Hi All,
Just heard the music of Blade-runner again by Vangelis-the digitally remastered film-thought it was brilliant. Loved the synths which sounded very cool-yamaha CS 80 I believe. Plenty of reverb with very smooth reverb tails. Lovely smooth overall sound-I wonder, did they use any real tape-or Digital tape emulation? He caught the sense of the movie very well, and drove it in place where the was need. I am aware that Ian Boddy has had his tracks remastered, having it put onto 2 inch tape then back into computer sequencer for further work.
I use Logic Pro Studio sequencer with Native Instruments Kore 2 system. Very powerful arsenal as I am finding at the moment, and using it to compose my next EP. I want to achieve similar quality sound that Vangelis has got on the film. In my initial foray into film music, I have not yet got the perfect sound in the mix. Hopefully that will change with this setup that I am using…….Merry Christmas!
Speak soon-Paul
