Vangelis did write the perfect movie score. It encapsulates the dystopian environmental aesthetics and mood. When I say it's perfect, it's because it is.
i was telling a friend earlier tonight how i felt about Vengelis score, its a flawless creating that transports the audience to a dystopian environment that makes you not only feel it, but smell it, and listen to it. The background Ambient urban sounds, people, cars, etc then Vangelis creates what I'm my firm die hard film score lover understands, Vangelis created the perfect confluence of all that Phillip K Dick wrote. Vangelis clearly read the book and probably others to understand the dystopian aesthetic PK Dick wrote. And you are paying the highest tribute to its flawless creation. Thank you for sharing your rendition. Im in instant follower of your sound. What's next? Chariots of Fire ? @@TaurusTarkus
Thanks! My daughter lives up around Hamilton Heights. There are some great music stores around your area. There was one I used to order from that had a warehouse in Brooklyn that I once visited to return some things, and now I'm wondering if they have closed. I can't remember the name.
Thanks for your comments! Chariots of Fire was my first exposure to Vangelis, and I used to go to sleep to the album and love it deeply. Five Circles was my first Vangelis cover, and I have always been curious why it is my least popular Vangelis cover when I love the music so much. I guess I have not done Chariots of Fire partly because it is so iconic and perfect, and I think it may be hard to get close to that. It's been covered by so many, and they are never half as good. There also is a video of Vangelis playing it; ...some of what I try to do is give people the opportunity to see some of these great works being performed. Do you think I should do it?
Many thanks for your comments! I don't know if I could pick my favorite from this soundtrack, but this piece hits me in a powerful way that the others do not, especially during the Zhora scene.
Many thanks! I used one of your templates on the lead sound! Be sure to watch the companion "Making of a Cover" video, where I again mention your brilliant work.
@@TaurusTarkus Right on... I attempted that Blues Lead sound as well, and got fairly close,.. but yours sounds really excellent and super emotive!... look forward to hearing your insights in "making of" video!
Such a beautiful cover. So close to the original, yet distinct in its rendition. Thank you for a beautiful rendition of one of the most soothing and moving works of art ever created. I miss Vangelis but works such as these help salve the wound. Thank you.
Thanks for your comments! I also noticed that I've never seen an attempt at covering it... and now I know why. It took a lot of time, but it is truly worth the effort.
Well I'm absolutely astounded. As others have noticed, you've replicated Vangelis' sounds so perfectly. That's something I've been trying to do for years and never got anywhere near as to what you have achieved. Full marks to you.
Absolutely Beautiful. Amazing song. Thank you for this. It upsets me how good this is. Brings tears to my eyes. All those moments are not lost because of you.
Thanks so much for your comments! As you are into photography, do you have any suggestions regarding the filming of my videos? I'm always trying to get the best angle, and I'm frequently unsure of what F stop I should be on, etc... Thanks!
@@TaurusTarkus Put a filter over a backlight (blue or orange) F stop 4.0 - try that first because only you and your hands should be in focus. You can start our with a bit of fog in the room then let it dissipate and you will become more in focus. Use some snoot's on a couple lights just to light up a specific area you want in your scene.
@@TaurusTarkus Agreed. Why not make your studio reflect the same look/feel of the movie. Edits that go closer to your hand. Etc Fade to some scenes in the movie.
We had a wonderful trip to Japan several months ago, which you can follow in my travel video. I loved visiting Five G Music Technology in Tokyo and the music museums in Hamamatsu.
Hi Tarus, as always true, absolute perfection, and grace. I used to put this on at night, and simultaneously played a separate CD with rain along with candle light, incense and a profound sense of peace. It transports us to a realm of peace and tranquility that is ethereal. I am a die hard Blade Runner fan, and Vangelis as well. Pretty sure this is the best soundtrack Vangelis ever did. There's a sadness yet soothing feeling woven into the fabric of this composition. What's a bit distressing is there are only 1.8 K subscribers. No words can convey how much I appreciate you're gift to us with keeping this compelling and timeless art alive. When an artist creates a work of art, and gifts it to you, then it become Priceless. Thank you so much for keeping this art alive! I love every video on your channel! You really are so awesome and gracious!
Thank you so much for the most beautiful comments! When trying to describe music, words tend to fail us, but you do a wonderful job of capturing what we love about this music: (e.g., There's a sadness yet soothing feeling woven into the fabric of this composition.) I greatly appreciate your encouragement.
Thanks so much! I remember a philosophy professor talking about how we can sit at the feet of the masters and have a conversation with them when we read and analyze their writings. I had that feeling at times as I analyzed and worked on this. For example, when you slow some of the fast runs way down, you can hear a slight difference in speed on a few notes which strongly suggested which fingerings he must have used. When I noticed that, I changed my fingering!... and felt like I was interacting with the great man.
Thanks so much for your comments! Comments like yours really motivate me when the work gets tedious. This particular piece took longer than anything else I've done, and I love hearing when someone like you appreciates it.
I been listening to vangelis and blade runner ost for years, millions of times, at least 3 or 4 times each day as a way of meditation, and you absolutely captured the Vangelis vibes and emotions, i can see it in your face how it moves you, you brought the frequency from the eter down to the mortal plane for us to listen. Thank you
Thank you for your beautiful words! Comments like yours are especially motivating when the work gets tedious. You may be the only person who has listened to Blade Runner Blues more than me... and so your comments mean all the more, knowing that you hear the details.
@@emanuel81111 Thanks a lot! The best we can do is to watch my Vangelis playlist, which starts with the tracks I've done from Blade Runner in order. I hope to add to it eventually: ua-cam.com/play/PLKEwScAT610GHgpJL-4B2oRz4dLp3idjK.html
Thanks so much for sharing the beautiful memory! I've tried to share my favorite music with my Mom, who would listen patiently. But the only music love that we share is musicals. I have great memories of seeing many shows with her.
Thanks! It was reported that Vangelis used a modified Fender Rhodes, and I think the main thing was the addition of a 10-band graphic equalizer, which he used to craft the softer, warmer sound. So that's what I go for.
@AufgussMaster-cv6vu Leo Fender seemed to make the best! Have you ever compared his G&L line to Fender? I have a Yamaha bass that you can see in Hoedown and Kashmir. I sometimes think of getting a Strat but always second guessing which of the many models to get.
Thanks! I sometimes wonder if UA-cam puts videos in front of random people, rather than targeting people who might be fans. I've also noticed that I 'like' more videos now that I know how much work can be involved. It's made me more thoughtful.
I’ve already commented about a month ago….just had to say that the way you have programmed those sounds and also to play that,the timing etc….really good show!!!
This cover took forever, and I kept going because of the hope that people like you would appreciate the details. So thanks very much for your comments!
Without a doubt the best cover of this emotive piece I've ever heard...you have studied the nuances of his performance well and captured the atmosphere and tonal ambiance of the composition eloquently.
Thanks for your wonderful comments! Most people who attempt anything with this piece simply play "in the style of"... and after all the time involved in analyzing the actual notes and phrases, now I know why! It was a mountain to climb, but the piece is so worth the effort.
Thanks for saying so! I'm delighted that you are playing it with a system that can properly handle the bass. I should upgrade my computer speakers to something better. I don't use them for mixing, but I do tend to watch UA-cam on the computer. The bass is a recreation of the CS-80 bass, which is what I think Vangelis used on this. I talk about the sounds in "Programming BRB Making of a Cover #4."
Everyone has already described better than I can how absolutely marvelous this is, but I felt compelled to leave a comment if for no other reason than to add to the chorus of praise. Thank you for this. It's perfection.
I deeply appreciate comments like yours which, more than anything else, keep me motivated and also greatly help to get UA-cam to show this to more people!
Thanks for your comments! I used to cover more by Emerson, but now have more by Vangelis. I love them both and the Vangelis covers are so much more popular.
I do not. So L.A. 2019 is a Blade Runner Blues patch? Dang; I'm sorry I missed that. It could have been helpful. I probably should invest in it at some point. I don't tend to use the software instruments for performances, but GX-80 has been helpful for research and for developing patches.
Thanks for the kind comments! When I recorded this, I had just set up the camera and recording stuff and was really just intending to practice (it's a lot to remember). I try to put emotion into each beautiful phrase and afterward was a little annoyed by some of the uninhibited faces I was making. But it truly is an uninhibited performance... more like when I am alone, and so I thought I would go with it instead of trying to look cool. :)
@@TaurusTarkus I think it just shows how much you put in each and every piece of music you put out for us to enjoy. I was truly in awe because, like you state, it's so much to remember and the fact that you do it from memory makes me appreciate it even more.
I love when these videos get to the right people! The Vangelis covers always take longer than I anticipate, but this one was especially involved. My two most popular videos (Memories of Green and Tears in Rain) actually took the least time, and End Titles and this took the most.
@@TaurusTarkus My first gift of the new year as a Vangelis fan was your channel. Your channel is great. Thank you for these beautiful videos. Happy new year to you and your family. Cheers!
Fabulous rendition..you have stayed true to the maestro's performance with all the subtle nuances and sonic inflections from his original score. Wonderful achievement....
I'm not sure what pushes more to the eternity this whole feeling if the soundtrack by Vangelis or the movie by Ridley Scott. Either way bravo for your amazing cover.
Thanks for your comments! You may enjoy my "Making Of" video about the sounds. You need at least four sounds, but I have the Montage split so that I can do both the bass and electric piano there. And then, as I discuss in "Sounds of Blade Runner," Vangelis did a lot of layering with strings during this period, which I try to replicate by using multiple instruments via MIDI.
❤❤Thumbs down??? Unbelievable. Those people don't understand anything about Vangelis his music. Keep on making them. Greetings Dirk Belgium @@TaurusTarkus
@@dirklyssens8936 Yes! With so much to watch, I wonder why people bother to watch videos of music that they don't like? ...and then go on to rate it, as if they are watching Netflix.
Translation result Да; Я думаю, что это идеальная музыка для дождливого дня, который был у нас вчера. Сегодня ощущение первого дня весны. Я живу примерно в 90 минутах езды от Нью-Йорка. Где вы живете? Спасибо за ваши Коментарии!
460 / 5,000 Translation results Translation result Чайковский, пожалуй, мой любимый классический композитор. Когда я рос, я любил играть на валторне прекрасную тему «Лебединое озеро» из «Лебединого озера». Моя дочь (из видеоклипа Рэйчел) выступала в «Щелкунчике» как минимум пятнадцать раз, так что я видел его как минимум столько же раз.

Thank you very much! I really wish he had seen some of my videos. The impression I have is that he did not really go online. I appreciate your comments.
Playing 3 keyboards at the same time and it still sounds good I love the jazzy feel to it, even though there were some timings that were not 1:1 to the original song, I feel that is what makes this piece feel more original, another reason I love this cover is that the synth is a lot punchier than the smoother one in the film, feels like a 90s video game soundtrack
this is insanely difficult and incredible work. I have no idea how you found the right sound for any of the layers but like you said, especially the lead keyboards. The cover is uncanny. Vangelis would have been impressed
Thanks so much for your comments! Yes; it took a lot of work. You may enjoy my "Programming Blade Runner Blues: Making of a Cover #4" video where I talk about the struggle to get the sounds. ua-cam.com/video/G0UPTgsLBzU/v-deo.html
Thank you very much my friend! As I said in the companion video: I probably should have dedicated it to you. Without your help, I might still be trying to figure out that patch!
Thanks! You can hear the Hydra pads well on the Making Of video. There's some on this video too, but you hear more of the VC-340 here. You could do a whole video with just your string machine!
Amazing, i was expecting multiple videos, can’t believe you can play it all together. This music is heavenly- imagine never having heard this? Imagine how fortunate we are to be alive and hear such beauty.
Thanks so much for your comments! That's an excellent perspective regarding how fortunate we are to have been able to hear, appreciate and enjoy this music. We are truly lucky to live in a time contemporary to Vangelis and so many other great musicians. I see from your channel that you recognize the truth of non-duality, which is an insight that most people sadly miss. I'm a fan of Sam Harris, who focuses a lot on this insight in his writings, talks, and meditation app. As I say in the "Making of video," the above video is not 100% live. As you can see, the lead and Fender Rhodes parts are, but some of the bass and strings are not. You can see a demo of 100% live along with the discussion: ua-cam.com/video/G0UPTgsLBzU/v-deo.html
@@TaurusTarkus Well, substantially live then! I actually rewatched Blade Runner last night - amazing movie, and can there be another one that is more intertwined with the score, where another score is simply unimaginable? I can't think of one. How amazing that music is often a gateway to the non-dual timeless world - and this is genuinely one of the best examples of it. Thanks for taking the time to make the video.
Thanks for your comments. I totally agree about the Blade Runner soundtrack! I just found an excellent video, which you may have seen before: The Danish National Symphony doing a Blade Runner Suite: ua-cam.com/video/hMd5_DcLNdE/v-deo.html
Thanks! I spent a lot of time trying to get the feel of his beautiful lines, so that I could do them justice. Vangelis used the volume pedal a lot, so I was really riding that for most of it. He had a wonderful way of putting so much feeling into each phrase.
"“I've seen things you people wouldn't believe ... .
Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.
I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate.

I do not. So L.A. 2019 is a Blade Runner Blues patch? Dang; I'm sorry I missed that. It could have been helpful. I probably should invest in it at some point. I don't tend to use the software instruments for performances, but GX-80 has been helpful for research and for developing patches.
wow this is actually perfect
Thanks so much! It took a lot of time to get the little details, and I'm glad there are people like you who notice.
@ I’ve heard covers but yours, I thought the movie was playing! Blade Runner OST is a huge part of the movies identity. Unbelievable job 😊
@@fooltube9999 Thanks for your comments! This was really a labor of love, and I'm very happy when people enjoy this music like I do.
Oh Wow
perfect cover . and ive seen a few, .................... but this ! Wonderful
Thank so much for your comments! I appreciate it.
Stunning
Thanks!
This is so underrated, what a talent!!
Thanks so much! Comments like yours are the best way to get UA-cam to share it with more people, so I appreciate your comments.
Awesome playing, you nailed its atmosphere and sound.
Thanks so much for your comments!
So much emotion put into that song. I can almost taste it.Beautifully played.
Thanks for the kind comments! When I recorded this, I had just set up the camera and recording stuff and was really just intending to practice (it's a lot to remember). I try to put emotion into each beautiful phrase and afterward was a little annoyed by some of the uninhibited faces I was making. But it truly is an uninhibited performance... more like when I am alone, and so I thought I would go with it instead of trying to look cool. :)
@@TaurusTarkus I think it just shows how much you put in each and every piece of music you put out for us to enjoy. I was truly in awe because, like you state, it's so much to remember and the fact that you do it from memory makes me appreciate it even more.
I love when these videos get to the right people! The Vangelis covers always take longer than I anticipate, but this one was especially involved. My two most popular videos (Memories of Green and Tears in Rain) actually took the least time, and End Titles and this took the most.
Wonderful performance, it sounds as close as possible to the original! Really enjoyed watching you play this timeless peace of music masterpiece.
Many thanks for your comments!
Beautiful. Enjoy watching you play this masterpiece.
Thank you! I'm glad that this video is finding people like you who get it.
Wonderful!
Thanks!
Fantastic!!
Many thanks! Happy New Year.
@@TaurusTarkus My first gift of the new year as a Vangelis fan was your channel. Your channel is great. Thank you for these beautiful videos. Happy new year to you and your family. Cheers!
@@emrehozturk Thanks so much for your kind words! Your comments mean a lot and also help to get these videos to more people.
Blade Runner is my all-time favorite movie, and you did a spectacular job on playing your cover on Blade Runner Blues.
Thank you so much for your comments!
Grandmaster, bravo!!! this is cover so true-like original
Many thanks for your comments!
I am speechless. This is a masterpiece. Perfect improvisation.
Many thanks for your kind comments! It's probably the video that I'm most happy with.
Absolutely brilliant rendition!
Thanks for your comment!
Fabulous rendition..you have stayed true to the maestro's performance with all the subtle nuances and sonic inflections from his original score. Wonderful achievement....
Thanks for your comments! They mean a lot to me.
Awesome.
Thanks!
Mesmerizing!
Many thanks! I get into a zone with this one too.
A pleasure to hear this interpretation, congratulations.
Thank you for your comments!

Thank you so much!
This Has To Be The Coolest Keyboard Cover IV Seen On UA-cam Iv Seen In a Long Time
Many thanks!
I'm not sure what pushes more to the eternity this whole feeling if the soundtrack by Vangelis or the movie by Ridley Scott. Either way bravo for your amazing cover.
Thanks! As amazing as the whole film is, I think the single most brilliant 'piece of the whole' is the otherworldly score.
Just amazing ! I had no idea that you actually need three keyboards for this.
You have a great feel.
Thanks for your comments! You may enjoy my "Making Of" video about the sounds. You need at least four sounds, but I have the Montage split so that I can do both the bass and electric piano there. And then, as I discuss in "Sounds of Blade Runner," Vangelis did a lot of layering with strings during this period, which I try to replicate by using multiple instruments via MIDI.
I tend to be too stunned for words when it comes to Blues. And your work is no different. I admire the passion you have while playing.
Thanks so much for your comments! (I enjoyed your video The Midnight - Explorers.)
Awesome 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks so much!
AWESOME!!!!!!!!
Thanks so much!
Simply amazing. Beautiful talent and disipline
Thank you so much for your beautiful comments!
Just perfect ♥

Just two words... Wow Wow
Thank you, Thank you!
Que espetáculo!!!
Muito obrigado! ¡Muchas gracias!
you're so good, this cover is so identical if not perfect, thanks for uploading this piece of art, keep it up 🙏
Thank you so much for your kind comments and encouragement!
Still loving it 😍 been trying parts on a MODX 8+ and giving me an appreciation on How good your are at this, one of my favorite movie songs!
Thanks! It "just" takes time.
¡Simplemente … no tengo palabras para calificar una de las más bellas obras del Dios de la música, en toda la extensión de la palabra,😮!
¡Muchas gracias por tus amables comentarios! A mí también me encanta esta música.
Fantastic
Thanks!
Incredible! 10/10, nailed it
Thanks for your comments!
So good it made me cry......................😢
Thanks so much! My favorite comments involve goosebumps and tears.
❤❤❤Just WOW. Goosebumps and tears. You are a Genius. Vangelis 2.0 greetings Dirk Belgium
Thank you so much for your wonderful comments! They made my day... especially after this video got a thumbs down from someone this morning.
❤❤Thumbs down??? Unbelievable. Those people don't understand anything about Vangelis his music. Keep on making them. Greetings Dirk Belgium @@TaurusTarkus
@@dirklyssens8936 Yes! With so much to watch, I wonder why people bother to watch videos of music that they don't like? ...and then go on to rate it, as if they are watching Netflix.
@@TaurusTarkus you are damn right greetings Dirk Belgium
Superb!
Many thanks!
Perfection
Thanks so much!
Incredible job sir! Great channel for Vangelis fans
Thank you very much!
Wooooowwwww!!!! ❤❤❤
Thanks so much!
Этот блюз напоминае весеннюю капель, а звуки аккордеона придают лирическую мягкость звучанию. Великолепное сочинение к началу весны. Спасибо.

Да; Я думаю, что это идеальная музыка для дождливого дня, который был у нас вчера. Сегодня ощущение первого дня весны. Я живу примерно в 90 минутах езды от Нью-Йорка. Где вы живете? Спасибо за ваши Коментарии!

Чайковский, пожалуй, мой любимый классический композитор. Когда я рос, я любил играть на валторне прекрасную тему «Лебединое озеро» из «Лебединого озера». Моя дочь (из видеоклипа Рэйчел) выступала в «Щелкунчике» как минимум пятнадцать раз, так что я видел его как минимум столько же раз. Мне нравится версия «Ромео и Джульетты» из «Черной луны» Эмерсона, Лейка и Палмера. Я также видел Переворот 1812 года в исполнении настоящих пушек!
Brilliant!
Many thanks!
Vangelis would love this i guess.....fantastic feeling and skill of yours. Thank you for sharing ! 🙂👋🙏
Thank you very much! I really wish he had seen some of my videos. The impression I have is that he did not really go online. I appreciate your comments.
Playing 3 keyboards at the same time and it still sounds good
I love the jazzy feel to it, even though there were some timings that were not 1:1 to the original song, I feel that is what makes this piece feel more original, another reason I love this cover is that the synth is a lot punchier than the smoother one in the film, feels like a 90s video game soundtrack
Thanks so much for your comments!
this is insanely difficult and incredible work. I have no idea how you found the right sound for any of the layers but like you said, especially the lead keyboards. The cover is uncanny. Vangelis would have been impressed
Thanks so much for your comments! Yes; it took a lot of work. You may enjoy my "Programming Blade Runner Blues: Making of a Cover #4" video where I talk about the struggle to get the sounds. ua-cam.com/video/G0UPTgsLBzU/v-deo.html
Bravissimo! 👏👏👏
Grazie molto!
wonderful wonderful wonderful!
Thank you very much my friend! As I said in the companion video: I probably should have dedicated it to you. Without your help, I might still be trying to figure out that patch!
@@TaurusTarkus your eye for detail is impressive - including the way you add those bass notes on top of the Rhodes. Love the pads from the Hydra.
Thanks! You can hear the Hydra pads well on the Making Of video. There's some on this video too, but you hear more of the VC-340 here. You could do a whole video with just your string machine!
Amazing, i was expecting multiple videos, can’t believe you can play it all together. This music is heavenly- imagine never having heard this? Imagine how fortunate we are to be alive and hear such beauty.
Thanks so much for your comments! That's an excellent perspective regarding how fortunate we are to have been able to hear, appreciate and enjoy this music. We are truly lucky to live in a time contemporary to Vangelis and so many other great musicians. I see from your channel that you recognize the truth of non-duality, which is an insight that most people sadly miss. I'm a fan of Sam Harris, who focuses a lot on this insight in his writings, talks, and meditation app. As I say in the "Making of video," the above video is not 100% live. As you can see, the lead and Fender Rhodes parts are, but some of the bass and strings are not. You can see a demo of 100% live along with the discussion: ua-cam.com/video/G0UPTgsLBzU/v-deo.html
@@TaurusTarkus Well, substantially live then! I actually rewatched Blade Runner last night - amazing movie, and can there be another one that is more intertwined with the score, where another score is simply unimaginable? I can't think of one. How amazing that music is often a gateway to the non-dual timeless world - and this is genuinely one of the best examples of it. Thanks for taking the time to make the video.
Thanks for your comments. I totally agree about the Blade Runner soundtrack! I just found an excellent video, which you may have seen before: The Danish National Symphony doing a Blade Runner Suite: ua-cam.com/video/hMd5_DcLNdE/v-deo.html
Just Devine! Amazing! Holy God
Thanks so much for your comments! I hope you enjoy my other Vangelis covers as well.
played yours and the original back to back! spot on! :)
Thanks! I spent a lot of time trying to get the feel of his beautiful lines, so that I could do them justice. Vangelis used the volume pedal a lot, so I was really riding that for most of it. He had a wonderful way of putting so much feeling into each phrase.
