Stars - Chapter III Part 4 (ft. Maliq & D'Essentials,GBS,Dewa Budjana) Preview

Few days ago I got this melody in my head and thought about the keytar.

In the early 80's I got my first keytar, Moog Liberation..
but not until I got the Yamaha KX5 I started to explore deeper and approach it more like a guitar than playing it as an ordinary keyboard.
I also made my own samples from different guitars into my Emu sampler and played them thru various pedal effects and guitar amps.

Thru out the 90's, though I was playing much jazz, I was actually listening to more rock guitar players than any other instruments, but somehow I did not play my keytar as much as I wanted to.

About 3 years ago I started to play the keytar again after not playing it for sometime.
Still using the same approach as I did before, only now I use my laptop as my sampler player and Roland AX Synth (I named her "Magnolia") as my controller.

So here it is.
A quick sketch I made as a tribute to Hendrix, Holdsworth, Van Halen, Satriani, Vai, Eric Johnson and many other guitar players who gave me so much influence and made me want to become a guitar player on the keys :)

Enjoy,
IL

CHANGE

Check out the new single "Destination Hope" ft: Chris Turner & J. Ivy. "Destination Hope" is the first single off Maurice's new album "The Mood". 
Available March 24, 2017. 

“Destination Hope represents a place of encouragement & inclusion in place of resentment & division, a place where there is no racism or discrimination. A place where people have respect for one another, their communities and the environment. It’s very easy to get caught up in the negativity & that leads to hopelessness. In these trying times, I sought to create a mood that would uplift people and give them a sense of hope. The destination is in the journey to get there; to actively & compassionately stand up for something better for ourselves & future generations is to cultivate hope.”― Maurice Brown
