The Twilight Sad - I Could Give You All That You Don't Want

Published on Feb 12, 2015 thetwilightsadofficial

http://thetwilightsad.com

Quick disclaimer: I recently discovered this band and absolutely love them. That said, I didn't think I would be posting them here anytime soon as this site is strictly about specific synth demos and heavy synth spotting only, with few exceptions. Well... a funny thing happened. I finally got around to watching this video in full and I noticed something odd midway through that would definitely warrant a post here on MATRIXSYNTH. You will notice the only synth featured in the video is a Roland Juno-60, but that in and of itself really isn't enough to warrant a post. There has to be something more. So why the post? Watch the video and see if you can guess, then come back to this... Done watching? So what was the guitar playing vs. the Juno-60? While watching the video I realized that what I thought I was hearing was the guitar towards the end, was likely the Juno-60. If you didn't catch it, watch the video again, listen, and try see what each instrument is playing. If I'm right, it's a fascinating transition and conceptual blend of the two instruments. The transition happens at 2:08 with the first reveal at 2:14 and 2:20 (guitar) followed by 2:34 and 3:08 (Juno-60). I could be wrong, and it could be they chose to show the guitar playing rhythm vs lead at those points, but I do know the Roland Juno-60 and most synths in general are capable of making that sound. I thought this was a good example of how a synth can add substantially to a track without having to stand out specifically as a synth, and that gets the post. To expand on this, what originally drew me into synths wasn't the "synthy" timbres we've come to traditionally associate with synths nor the attempt to mimic real world instruments, but rather the exploration of sound with instruments not possible before. With a synth you get to create your own instrument, and it doesn't have to sound like a synthesizer. One of my favorite synthesists is Richard Barbieri of the band Japan because he did things with the Prophet-5 that sounded more organic than synthetic. He used the Prophet-5 as an instrument rather than as a synth if that makes sense. Sometimes, like in this track, you don't even realize what you were hearing came from a synth and that is a good thing. The title of this track is somewhat fitting in that context as well. Sometimes a synth (and I'm guessing this site for that matter) will give you all that you don't want. There is so much more to synths. It's all good.
