30+ Synths play Tubular Bells at SuperBooth 2017

[@macronencer]

Came back to hear this again. Whatever it is about the genius of Tubular Bells that I find so compelling, I find it really hard to explain it to others in words. I think it's impossible to compare it to any other piece of music ever written, because it seems to exist along some dimension of its own.

[@gladtobeangry]

That was a whole lot of fun to watch and listen to. Also cheers for crediting the Brooklyn Organ Synth Orchestra version, I love their rendition too. :)

[@DavidBGoode]

Beautiful. The first album I ever bought. I'm 59 now and it still enthrals me. An excellent achievement,. Thank you.

[@PearlPaisley]

Two years later but I have to say that this is a masterpiece rendition of a masterpiece. Magic! congratulations!

[@ChrisSmout]

Not only a great and unique rendition, but a great snapshot of all the equipment that people have access to. What an excellent time to get into synthesizers!

[@loopop]

Thanks and indeed!

[@TheShaktube]

Outstanding and a tip of the hat to Brooklyn Synth Orchestra too. I have had the privilege of getting back into synths after a 20 year hiatus and my modern equipment (FA08 , reface cp & yc, moog minitaur) blows my mind! Like traveling to the future.

[@williamchiafos3889]

The gift that keeps on giving. Thank you.

[@adamholmes3135]

Absolutely mesmerizing. I'm so glad I am finally able to support your channel. I'm listening to your "multi synth mash-up" playlist as I read the first chapter of your "incomplete book". Great refresher for an old school synth head. Haven't noodled around for a while. I'm so far behind on the latest, I'm not sure I even know what all my equipment is capable of. This should help. Thank you!!

[@loopop]

Thanks for joining my Patreon and for taking the time to write - glad you like it!

[@Philipplus]

As someone who is a fan of Mike Oldfield long before I even knew what a synthesizer is, I am truly impressed! This is amazing. Congrats!

[@cillobillo1059]

Quickest 8 minutes of my life. Thank you for this.

[@FrankPSF]

I cannot believe that I haven't seen this until today! OMG, this is genius! What a great way to demo different gear. Please, the next time you are at a trade show, do Autobahn!!!

[@kvfive]

Amazing !! That's some serious effort gone into this ! Highly impressed :-)

[@Gu1tar1st]

You Sir, win the internet. So good, I watched it twice.

[@stephenmarseille5425]

I kept waiting for the actual tubular bell part to show up. But **** man, this is brilliant. Considering how it had to have been made, what a homage and performance!

[@kek23k]

Really enjoyed this, thanks for putting in so much effort and also for adding in the list of synths :)

[@macronencer]

We're so lucky to live in a time with so much rich variety in synth technology. Wow. 14-year-old me from 1979 would be simply blown away by this video (and not just because it would be on a thing called "the web"...)

[@raysparkindustries]

What a great idea. Would be amazing to hear a realization of this with all synths + machines played live together, with 30+ players. Think you're onto something here. Well done :)

[@phormzlab1743]

Hah ...this is like Band Aid where the synths are the singers. 😄 Amazing job!

[@BertGrink]

Wow it took me a moment to realise that the synth at 1:25 has all black keys! It looks totally badass! :D Awesome video, it gave me a minor nerdgasm to hear all those lovely instruments.

[@alexandersen2718]

Couldnt stop watching/listening! Awesome work!

[@MarcWeertsMusic]

Fantastic! Love that it didn’t just stick to the original but went its own way!

[@willvine4921]

I've just found this , today 9th November 2017 , I award you the winner of the Internets loopop !

[@loopop]

Will Vine ... thanks Will ;)

[@andrewedis9907]

This is a fun and interesting cover, I like it. Thanks for posting!

[@igormaxwel6093]

Mike Oldfield needs to watch this amazing tribute!

[@oscillated139]

Inspiring. I remember how good the organ orchestra rendition was and this is on a par with that. Thanks for the really helpful demos as well.

[@loopop]

oscillated thanks ;)

[@patnocat]

Just utterly outsanding!!!! Nuff said.

[@slactionhero3060]

This is awesome! It totally made my day and put a smile on my face.

[@maarzt]

lovely! Ommadawn next up!

[@DuncanFoster]

Brilliant! That's a superb piece of work, I can't imagine how much time that must have taken.

[@loopop]

Thanks! Two full show days and 10 hours of editing... but zero work and all fun ;)

[@TheJscottbpsmith]

Wow, great rendition.

[@Dudderlyful]

Impressive stuff! Well done!

[@kv3x]

That was awesome! Great job putting it all together!

[@LarsBjerregaard]

Well done! Yeah, the Brooklyn girls were awesome :-)

[@loopop]

Lars Bjerregaard thanks!

[@megadavel1]

Mind blowing sonic pleasures to all my vibrational senses...my inner self is even happier!

[@loopop]

hey man thanks very much what a cool comment

[@patnocat]

Outragoesly fantastic!

[@mrdavies7894]

Vert cool - very different - and most welcome!

[@blackmateria6357]

[@CM-kw1dw]

Genial, hace tiempo que no escuchaba sonidos bien trabajados...felicitaciones!!!

[@SternLX]

Doooood!!! That was awesome!!

[@e-conrecords4665]

Well that was fucking fantastic!

[@marxnutz]

If Kraftwerk got ahold of Tubular Bells? Oddly satisfying rendition of The Bell.

[@MountThor]

Wicked performance Mike, congratulations... !!!

[@loopop]

Thanks! Mike wrote it - Loopop looped it ;)

[@MrKayMrKay]

Awesome work dude! Love it!

[@danielloureiro2114]

This was awesome! :) Congrats!

[@Allomerus]

Great idea and execution! Awesome!

[@EniaPiano]

Awesome work! 👏👏👏 Congratulations!

[@johnfrench7452]

Stratospheric. "I thought I'd join the RAF and become a wing commander. I realised this wasn't possible, although I do have a pilot's licence", Mike Oldfield.

[@Tom-Lahaye]

Just fantastic! nice shots of all the equipment used, some sounds were the real original sounds on more modern equipment, like the chorus on the memotron, which must be the modern digital melotron. Couldn't see what synth was playing around the 5:00 mark, with the Elektron drum machine, but that synth also produced a sound recognicable from the original Tubular Bells album.

[@ZombieTactics]

Amazing ... I especially like that you did the actual "Tubular Bells" instead of the B -side used in The Exorcist.

[@Synthelicious]

That was superb!! I salute you....

[@widy75]

wow fantastic work ... and just use what ever gear u can get on the super booth shows your skills at all

[@RalphBaumgartl]

Fascinating stuff!

[@AABattery]

HOLY! This is so amazing. I am currently sorting my stuff for a lil supercut of superbooth but this is insane! Awesome idea and execution. Would have loved to meet you and watch your journey through this!

[@loopop]

AA Battery Thanks! Trust me the process itself of connecting cables and setting up the tripod was not a pretty sight... would have much rather met you for beer after ;) that said it was a ton of fun. You have 10-20 minutes to learn a synth but you've got the help of people who know it like no one else

[@MrPeteUK]

When the Mini and Mellotron kick in... ♥️

[@he1mut]

(Now that I completed my "geek ID" duty) - pretty amazing effort!

[@diagrama3899]

This is good stuff!

[@ArrayzableMusic]

Definitely liking and subscribing!!! Awesome, great and time consuming job!!!! :-)

[@InkyDaCaT]

I just found this 😂😂 its crazy great, personally and gonna get stick for saying, improves on original 😂 liking that momotron thing when it first kicks in, the synths have really taken over the planet...was big fan of this years mash up...that was awesome!

[@loopop]

Inky Blue thank you ;)

[@theaudioeng]

Good effort!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@agentred8732]

PLEASE tell us that you made a 'making of' video which documents the awesome feat that you've pulled off here!

[@loopop]

Red Agent thanks but no sorry just making this one took up all my time ;)

[@fxsonic]

very nice my friend! I wonder how you join all audio from those synths into a complete song. Well done!

[@loopop]

Ferdi Soewandi thanks! Once all the parts are recorded I put it together using video editing software (premiere)

[@fxsonic]

loopop so you planning what note/beat to play in each synths?

[@VEBSoundengine]

[@fuguroo]

[@loopop]

Of course things get weird when you get to the modular. lol. Gotta love em.

[@johnfrancisdoe1563]

Shadow Pilot Could use some more dialing in though.

[@papas_lapas]

A visual and aural treat.

[@loopop]

[@guygarciavargas]

[@PearlPaisley]

That sound is spot on!

[@loopop]

Aecio de Souza thanks! Not genius... just love synths... yes everything was recorded to camera and either sequenced in device or played with a click track in my ear...

[@njorlify]
