Gymnopédie (using guitar pedals for lo-fi textures)

I was wondering "how would it sound the saddest song with the saddest texture?"
I was testing the added texture of both El Capistan and Shallow Water pedals in keys.The organelle is running thru the SW and the Reface CP goes thru El Capistan.
At the end a mistake made me laugh, I need to study more this song! But I really enjoy the sound texture.

[@TheDyingPlant]

i love the giggle at messing up very relatable and adds something cosy

[@demoncanondllyf]

I would buy an entire album of this to put me at sleep

[@brunomcleod]

Same

Haroumi Hosono - Watering A Flower Or anything from the Japanese 80s ambient scene, really. Satsuki Shibano even made an album of Satie compositions but it's more literal than this

wow that reface is a serious good instrument

Yes it is!!

It's incredible and inspiring that you can own an instrument like that for 350$

Absolutely beautiful, that organelle vibraphone type patch is incredible

[@jukeboxfandango]

CP is the greatest budget e-piano. That organelle has some interesting sounds too!

this beautiful. deserves way more views. keep at it friend.

Hey thanks!

KZbinr: stops recording after the first mistake Me: 🤝 I understand you

[@brunomcleod]

Oh yay that’s what this song is called I love how simple it is it just exists there and you don’t need to add lots of things to it

[@UltraCodex66]

The second the first note was hit I thought I was listening to Who Can You Trust

[@lesliestevenson5261]

Ahh...nearly! I know the feeling! Honest of you to put it up. Sounds brill.

[@alexis_suarez]

Sounds great! I want the whole piece!

[@made.online2149]

Beautiful! I recently did a Gymnopédie No1 thing as well though I've not finished it. I don't really consider it just a sad song- it feels like 'saudade' to me!

[@albertoromero3431]

I'll hear it!

[@remowo_]

Smoothly beautiful ... cheers dude

[@albertoromero3431]

Thank you kindly

So stoner, that I didn't finish 😅

as if the original wasnt

[@mikec3412]

That's about how far I got into Gymnopedie.

[@TheWorld_2099]

Try to listen to a great piano version of it, on headphones, at night. It’s such a gorgeous meditation.

[@MariaCalfaDePaul]

really nice. I love my cp. Just liked and subbed!

[@albertoromero3431]

I love it too!

[@infn8loopmusic]

this is very nice! wish you would have kept that nice dissonant chord at the end and just kept going. I love a good sour note thrown in unexpectedly.

[@theclancyjack]

please keep uploading!! you have something in you!!

[@cln5510]

very 70s sounding with boards of canada type of texture and effects to the sound.

[@namelesswalaby]

This has a criminally low number of views. Beautiful rendition

[@EcoCentrist]

spending all this money on gear to achieve the perfect imperfect tone... right there with you, very well done

[@platinumdynamite]

Wooah, things got dark there.

[@brdane]

A good way to think about it, a guitar pedal is just a standalone analog audio processor, with a foot switch. A man can really make an analog console with just guitar pedals and turnout a pretty adequate mix.

[@watchesvideosonline]

Would be great if somebody uploaded the full song with these effects.

[@shaunmiyagi]

Wonderful.

[@albertoromero3431]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@cihanyuce]

Man very nice video bravo

[@garaughty]

Lovely work on this Alberto !

[@Anticlimactik]

Hi Alberto, we love the texture, could you make the full song? that'd be awesome. (We have this weekly dance session and we like to play something smooth with granular textures at the end of a dynamic set. That would work beautifully!)

[@doublespiral029]

i love CP

[@kaselier1116]

This could be the most chill thing ive evee heard. I'm not sure you could make something more lowkey

[@seangallagher271]

Incredible !! Where did you get the suitcase/stand?

[@hanshansen4267]

How do you supply power for all devices? Looks like a very practical setup!

[@albertoromero3431]

Thanks! Just a multi-contact plug underneath

[@romanyel]

I add a wah pedal recently to the Reface CP and it sounds great.

[@zadaziri6584]

Love the performance but disagree it's the saddest song! This is quite a happy song to me lol

[@thomwd]

Sounds lovely! What patch are you using on the Organelle?

[@albertoromero3431]

Thanks 🙏 It's "Sampler with delay" and I loaded vibraphone samples. The wobbly sound is from the Shallow Water pedal

[@DaveAndStuff]

So nice!

[@CatFish107]

Nice. Petsonal taste would would have less sustain and warble on the higher pitched notes. Just toned down a touch. Bit that's a very minor gripe

[@infn8loopmusic]

Quick question for yah, where did you get that awesome flight case? And... Does it fit the reface and the keystep together inside?

[@albertoromero3431]

Thanks! It's brand Magma, originally intended for a DJ turntable and a laptop. I no longer have the Reface because it wasn't fitting, but another of my friends has a flight case that fits. Just be sure to double check the internal height of the upper stage.

[@infn8loopmusic]

@@albertoromero3431 thanks so much for the reply and taking the time to respond.

[@albertoromero3431]

@@infn8loopmusic My pleasure. Btw, I intended to say I no longer have the Keystep. Also I changed the Shallow Water and Capistan for Meris LVX. If you do your own version let me know to see it!

[@zaxolotl]

I always mess up at that part of the song too haha this song's super long and has a ton of chord changes so i only really ever get that first part super pretty though! i love the instrumentation...

[@daniel6959]

Amazing !!! 😍 More technical question - what kind of case is this ? Wish to have similar setup with my pedals and Yamaha Reface

[@albertoromero3431]

Hi! I don't remember exactly which model is. But it's a DJ flight case, Magma.

[@FungalHarmony]

Is that sweden by c418? It sounds just like it, brings me back

[@notaspectator]

I love it. i will hook it up to pigments and push 3 and see what I can do within next 2 months.

[@BobsBand]

This sounds great. Except personally I'd exclude the note-bending.

[@magnificus23]

for my taste its a bit too much with tremolo effect, but i love the video!

[@Yu-Fei-Hung]

Nice nostalgic vine 👍😎

[@wmJsa171]

You need to post this like a audio video pls

[@hristiangeorgiev5236]

Hey, great setup. Great playing. Love it. Can you please tell me what kind of case do you use? I have a dawless setup similar to yours but I struggle with finding a case like this. Thank you.

[@albertoromero3431]

Thank you Hristian. This is a flight hard case for a DJ mixer, which conveniently was almost the same length as the Reface. However you might need to double check the dimensions. The one I have can't be closed with everything I have on the top, and just for an inch.

[@HennessyHendrix]

so cool!!! :D

[@arthurminot2308]

Hi nice cover ! Which patch are you using on the organelle ?

[@albertoromero3431]

Hi Arthur. I used the sampler but loaded my own vibraphone samples. The shallow water is connected after the organelle and help to give this mellotron texture :)

[@COMPROCUPOCADIVI]

That music sounds very 70'ish

you're good. mistakes are part of life. KZbin is full of videos of musicians playing everything. exceptional beings. very difficult scales, latest generation musical techniques.....but......they never play anything. Zero. They run quickly from one side of the musical octaves to the other, but they don't play anything. You have chosen a very particular musical author and you have brought out sounds of your taste.... there is research, there is interest, there is imagination, there is love for music and yes!!!!! there is also the error. I like !!!! I congratulate you. And may God make all karaoke musical backing tracks, Midi musical backgrounds, etc. etc. disappear from the earth... in this world of guitar samples... keyboard samples, percussion samples... etc. etc....I saw your video and it gave me hope that some human being, some musician in the soul, still exists. 🖐️🖐️🖐️🖐️🎹🎹🎹
