Heath Finnie has released a free album, Bartosho, that celebrates the sound of the Yamaha CS80.
The CS80 is considered by many to be the greatest analog synthesizer ever created. It’s a heavy, unwieldy beast – but it also offers fantastic sounds and incredible expressive control of the sound.
The Yamaha CS80 is also familiar to many as the signature synth of Vangelis.
Here’s what Finnie has to say about Bartesho:
Here is an album called ‘Bartesho’. I’m currently offering it for free here on my site for a limited time.
It was improvised using nothing but a Yamaha CS-80 synthesizer and some reverb to add some “space” to the recording. I hope you enjoy it. The mp3’s are encoded at 360kbs for better quality.
Finnie says that his influences include Tangerine Dream, Brian Eno, Cluster, Neu!, Can, Ashra, Harmonia, Boredoms, Acid Mothers Temple. To my ears, though, Bartosho brings to mind Vangelis’ love it or hate it albums Beabourg and Invisible Connections. The album alternates very mellow ambient sections with sections that feature edgier sounds.

This video captures an improv with Vangelis – style synth sounds:
It was supposed to be a cover of soil festivities , been working on the microkorg to get roland vp-330 string sound from it. Just decided to do a bit of live playing based on the opening track instead. Apologies for the mistakes and bum notes , it wasn’t rehearsed

We haven’t posted any mind-numbingly bizarre synth videos in at least a day or so – so check out this one:
There’s a Yamaha CS70M involved and some Yamaha CS80, too, and some dudes talking in French, and then a girl that looks like she’s from a Coke commercial or something joins in, and then a groovy guy starts playing the drums and then a bunch of squeeky clean 70’s kids start jamming along. And then the French dudes nod approvingly while a kid who can’t sing very well plays a synth solo while another guy roller-boogies.
Who know’s what’s going on here?
