Józef Skrzek plays Minimoog and church organ... again!

Filmed by Krzysztof Miller for film by Ilja Stankovic - short, moving improvisation for small church organ and Minimoog with Roland RE-201 tape delay.
Check www.skrzek.com for more info and skrzek.bandcamp.com for plenty of tracks with Moog.

[@Timecop1983]

If this was played in church i would be there all day and every day to praise!

[@iamvoltage]

me too :)

[@nastyakotenko8123]

Timecop1983 me too

[@Madbull01]

Amen

[@gorillaau]

We would not be worthy. :-)

[@Blahbevava]

Same...Instead most churches these days seem to insist on endless hippie acoustic guitar music.

[@Tomo-q4l]

Gdy byłem czynnym organistą Józef Skrzek zainspirował mnie. Do 2 manuałów dostawiłem Korg R3 ze zrobionymi moogowymi dźwiękami. Naprawdę. Organiści!!! Nie bójcie się. Preludia i improwizacje przed pieśniami dzięki takim połączeniom sprowadzają Niebo na Ziemię. Amen. Mistrzu Józefie. You Great!

[@devicefactor2290]

my church will have a mini moog, a Jupiter 4, a prophet 5 and a Juno 60. come all ye faithful

[@elsongs]

And your synths shall be forgiven.

[@testohtoby]

jupiter 8* could be epic

[@planetfh]

Testoh Toby You know what would be really epic? A fucking Oberheim!!!

[@sexypoetry]

.....@planetfh....fucking oberheim falls into the legal category of bestiality, try the sheep instead, this is also illegal but largely tolerated, due to welsh farmers making it so ubiquitous.

[@Electric_Crystals]

Amen 🙏🏼

[@ClergetMusic]

The sound of the Minimoog speaks to me like no other synth can. Skrzek plays excellently.

[@maciejszumny6919]

Same.

[@mercedesvan-doors34]

This is everything I loved a bout prog when I was a lad. It kind of sings your emotions. ans Skrzek is brilliant at it.

[@PeterWalkerHP16c]

This is one of the most moving pieces I've ever heard in 53 years of music. The fact it uses two of my favourite instruments is icing on the cake.

[@silverlicious2086]

It is truly complete and I agree with how you feel.

[@dasboot5903]

*It is just a Maestro of the keyboarding ..... great musician, composer and vision-er Mr. Jozef SKRZEK .... key person in the Polish rock super group "SBB". Check it out - if you like !!!!*

[@Tritium5678]

Minimoog and a church organ can sound so beautiful is unbelievable

[@markosparko7873]

I don't know why but this transports me back to 1973 and being 10 and prog rock on my cousins record player, magic. Deep growl of the church organ and the alto ethereal voice of the Moog. Hope heaven has a synth section.

[@dragonsword7370]

Mark O' Sparko I now want to learn piano and organ Jay to play and hear some of zeppelin great stuff. In the light would be am awesome experience to hear on some of the big living organs!

[@Coelacanth97]

Canadian prog rock band Saga used Moogs and Minimoog prominently in the late 70's and 80's...awesome idea to combine it with church pipe organ!

[@hpatss4966]

Are you referring to close to the edge? I would be

[@hpatss4966]

@@Coelacanth97yes combined moog and church organ in 1973 on Close to the edge and tales from topographic oceans

[@AlainHubert]

The fact that this was all improvised, and this beautiful, is a testament to this man's incredible talent!

[@muddysledge]

This man can bring tears to the eyes without words. Absolutely stunning. And beautiful.

[@joekennedychannel]

I come back to this video every so often to listen again. One of my favorite pieces of music of all time. Truly beautiful

[@silverlicious2086]

I know and understand your feelings.

[@sunshine514montreal4]

Playing this music in the middle of a war field will have both sides hugging in minutes...

[@supertruckertom]

That would be nice.

[@BetamaxFlippy]

I think there are different compositions that will do far better for that. This piece is a moment alone with the universe.

[@adolfnoise4673]

had a really bad road crash that left me in the wheelchair with constant pain, but at least i got, after 3 years in court, the money from the insurance, to buy a 70ˋs model d. hallelujah!

[@piotrkrebs]

amazing still 2023

[@zbynekba]

Mr. Josef, your music has been making me happy all my life. Your harmonies are incredible. Thank you for the joy. I will never forget the concert you gave in 1979 in Olomouc, Czech republic. Dzienkuje

[@robertcudny1839]

Amazing, I still have in the back of my head Flamengo and their tune Poprava Blond Holky seen on Polish TV back in '69.

1:19 - He doesn't need notes because he is playing straight from his heart. I don't need words to understand that this mellody is about God his creation and love. Simple and beatiful.

[@malcolmbyrne]

I'm amazed at how well the two instruments pair. Jozef is a master artist! Thanks for sharing this.

[@Timecop1983]

This is amazing! Probably the last combination i would think of, but it sounds so beautiful!

[@7hotfuzz7]

Love your music too!

[@Diapason16ft]

Diane Bish did this sort of thing around 1981 or so using an Arp Pro Soloist synth with the Ruffatti at Coral Ridge church. "Bish, Bach, and Baroque" was the album. A shame the combination isn't more mainstream.

[@brmordaz]

Really? Rick Wakeman did it, just to mention one example from the top of my head.

[@ampliano]

you guys forget pink floyd

[@noahp.trotter1278]

Interstellar had pipe organ and modular Moog. Great combo!

[@norwayguy1976]

Finally. I am glad this style of music exists..

[@chrishack6825]

We are so blessed by such a great artist, Thankyou.

[@podman666]

I've lost count of how many times I've watched this video!

[@lee_at_sea]

Józef .. if you read this .. thank you so much. I return to this again and again. I share it with friends .. and it is always loved. I hope all is well with you in these tough times lately, and that we may all hear you play again soon. Such beautiful work. Amazing. Heartfelt. Peace to you. Thank you.

[@chillhousemix]

Amazing composition and execution

[@fen4554]

Mmm.. Those chords played out on such rich sounding instruments, stands up the hairs on the back of my neck. Glorious.

[@ericgiguere1618]

That was ABSOLUTELY brilliant, played with such emotion, I had goosebumps all along...

[@GustavoMoradel]

I keep coming back to this piece and I am overtaken by the beauty of this interpretation every time! thank you Mr. Józef!

[@danton8302]

This actually brought a tear to my eye… damn what a piece!

[@omisan59]

Tears in my eyes

[@FrankWilleke]

Still one of my all time favourite synth performances. Wonderful playing!

[@filon_synth]

Dech zapiera w piersi. Mistrzowskie wykonanie. Piękne rzeczy można wyszukać w necie. Serdeczne pozdrowienia dla Pana Józefa i oczywiście dla pięknej Pani Eli.

[@Karolajn952]

to jest to czego nam brakuje dzisiaj pozdrawiam

[@nixboaski]

One of the most beautiful, moving and inspiring solos I've ever heard. And I've hear a lot. And I'm saying this without taking in account it's an improvisation! I hope Jozéf is doing fine during this quarantine and he'll be able to share his amazing music with us soon.

[@jeredorsey]

I keep coming back to this video time and again to be stunned, deeply humbled, and then inspired to be a better musician. And when I feel I may have gained something, the process is painfully and beautifully repeated.

[@aLiquidReality]

The sounds remind me of "shine On you Crazy Diamond" - I love how it all sounds!!

[@keytar7317]

More of this please, sir. I absolutely love it. You are GREAT! Best wishes to you and your family from California USA!

[@chrishack6825]

What a great combo, Mini and Organ, plus effects.

[@chrishack6825]

A Minimoog in every Church? I would attend every Sunday if it was so.

[@awaken77]

Why not? It blends very nicely with organ sound

[@Randystudio217]

And now a reading from the gospels of Keith, Greg, and Carl

[@ferdynandthegreat2921]

Oh Don't do as any favors

[@anguerandelamouliniere3070]

Yes, yes, yes!!! Simply great!!! I call this "giving a soul to instruments" Two instruments, a little delay, a real natural reverb... and this beats any complex setup built around computers and plugins.

[@jonnycumtastefully]

So very beautiful, wonderful combination of Church organ and mini moog.

[@BetamaxFlippy]

I will remember this video forever. Truly a masterpiece

[@paulfoley8294]

It was seeing Jozef's first organ and Minimoog piece of music that led me to the second (brilliant piece of music.) With that in mind....I found SBB! What a chance to see and hear great music. I have always thought that music one of the art forms that allows us to look at the world in a different spectrum through which we can see and feel experiences of emotion, compassion and an understanding that, language, culture and basic decency is the human paradigm that will unite us all. The thing the ruins us all, without exception is: politics, greed, religion, and all three in a different order. Respect to you all my friends. Love life. Love music. Love and cherish the concept of being able to be creative. Pauly.

[@bornagainbornagain6697]

This was an instrument in the hands of a pro that did it justice. Such warmth and expression to blend the two instruments. No flash or pomp just emotion and feelings that show a true musicianship and this was thoroughly enjoyable. Thank you for posting a tasteful example of using the mini as an addition to a huge instrument to express beautiful music.

[@ingolf7411]

Organ and Minimoog ... both wonderful instruments ... played by a master. Thank you Józef

[@groovealate74]

I still go to mass, Josef.. I love your work. ❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻❤️. Please continue to profess excellence.

[@GeorgiosZaimis]

As an organist myself who loves the synthesizers, I really dig in this video! A marvelous combination of organ and synthesizer!

[@fernandoaiello4362]

I watch this video everytime I want to feel warm and loved.

[@Areuxii]

IF ANYONE IS WONDERING HOW TO RECREATE THIS SOUND ON THEIR MINIMOOGS.... I tried to mirror the knob settings I could see in this video. I've been noodling with a free Model D vst. What a powerful and dynamic sound! From what I can see, these are what I guess the settings are (I could be wrong): All oscillators are switched on and their volumes are set at 12 o'clock Noise Volume is switched off All oscillators are very closely tuned All oscillators are at 8' octave setting Oscillator 1: Square Oscillator 2: Smaller square pulse width Oscillator 3: Smallest square pulse width Filter modulation: On Oscillator modulation: Off Oscillator 3 control switch: Upper part is depressed Glide: On Decay: Off The VCA and VCF envelope settings are too far to guess what they are. I hope this helps! :D

[@aandarcom]

***** Thanks :) I'll try it with Arturia Minimoog V Original and Elektrostudio Model Mini with VoS epicVerb. :)

[@Areuxii]

I used the Model Mini by Elektrostudio :D Hope it goes well.

[@ryanl3251]

+Notorious Noodle-Neck you probably will not be able to get it with a vST

[@kreativtverksted]

+Kenneth Baskin Awesome duuude! Make some videos where you go through some sound designing on your moog. Maybe some Pink Floyd ish? Thanks mate!!

[@Areuxii]

Sands Kreative Verksted I own a Sub 37, not a Model D (Maybe some day I'll get one!). But I will definitely do that when I get the time because I did find a sound that is pretty Pink Floyd-esque!

[@analogstudio5222]

Beautiful song, I love the sound of a minimoog, still with a combination this solemn, magnificent combination. Thank you Mr. Józef

[@agirotto1]

This must be the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. Thx so much.

[@adrianh63]

Bravo 👏🏽 You really do justice on the Moog. Looking forward to future videos

[@pizzamanmep]

amazing! This is the kind of music I love hearing on a synth! Especially on the minimoog

[@d.od.3463]

You, Sir, have an excellent talent. It is nice to see you play in the Church. I only wish we had someone in a church that could play like that, do concerts with the beautiful music such as this song you just played. Thank you very much for your song. God Bless you!

[@silverlicious2086]

Absolutely beautiful piece with the building resonance. I love to play my Mini also and this is very inspirational. Thank you Jozef for putting this out there for us to hear.

[@wojciuirl]

Znakomity muzyk i perfekcyjne wykonanie. Minimoog daje świetny rezultat w połączeniu z organami Hammonda albo tak jak tu kościelnymi.

Love the Minimoog sound here. It's so warm and ORGANic, like a native addition to the organ.

[@philipgahan9649]

If I could hear music like this in church I'd go, lovely!

[@RocknJazzer]

you can, minus the moog of course. The organ music was the only thing I liked about church.

Great musician, amazing, Proud to know him personally. I ask God to give him many many years to create fantastic music for all of us.

[@theforrestknightt]

I absolutely love this! Just such great melodys.... :)

[@witchdokturr]

Every time I listen to this I break down & weep, Easily one of the most moving compositions I've ever heard. The next time someone says they think electronic instruments have no soul, show them this video.

[@pancudowny]

I must admit: When I first saw the link, I was apprehensive... figuring this would be another display of typical pipe-organ music being playing on two greatly differing devices, just for show. But then I sat, and I listened & read the description, and then listened to the work the whole way through... ...And I'm glad I did. I haven't heard such a beautiful combination of pipe-organ & Moog-synth since Wendy Carlos did the main theme for "Tron" (1983)! Bravo!

[@travisbickle4340]

Panie Józefie, to było coś wspaniałego.

[@greatvedas]

I never know who this guy is until today... But now Józef Skrzek... you are my angel ! :) ( referring to his talk in the end )
