Thanks everyone for checking out my video, I'm glad that so many people are digging it. Just to clarify a few things that people have been asking: 1. This is an improvisation, not a preconceived piece. 2. This is an incredible instrument, being enhanced by the warble and grit of the Mobius, coupled with some superb delay and reverb from Timeline and Big Sky, respectively. This Rhodes sounds great dry, too, but these FX really elevate the sound to something other-worldly. 3. You cannot sample this for your own compositions without permission (as the copyright is mine). Please visit www.j3po.net to submit inquiries. 4. Some folks have asked about hearing more of this music. I have two records out on streaming platforms under my artist name J3PO. 5. I don't have any solo Rhodes recordings out yet, but enough people have asked about it that I may record a bunch of improvisations on this instrument and upload to Spotify for your listening pleasure. Peace, J

Absolutely. If you don't know him, you might enjoy the the Rhodes based minimal Japanese 'ambient' music of Hiroshi Yoshimura. His brilliant album Music for Nine Postcards (1982) explores that soundworld. You can hear it from the very first two tracks, Water Copy and Clouds. It's a beautiful album. Really makes me want a Rhodes (or failing that, a Vintage Vibe, Wurlitzer 200 or even a Hohner Pianet T). I also feel the same about well played nylon guitars. Especially the rest stroke, and tremelo playing techniques sounds like teardrops / streams of water droplets. And I suppose the harp too, though it's a bit more piano like in it's deeper bass.

The sound of the Rhodes reflects a fairly particular set of real feelings, and to me it's 'beauty of quiet moments' much of the time-- a pensive, reflective sound which has joy and melancholy in the same breath. It can do other things but that's the part of it we hear in stuff like this video. The '60s into the '80s had a lot of optimism and depression and the Rhodes can speak vividly of these things.

Idk, Fender makes 20 versions of the Telecaster, 30 Stratocasters, countless reissued amps but they can’t bother reissuing perhaps their greatest instrument ever? Samples just don’t sound like the real thing and the Rhodes sounds incredible. 👍👍🪗
@jennifersman79903 жыл бұрын
True, but it’s also possible they no longer own the rights to manufacture it again and don’t feel cutting a new deal is cost-effective. It’s probably cheaper to just license the sampler sound to Roland or Yamaha and let them integrate it into their keyboards.

There is a company that builds something very similar , problem is the price.

You should check out Vintage Vibe's 73 piano.

Fender doesn't own the rights anymore, they sold to Roland in the 80s, and Harold Rhodes got the company back in the mid-90s I think? They made the mark 7 in 2010ish, didn't do much after that. I know Vintage Vibe makes a Rhodes-style electromechanical tine piano, but I think they might be the only game in town at this point.

such a beautiful tone/sound....almost dream like. I play the bass but since the day I heard one, the fender rhodes has always and will always be my favorite instrument. My keyboard player had an 88 and I would sit and watch him in awe as he ran his fingers up & down the those keys. Thank you for posting this gem.

If you could hear what rainbows and sunshine and the sound the deepest part of your soul sounds like when it is healing after being crushed. This is what it would sound like. I've been playing drums for about 40 years and you sir would be the first member of my dream band. Electric Guitar player who is just as comfortable playing acoustic is the next peice.
