    I wonder how she'd do with a Roli Seaboard, with vibrato & pitch-bend available on a per-note basis? I've seen some people playing those & making it sound like a string section in an orchestra, but with the soloist doing different stuff to the rest of them. On ordinary keyboards, you get a pitch-bend & a mod wheel but they're global - they bend or modulate *all* notes at once.

    Quincy Jones once said: "There was this guy, sitting in front of a keyboard which sounded like a piano on drugs. 'What's this?' i asked. 'I call it a synthesizer.' I fell in love with it. It had an effect on my work as if the alphabet was expanded form 26 letters to 1200.' I guess this is the best description of synthesizers ever.

    Nahre, Thanks for All You do, and this is an excellent piece, and brilliantly played,... However what You have really done is play on piano an imitation of what "electronic music" sounds like to You. There is nothing here that is an exploration of sound, timbre, or form, as enabled by synthesizer and or sequencer, or electronic sources and manipulations of sound. Your exploration of synthesizers was more like a kid sampling sweets, at a sweet shop and deciding which ones appeal to them, without knowing anything about how they are made or why. Synthesis is about exploring the possibilities of sound, but it seems that there are few videos that go into the aesthetics of sound and how various gadgets can help a person reach the unchartered territories of the "minds EAR " ! Most of what i see about synthesis on YT seems to be more about being wowed by some rich kids fiddling with gadgets and hoping that all the knobs, flashing lights, and cables will obscure the fact that they really are not musicians, or composers. You are both a great musician and composer, but this is not really electronic music! And although Your friends , who helped you "explore" seem very knowledgable, there was really very little discussion of substance, or an explanation of basics. A missed opportunity. Agree with Synth Future, and Satchmo Plays.

But bringing that understanding back to a musical sense was the hard part for me - which was my goal in the first place. Once you marry the two, the possibilities are endless. I didn't expect to see a Lisa Belle Donna level composition (although it would have been dope), but I did like her approach to imitate how a modular synth would sound if it was patched into a classical musician playing piano.

    Just listen to Wendy Carlos' realisation of the 4th Brandenburg concerto, and remember it was all played by hand, to tape, on a manually programmed synth with oscillators that drifted with temperature, and every single timbre change was added separately. A work of art, and, to my mind the best recording of a Brandenburg concerto. Actually all of the Switched on Brandenburgs are superb. But that's my favourite. Especially the last movement.

In live setting it wasn't possible, because you could play only one note at the time. The entire album was recorded a decade before first polysynths entered the market.

    I actually really loved that about the final piece. It's not trying to go to the extreme wacky infinite spaces of how a synthesizer can do almost anything, but rather taking a strength - something that is fundamentally a piano composition - and enhancing it with a variety of subtly-different timbres and sonic qualities for each passage, in a way that is only really practical on a synthesizer. To me it's an example of using the synthesizer to add to the art, instead of designing art to fit the synthesizer. Both are cool, but I feel like I've seen this kind of video less often.
