This video captures an ambient atmospheric performance by synthesist Daniel Davis.
The composition was inspired by the imagery of the Penguin cover of Arthur C. Clarke’s Of Time and Stars, right.
Davis notes that the performance features the recently introduced Korg Minilogue synthesizer.
Davis has released more than 20 albums, many under the name Carl Sagan’s Ghost.
You can find more examples of his work at his SoundCloud page.
Really nice!
I’ve seen the name Carl Sagan’s Ghost every now and then, but I don’t think I’ve ever actually heard his music. This is stunning, to say the least. Gorgeous music.
Wow! There’s nothing better than discovering a great musician! Thanks Daniel Davis. Thanks Synthtopia.
magnificent! (magistral…!!!) these is my kind of music! gracias!
Uh, since when is a Korg Minilogue black with a different control panel?
LOL. That’s not a Korg Minilogue. It’s an Elektron Analog Keys, which costs over three times as much as a Minilogue.
Just where is the Minilogue in this “Synth Jam With Korg Minilogue?”
Bottom Right silver synth. he starts playing it at 3:30
I fade in a sequence on the ML towards the beginning, use it for a lead part during the middle, and for spacey noises during the end.
That, my friend, was excellent!
Beautiful
Very nice whatever synths were doing the job.
I have that book with the exact same cover. It was my first ever serious SF book. The music seems to reflect the contents of the book more than the cover.
