"Music is the best"

Great hymn to peace and future with noble classical roots. A remarkable and trail-blazing example of early virtual orchestration with synthesisers.

Top notch stuff :+1:

Impeccable performance! :rofl: :rofl:

People being late to your bands rehearsal, who already started playing with their inear monitoring can relate.

This is… very surprising, to say the least. :alien:

I know the guy and I’ve seen some of his entertaining videos in the past, also as training sessions for listening to - say - not exactly RP English dialects.

As a clever and unusual music technologist he certainly has his say, but as a musician/songwriter for Eurovision… well…

Is see there is still some space to fill up all 16 MIDI channels :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:.

I think this vid ticks all the boxes. Synths, nerdy, nostalga, hacks (WS2812B led strip USB powered controlled? on two Korg Kronos).

Just a few hours to Equinox(e)!

From Wikipedia:

Jarre stated that although his previous album Oxygène was created without a concept in mind, Equinoxe was intended to represent a day in the life of a person, from waking up in the morning to sleeping at night.

I know it’s not exactly the correct place to place it here, but I didn’t want to create a knew main topic. It’s only a podcast…

Although Daphne’s not anymore name patron of the newest zynthian development, there is quite an interesting podcast about her, published around February 2026 on “Sound on Sound”.

And there is also an older podcast with Sam Battle :wink:

I asked AI (bandm8.com) to create a track from something I gave it… It gets funnier as it goes! It is like the first band practice of some 13 year olds!

Here’s another AI, Tilly Norwood, and her plea to be taken seriously. I really like it, but I also liked Rebecca Black’s Friday:

Nooice! :wink: So much nostalgia for that alluring LP cover with blue conceptual graphics, that an older friend showed me once, not without a certain degree of affectuous condescendence, before stunning my young ears with a bounty of otherwordly sounds.

I dunno if bell ringing counts as music, but I know this will appeal to at least one Quasimodo in here….
