Making, Tangerine Dream tutorial & essence of Ricochet, Cherokee, Rubycon & Phaedra

Half a Century Ago! - I was tinkering around with this rig the other day and literally stumbled into the opening sequence on Ricochet part two and thought could I do soundalkes of some of my fave early TD albums. I don't like doing covers on this channel so, stuck to recreating the essence of those tracks (and rushed them for you, so no drawn out intros!). Using this impressive looking but limited budget gear I take you into building the key sequences or two from scratch and the top lines and pads. For me it is more of a testament to the fact they were making this complex (or not depending on your musical age) music 50 years ago!

The chapters break the video into the 'Making of' an excerpt of each work and then a 'Mini Performance' called 'Essences' - putting it into practise. Ricochet is the longer of the performances and the other three only 2-4 mins. Rubycon and Phaedra are less than perfect as I was rushing those a little, but you can still hear the essence especially with the phased solina.

Technically I explain how things are working in the video and you can go see this rig over a modular grid here - https://www.modulargrid.net/e/racks/v...
And if you like this sort of 'track recreation' content please say, oh and also support me on Bandcamp for my original works! - https://garyphayes.bandcamp.com/
