Poor poly-instrumentalist fancies a whole orchestra backs him

(1/4) > >>

Dr.Riton:
What money can buy... I'm almost famous now! A whole orchestra finally recognized my talent and is willingly supporting my unconventional improvisations, unstopably beating through novel harmonic progressions, and tirelessly helping deliver to the world an entirely new brand of subtly disparaging contra-rythmic explorations.
Their name ? The PSRs770.
At the grim prospect of being slightly outnumbered by a younger, hardly-fancier ensemble, they accepted a reasonable cachet to accompany me along what I'm sure will be years of worldwide entertainment.
I could somewhat play, although poorly, some violin, and some piano. I did take a year of trumpet, too, and loved it, especially with accompaniment tools like irealpro, but it's a bit too physically challenging; it's all about producing a nice sound. Other instruments I cannot play include trombone, guitar, clarinet. I enjoy some synth (waldorf blofeld) together with expressive keyboards, sequencers, although see it as a lonely musical pleasure.

After minutes playing with the PSRs770, randomly selecting a big-band rythm and picking some sax ensemble and trumpet, I couldn't help it : I was Quincy Jones conducting a shiny brass ensemble with Miles Davis reaching for new feelings in old tunes at Montreux... Of course that needed a bit of work and rehearsal after rehearsal the rythm was becoming better, the harmonic progressions landing somewhere, and the music I happen to love emerges, magically, and with tears in my eyes. For hours.

The public may not be ready for that kind of entertainment. Only your mother loves you that much, and will support your most repetitive experiments. Yet I must confess a prejudice: arranger keyboards restrict the field of possible music. What I'm discovering is that it essentially eliminates note combinations that are not music, and discovered how much creative control remains in your hands.

The PSRs770 was initially intended for my son. Why, sorry sonny! I get to be the star.

PS: many thanks to the community here for their messages about the 770, which helped trigger the purchase before it became too late. Saved me about 400€!

Dr Riton,
that was such a cool and enjoyable post to read. :D

As for the arranger you are talking about,
tell that to those who complain about the sounds of even better keyboards.

No, we cannot have all the members of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra every time we switch on our keyboard
(too many wages,who can afford to pay them all anyway:P )
but still we have so many orchestras for all kinds of music just to be controlled and directed by our left (bad) hand.
Wellcome my friend and have fun  :)

Toril S:
Yes, welcome, my friend, and it was a very enjoyable post! That was what made me buy a keyboard. All that sound out of just one instrument, a full orchestra at your fingertips! I have a sense of wonder every time I sit down at my keyboard. And as for the bad left hand, that goes for me too. i never was a good piano player, but who cares when that magnificent orchestra backs you up :)
