NIKKOLLECTIVE feat. The Pocket Queen | Keyscape Sessions
Музыка
A few months ago, we decided to test how well Keyscape works onstage in a large, live band setting and see how well it would hold up sonically with a lot of live instruments.
Since we are big fans of Nikko Ielasi - a killer up-and-coming player in LA, we knew that his funky group NikKollective would be ideal to come over and shoot a smokin' live version of their song “A Quest 4 Pocket” from their new album, “NikKollective Vol.2"
They are soooo TIGHT and we had an absolute blast! :-)
And BTW… if you haven’t seen The Pocket Queen’s videos, check her out… she is amazing!
KEYSCAPE PATCHES USED:
00:06 Rhodes - LA Custom Old Sampler
00:16 Duo - LA Piano + LA Rhodes
01:24 Rhodes - Classic Amp Stereo Phaser
02:23 LA Custom C7 - Bright
04:22 Rhodes - LA Custom (w/Phaser ON)
Nikko is triggering his Keyscape Laptop from a Roland A88 MIDI controller.
Jordan is triggering his Keyscape Laptop from a Sequential REV2 keyboard.
Patch changing on the fly done with the square MIDI Fighter Twisters.
All audio is coming from laptops.

Deep Chills,Over The Top Thrills! I am so inspired with your music(that cleanses my soul) and your determination to move forward,up and beyond your (small) setback;i say small because of an apparent "Blessing-In-Disguise" moment in your life that has surely moved you into an upper league of the spiritual kind that is electrifying to say the least. I believe greater things are coming your way. A selfless move on your part as all of you together create a deep,rich soul experience and where the chills are created. I am sure to keep my eye and ear on all of you and hope that one day you will be able to have a concert in the Portland,Oregon area. Thank-You, All Of You for Manifesting for all of us. L.L.

A concert like this would be great ; Basses = Trilian Drums = RMX Keyboards = Keyscape Synthesizers = Omnisphere It's just an idea.Thanks NikKollective and Pocket Queen.

Indeed, after watching the realistic bass sounds of Trillian I got the same idea...although I did appreciate the fresheness and groove of such an energetic live session. Anyway, I would be amazed at watching the same piece played out of Spectrasonics marvellous samples!
My God when you've got the Pocket Queen and a solid bass player your headed no where but up I love this jam!
The mix is so amazing ... Huge respect to the sounds engineers here !

Bro. Nikko, Jordan, TPQ, Ariza and Joe in the same rhythm section is ILLEGAL
POCKET QUEEN... I LOVE YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOW LOVELY SENSITIVE DRUMMER
Love this. These young people are the future. In this current time of negativity, disease, and racial tension. I believe THIS right hear figuratively is God's real plan and intention. Watch and listen to these babies( I'm almost 65) Black, White, Female, diverse cultures and nationalities, I believe the keyboardist, Nikko is Italian, "working" , " playing" together. Young sister on drums calls herself " The Pocket Queen, played a Beyonce. Recognize some o the other musicians too from Berkely.
Did you seriously just record one song? Where is the rest! I NEED MORE!

It's completely a different level when great musicians get together to play a great song by Nikko. Having pocket queen in the mix was fantastic. She's simply and classically a great drummer! A++++ for this masterpiece!

What a discovery!
When you have Taylor on the drums, nothing can go wrong. She never plays anything just to show off, her chops go so much deeper than that.
That girl is killin on drums!
Keyscape have been on my mind from day one i think now is the time to make is come to my laptop.
Bass guitar is on point. As is every other musician to be fair 😁
Just wonderful.
This is what called Jamin 😍 my soul is overwhelming 😘 hallelujah for now 🙌🙏👌
Good god how good is the Pocket Queen? Will we EVER know? Stunning!

Every musician in this video is brilliant, but man... DAT BASS!!!
1:13 very sick ahah so gooood ! i love the Nikkollective and The Pocket Queen
I love this keyboard-heavy ... funky ... great composition ... the horns ... the bass ... the tight and simultaneously flexible drumming ... Well, I just love *all* of it! The initial piano riff somehow reminds me of Gentle Giant.
I'm glad to see the pocket queen do her thing!!! Hope to see more of her!! ☺
Great Bass player👍🏻
