How Do You Make BLADE RUNNER Music???

Well you got the background drone bit right. The rest was pretty pants to be honest.

Best way I've found to get dystopian future soundscapes is to walk around outside with a microphone.

Vangelis is the missing ingredient. Across all his records he displays his inimitable feel, taste and instinct. One of a kind. The 2049 score is a masterclass of sound design and abstract sonic world building though. Great stuff

As someone who owns a cs80. (Believe me or not) it is an unbelievable piece of gear and still blows my mind I got it.

Blade Runner will always be that “I just got my first VCR” movie.

That was so good, despite being clicked together in 40 minutes, The Bladerunner score is so etched into the very fabric of me, hearing you build up this demo gave me goosebumps. I don't know how much it is the synth and much the artist, but it IS clear it is dear to your heart as well... And yes, I liked what Zimmerman did with the 2049 score, it was a homage to the original one without having the audacity to do better, just different without losing the DNA of the original.

One of the biggest secrets of Blade Runner’s sound are the reverbs. Lots of Lexicon high end verbs. You can put the cheapest, dumbest sounding synth through one and if you have the right envelopes of saw waves going into the correct reverb, it’ll get to Blade Runner vibes fast. The reverb is more important than the synth for that lead. Eventide DSP sounds good, the old units like 4000 or 7000, but I think Lexicon PCM 70, 80 or 300 is great too.

I actually had the chance to work for Vangelis a few years back, best experience of my career. Vangelis is the nicest and wise person you'll ever know.

I got to touch a CS-80 in the early 1990s. It was magnificent. One of two or three in the studio it was housed in. I worked in a small shoebox of a studio space in a studio complex in North London. Opposite our studio, on the other side of the corridor was a huge studio packed to the rafters with stunningly expensive keyboard equipment and a massive state of the art mixer. It was upkept by a Belgian dude for his absentee boss. The Belgian dude was an engineer/musician who just hung around tinkering on all the CS-80s, Polymoogs, what have you. His boss was some Greek guy, with only one name. Began with a V or something. But he never showed up.

Vangelis did what he was best at, thus we now have the term "bladerunnery". A sound that we didn't know we wanted, but we needed. Zimmer did great justice to the sequel of the film. He has a great understanding on character, thematics, andstill manages to put his own characater without ruining anything at all.

I’ve just discovered that—remarkably and fairly surprisingly—Arturia’s little Microfreak coupled with an outboard FX unit like Bluesky can recreate all of the Deckard’s Dream and all of the CS sounds with the same depth for around $300. 😵‍💫

The sound is astounding..I got a plug_in called Messiah from memory moon which recreates the exact sound. It even has a preset called blade runner. And i loved your energy and enthusiasm.

Magnificent homage 🙌 absolutely a huge fan of Vangelis and his work so to hear this done so beautifully warms my heart.

Vangelis was the first time I'd ever heard synth. I feel like my interest in the genre has always been pursuing the sounds that I heard as a child, without ever truly approaching them.

This is my first vid of your channel and when you played the Bladerunner chords I nearly felt to tears. So AMAZING <3 Wow, I appreciate and love this craftmenship, not only back in the days, but even now. Very awesome, thank you very much <3

Bladerunner score is sick man I do all my art projects listening to it. Literally no bodies of work out there like it, and still searching

Your enthusiasm made this video. Class stuff. Kudos from Ireland 🇮🇪

I've spent years skirting the prickly admission that I just want to sound like Vangelis ❤️ and occasionally I admit to that and have a great time. I'm torn between Bladerunner and Chariots of Fire as being my most profound musical origins. It is lovely to find I'm not a lone nerd, but there is a perhaps an entire generation of us! PS Christian, that is the easiest to understand review of the Deckard's Dream I've ever seen, and now my wife understands why I need one. Thank you!

wow, that was great. i love blade runner. was watching your video and had to switch off my speakers (was concerned to disturb my neighbours). so I switched to headphones and that was the point i was completely blown away. could not belive that you could reproduce the sound to quick. fantasic job. Thanks

Love your content! I’m currently an MM in media scoring student at Frost school of Music because of your channel! Thank you! ❤️🙏
