I've seen Dorian Concept playing live some years ago. During the show something went wrong and like half of his music machines went dead for a while. Any other electronic music producer would by fucked and would probably just blame it on hw/sw malfunction, sue the stage manager etc. but DC just kept playing. He took the chunks of the track which kept playing and immediately transformed it into something musical and meaningful using just the gear that was still on. This guy is true musician, and a pro instrumentalist, nevermind he plays "just" the synths. Don't get the diss comments around here.

[@midnightcat2838]

He’s gotta be one of the greatest instrumentalists of our generation tbh I showed this to my dad who is 65 and he almost had a heart attack

[@lxrdox]

The Microkorg is really underrated. That thing is a beast if you know how to use it.

[@JohnLaVine333]

...but it's SO poorly built! Got rid of mine. Also peace Dante√

[@relikvija2]

Titanium50 good point life is the same way

[@JohnLaVine333]

@sepuku cel I had one. First hand reporting. It was flimsy. Fake news your mother...

[@chikoavena3407]

Underrated? U sure? Lol

[@dailyhabitz]

This dude learned how to use the Korg in an unconventional way and made it even more amazing with superb player skills.

[@BrickBucketFilms]

i was scared they took down this video because the thumbnail changed, lol. This is the video that inspired me to get a synthesizer..

[@techstyle123]

You demonstrate this machine with such ability that I bet korg would love to make you a one off microkorg with all the bells and whistle's that you need on it...this is the sort of stuff this machine was made for...10\10

[@elvergalarga4461]

“Demonstrate the machine with such ability”……he played with the delay for while. that’s all really.

[@nuderedfinger]

@@elvergalarga4461it’s less about the technical impressiveness and more about making something musical using a fairly basic tool. His creativity (combined with his keyboard chops) and his energy/excitement leads to some really amazing jams/sketches!

[@joannaquehenberger]

To me many of these comments here are really surprising even funny. DC has been such a huge inspiration for me during the last decade. It seems like a LOT of people are not understanding his music. Being a musician myself this actually gives me hope: you can do music that creates tons of originality and beauty and still won´t be appreciated by many- it REALLY doesn´t say anything about the music but about the people who judge it from a completely different understanding of music. It´s like a culture clash.

[@FakeDeath92]

talk shit all you want but live performances are very hard, especially with a keyboard! Dude has talent no doubt.

[@Bonneville_Brute]

Are people talking shit on this?? They must have zero fucking clue what they're talking about.

[@gohangmusic8038]

[@23petals]

Never heard of this musician, but he is SLAYING SO HARD

[@myautobiographyafanfic1413]

This is so funny. everyone's like "microKORG is good and all, but it's clunky for changing your voices live" and this guy's just like "nah fuck it man"

[@JohnLaVine333]

...they are really poorly built

[@nickheaton7207]

John La Vine you're really poorly built >:(

[@JohnLaVine333]

Hey, sorry I hurt your feelings nick, but personally attacking me ( & appearing foolish while doing so ) ...isn't really a good look! :P I owned a MicroKorg. It was flimsy & malfunctioned. I stand by my position that they are poorly built.

[@elvergalarga4461]

@@JohnLaVine333 but that’s just an opinion.

[@JohnLaVine333]

@@elvergalarga4461 First of all, no it's not. It's an objective fact. They are 100% lightweight plastic & made from cheap components. They're mass produced. Obviously "poorly built" is relative. But I'm not even comparing them to a Prophet 5 reissue or anything. Just compare the MicroKorg to a Minilogue... which, arguable is not that well built compared to a Moog Grandmother or even the widely hated Akai Timbre Wolf! The MIcroKorg is flimsy. You'll notice I mentioned owning one. If you visited my Channel you would also see I own a great many other Synths as well. Including a fair few Korgs. I love Korg. THey have a unique Sound! But their stuff is easily damaged & the MicroKorg is the worst example of this I have encountered. I have 3 Volcas. That's kind of saying something. Second, so what if it is? I fail to see your point.

[@OriginOfSpin]

"Using my left hand as a modulator" blew my mind

[@Timecop1983]

This makes me regret selling my microkorg.. but then again if i still had i would never be able to play it like this! Awesome!

[@JaySuschrist]

Wow. This dude is incredible. When the DJ is an actual musician. Cool stuff.

[@victorandrada]

i dont understant the hate, guy is a genius

[@Radbalahhouse]

GENIUS!

He's a freakin' genius. I loved his albums.

[@Ponchy]

I’m a bit late to the MicroKorg party since I just got one but it is quite the amazing little synth and Dorian Concept is badass.

[@ChrisBrooker]

Did sound for this guy a few months ago and was blown away. His technique is way out there and his talent is huge. I'd like to see all these haters try to do what he does and sound half as good (and musical for that much.)

[@bbbernardooo]

new dorian concept album is lush, he has come far

[@nycpny8396]

This guy was really rocking the microkorg well, he seems like he did his studying on this instrument. Well done.

[@elvergalarga4461]

But he didn’t though.

​@@elvergalarga4461 You're commenting on a 7 year old comment at the time to drop a negative comment with 0 substance. You must be an expert judging by your smug attitude, so I'm *so* curious who you think are the *true* Microkorg experts. Please, I'm dying to know.

[@Lobbogurke]

I love my microkorg! Bought it around, jes, already 8 years ago and I still enjoy it!

I’ve shown my friends Dorian Concept they hated it. I firmly believe that if you can’t appreciate Dorian Concept then you really don’t know anything about music.

[@adriannunez8868]

Seriously

[@Gibson1976uk]

One of my favourite synths of all time! and I own a Moog!! Which is also another favourite! but I mention that because I find it annoying when you get so called musicians who bash on the Korg? Saying it’s a Toy etc. Seriously, the Microkorg has helped bring out creative ideas in me!! There is just something special about it and it’s not that hard to use, just spent lots of time with it and have fun!!

[@rodmcdonough6111]

You are a freaking one-of-a-kind creative GENIOUS!

[@patrickstutt86]

Nice. I have a Micro Korg and it is a very cool creative tool to have lying around but this guy takes it a bit further.

[@theoporcet9767]

Dorian brings me back to Earthbound (Mother2) feelings...

[@dianaisdizzy]

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that does this. I think its not about fallowing a certain pattern or tune its more about letting your ears take over your hands. I can't explain but its like I'm not even in control sometimes it just flows out....

[@lai_raw]

[@craigmeyer5778]

killing it...love my microkorg...it is subtle but shines on our tracks.....this guy tho? wow....brilliant!!

[@evidenz111]

What a great way of going about it. Big up bro

[@goldendrums6657]

this is another level of synth playing ...not just kind of typical playing chords or scales that's what sound making is about... i've used microkorg for 10yrs...and i coudlnt even think about these creativity

[@angeltrevino5396]

Check out what the band, Computer Jesus Refrigerator did with the MicroKorg. Wildly creative.

and I also see an interesting taste in photograpy

just perfect. jazz music has a future.

[@EchadLevShtim]

I am so glad I bought this 6 months ago. This is so bad ass. I'm finding that much of the vintage hardware is better. I will NEVER sell this. I had the nervous left hand, but now its making sweet love.

MIcroKORG is VERY versatile! , i run mine thru my Boss303 Dr. Sample to give it even more effects, such and underrated synth! for under 400$ too! great video man!

[@mack_solo]

Looking at comments, people who come from sound design angle and/or are more open minded, go: "Cool". Whereas conservatively trained musicians, regurgitate their brains in shock and dismay. As if there were never classical artists who went rogue and free from the canonical establishment on their favorite instrument. You're not going to get anywhere else if you only move from A to B. Experiment.

[@FlippyHambone]

Does the MicroKORG make a GOOD midi controller as well?

[@_Julian__]

Korg needs to give him a signature

[@JasonSpiffy]

Anyone think he was playing the music from Strider the arcade when he was messing with the di9? So familiar.
