"That's not just nostalgia, that's emotion that's been encoded into the music" Right, that's it, I'm calling it. I think you should rename your channel 'Owen The Genius'

[@OwenTheGeek]

I'm patiently waiting by the telephone for a call from the queen.

[@mitchiemasha]

Daisy Dee OMG! Listening to an old skool rave set earlier, hearing the other synth melody, thinking "whoa, I forgot about this tune"... jumped to shazam, Somebody Real, jumped to youtube, boom drops straight in with that Piano. "That's the piano from Owens Propa Pianos, the BEST ONE!" Pure mad moment. Pure euphoria! Unbelievable!!!

[@nobbinsnotkins9595]

90s were the best times! ❤

[@xom.]

this is one of the best music tutorials ive ever seen. i hate pretty much all tutorials esp when they have to do with chords, music theory, but this one is just simple to digest and well made, nice work man

[@OwenTheGeek]

Thank you. I'm not a big fan of tutorials either. Maybe that's why?

[@ChrisSmout]

Breaking out the Roland U110 tonight for this one, let's go! Thanks for dropping more wisdom, Owen!

[@NinjaDeathTeddy]

This was very informative, but what struck me straight away was how emotionally expressive you are.

[@ForestWhitakerTulpa]

Very good! Helps me better understand how those piano chords work than any other video with its clear examples and explanations

[@iamshredzz]

the way you explain the progressive notes makes so much difference. it takes away the flatness and adds depth. many of these tracks were produced with stereo effects in place and it has a nostalgic feel every time. great content

[@chrisbutterley4648]

My favourite KZbin video ever!!! Owen you’re amazing!!! 🙏

[@SonicFortress]

Lets have a go at this Baby D,Let Me Be Your Fantasy Jimi Polo,Better Days Shades Of Rhythm,Sound Of Eden Bit Machine,Somebody Real Elevation,Can You Feel It Hyper Go Go,High / Rhythm Is Rhythm,Strings Of Life Awesome 3,Dont Go Asha,JJ Tribute :D

[@OwenTheGeek]

AMAZING! I think I can crown you the winner, but I have to say there's no Strings Of Life in there (Hyper Go Go - High is obviously inspired by Rhythm Is Rhythm!). Also, while Asha's JJ Tribute is the original source of the final piano, that one was a trick question because I actually emulated the track that samples it instead... I'm sure you know exactly which one I mean! ;)

[@SonicFortress]

Owen Palmer would it be this 1 that I remixed by any chance?! :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZC4h2mfo7-eatE

[@simontunnicliffe2107]

The 2nd piano although was used in Jimi Polo's Better Days, it was originally 40 Miles - Congress. There's a vocal version and non-vocal version of that.

[@bobcarolgees8278]

@@simontunnicliffe2107 i know its 2 years later but i cant resist. congress - 40 miles (1991) was released after jimi polo - better days (1989).

[@ryankenny6033]

[@OwenTheGeek]

[@jayviperdj]

Very interesting and very musically inspirational. Only 1 riff I didn't recognise too. Thank you for this.

[@longtomato92]

Let Me Be your Fantasy was actually playing on the radio when I clicked on this vid!

[@mswai5020]

Aye mate you're good, you really no you're tunes and styles I like the way you explain it all 2 keep up the good work fella

[@cameranwolfgramm8175]

Dude I love your video's, you've helped inspire me to get retrolouge when I get paid.

[@SKET_1996]

This is a bloody fantastic video! Going to try and apply these techniques in my music, big up!

[@OwenTheGeek]

Glad you found it helpful

[@anthonyblore1651]

Subbed. The greatest video of all time.

[@MegaNealo]

Bl00dy brilliant

[@MonsterDubClub]

This is some real premium stuff. Knowledge that I really personally needed to know. Thanks Owen really fucking glad I found your videos mate. You have opened my mind to start making some old school classic stuff. Cheers 👍

[@OwenTheGeek]

Many thanks!

[@newbreakscom5050]

Big Up Owen! Great work keep it up!

[@johnsignoretti4002]

Unbelievable

[@WillyJunior]

Very nice tutorial!

[@E4RLIES]

Mate where has the piano roll gone? I loved your Prodigy vid as it taught me as well as the understanding behind it, hope you can add it back again as it would make me so happy to learn these riffs 🙂👌🏼

[@harleyduncan5812]

great stuff again

[@GTVScotty]

As I was watching this video I was hoping you would include the last one. Easily my favourite piano riff ever.

[@kangeroobru]

Fantastic explanation. Thanks very much!

[@OwenTheGeek]

thank YOU

amazing work!

[@theravegeneration3745]

More like this please!

[@djdouble0steadman]

Great channel. Very informative content. Any chance you could do a vid on how stompy happy hardcore drums were made or the off beat stabs? I know 99% of them just sampled the Hoover from charley but there were a lot of variations and I can't figure out how they were done. Thanks for the videos! Keep them coming!

[@OwenTheGeek]

I don't think 99% of them sampled the hoover from Charly. Probably more tracks sampled the Mentasm hoover, but there were lots of great stabs. You've got me thinking now... Might do a stabby video!

[@jackjones513]

Great Video enjoyed it :)

[@STUDIOSLAVE]

Awesome videos Owen, Subbed!

Hello Owen, i'm glad i found this video in reddit. Btw, can you recommend more material to study about this topic?

[@OwenTheGeek]

Only my channel... that's why I'm doing it.

[@Snerkler1]

Wow, a lot of my all time favourites there, including my number 1 all time favourite Baby D. Would you be willing to share the Midi files for these please?

[@OwenTheGeek]

I can't do that

[@benjaminhayes900]

Hi Owen, Great video. Request - Any chance you could change from velocity to pitch in the key editor for future videos? Would be great to watch. Especially for Cubase users who have the key colours burnt in their brain. Cheers!

[@OwenTheGeek]

Ahhh man. That colour/note thing mucks with my head as I'm synaesthetic. I'd rather everything be black and white like in the old days.

[@christiananthony2026]

What is the song at seven Minutes I have heard it before and do not remember thank you

[@simontunnicliffe2107]

Great video. Classics these. JJ Tribute at the end is way too fast though. Yours is around 148bpm and the original is around 130-131 bpm.

[@OwenTheGeek]

Cos I deliberately modelled mine on one of the tracks that samples it :o)

How many of these are the Korg M1 piano? And what are some other classic lo-fi pianos?

[@OwenTheGeek]

None of them are the Korg M1, though the last one is something very similar. There's loads of other classic lo-fi pianos, as you see! JV-1080, JD-800, SQ-80, SY-85, U-220, JX-1, D-50, Proteus/1, and on and on
