90s Synth Cover by Magaziine ft. Astyn Turr & Christine Noel

This video may as well be a tribute to Dave Smith, may he rest in peace. I’m playing a Prophet 6, Karina is playing an OB-6, and Will is playing a Prophet 8. What blows my mind is the sheer volume of diverse textures, timbres, sounds, and feelings that can be achieved with these synthesizers. About a year ago, I decided to do a deep dive into the Prophet 6 and learn every knob, every button, every nook and cranny of the keyboard. It took me about a week of watching KZbin tutorials on each section of the instrument to learn the whole thing. My respect for Dave and his craftsmanship grew by an order of magnitude that week. I knew he was a genius, but the level of detail, musicality, and artistry that he had engineered into this instrument was a feat of imagination of execution at the highest level. I am an unapologetic Dave Smith fan boy.
As if that might not be enough, Dave invented a protocol that he called Universal Synthesizer Interface to allow synthesizers to transmit and receive information from each other. After some tweaking and revisions, he evolved the protocol and brought other manufacturers on board (Oberheim and Roland), and renamed it “Music Instrument Digital Interface,” or MIDI, which is still the standard today for transmitting and receiving musical data (pitch, velocity, etc.).
All that to say, Dave Smith was the SHIT. What a career, what a life, what a hero.
Thank you, Dave, for everything you gave the world, and thank you for giving us these incredible sounds we used to make this song.

Shout out to Dave Smith

[@everpuremusic]

I want to add a

[@marcmarc172]

what IS the shout out?

[@spoontastico]

The lighted keyboard risers are so fun to help visually show what each person is doing - and of course, killer arrangement and performances all around!!!

[@gbrown9942]

Synth heaven, great vocals, and your plain clothes still managed to bring a nod to 90s aesthetics. Thank you all

[@iansampson2477]

They just need to say "choose life" and the transformation is complete.

[@secilymusic]

You have just infinitely elevated one of my favorite songs ever!! This is the best way to wake up with my coffee and some hella groove. YUM!

[@Pomplamoose]

Wooohoo, so glad you liked it Secily!!

[@secilymusic]

@@Pomplamoose I just jammed with y'all on my piano and seriously today feels like a Friday now it's just that good LOL

[@ravegyrl3200]

YES!!!!! I love this song and it kind of falls under the radar. Thank you for covering it. This just made my day.

[@alex-835]

Thank you, guys! This song is like an acoustic medicine 💓

[@karlsteev]

Beautiful vocals!

[@JukeboxAlley]

This is so acoustically good it's ridiculous, the depth of the synth and background details and nuances is really captivating. Vocals I don't think I have to say anything, speaks for itself.

[@jetpac7890]

Loving the vocal arrangement in particular! Unison on the first chorus, harmonies on the second, and octaves on the third, and then that key change... really really nice!

[@Pomplamoose]

Agreed, Astyn & Christine crushed that arrangement.

[@ErixSamson]

Astyn Turr: what a voice!!!

[@UltimoWorm]

Caught myself vibing with the biggest smile the whole video through. God this tune makes me so HAPPY!!

[@Mawds69]

Ahh rocking the 90s. How about some Tasmin Archer - Sleeping Satellite?

[@floridaflamingogirl3119]

Love seeing Conte synth ingenuity in center stage. ❤

[@benwittman3431]

Fantastic y'all! Love this new project.

[@gregduncan261]

Wow! This is way better than the original version. Their voices are amazing together.

[@Jethroblank]

Simply great! Love this new project and looking forward to many weeks ahead.

[@esthermaples4456]

Magnificent! Ooooo those harmonies, so good!

[@shanefiddle]

Yay! Makes me happy. Thanks for posting!

[@aidenjohns8248]

Wow! amazing voices and as always love the vibe from the rest of the band.. awesome!..

[@Beispaua]

First viewing!!! One of the songs that defined my childhood. Love it, guys. Congratulations from Spain. 💞

[@FranzStrasse]

Nailed it. Stupendous harmonies. And yes, Dave was amazing. MIDI is infinitely useful and not just for synths.

[@phoenixquicker5535]

I love absolutely everything about this arrangement. I want an mp3 of this so much, I can taste it.

[@popy6856]

Hi this song is so beautiful played by your magical band. With Love.💜💜

[@qmelodia]

so happy to hear this and also feel the joy of 28 years' loving this song and having a cover bring tribute to it with a great punch and gusto! woot! :o)

[@samwilkins4569]

Mad as Hell this never showed up in my recommendations! Found it accidentally it by searching to get my Astyn fix.

[@chevyguy87]

We've come a long way from robot spiders, Jack. Absolutely stunning.

[@zensbleexperience3470]

Y'all are so extra love 💕 everything thanks

[@PeterMackett]

Absolutely fantastic!

[@ИванИванов-с6ъ9ц]

Ну вот опять смотрю, не надоело. Классно. Спасибо.

[@trime1851]

More is better! And this takes nothing away from anyone! Keep evolving!

[@HelenLagares]

Can’t believe I’m just seeing it today! Love it! Is it available on Spotify!?

[@melia6116]

Magic! Thanks❤

[@BassByTheBay]

Really nice take on this classic, and the ladies sound great! Also love being able to see the notes you're playing 😊.

[@timveromusic875]

If you’re gonna do covers, do em like this👏 and that OB-6 love the sound and the player!

[@tomasmunizz8130]

Je trouve l’état d’esprit de tout ça absolument professionnel, intéressant l’air nostalgique positive du contexte. Je dirais que j’ai aussi vu Dumbo 😉

[@blackiefitzpatrick6611]

Brilliant!!!

[@philstubblefield]

Not being much of a fan of electronic music, I was prepared not to like this... but it's got such a catchy groove! Well done, all! 👍

[@you_tune]

Guys! This is great 🎉 Thank U!

[@michaelduncan8345]

Love this!

[@birdylove24]

[@peervincent7845]

Did Sequential spend some synths? ;)

[@florianlouveau7779]

Une belle œuvre sa mère

[@debmurray2734]

Astyn. Turr.

[@Gonk]

Awesome love it :)

[@jcspider7259]

B E A U T I F U L

[@pobstrel]

I prefer this version to the original!

[@robertgraham9626]

If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies, Or, being hated, don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise; If you can dream - and not make dreams your master; If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with triumph and disaster And treat those two imposters just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to broken, And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools; If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on"; If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch; If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you; If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run - Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!

[@carlasofiamantillaludewig5970]

Me encanta

[@ernstwhere]

You have no idea what this means to me 💕💕💕!!!!

[@EpicMogi]

Whoop whoop

[@samyavignon]

Waouh

[@senorbe]

Any thoughts about releasing with Spatial audio (maybe you do already but my YT client can't handle it)?

[@kencousins]

It’s lovely, but there’s already a singer who bills herself as Magaziine.

[@pepelmalcampo2275]

❤❤❤❤❤👏👏👏👏👏

[@pepelmalcampo2275]

😮❤

[@Nopski_]

damn!

[@ForrestCokely]

I love this. Sounds great, fun textures, the multi-layered synths, and the vocal arrangements are great. I have no idea why you called the group Magazine

[@ForrestCokely]

In case you didn't: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magazine_(band)

[@IngeborgWolters]

Hi, this one is called Magaziine

[@rockstar1594]

Que paso con la otra vocalista?

[@the_hetman]

I think the idea is to feature a number of vocalists. A bit like Scary Pockets but with smooth synths rather than funk.

[@llaughridge]

Si el video se jama “Pomplamoose”, la vocalista es Nataly normalmente. Si se jama “Magaziine”, hay otra vocalistas/vocalistos.

[@darrenweston4777]

Oh, dear, I think this is the end.

[@nonchalantd]

!

[@dillonrodriquez9873]

Are these women related cause it sounded like one person doing doubles

[@metropolis10]

Starting to dig this new band. IMO drop the pajama party look though, uniforms can work, but personally I'm not feeling this one.

[@nicocava1772]

Lacks of real bass ^^

[@KJHSTPN]

shh...

[@Travolax]

Love it! some new faces first time I see on @PomplamooseMusic
