"The great master of synths, Vangelis, left us on May 17 ... apart from being a virtuoso, he was also an incredible performer, composer, improviser and melodist.

Instruments : SynthR4 (arppegio1), SynthR3 (arppegio2 sync Electribe2), ARP Pro-soloist, MoogSub37 + Retro One NRSynth (winds), SE-1 Electronics Moog (bassy lead) + Hansy Mister M (China Samples) on KX88, Arturia Prophet VS / CS80 + Magix Sequoia Orchestral Ensemble on Studiologic SL73 (with sustain pedal which is so cool ... ) RIP dear Vangelis.

FOR KLAUS SCHULZE : DESERT WINDS (live Session)

video upload by KurtzMindfields

"I was wondering how to pay an ultimate homage to the great Klaus Schulze.
My greatest memory of this artist was from the beginning of his career his ability to go alone with his synths on stage and take us into his sonic, cosmic and fabulous universe.
So i plug my synths and recorded live this musical piece, for Klaus, with humility,, and start an improvisation in 3 parts around a sequence work under his influence.
Instruments : SynthR3 ARP 4012 & S.E.M : master stéréo sequencer (with TC M300 & SPX90 reverb/delay), Retro One NRSynth : Big Moog bass & Winds ( + Line 6 Chorus & DD2 Delay), Ancestor NRSynth (ARP 2600) : S&H rain (+ Midiverb reverb), Minimoog D (+ MXR Phaser & Delay), Waldorf Zarembourg : Phased Strings, Mister M Hansy : Mellotron Choir.
