Genesis - Domino (Full keyboard cover)

[@joshuaecht]

I love the middle 8 part where it transitions from "Now do you see what you've done?" to the actual "You gotta go domino" part! It's from 6:37 to 7:10.

[@davidyardley512]

Wow this is outstanding. Every note is where it should be in the live version. Congratulations!!!

[@guygrindley354]

This is ridiculosly good. The break at 4.40 is amazing. Total class

[@MathGsr]

Ridiculosly ? 😅 Haha thanks mate !

[@RanjitSouri-PinkFloydPiano]

OMG, you keep hitting it out of the park. You are a brilliant performer and a brilliant synth programmer. Your covers provide an unprecedented window into the world of Tony Banks during a concert. The overhead camera angle is a thoughtful choice for the benefit of your audience.

[@stephencampbell7427]

I complete agree with the overhead camera angle. Very generous of Math to show. Thank you so much.

[@MathGsr]

Wow, when I started this channel I would never have thought having these kind of feedbacks. Thank you so much. As I said before i'm trying to make this channel a good place for any Genesis fan, and as you said very well : a window into Tony's World ! I also wanted to share a tutorial view with the overhead camera. I think that if I show how to play, more people will learn it, play it, then Genesis will never die :D

[@RanjitSouri-PinkFloydPiano]

@@MathGsr Thank you, your work is much appreciated!

[@92leon]

i think it is incredible and amazing people like you and Tony Banks can play/control many keyboards/synthesizers that is talent

[@MatheusTeles]

Very nice!! I liked your clothes as Tony was dressed in 1987

[@MathGsr]

Glad you spotted this ! Thanks :D

[@n8goulet]

Great job as always. This song was a real gem in the 80s. Next to "Home by the sea / Second home by the sea", probably the next best thing the band did in the 80s, and easily one of their best tracks of any period. I hope they play it again when I see Genesis in December. You figured the parts out great as always. Most of the sounds were spot on, as with your other videos. A few of the sounds sounded a bit different to me. I could also be the combination with other instruments too. I'll have to listen section by section next to the original. I'm so glad you transcribes these parts for us to hear. I hope you get a gig with a Genesis tribute band. You deserve it.

[@MathGsr]

And as always a very great comment too. :) I agree with your analysis, with the Brazilian (which doesn’t count for me since it’s instrumental) this song is for sure the best from invisible touch ! Sadly the next one will be.. invisible touch :( it’s gonna be a tough moment lol. Then turn it on again medley and this tour will be finally done. I won’t do in too deep and in the cage medley, because in too deep wasn’t played at Wembley, and I prefer the turn it on again medley which replaced itc medley at Wembley. (There is also 293902 videos of in the cage on KZbin so...). Moreover this medley include apocalypse in 9/8 played with That’s all organ patch on the Synclavier and there is already 2 vides of apocalypse on my chanel so... yeah The only sounds that are not 100% spot on (but very very close) is the brass part at 5:10, the kind of « wolf scream » since it’s a sample from tony, and maybe the Synclavier lead which has a high filter issue (Can’t do anything against, it’s Arturia..) Thank you mate, I hope too.. wait and see !

[@n8goulet]

@@MathGsr That brass sound is pretty close actually. One of the sounds I was talking about (but not the only one) is the bass part just before it. I assume the bass was combined with real bass, but even so, the end result is much different. Sounds like a lot more than just that bass part you played & an electric bass guitar even just for the repeating part. Not exactly sure why. I'm also hearing what I think are accent parts from the keyboards during those bass parts in some sections I'm not hearing in this video. But overall, fantastic job. Maybe you have a better explanation on what's what are you've really have dug deep on all these songs.

[@MathGsr]

@@n8goulet oh I wouldn’t have thought that you were talking about this one.. By the way it’s the same sound since I used the same preset from the Dx7. It’s also used during the intro of Anything she does, I play this song sometimes because it’s fun. that’s how I found the preset. There is a variation with the velocity and it is also on the video from Wembley but a bit hard to ear since Mike & Daryl play the same. I used a lot of chorus also so in isolated keyboard it can be strange a bit

[@FilmMusicMentor]

I'm also seeing Genesis in December. I am avoiding watching the concert footage online as I want to be surprised.

[@RoseAngellight]

Amazing work, congratulations!

[@MathGsr]

Thank you :)

[@santibanks]

Tony plays all those Kalimba parts himself live. It is why this is one of the most difficult Genesis tracks to perform from the keyboard side of things because you have all these mappings on the keyboard (emulator) of which sound is where. It is basically custom mapping the played notes out in such a way that you can play all of it with 1 hand. Reserving the pinky for the Fairlight voice and the other fingers for the Kalimba (or you could do it with velocity switching but that's less comfortable in my experience).

[@koenraadhendrik]

I'm learning to play this song but I can't find the galloping sound that starts at 04:31. I think it's a DX7 preset. Can you tell me what sound you used?

[@MathGsr]

Yes it's a DX7 preset! But you won't find it on any Dx7 vst library (even dexed). It's from a very rare ROM.. I used the Land of confusion patch for this one which is not 100% accurate but sounds good imo. There is also an interview from Banks where he plays this sounds alone, you can make a sample from this video but I hate doing this, it's not my philosophy ^^ Banks did sampled the original sound from his Dx7 to play it later as a simple sample for 1992, 2007 and 2021 tour. Check the comment section of my Land of confusion cover, if I remember well I gave the preset name or someone did for sure

[@NathanMendel]

@@MathGsr Wow, that is crazy. Sampling your own keyboard :D Do you know what interview that is where he plays the sound alone? Do you know what rare DX7 ROM it is from?

[@allenbaker_music]

Absolutely beautiful!! Is "Anything She Does" next? :D

[@MathGsr]

Well I don't know. 😅 I'm done with the invisible touch tour, i'm still playing Tonight or Brazilian sometimes since their a my favorites from this tour, but I moved to the very early Genesis. I'm planning to do a cover of Do the neurotic later, so why not doing Anything she does at the same time ^^

[@allenbaker_music]

@@MathGsr Ooo Do the Neurotic is a great choice! Extra points if you can program the intro percussion sequence xD

[@MathGsr]

@@allenbaker_music 3 month later, it's done 😅 ! But keyboard parts are impossible to play live, too much layer

[@Yunggrebo]

Great cover, love the synth sounds. Could you be so kind to confirm what is the keyboard that comes in at 1:45 and are you using a preset for it?

[@MathGsr]

Thanks mate :) It's from the Emulator 2+. If I remember well this is a very famous Voice preset also used by Depeche mode and many other band from the mid 80's. I combined it with the flute from the Beginning to make that sweet little vibrato

[@Yunggrebo]

@@MathGsr I’m in love with that voice preset, Everytime I hear the track that synth line takes me somewhere else! Great job again and thanks for getting back to me

[@MathGsr]

I Always Have the same feeling when I listen to it !! It sounds way deeper and more powerfull when lowered, listen to the 2021 live version, excepted Phil voice it sounds so so good !

@@MathGsr Did you ever end up doing that VST video? You should, you've obviously nailed the sounds so it would be interesting to hear your breakdown. Do it in French if you like, I'll still watch it :D

[@martinvoicesynthmusic1732]

Vraiment bon ! Félicitation ! T'es sons sont vraiment proche de l'original sinon pareil ! Aurais-tu l'amabilité de me donner un peu d'info sur le preset du solo à 3:47 et 8:35 ? Et peut-être aussi le son de "fantôme" au début de part 2. En passant, je rêve ou tu porte le veston de Tony Banks de 1986 !?!?!!!

[@MathGsr]

Merci beaucoup, ça fait plaisir :) c'est effectivement pour la plupart les sons orignaux. Domino est assez particulier car en live (du moins pour le invisible touch tour) la plupart des sons étaient différent de la version studio. Et les sons étaient généralement recyclé d'un morceau à l'autre, c'était beaucoup plus simple à cette époque au début du midi. Par exemple le preset du solo dont tu parles, en studio provenait du Dx7 (comme quasi tous les sons). Sauf qu'en live, c'est un preset du Synclavier II. Et plus particulièrement, un preset que tu connais bien puisque c'est le main lead de Mama ! Il a simplement été recyclé ici et ça sonne bien. De même que la genre de bass électronique joué à la main gauche pendant une bonne partie après le solo de 3:47, en live c'est simplement le même preset que Land Of confusion qui provient du Dx7. Le son de "fantôme" originalement c'est un sample personnel de Tony qu'il avait chargé sur son Ému 2+ (puis sur ses autres claviers après comme le Kronos et autres Wavestation etc.). Et j'ai simplement recrée de A à Z ce sample puis chargé sur mon CME UF50 en le mappant avec les patch Brass et brass hit de l'Emu 2+ (exactement comme Tony). D'ailleurs ce sample tel qu'il est là n'était pas encore présent sur la version studio, il n'existe qu'en live. Je pourrais te parler des heures de ce morceau car c'est de loin mon préféré de cet album, mais je vais m'arrêter là :D Et sinon oui très bonne observation, c'est bien la même veste :) !

[@martinvoicesynthmusic1732]

@@MathGsr Merci pour ton retour. Je suis très impressionné par ta maîtrise du sujet. J'ai tellement écouté de fois autant les versions studios et lives mais j'ai jamais remarqué que c'était pas les mêmes presets !!! (En fait pour les tournées de 2007 et 2021 des fois je trouvais que ça sonnait un peu différent mais je me disais que c'était qu'ils jouaient sur une tonalité un peu plus basse pour donner une chance à Phil.) Tu sais tout ça grâce à ton oreille ou tu trouve les infos sur internet ? En tout cas si tu as des sites internet qui donnent ce genre d'info je suis preneur !! Moi aussi j'aime énormément Domino et ça va être un des covers que je veux faire en 2022. Pour un des sons je me disais justement que mon point de départ serait le Lead de Mama. Tu me confirme que ça a bien du sens ! Encore une fois félicitation et merci pour tout tes vidéos et ton savoir.

[@MathGsr]

@@martinvoicesynthmusic1732 j'écoute tous ces morceaux depuis que j'ai 3 ans donc forcément chaque petit détail différents m'apparaissent comme un cheveux dans la soupe 😂 Malheureusement il y a très peu de forum traitant cette époque de genesis, sur les 70's il n'y a que ça mais dès qu'on franchi Abacab plus rien.. donc non j'ai découvert tout ça de moi même et je ne peux que le partager avec des passionnés. La plus grosse différence pour moi c'est Tonight X3. Le solo de la version studio est vraiment très différent de la version live (solo qui a d'ailleurs été supprimé dès la tournée suivante). Mais par exemple c'est très drôle de voir qu'en 87 supper's ready était joué avec l'orgue de that's all (du Synclavier), los endos avec le lead sound de 2nd Home by the sea ou encore que le Cp80 était utilisé en simple contrôleur midi dans Tonight. Cette tournée restera toujours la.plus mystérieuse et la meilleure pour moi, point de vue claviers, sons etc J'attends ta version de Domino 😉 J'ai moi même recrée la version instrumentale "exacte" de la version studio mais ce n'est pas en rapport avec ma chaîne, néanmoins si tu as d'autres questions n'hésite pas :)

This is another great one! I love that you are playing the 80's stuff, most video's you'll find online are people playing stuff from the 70's era. What patch did you use at the beginning? Tony plays it on the Emulator but I don't know what the name of the patch is.

[@MathGsr]

Thanks a lot ! Yes you’re right, that’s why I decided to play 80’s era. There is 2 songs remains to end the invisible touch tour and then I will start the very early genesis live (1970-1973) since I own the real keyboards from this time. For the sound, I used an Emulator 2+ as tony did, but in vst from Arturia. It’s a preset, a kind of Japanese flute sample that I edited exactly as tony did. It’s probably the most accurate sound ^^

[@MatthewWilkinson]

@@MathGsr how did you know how he edited it? Sounds exactly the same
