Cant believe Vangelis is well in his 70s and still going strong

Uma música de uma sensibilidade genial. Aliás, toda essa OST é uma obra prima!

A song of great sensitivity. In fact, all this Blade Runner OST is a masterpiece of Vangelis!

This is Piano in an Empty Room from Vangelis' Blade Runner Trilogy 25th Anniversary album released in 2007.

Vangelis plays it on an acoustic piano with beautiful ambient room noise. I tried to replicate the feeling by boosting the pedal noise on my synth, and I added some pads that get pretty dark and intense towards the end.

The instrument is a Nord Stage 2, using a sampled Steinway grand piano and virtual analog synthesizers controlled with an expression pedal, and a generous amount of reverb.
