bjornpdx Posted January 16, 2024 Share Posted January 16, 2024 (edited) 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. Thanks to www.classicalarchives.com/midi -Bjorn Thanks for listening/commenting Edited January 16, 2024 by bjornpdx Add credit 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjornpdx Posted January 17, 2024 Author Share Posted January 17, 2024 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutrageProductions Posted January 17, 2024 Share Posted January 17, 2024 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjornpdx Posted January 21, 2024 Author Share Posted January 21, 2024 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. -Bjorn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve@baselines.com Posted January 26, 2024 Share Posted January 26, 2024 That lead synth sounds a little like a theremin. Very well put together. It made me think in places like Ruby Tuesday. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
