[@Novaheart1998]

Oscar lived near me, like just blocks away in my neighbourhood in the suburbs when I was younger, but I never saw him out and about even to cut his lawn. I knew where he lived but I didn't want to bother him. I knew he had a home studio with lots of gear, I'm a musician so I was into that stuff, I had my own studio also back then, still do now. I really wanted to go see his studio, too bad I never did!

It's because this so-called lo- fi hip hop is not new at all. In that case I've been doing it since 1987. 😁

[@MrOtistetrax]

That’s because the beat was added in the edit. This “lo-fi” track was created by cutting together bits of the video, looping them and adding drums. Oscar didn’t make it.

[@jermainelong1843]

Thank you so much for uploading this! Special glimpse of OP in a very different environment. I knew he dabbled with electronic music but until this point in my life never saw it with my own eyes. There's an element of an old dog teaching himself new tricks!!! He didn't do it by halves though, eh?

The likes of Herbie have been getting prototype synths direct from the manufacturers since the 70s

[@oldplanetmedia1629]

Stevie too, they had a big ongoing competition

[@rasalexa]

It’s true that pioneers like Herbie Hancock, Stevie Wonder, and Michael Jackson were ahead of their time, partly because they had access to groundbreaking equipment like modular synths, which were expensive and exclusive back then. This access undoubtedly contributed to the iconic status of many of their hits. Today, the landscape has dramatically changed. The democratization of music technology means that almost anyone can access a vast array of synthesizers right on their phone. It’s a shift that has made music production more accessible and inclusive, which is incredibly exciting

Thank you 👍 I made it in Ableton and didn’t see the video till after it was done. I feel the same way.

[@phonkyfeel1]

The pocket of that groove is very insane. You can feel OP pulling back on certain rhythms and pushing other ones. I’d love to know who the drummer is-it’s hard to keep the time incredibly tight. That’s exactly where a lot of drummers have ZERO skill. They might be able to play a bunch of different beats, but when playing with other musicians, those others musicians will pull the time forward and back-a good drummer has the steady quarter note INTERNALIZED and doesn’t budge, even when hearing otherwise. I bet 15% of comment readers will understand this from real life experience, but kudos to OP but also that drummer!!

[@TheWorld_2099]

It’s a breakbeat…just a 2-4 bar loop. You can even hear that it’s not looped super tight, every time it rolls over it rushes a little bit, which means they should have raised the pitch slightly to make it fit better. I don’t know who the original drummer is, but in the 90s there were tons of breakbeat CDs you could sample.

[@juiceclementine]

It sounds like Dexter Wansel - Theme From the Planets

[@josiahamaze]

That was added later and was a Loop lol

[@TheWorld_2099]

@@josiahamaze I don’t think it was added later, he was definitely jamming to that loop That’s a very late 80s, early 90s era breakbeat

@@TheWorld_2099 definitely was you can hear the difference in audio quality. One is a digital recording and one is from the video

The way Oscar embraced modern technology back then was astonishing, considering he was an old-timey jazz guy. He was a big fan of the Atari ST., which is usually associated with EDM.

[@uv77mc85]

The ST was used for every type of music in the 80s and 90s. Every recording studio had one. It was the pre DAW way to record

[@LucyJuicyStardust]

This is such a feel good bounce, really brightened up a tough day. I'd seen the original clip before a few times, but never caught the little "Doompa-doo-doo" he does until hearing it looped. Such a subtle detail, but just adds to the beauty of this. Great stuff

One thing I have noticed about great composers in the 20th and 21st century is that they are curious about the sonic possibilities that present themselves. Oscar Peterson was an extraordinary talented jazz pianist but in this video he is just exploring the possibilities of his electronic studio. I find that quite interesting.

[@lars1588]

The Synclavier is criminally underrated and forgotten. Thankfully it's been resurrected today with the Synclavier Regen.

yea or maybe it's in its time. current day lofi attempts to recreate the sounds from a time past

[@vinnycastro7101]

Lofi as a genre has been around for decades. It's just that back then you had to search for it instead of a KZbin video crediting it today

[@ZeRo-yc7zf]

I don’t know shit but I’ve been making beats for years and studying jazz theory and history for a little over a year. Lofi uses stupidly simple chord progressions with synth sounds that would’ve been new & experimental in the 70s and 80s, and uses slowed down drum breaks, or synthesized drums that sound like slow breaks, and slaps a filter on it to make it sound old. Not that much to it. Oscar Peterson on the other hand, brought in sounds on the keys that innovated jazz still to this day. So to me it’s really no wonder that he just lightly fiddles with a synth with a drum break playing and it sounds just like lofi

[@petervanpuyvelde8959]

You might be the only one …
