A warm welcome to Mike Scholz from Germany.

mike-scholz

Mike has produced some excellent electronic classical renditions in the past and says he will be releasing more works under the creative commons license.

See his Bio here http://www.classitronic.net/blog/current-artists/mike-scholz/

He says of this one “Winter, the second movement (Largo) of Vivaldi’s 4 season, performed on various synthesizers.
I was curious on how it would sound like, so i started to work on a synthesized version of that piece, inspired by the classical Synthesizer works of Wendy Carlos”

Nice work Mike, we look forward to hearing more from you.

You can see more on Mikes Youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/KRAFTWERK2K6

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

In the hall of the mountain king – Paul Shillito

In the hall of the mountain king – Grieg/Shillito

This took about 2 weeks to do the music and about 2 hours to stitch the video around around in the attempt to get a few more viewers on that there Youtube. Juries is out yet as to wether this approach works better than just a plain still image but it has the eye candy of Angelina Jolie and some great CGI scenes from Beowulf to help it along and it seems to go rather well with the music ( well i would say that wouldn’t I :-) )

Synths used on this were Omnisphere, CS-80V, Jupiter 8v and Virtual string machine.
