Default The making of "Heroes"...

Maybe you have seen this already, maybe not... I found it very interesting.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03g...channel=social

Quote:
Producer Tony Visconti uses the original master tapes from sessions at Hansa Studio in Berlin to get to the heart of the title track from 'Heroes', one of David Bowie’s best-loved songs.

We hear the song built up by individual contributions, including those from guitarist Robert Fripp, Brian Eno's 'synthesiser in a briefcase' and of course David Bowie's powerful, harshly emotional vocal.

This film with Tony Visconti is an extended version of that on the BBC Four programme Music Moguls: Melody Makers. It closes with the iconic music video for 'Heroes', directed in 1977 by Stanley Dorfman.

thanks for posting.

but thanks to that awful stupid BBC - they demand a flash player, since 2 years deprecated, but they seem to do not know or care - I cant see that video.

any chance its on youtube? I wouldnt hesitate to use in case of BBC -files (illegal) torrents. but no luck or I didnt search good enough.

"okay, erin. ERIN, OKAY".

Don't mean to poop on your party, but I am wondering what this topic has to do with Reaper.

Well... I view the lounge to be for non-music related stuff. Maybe I'm wrong, but since it is music related I think this thread fits here.

Besides, "This is a forum to discuss all aspects of REAPER, and life". To me this thread definitely (and especially for someone involved in music production) is an aspect on life

The funniest part was where Tony was talking about how David had added the tambourine, and how great a percussionist he was and I just thought there is hope for me yet. I just need to concentrate on mastering my tambo skills.

And here I had previously been in accord with whomever said that the best place for a tambourine was outside the studio as far away from the mic as possible.

Is 5:11 a broken fader?

Ps, I went for Tony Visconti and knew the reference BBC one (visuals) set filters to recent and, I could ignore the spam vids and knowing the length of the vid, sort of.

I love the parts about using the tape reel for a cowbell replacement and how David Bowie added the secret kiss into the song.....
