MathOfInsects Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 ...that had a scene where the protagonists go to watch a symphony concert, and it's one guy playing a big, circular (as I remember it) synthesizer? If this rings a bell, drop a line here or by PM. Thanks, KC.

mate stubb Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Not Phantom of the Paradise? They used T.O.N.T.O. for that movie. http://draconicarcaniahangout.weebly.com/uploads/2/6/4/3/2643812/8590857_orig.jpg Moe --- "I keep wanting to like it's sound, but every demo seems to demonstrate that it has the earth-shaking punch and peerless sonics of the Roland Gaia.

MathOfInsects Posted June 2, 2016 Author Share Posted June 2, 2016 No. In this movie, he's performing publicly, and the fact that it's one guy is something of a joke or visual punchline. I think I remember the synth being lit up in some way as well. But the idea of the brief scene is, look how funny it is that music could someday be made like this (which is the part that interests me, and the reason I wish I'd kept at least three brain cells intact in case I needed them someday).

richforman Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 > But the idea of the brief scene is, look how funny it is that > music could someday be made like this Anachronisms like that can be funny. Similarly there's a scene in Woody Allen's classic comedy "Take the Money and Run" where Woody's character is at a job interview and the guy asks him, "Have you ever worked with a high-speed digital computer?" Woody stammers, "Yes....my aunt has one." Funny that back in '71 when the movie came out, this was an absurd, ridiculous statement, that somebody's aunt would have a computer!

I remember going as a kid in there like in 1978. I couldnt believe it. I think a Dutch firm owned it but due to the business model and the internet it shut down.

ksoper Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 I was (and still am) so disappointed by the mothership landing in Close Encounters. Earlier, when the smaller ships make their appearance they sing with the most gorgeous synth tones. The mothership lands and what do we get? Tubas. Fucking tubas. Williams had a chance to create something truly otherworldly and blew it. No pun intended. 9 Moog things, 3 Roland things, 2 Hammond things and a computer with stuff on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEB Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 That was a high pressure gig. I would who have probably hit a clam and caused the plot to go totally "Independence Day".

I probably need a med check. Funny, but that's the one Star Wars toy I own. My take on it: Max plays microtonally and I want no part of it. We should demand that someone re-issue the Muppets' Dr. Teeth figure, with keyboard. Oh yeah, that's heading for the top of everyone's To-Do list, sure it is. Also... "The 5000 Fingers of Dr. T" was seen as a surrealist kid's nightmare, where endless piano lessons are given on an instrument whose keyboard snakes around a vast space. They seemed to hate it, but I envied the hell out of them. Of such strange layers are keyboard types made.
