Keyboard Solo Medley: Chapter II

Published on Jun 18, 2017 hamsterdunce

"More music on umop.com/parallax.htm

It's been 11 years since my first video here on YouTube: the dreaded 1980s Keyboard Solo Medley! [see below] This time around, after a mere 19 takes and a few weeks of prep work, I decided to expand the selections by plus or minus a decade or so. The song names and original artists are all titled in the video for your convenience!

My Packrat comic book, 60 pages of synthesizer cartoons and amazingness: umop.com/packrat.htm

Here's a place where you can buy some DVDs of my animations: umop.com/dvd.htm

There's a crapload of other links I could post here but you get the idea. I make lots of art & music and want you to buy all of it.

Thanks for watching! --Dave"

1980s Keyboard Solo Medley

Uploaded on Feb 21, 2007

"All (or at least most) of your favorite cheesy keyboard solos wrapped up in one medley. Sorry about the jacket."

So awesome. And the jacket still fits! :)

"The Fast & the Tedious:" Synth guitar solo in every key!

All twelve keys, most in both major, minor, phrygian, you name it, are taken for a lightspeed ride in this comically, idiotically insane 7+ minute keyboard prog-wank solo."

Mr. Roboto by Styx, performed on giant '70 Lowrey organ

Add a popular '80s song with an unpopular '70s organ that weighs over 400 lbs., with a few '60 tiki mugs, and what do you get? More timelessly delicious cheese than the entire state of Wisonsin, for starters. Enjoy without apologies."

Parallax - "Ryu." Live synth super-mega colon-blowing keytar soloing!

YouTube via hamsterdunce | July 10, 2010

"More music on umop.com/parallax.htm

Skip ahead to @3:30 for the keytar solo if you're the impatient type.

After uploading a live version of another "VIsit the Entropics" tune last week ("Umlaut" - which I promise to redo as well) and being thoroughly disappointed with its audio quality, I decided to offer up this fun indoors direct-audio performance of "Ryu" that's quite a bit more watchable. I'm basically just playing along with the CD here, and the solo is so incredibly hard to double that I decided to harmonize with most of it instead. The result is an occasionally messy wank that has moments of pure alien bliss.

Iapetus - instrumental synth prog rock

YouTube via hamsterdunce.
"More music on umop.com!
Putting the mental in instrumental, once again... Another odd ditty... this one grooves in an alternating 15/8 and 4/4... more epileptic dancing fun for everyone! Backing tracks & rock organ part are all Garage Band... such a great program. Meanwhile, the Nord Lead, Access Virus kb, and trusty old Korg 01/W are along for the ride, with Cthulhu riding shotgun."

Throwing Fire

"Throwing Fire is on my 2nd CD, Disorganized Fun: https://www.ronaldjenkees.com/mp3-store/ SUPER FUN TIME WITH THIS JAM!!!! Thanks a lot for watching! Hope you liked it. Kindof a rough cut, but it's always fun. This video is dedicated to the band Papa Roach for letting me check out their studio and giving me a place to stay in LA. Those are some hard-working rockers and good guys. I got cold chills listening to the songs they're working on for their new album. I think it's coming out really soon. My friend Sam gave me the hat I'm wearing in this vid. It's made of 100% recycled material. Can't beat that. Here's their site: http://www.livity.org I'm using FL Studio software to make the beat in the background and a Korg Triton Le keyboard on top, Motif XS8 on bottom."
