mettelus Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 (edited) "Keyboards" have evolved so much over time, so I see it more as an tactile input vehicle. I personally have associated "keyboard" with "synth," but the sound you get out of a MIDI input these days does not need to be a synth at all. For the OP, what are you considering a "keyboard?" I also tend to associate keyboards with electronics, so a piano is always a piano for me. I came across an interesting Russian pianist (Gamazda), and she has covers of just about everything and is apparently supported very well from online performances/chatting via patreon. I noticed that she seems to play a different piano for every video too (sort of odd), so I am wondering where they all come from, but then again, her $100/month patreons are sold out, so pianos might be consumables to her.

Starship Krupa Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 On 11/1/2022 at 7:52 PM, mettelus said: Boston’s beginnings go back to 1969 and a band headed by guitarist Barry Goudreau called Mother’s Milk. Vocalist Brad Delp and drummer Jim Masdea were joined by a recent MIT graduate, Tom Scholz on keyboards Whoa, this really reduces my contempt for the song "Rock 'n' Roll Band." I always took it as them making a claim to having paid dues that they never actually paid. Which it probably is, but still, knowing that there was an actual band before Boston with some of the same personnel makes it seem different.

I never knew quite what they thought they were saying with this, but it always seemed a bit childish and closed-minded to me. That was supposedly a dig at a review of their first album that described the sound as having a "great use of synthesizers," mistaking Brian May's layered guitar sounds for synths. They wanted credit for coming up with something different. They didn't much care for the sounds that the synthesizers of the day were capable of. As for the "rock music with or without keyboards?"

Grem Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 I didn't think computers were used in music ar all at this time. I mean mainstream stuff. I realize as long ago as the 50's I believe some type of experimental music using what was called computers was being put out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
