Show HN: A Sonic Tribute to the Blade Runner Movie and Vangelis

audiosampling · on Nov 4, 2019

Iconic movie Blade Runner (1984) takes place in a dystopian future which was imagined to have happened by November 2019. So, I had the plan to come with a sonic tribute on that date. And here we are. You can play with the varied tracks - even animate the sliders. Among others, you will be able to recreate the mood of the opening scene in the original movie, and classic Vangelis moods. As the different stems loop with different timings, the whole creates ever changing variations. The iconic Yamaha CS-80 sounds have been recreated using the modern Moog One - an all-analog synthesiser too. This soundscape goes really low in frequency, good headphones or a subwoofer, are highly recommended. Enjoy!

For Blade Runner 2049 the sound/music crew located an original CS-80 to compose portions of sound for the sequel.

Great background for the whole of November 2019!

The CS80 is entirely too thin though hehe - but then again it s hard to replicate

I wish I had access to a CS-80! Tough I understand what you mean, the thinning is also due to EQing, as each slider must provide room for the others in the mix (so they each are equalized, similar to mastering). So, it was deliberate from me. The middle slider, for example, is anything but thin : https://mynoise.net/NoiseMachines/november2019SoundscapeGene...
