Do you listen to synthesizers anymore?

[telecode]

I don't see a problem, it all adds to the colour of the place and it often gives you an interesting insight into those doing it.

Yeah, I guess that's one way of looking at it.

Whatever George is playing, I dig that thing
Sounds like guitar tho

One of the best guitar solos and it’s a KEYTAR

My synth music has way more life (and death) than most rock music. The life I can put into a bassline, for example, exceeds anything you'll hear from any rock band's bass player or from an orchestra or even a jazz bassist. It's actually why I love so much synth based music.

Donald?

Awesome live music, which is, well... musical o.O

The hell kind binary choice is this? I don’t listen to synth players bitch about these damn kids with their damn samples and effects if that’s what you’re asking.

Which poster you addressing there? Artists have been using their conviction that they are great for many years. The keep saying it and they keep repeating it over and over again. I am pretty sure I have seen interviews with everyone from Elton John to Prince to James Brown all clearly stating they are "great" at what they do. Nothing wrong with firmly believing your own art or music is greater than everyone elses. Its what drives creative people.

Sounds like a nightmare to me. Who would talk about a concert and not mention the music? It's what it is all about, or should be. You go to a product launch to watch people play with technology, you go to a concert to hear music.

This, and the comments that follow it just make me sad. Suzanne Ciani and Don Buchla were musical partners. His engineering designs inspired her musical expression, and what she did with his instruments pushed his designs in new directions. She is a virtuoso on modular, and has a long-lauded history of synthesizer music. I mean, come on, they don't let just anybody play at the fricken Kennedy Center!

The concert was breathtaking. Watching her play felt like being a part of musical history. I didn't mean to make it sound like a product demo. She dedicated the concert to Don, as the instrument she was playing was the last one he designed before his death.

Indeed, Suzanne Ciani is a virtuoso but it's her voice that captivates me. I could listen to her talk forever.

So what? None of this impresses me in the slightest. Until I got Analog Lab a couple of years ago, I had never heard of Buchla, either the man or the company. It/he are little more than a footnote in synth history, which doesn't interest me anyway. I like to look forward, not back.

That's exactly what it sounds like to me. Was the music any good? You still haven't said and that was kind of my point - a concert should be about music, not about the person or the equipment or the place or the history associated with any of it.

Here you demonstrate only your own ignorance. Buchla invented the voltage-controlled synthesizer before Moog did, and he invented the sequencer.

Nobody cares whether things impress you or not.

The concert was breathtaking.

Was the music any good? You still haven't said

And here you demonstrate intentional boneheadedness.

Yo, Worzel Vangelis! You do know i am one of the biggest NIN fans on the planet, right?



I am moving on to real music topics before I open up a new can of whoop and get banned ..

[vurt]

why does your fandom of nin have any bearing on them being an example of synth music?

[vurt]

ps: when you say "new can of whoop" im sorry, i must have missed the first one
