FOR VANGELIS : DANCE INTO THE EDEN SEA (live session #3)

video upload by KurtzMindfields

"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. To pay homage to him, I took the time to listen to my heart and compose a musical piece performed live. it was without doubt one of the most difficult sessions for me to carry out in order to preserve the spirit of the master.

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.
