Yamaha CS80 - Chaos

[@positivelydark]

Fantastic composition. Vangelis would smile.

[@thejollyjoker187]

Chaotic improvisation indeed, but the 70s Vangelis vibe is really evident. Congrats.

[@javiceres]

I sincerely wish people like you*, who love and deserve this instrument, woke up one day and found it standing beside them. *and hopefully me

[@stefanomatic]

This instrument is amazing. And you make it sing. As someone else posted, it's incredible to think that an electronic instrument so old has still not been matched by anything since. I've never heard anything else with such an otherworldly sound. It's a shame these things will eventually wear out cease to exist. I hope someone like u-he can fully capture its essence one day.

[@mik300z]

thankyou! and you know this particular Cs80 was so pristine it looked like it just came out of the box- I was so pleasantly surprised and shocked by it's condition-spotless - it was owned by a well known artist I can't name, but to put your worries at rest, the cs80 will be around for a long time yet;-)

[@MelloCello7]

Thats how I feel about the Ondes Martenot

[@therealmodernwalking9695]

Arturia's V-collection is by your side now, pal.

[@SeanHyland]

Deckard's Dream by the Black Corporation is a hardware replicant of the CS-80 that first came out a couple years ago.

[@foto21]

u-he ain't gonna capture this. They don't even make the best digital synths out there. I'm going to have to go to Switzerland to rent some time on one of these. They are SO retro 70s and 80s, but still nothing else like them. It's a weird contrast, retro and yet the top of the heap.

[@javiceres]

CS-80 + Rhodes + Massive Lex reverb = Heaven The milestone Vangelis carved upon which Synthetic Heaven was created

[@Lichfeldian--Suttonian]

This is your “Spiral” with the borrowed CS80. Magnificent!

[@DaveBessell]

Lovely exploration of the CS80.

[@KOSmusicovers]

Finally I managed to watch your channel with peace of mind!!! What a composition!!! An improvisation masterpiece... worthy of the greatest composers of the 80s!!! The track takes me to another dimension and it's a real pleasure to see you play!! These are my favorite tracks, the ones that come from the soul of the player. The CS80 is truly MAGNIFICENT, how lucky to have been able to play it!!! I am really happy to have met you my friend and I wish you all the best!!! Continue to create these AMAZING tracks :) :) :)

[@Chrispy01a]

The phrase "you can't play a CS80 without sounding like Vangelis" seems to follow this synthesizer wherever it appears. I would ask why would you not want to sound like the legend that is Vangelis if the opportunity arose to play the legend that is the mighty CS80? A really tremendous tribute to both - thanks.

[@foto21]

I'm gonna be cocky and say I can play it and not sound like Vangelis, but have yet to get my hands on one to prove it.

[@Mordred478]

My brother, you make my heart so glad with what you play and the sounds you make. So good to get another video from you, it's been way too long. Wow, all those vintage instruments! You must have gone nuts. And that CS80. I remember Kate Bush was very fond of it, used its whistle sound on a number of tracks. Now that I've reached my dotage , I find myself feeling alone with my ancient fandoms, things seemingly no one would even remember, if they ever knew about them. Finding a guy who resurrects the Vangelis magic of my youth is therefore an unexpected treasure. I don't know if you've ever spoken to him, but I really feel if he heard your stuff he'd be happy in knowing someone will carry the torch after he's gone. Cheers.

[@chrisroro9173]

congratulation mik for your cs80 !!! a perfect intemporel sound for my mind, thank you...................

[@DavidBoura]

Thank you for this moment, the best CS80 demonstration i've seen so far!

[@germangranero6489]

Exelente, felicitaciones, me encanta tu estilo musical y ese aire vangelis!!!

[@paulschilling2996]

so wonderful. I imagine this "working backwards" is how Vangelis often put together his tracks at Nemo.

[@unroberticoporfavor]

What a beautiful tune! How lucky you are to have been able to play such a beautiful instrument!

[@timothydavidhobbs9628]

Really glad you could not resist!

[@xplorer3475]

really fantastic. listening to the end at the moment, it could totaly have fit bladerunner 1 or 2 , everything, it's beautiful

[@PeterP_1stmoondog]

That is really nice Mike, I'm seeing hover-cars everywhere ;)

[@johnoneill2148]

blown away - by the sound and the soundscape you created.

[@TH3_FURY]

The most beautiful chaos i ever heard ! Fantastic musical journey !

[@lonophonic117]

0:01 I wouldn’t be able to resist either tbh 😅 Since a fantastic theme for a masterpiece of a film

[@MyRYLO]

simply " wow!"...you made that classic instrument sing . that would be a dream come true for me. my fav sounding synth ever ...awesome!! :)

[@synth4ever]

Sounds amazing, incredible performance. Thanks so much for sharing this, you really made that CS-80 sing.

[@filon_synth]

CS80 is a great monster! An amazing sound. This is a very good video!

[@Booger6995]

Mick on a CS80. Love IT. Is that a twinkle I see in your eyes. WOW!!! You seem to fit right in with such an expressive beast.

[@TuDr3294]

That was incredible! What a sound!

[@mik300z]

thanks:-)

[@theartist124]

Always great to hear you playing, what a cool toy the CS80 is!

[@49minutesago]

Recognizable yet original. Great variation on a theme.

[@Miliussauce]

Incredible synthscape! Had me flyin. CS-80 demos are always impressive but that was exceptional!

[@8bits59]

I just found this channel and I love the synth work you've got here, especially off-the-cuff like this is. I'll be watching, hope to see more good stuff from you!

[@Psychlist1972]

Love those sounds! You really played well and showed off all the instruments here. Man, that CS80 *drool*

[@justinb9387]

sounds super - love the cs80 - still the nicest keyboard ever made after all this time - unbeatable.

[@skrie]

I love it. That CS80 sounds just so good. Nothing sounds like it and you play it SO well. Thanks for showing everyone how it's done. I think I like this more than Soil Festivities. It's got a Bladerunner vibe but very fresh.

[@chrisrowand]

Fantastic sound.

[@testohtoby]

Simply unbelievable!!!

[@Vincenade]

That's just awesome !!! You are a very talented lucky guy 👍👍

[@Kapouille]

That finale is fantastic.

[@mik300z]

thankyou! it means a lot when people listen to the end of a long video. respect:-)

[@machiwoomiapoo]

Excellent! This is the first song everyone should play on this synthesizer! It's amazing! Thanks for uploading this! :)

[@waynetcampbell]

wow - An amazing demo! thank you. I almost bought one back when they first were available. I wish I had a time machine!

[@MechaDom]

Still one of my most wanted synths to this day, so happy you finally got to play on one.

[@mik300z]

me too! thanks

[@mattsynth]

Awesome, like a dream come true, sounds great. Bravo my friend.

[@mik300z]

hi Matt, yes a dream come true indeed! thankyou

[@HERUVIMIUM]

WOOOOOOW Mick, so awesome :)...I also am very happy for you that you could play this LEGEND :D

[@mik300z]

so was I:-) :-) :-) cheers!

[@KeithBoleen]

If Vangelis won't or can't do the soundtrack to Blade Runner 2, I hope they contact you.

[@edinjahic1190]

Instead, they destroyed the feel of the movie with Zimmer QQ (I guess we need better movie directors? lol)

[@Indianabones007]

So glad I seen the link today of this! On the day I heard of Vangelis death, this is an incredible tribute, thanks for sharing! Hope you are still playing

[@mik300z]

Thankyou, I am indeed. What a shock, so sad , so sad.

[@Indianabones007]

@@mik300z a shock indeed, a sad time. He left us some great music though which I’m enjoying listening to today! Glad you are still playing

[@BOB_T]

I love the Chaos ! WOW great video one of the best thing i've heard since 1492 !

[@WesterlySunn]

Really beautiful stuff...

[@jaylloyd7246]

Envious me! Really good thanks world class for me ! Well done keep goin

[@MrGiloine]

Just amazing...... this synth is just a dream for me !!! The aftertouch seams fantastic isn't it ?!

[@mik300z]

yes the aftertouch is so expressive, i didnt have time to really get used to the speed/or various parameters but hopefully I will get another chance to play it

[@Dragonotakux]

Wow such an amazing sound... love this magical sound.. so much like blade runner.. awesome job

[@mik300z]

thankyou!

[@flashchrome]

How did I miss this. You actually got to try a CS-80... I'm so envious...

[@berrys5631]

Sounds verry good!!!

[@three-leggedcat6241]

Nice play and sounds!!

[@gabrielproteus3172]

This is amazing! Sounds just like Vangelis!

[@retrosound72]

This was incredible. Thanks for posting👍- What a sound

[@kempiu]

Amazing piece of music as always! :)

[@vanmichelgeliss8674]

Tellement incroyable cette machine. . Merci mike..🤗🤗🤗👍👍👍

[@wheeldo]

Incredible. I have an ebay watch setup for CS80s. Last one was on sale for £25,000 so I decided to pass on that one! Hope you get to play it again... few people could do it the justice it deserves.

[@lee_at_sea]

Nice work. To be able to do this with a CS80 without owning one is an impressive feat.

[@howardhutchinson1631]

No chaos, a perfect concert for advanced listeners.

[@mik300z]

What a lovely comment, thankyou sir!

[@basehead617]

This is incredible, thank you.. a new instrument to crave..

[@Superman-x6c]

[@GabrielMunera]

We need a full concert with you, Mik.

[@hang-sangitch]

[@mik300z]

[@mik300z]

[@giannisarkSR180]

Wow very nice!

[@bony_fernandez]

[@RT8083]

How can an instrument so old be unparalleled till this day in its aurora :)

[@myleftnutts]

@Rory Thomas. Rory that is a question for the IDIOT manufacturers.....they can't EVEN replicate their own shit!!!.

[@RT8083]

Laughed so hard, yet you are so true! :)

[@marxmusic7187]

You amaze me always...I would like to play that CS80. How about contacting the producers if they plan a new version of Bounty or Blade Runner ...

[@snikeplassken]

Amen! Welcome to the Nirvana of synths 🙏

[@schimansky45]

very good :-) love this

[@philippezsiga1125]

u are so lucky fantastic

[@WrvrUgoThrUR]

0:00 The synth version of "Stairway"

[@cashman61068]

YOU ARE A FREAK OF NATURE IN A GOOD WAY, WOW HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE. WATCHED SEVERAL VIDS OF YOURS AND LOVIN IT,KEEP EM COMIN,CHEERS!😃😃😃

[@mik300z]

hey, thanks a lot- glad you enjoyed it! I have a new album coming out next month, stay tuned;-)

[@NicklasIngels]

Wow, you are lucky to get to use a real CS80 (and it does sound amazing). Good work :)

[@ElektroNoiser]

Wonderful!

[@CS80undermybed]

Lovely 👍.

[@samborn7120]

Dram come true man 👌

[@olyam70]

brilliant !

[@SachaTholl]

You play the cs80 so beautifully :..)

[@boomerhgt]

Brilliant Bladerunner ...

[@willortiz3547]

Hello Mik, I recognized the piece Chaos from Blade Runner. I like where you took the music and the effects you used to create a very interesting musical piece. Kudos!.....Will

[@mik300z]

thankyou:-) however the title chaos is a reference to my life over the past few months! all good now though:-)

[@willortiz3547]

Glad to hear it Mik. Sorry for the title error...Will

[@Cesarsound1]

Whata magic synth. It's the time machine...

[@adelldaniels361]

Just Epic. ..

[@steliosmega]

Vangelis Sounds ! Endless ! Nice ! Nr 237 "like"

[@omnipop4936]

Sounds fantastic! Question though: In addition to all the big, rich pads and buzzy leads in your stuff, I'm also always blown away by the twinkly little EP sounds that come in from time to time, like at 4:26. Really stands out in the mix. What reverb do you put on that? Also, what's the lead starting at 8:56? CS80? Thanks. And thanks for making videos again!

[@Booger6995]

I would guess that's the ESQ. Listen to the expression. Sounds like a MIK sound. If not my bad. Maybe Mick will step in and ID it for us.

[@darwinsaye]

In the description he says it's a Rhodes.

[@kentxx12]

Good work..But the CS80 and Vangelis Blade Runner sound and the music...Is just feels like my body is melting into a beautiful relaxation sleep mode and i dream of sheep: :)

[@AdrianKrajewski]

My gosh you are so good... My favourite KZbin channel. Is the synth staying with you? I do hope so!

[@pepinillosazucarados6743]

ID LIKE TO SEE YOU PLAYING DAWN OR NERVE CENTRE FROM THE CITY ALBUM

[@mikaelschloenzig9590]

Miss you and your talented music! Are you still creative/making music?

[@mik300z]

Hi and thankyou, yes indeed I am working on new material for an album coming soon, before the year is out😊 Thanks again Mikael.

[@ferranmelero7727]

All the presets aarre made using the cs 80 ? 5 and the reberb efect came with 1it?

[@bandfromtheband9445]

I would LOVE to collaborate with you! Sometime soon!

[@bennethos]

Amazing...What an opportunity, it's like driving a Ferrari. Out of interest How did the sound compate to your esq 1?

[@mik300z]

Benjamin Budts great question! let me put it this way- the Esq requires a bit of work to replicate the sound but it does a good job - having 3 oscillators and the dynamics you can apply to it- The CS80 I also had to apply those same techniques that I had learned from the Esq 1. but when it happened... wow..the depth of the sound was incredible. only wish I had more time with it! one thing I really did notice The CS80.. when you manually adjust the detune slider at the left of the controls. this makes the Vangelis sound.

[@bennethos]

Tx for your prompt reply. Just bought a DSI pro-2, can't wait to test a brass patch on it. Lots of possibilities. You can add a type of character to the osc to increase the low end for instance, add the random out of tuneness,...

[@Smitakus]

Hi ! Where i can download your music's ?

[@mik300z]

hi! if you go to bandcamp.com and search michael daniels. thankyou😀

[@solomonjenkins9505]

i see a jdxa in the backround, how useful is that instrument? It has a lot of hands on control which appeals to me greatly but im curious if the system 8 is better?

[@gmegas]

Great!
