Do you listen to synthesizers anymore?

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

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.jancivil wrote: Sat Dec 14, 2019 1:26 am One of the best guitar solos and it’s a KEYTAR

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!BONES wrote: Fri Dec 13, 2019 2:17 am 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.
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.RichieWitch wrote: Sat Dec 14, 2019 11:38 pmThis, and the comments that follow it just make me sad. Suzanne Ciani and Don Buchla were musical partners.

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.RichieWitch wrote: Sat Dec 14, 2019 11:38 pmThis, and the comments that follow it just make me sad. Suzanne Ciani and Don Buchla were musical partners.

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.The concert was breathtaking.

Here you demonstrate only your own ignorance. Buchla invented the voltage-controlled synthesizer before Moog did, and he invented the sequencer.BONES wrote: Sun Dec 15, 2019 2:24 am So what?

Nobody cares whether things impress you or not.
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 ..

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