Amazing Klaus Schulze performance

[balma]

This video deserved a thread. One of the most brilliant integrations of old and new tools for electronica performance I ever watched on Youtube.

ENJOY!:

Great music!
Thanks Balma.

Reminds me of some of his Dark Side of the Moog stuff with Pete Namlook.

Oh yes. I have that DVD. Great show..He loves he's 2 Minimoogs and the JD 800. And then a wall of Quasimidi driving sequences and percussion

Pretty neat! I like the office chair he's sitting in.

He's also got an E-mu E4K like mine.
Speaking of integrating new and old instruments, I also like Jean-Michel Jarre's 2007 re-recording of 'Oxygène' DVD.

I don't want to offend anyones tastes, but... if this were not "klaus schulze" and you didn't have a video to show all the gear would you be that impressed by this?
It sounds like a bad preset demo track from a groovebox to me.

Considering the musical knowledge that you have exposed in your posts , I would normally skip this but it seems that you are making me a question, or is a question made to anyone in this forum?

if this sounds like a bad preset demo track to you, seriously, would you amuse our ears with your music, sir? you must be quite an astonishing musician! So please...


NOTE TO MYSELF: f**k man, it seems like the demo tracks of grooveboxes have improved a lot these years where the h**l I've been??????, I must get that roland MC 909 again...

I gotta agree w/ the naysayers here - the viddy was quite tame and what he did there has been done 10000x times already. Ironically, the post-80s Tangerine Dream everyone loves to diss sounded A LOT like this around 1997. (Oasis anyone??)

As much as I admire Schultze for his 'getting in the game early' status, most of his music leaves me cold. I liked Cyborg and X for their time - but today he simply doesn't have anything much to offer except to the New-Age Birkenstock crowd.

I wonder how much people does still playing in this way, realtime with multiple devices, surrounded by synths that are not just for sexy looking for for real hand performance. They are less and less everyday, and he stills having a strong interaction with his gear.

Man, it's very hard to keep a growing curve of innovation during such a long time, so it's normal to expect from these Senior musicians a classic performance. IMO those arpeggios changing scales on progressive ways are a fantastic trip.

Love the video & music.

+1 for Klaus.
