Totally awesome... the Ethnic ItaloDisco. The new Moon Deep Ray Forest is born ! A great thanks for you because you have no limit and it's a chance for you but also for us, because you made us discover tips, musics and you grow up our creativity !!! Thanks a lot Espen !
Enigma sounding :) I so love that i can hear such great synths still. Beautiful gear! Lovely insight and talent to show off vintage kit doing its thing.
These first chords are enough for me to click thumbs up to this video! Simple but very nice. Bravo, Espen! Thanks for sharing such a beautiful content! You always rocks and makes my day/evening/night/morning =) P.S. Im really wish good luck your artists from Norway on Eurovision which I hear just right now on TV! More than this - I gave them my voice =) Very cool song and performance! P.S.S. Ooh, that Korg Mono/Poly on the background...I hope someday you will made something beautiful with it too =)
Funny moment: I was YouTubing for Tangerine Dream synth and this video came up. I was like.. Hmm, this video reminds me a lot of Espen Kraft. Didn't notice it was actually Espen until the end when I scrolled down for comments. I learned a lot by how you create layers from watching this video. Thanks Espen.
Very nice Espen I noticed the same sample sound Christopher Franke used on his Klemania 1993 library album and a sound Tangerine Dream used on Optical Race 1988 track Midnight Trail. 🙂👍👌
Very Tangerine dream Espin. My brothers band had a TOM then they got a HR16 which which I loved at the time and I got one a bit later. Anyway they used the TOM as a sequencer with a DX9 for bass and bells. All the best. 🎹👍
Superb I can picture the native American Indians dancing, spreading their ancient wisdom before the land was invaded and beliefs lay shattered on the ground.
Hey there, it's the first time i hear ethnic influences in your music..it also gives me a Deep Forest vibe, as Gemlya wrote above...Very nice track, hookin' chord progression, but what i like most, is this synth bass, this 80's solid, tight, wonderful Italo bass, that has been the staple of your music..Well Done my friend...!!!
Thanks Patrick! I've done much like this through the years, but always form other clients and for theater and musicals. It's time I did more of this in this genre too.
I love that this video was about how to achieve an effect or atmosphere, and not just hyping a piece of gear. It was a good listen, as well. Thumbs up. P.S. - MIDI sync on iOS leaves much to be desired. I like how you can just chain thru on your vintage gear.
Always enjoy watching you work,Mr K.I noticed over the last year or so that sometimes you have a look that says 'if only i had another arm'.don't worry mate,what you do works just fine.I was a teen in the 80s and love all the retro synth stuff that going on.
After few seconds you've taken me back to Dance 2 Trance 1990s atmopheres. It's a mix between "Warrior" and "Power of American Natives", two mainstream tracks back in those days.
Loving those tribal sounds on the Emax. And this is a great track in general! I think I've heard those tribal sounds before on some Prince songs. Great stuff :).
That alpha-Juno pad...! I swear you are single-handedly responsible for the sharp rise in alpha-Juno prices over the last few years!!! :-) This track reminded me a bit of Secret Service's 'Destiny of Love'. That was great.
so cool!! i've been into EMAX samples myself lately so it's nice to see you use the same congos and guitars.. :D also, nice labels/overlays, very helpful! because usually i have to squint to make out what synths are beeing used on stage, but not with your videos, they're honest like that!
A little bit of Deep Forest, a little bit of Sacred Spirit and a lot of you!! I love it! :)
Just awesome
Thanks! :)
that was so pro man, so amazing when a whole room is synced!
Nice, thanks! :)
Nice tune and good mix too.
Sweet, thanks! :)

Thanks again for your comment Xavier, I just make whatever I feel like and it's fun to inspire others by doing so. :)
It's very nice music frome the 80 !! Thanks for good job!!!
Thanks! :)
Great stuff Espen. Enjoyed the live performance. Thank you.
Awesome, thanks! :)
Man, that Roland bass really is killer.
Great. Some live drums would elevate the hell out of this . This is a nice birthday present Espen. Thank you.
My pleasure man! :)
Enigma sounding :) I so love that i can hear such great synths still. Beautiful gear! Lovely insight and talent to show off vintage kit doing its thing.
Cheers!
Your skill at using your tools and the overall musicality of it is inspiring.
Thanks for saying! :)
Love that sarangi string patch, used in countless tracks around the world. The last time i've used it was in 2006
Yeah, it's a "stock" sound, but it just fitted this track perfectly so I didn't bother making up something original.
Riktigt grym låt & video Espen! 👍😎
Tackar Jarkko! :)
Thanks! Awesome track
Many thanks! :)
Many thanx, mate. You always deliver a great performance! As Italian, I really appreciate your "vintage" music :)
Thanks for saying! :)
Very nicely done! I like this a lot, thank you for sharing.
My pleasure, thanks for commenting! :)
Very beautiful track. 👍👍👍
Thanks! :)
Yeah, very nice. :)
Highly satisfying to watch and hear.
Sweet, thanks! :)
Absolutely amazing performance and nice track :) it looks so easy when you do this, but it surely isnt!
Thanks! :)

Thanks again Vladimir, we did well among the peoples vote yesterday! ;-)
I have more than one video on my channel where I use the MonoPoly! :)
Oh, then I just should to looking for it more carefully)) I saw the Mono/Poly as a bass-synth, but I mean it`s lead role in the track =))

Many thanks Caleb!
fabulous!!!!
Thanks! 😃
How awesome was THAT??!!! Loved itttttttttttt!
Sweet man, thanks! :)
Awesome. Arpeggiators are the gateway to fun ;)
They are! Thanks! :)
Once again brilliant, Espen! And I love that you played it live. You never cease to amaze me my Norwegian keyboard guru.
Thanks Raymond! I appreciate you saying! :)
Great track
Thanks! :)
Awesome stuff. Living the synth dream!
Cheers!
Heh, was just looking for music in this genre and your video popped up. I'm already a subscriber, how'd I miss this one! :)
Cheers! :D
Very Tangerine dream Espin. My brothers band had a TOM then they got a HR16 which which I loved at the time and I got one a bit later. Anyway they used the TOM as a sequencer with a DX9 for bass and bells. All the best. 🎹👍
Thanks! Yeah, the TOM can easily be used as a sequencer due to it's excellent midi capabilities.
Excellent love it, grooving along while I write my code at work.
Sweet man, thanks for saying! :)
Superb
I can picture the native American Indians dancing, spreading their ancient wisdom before the land was invaded and beliefs lay shattered on the ground.
Cool man! :)
Brilliant!
Awesome, thanks! :)
OOPS! A BRILLIANT PERFORMANCE !!
Thanks! :)
Like optical race and canyon dreams together. Great job, like it!
Thanks! :)

Gratulerer med dagen!
Takker, det samme! :)
MIDI clock at it’s very best! Splendid track. Making it all work live can be quite the endevour. But you make it seem so effortless 😎
Thanks man! :)
Great sound. Changing the bass while holding the chords changes the musical context brilliantly, it's a "trick" used to great effect here.
Thanks for noticing! I use this quite a lot, it creates more impact once the bass starts to travel. :)
@@EspenKraft Likewise, changing the chords through a sequence while holding the bass steady has an equally nice effect, also well-demonstrated here.
Great Track!!
Thanks! :)
Well done. Love it. Nice equipment also. Lots of synths. 😍
Thanks! :)
Great track! And I love how this video was put together!! From b/w to pedal clips and all!!
Sweet! :)
And the cap! Perfect.
Cheers! :)
Thanks for this birthday present! I love it :-))).
Excellent, congrats on your day! :)
Just excellent I'd say
Thanks! :)
Very nice. Keep 'em coming.
I'll try, thanks! :)
Great job! As usual! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks again!:)
Absolutely amazing !!!!!
Thanks! :)
Brilliant. Thank you.
Thanks! :)
Espen playing pads. Insta-thumbs-up! Labels overlayed is a nice touch.
Sweet, thanks! :)
The floating labels were cool. You get to hear the result right off in the video, and can see what and how if that interests you.
Awesome
Thanks! :)
Love it awesome stuff as usual Espen!
Thanks Johnny! I appreciate your continued support! :)
Just found this, awesome work Espen. Great mix of earthy spiritual with synthey pop twist.
Thanks Thomas! :D
EXelente MUY BUENO Y LLEGA DE VERDAD
wow awesome - and nice to share the infos towards the end on what you used as gimmicks and lil helpers :)
Thanks! I often do that. ;-)
Freaking Brilliant!!!
Awesome, thanks! :)
Outstanding!
Sweet! :)
I love that this video was about how to achieve an effect or atmosphere, and not just hyping a piece of gear.
It was a good listen, as well. Thumbs up.

nice sounds... one is in RMB - Reality ... never heard it anywhere else til now...
3:04 and ok i am not the only one who noticed it :D

A working tail should suffice, can't say it's evolution to lose that tail.. ;- Thanks! :)
This is one of your best videos, God bless
Thanks!
graias por compartir tu conocimiento de la buena musica
Great song Espen! Well put together!
Many thanks man! :)
Reminds me a lot of all those amazing 80s 'new age' artists on Narada Equinox and Private Music labels. Would *LOVE* and entire album of this style.
I'd like to make more in this style so maybe... ;-)
Hypnotic!
Dreamy sounds! Love it!!
Sweet, thanks! :)
I love this! It makes me want to get a Novation Bass Station and a drum machine!
Awesome, thanks! :)
Just Love The Sounds In This Well Done
Thanks! :)

Cheers!
Oh neat he has both emaxes going. 👍👍👍

Sweet, thanks! :)
Un superbe travail !
Wonderful music! Nice job! Like it! :)
Thanks! :)
Magnificent💙
Cheers!
Nice work! I am definitely into the 80's synth sound
Thanks! :)
Fantastic.
Cheers man! :)
Another awesome track! Love the hat! Greetings from CLE..
Sweet! I hope to catch a game or two (on TV) soon.. ;-)
After few seconds you've taken me back to Dance 2 Trance 1990s atmopheres. It's a mix between "Warrior" and "Power of American Natives", two mainstream tracks back in those days.
Beautiful👍
Thanks! :)
Cool track, Espen
Thanks Henrik! :)
Loving those tribal sounds on the Emax. And this is a great track in general!
I think I've heard those tribal sounds before on some Prince songs. Great stuff :).
Thanks Xavier! Those sounds are heard before yes, they're "stock" Emax, but they sounded just right for this track as well :)
@@EspenKraft Proteus 3 has them all ;)
@@50Martinmarkus The Proteuses were great in their time and they still hold up for many types of sounds from the EMU libraries.
Love it, great sounding track.
Thanks! :)
i remember this type of music in older films, about '79 - '89
Excellent. Like Deep Forest
Cool, thanks! :)
Awesome work! Greetings from Mexico!
Many thanks! Greetings from Norway :)
nice dear Espen. Would love to have no 4/4 drumkit// i would love this in more new age/ambient version.. although very nice and deep
I have no other version available. Cheers
@@EspenKraft always nice work btw. keep it up!
Epsen ein sehr schöner Song ich Danke dir mach weiter so
Thanks Tommy! :)
Great sounds and rhythm Espen, hilsen fra naboe landet 👍😃

Great sounds, setup and performance 👍🏾 enjoyed it!
Fantastic, thanks! :)

Perfect soundtrack to a quiet, rainy afternoon in the suburbs. Quiet Zen-like. :)
Nice, thanks! :)
I'm listening the track in the suburbs and at the moment it is raining. 😊
so cool!! i've been into EMAX samples myself lately so it's nice to see you use the same congos and guitars.. :D also, nice labels/overlays, very helpful! because usually i have to squint to make out what synths are beeing used on stage, but not with your videos, they're honest like that!
Thanks! I have no secrets, don't believe in secrets so I'll just show what's going on ;-)
