If Debussy had a Moog

If Claude Debussy had a Moog.

Back in the early 70s Tomita did a version of Debussy's Reverie that I've always liked. Here's my version of Reverie in the Tomita style.

KSBand, Outrage Productions, Nigel    thanks for the comments  

Just to be clear,  I used midi files from  classicalarchives.com.  I replaced the intended piano vst with electronic genre sounds, trying to sound like something Tomita might have created.

Understood that it's not your arrangement, but the voicing is very innovative and unique.

I occasionally will use a commercial MIDI file and just experiment with the instrument voicings to investigate what is in my libraries. 

Fun & entertaining. 

Again... great interpretation.

OutragePro   thanks I appreciate the comment.  It took a bit of experimentation  to come up with something that I like.   Tomita used  whistle type sounds in the melody which doesn't seem like it should work, but it did and it gave him his unique signature.

That lead synth sounds a little like a theremin.  Very well put together.  It made me think in places like Ruby Tuesday.
