[@ArturiaOfficial]

All our congratulations John for this wonderful and impressive performance. This is absolutely amazing and the source of much pride for all the Arturia team.

[@halcyondaystunes]

Now that's a well deserved comment, amazing John, just amazing.

[@TheJonHolstein]

I think Arturia should lend this guy a Matrixbrute indefinitely.

[@calvin808]

Thank you!!

[@calvin808]

HA! Someday, I will own one of those.

[@djandreezer]

Even Arturia took notice :) well deserved. Absolutely stunning. I'm blown away that this is done using just the Minibrute

[@jackstephen2519]

This is insane, it sounds so close to a real orchestra, unbelievable

[@JamesGiannoni]

Remarkable, can't believe I'm just now hearing this!

[@marcnelson8986]

I have no words. Your skill at sonic manipulation and creation is beyond anything I have seen on KZbin using such equipment. Congratulations on a fabulous piece of work

[@calvin808]

Thank you, Marc!!!

[@garethlc2993]

It really is stunning. Literally made me cry. So beautiful

[@fischek]

this was absolutely amazing and I am a huge fan of Hans Zimmer and the Inception soundtrack in particular - impeccable work!

[@silverfiltersoundlab]

Brilliant. Crazy. I'm speechless.

[@patrickmurphy5842]

first time i have heard someone produce an actual melody from one of these! and its absolutely superb!!!

[@paradoxstate5018]

I'd listened to loads of demo's on the Mini Brute, none of them sold me, and I came on this one by accident, and I immediately thought WOW and bought one the same day I viewed this, and I've even recreated some of the sounds used in this video, all I can say is very well done, no video has ever convinced me to by a synth ever, this is a very beautiful rendition of a classic piece.

[@thelatedentarthurdent5125]

Simply amazing! Absolutely mind-blowing sound design on the little MiniBrute. Well played, Sir!

[@ramonfontecilla1409]

[@AlessandroCarn]

Absolutely stunning. Great work!

[@Nanuke77]

This is unbelievable tune !!!!!

[@AndyVonal]

Saw this mentioned on SonicTalk and had to check it out... Oh man, this is the most stunning thing I've heard in ages. Hans Zimmer's music treated in such an amazing way... heavenly. And what an advert for Arturia!

[@calvin808]

Thank you, Andrew!!

[@paultorbert6929]

Absolutely awesome! What a great work.

[@MichaelBryne]

Spectacular!

[@calvin808]

Thank you, Michael!!!

[@mik300z]

I had to come back for another listen.. beautiful:-) you know John, I hope everyone appreciates the long hard work you put into this. being from a similar background, I know you can totally immerse yourself in a project and most of the time you don't reap any reward. But here you have indeed done something special and I wish you every success in the future. Mick.

[@calvin808]

Thank you, Mick!!!!

[@mobius185]

Great job ! Amazing

[@burkle4508]

This is so amazing words can't fully describe it.

[@ChristopherYabsley]

This is really begging for a behind the scenes breakdown.

[@calvin808]

I am working on the Imperial March next and will be posting progress videos and tutorials on sound design and mixing as I work through it. Stay tuned!!

[@ChristopherYabsley]

Excited to see that! I dialed in a few your patches and was surprised to hear some different tones coming from my minibrute, the piano especially is very sombre for this usually aggressive machine. The strings however are a testament to your production skills as they didn't sound particularly real on their own and dry. Anyway, great job!

[@DJLA]

Stunning!

[@calvin808]

Thank you, Daniel!!

[@LFOVCF]

Staggering production mastery. You have redefined what is possible with a mono synth

[@JosephSanchez-nc6rg]

Excellent! Masterful! Wow! I will now put more time into my minibrute... Thank you very much for the inspiration!

[@Bragheto]

A-m-a-z-i-n-g. Thx!

[@-privat-6696]

Beautiful.

[@benasaro1043]

Thanks to SonicState for bringing this to my attention; incredibly inspiring work! A real technical feat!

[@calvin808]

Thank you, Ben!!!

[@Aftereitor]

Every time i watch this it gives me chills

[@stephaniejane-music]

Hans Zimmer is a favourite composer. You have really captured him here. Stunning. Just blown away by this performance. Gave me chills listening to it 😁

[@calvin808]

Gwynn Music Wow!! Thank you!!! Coming from you, that means a lot!!

[@marinafernandez8522]

genial. maravilloso!!!!

[@silentshadowdnb]

Dude this is absolutely STUNNING work. I can believe how well you have recreated my all-time favourite scores on a single synth haha! Proof that we are often not limited by our gear, just our hard work and imagination. Inspirational stuff mate. Keep up the good work.

[@calvin808]

Thank you, Cam!

[@lukemiles1711]

Thank you, was feeling stressed out and not good and now it's a little better after these 5 minutes. Well done

[@calvin808]

LUKE!!! :( I'm so glad this was able to cheer you up!!! Hope you're day/week is better!!!

[@Psychlist1972]

This is absolutely fantastic.

[@calvin808]

Thank you, Pete!!!!

[@Raku777]

Amazing sound textures woven together harmoniously!

[@dog_solitude]

Blown away by this! Truly awe inspiring.

[@calvin808]

THANK YOU!!!!

[@raphfox]

This is very special. So pleased that it's being recognised by those people, Arturia, Sonic State and others I haven't found yet, that this is up there with the likes of Wendy Carlos. Using a mono synth to create huge, sweeping sounds that once joined together become this wonderful piece of music! I'm sure Hanson Zimmer, I hope he's heard it, will appreciate how good this is? It's certainly motivating me to do more with, not only my Arturia synths, but all my synths, both hard and soft! Thanks John, I hope your future roads will be lined with gold, it will be well deserved!

[@synriser6742]

My favourite composer and my favourite composition! Amazing production that must have taken a long time to make. SUPER!!!

[@calvin808]

Thank you, Don! The entire process, from sound design to video editing, took 6 months. Thank you for the kind words!!

Epic! Thanks John.

Marky wins the internet with that comment!!!!

[@ArthurHendriks]

Thumbs up. Well done Maestro

[@calvin808]

Thank you, Arthur!!!

[@ubiquitousreverser]

Hey John, quite a lot of love, passion, and Time clearly went into this 5:06 song! Amazing!! This astoundingly re-enforces my view on the easily overlooked power of the Minibrute, aside from not having patch memory it is quite a chameleon when it comes to versatility when in the right hands. I really look forward to recreating your patches and learning more from your future posts. And hopefully when I can get some Time myself to share some inspirational music and patches as well. Good luck to you with your future music career as I'm sure with Arturia and Sonic State sharing this people will want your talent and dedication in they're production whatever that may be.

[@MrChillacher]

amazing !

[@orgaeventxtrmvision4372]

Just...perfect ! The original song is really emotional for me, because of personal story between this song and my daughter. And listening your version, some tears came in my eyes. The proof the version Is really good... for me, and my history !

[@calvin808]

Wow - thank you so much for sharing. I'm so happy this brought joy to you and your day. I really appreciate you. Thank you!

[@SoniclayersMusic]

Wow! Most impressive! Huge sounding mix.

[@calvin808]

THANK YOU!! I did spend a lot of time on the overall mix. Much more than I originally planned, but I think we all end up doing that. Biggest challenge was trying to NOT make all the reverb to sound muddy. Thank you for the kind words!

[@RalphBaumgartl]

Awesome cover version and brilliant use of the Minibrute!

[@calvin808]

Thank you, Ralph!

[@Kung_Fu_Jesus]

Exceptional production and programming skills

[@712Jefferson]

Bravo, dude. Bravo.

[@markushorn]

An incredible musical achievement. Congratulations! It is impressive to see what you can do with a simple monosynth if you have the skills to do it!

[@eternalslumber8580]
