed creating it.

He is a great musical and video talent: well worthwhile checking out his videos, especially "Konichiwa" (not live.)
ReplyDeleteI havent seen him live as himself, but he gigs with other bands: I saw him with a band opening for Fr John Mistry, on bass.
(I like the littl3 joke early in this clip that almost every thing he is shown playing is wrong: drum machine when live drums are playing, 2600 when a piano (mostly) is playing, bass whem a synth is playing, cick drums when vibes are in the audio.)
