Also, "How To Destroy Angels". Well worth checking out.telecode wrote: ↑Sun Dec 15, 2019 6:08 pm"Vorzel....".. don't go there dude. Just let it slide.
Incidentally, Trent Reznor is a highly intelligent artist that still makes amazing music both under the banner of NIN as well as sountracks. You all need to check out the soundtrack to Gone Girl -- especially what they did for the death scene where Rosamund Pike kills the Neil Patrick Harris character. Once of the most innovative uses of modular synth combined with visual ever created IMNSHO!
Do you listen to synthesizers anymore?

Well said, I agree with you. I did a lot of pure electronic stuff, and put a ton of work into making things sound more organic. But, no matter what the synthesis method, no matter what sound, synths always sound like, well... synths. Nowadays, I find pure synthesizer music grating and claustrophobic to listen to, I need contrast. So yeah, I still use synths in my music, but they're just one colour in a rich and varied palette.AngelCityOutlaw wrote: ↑Mon Dec 16, 2019 1:35 am
I went through a phase of it in my early 20s, where I was really into electronic music.
Now, I mostly prefer listening to acoustic instruments; be they real or sampled. There're these human elements to "real instruments" unto themselves which synths will never be able to replicate.
The main thing with synths I find is that the most "interesting" sounds are the least-musical, but the most-musical ones are the least-interesting and cheesy-sounding.
Otoh, I love those 70s solo and string sounds, never get tired of them. Thanks, Tony Banks.

^^ Agreed!!
But.. no we are not done with topic!! I think the OP asked a totally valid question for KVR community. Does anyone still like to listen to full length releases that are like the old Vangelis or Larry Fast records. Sure there are listeners. If its' done well and has artistic focus. Will you get lots of traction with the chill*.* Spotify playlist crowds? Probably not. They prefer to zonk out and chill to "chill" crap. They probably won't sit there with head phones and focus on the music that much -- but who knows? I could be wrong. You will never know unless you try to pull it off!!
Don't forget the musical environment in which those artists released their ground breaking works. Abba and Boney M ruled the world and very few electronic niche artists like them.

then we stop the pot shots back and forth...I say this all the time, getting that one last shot in is a huge problem because it just reignites everything, everyone else thinks well I get my rebuttal now which is just another shot...that's all I'm asking, stop

Generally for a known instrument that exists acoustically I’d look for a sample library entry, but there have been instances where... let me give an example. Old Suitcase, a Reaktor patch showed up in Kore one day, works totally as an E Piano in the track but had this hardness and coldness which was perfect for the role. It kind of half erases the border.

im sorry hink, but the post above yours is a sly dig at ne, again, not sure why, all ive done here is suggest synth music and i did eye roll at him for a previous "stop the flaming" as he was the one adding the off topic attacks.
now accusing me of contacting jan, like he has the cerebral fortitude for me to need back up.
i have no desire to argue with him, it would be time better served arguing with jelly, id get better brain excercise, but if he keeps with the snideness, i will have to bring out the potato of doom.
