Vangelis - Blade Runner (End Titles) - Cover

Blade Runner (End Titles) by Vangelis (Cover) Like most boys growing up in the ’80s, I loved Harrison Ford movies and wanted to see Blade Runner, but my parents wouldn’t let me see rated R movies. We eventually got a VCR, and at some point I as able to rent the VHS tape. As you know, the music can leave one in awe... especially if you are into synthesizers. Music was much more expensive and valuable in those days; I could not imagine a world where people can now download or stream more music than we can ever listen to. I was always saving to buy an instrument, and so I didn’t even buy a CD player until around 1990. I would only buy used CD’s, and one day I hit the jackpot and found Themes by Vangelis, which opens with the Blade Runner End Titles. What an amazing piece... so many sounds. I like to talk about keyboards far more than normal people like to hear about them... and some have asked about making a video about my set up. So I’m making a companion video for keyboardists and fans of the Blade Runner soundtrack where I talk a bit about the sounds I used. If you know what sounds are where, it may even be more enjoyable to watch:
