I would like to offer a warm welcome to Richard deCosta who joins our list of current artists producing an outstanding portfolio of work which can be seen at his “So Many Colors” classical synthesizer website http://classical-synthesizer.richarddecosta.com which includes the following rendition of Mars from the Planets suite by Holst.
Richard says about the work “I’ve always felt there should be a synthesizer arrangement of Holst’s “Mars” that does is justice: massive, brutal, biting, jarring, full of rage and terror. With this arrangement I think I have achieved that.”
Equipment used:
Apple Mac G5
Logic Pro 8
NI Massive
NI FM8
EXS24 Sampler
