When I was in music school, I played this game with my classmates where we would play trios and you had to switch up a part at the end of every line. 😂 Usually alcohol was involved 😁
The most amazing part of this video is when everyone stops being amazed at what it looks like and just shuts up and realizes how expressively they can play on it. I wish I could afford something like this..
@@vetlerradio Hahaha well I don't believe there's anyone quite like Cory Henry in any "prog metal" bands What he did was much more than shred the harmonic minor scale at 200bpm
@@vetlerradio yeah prog metal has some pretty insane musicianship but you really can’t compete with the pure musicality of the world’s greatest classical and jazz musicians.
I will still remember the time i was in a music store and was improvising on the piano and i started playing the Spain riff and then someone else in the store actually responded by playing the second part of the riff, i was so surprised and we continued to improvise on the song!
These guys must spend half their lives high on music. What talent! To have such music in your soul and the physical talent to express it. Must be a real thrill to make the instruments for musicians of this caliber as well.
Good Lord!!... this is a masterclass. two masters improvising a tune on a new flat keyboard thing. How badass is this?? im hooked on Cory Henry music now....
I think it's a great concept, but a lot of the demo videos are oddball artists doing oddball conceptual music. Now that I've seen this video I can totally see Chick and lots of other keyboard players saying "WOW - got to get me one!" He's among the most creative and open-minded musicians out there in my opinion - would be a great endorsement if they can catch him playing one. You guys are obviously very talented yourselves - great job!
Jordan Rudess, the virtuoso keyboardist of Dream Theatre, is a great advocate of new and novel instruments and he has videos on youtube playing the seaboard!
Corey Henry is working his way to the top of the jazz ladder in my opinion. He plays with Snarky Puppy which is easily one of my favorite jazz bands touring right now. If you haven't heard of them and you like jazz, check them out. Family Dinner volume 1 and 2 are stellar. I love all their stuff though.
Every time I see a video of this thing, I get the feeling that is is more entertaining for the player than the listener. This totally reminds me of the beginning days of MIDI.
Has he ever played this instrument before this point? I could believe he just walked up to this thing that day and started cranking out magic. I am a bit biased though. Love his work with Snarky Puppy!
@@supyalld638 nah really. Having no keys to press down upon takes some time getting use to, as you have to align your fingers perfectly on the center of the keys or else it's out of tune.
I love the Roli Seaboard and want one.. OK! So don't get me wrong but, I can see that for keyboard players who have dreamt of a keyboard that could bend everything and anything to your hearts desire that you don't go overboard on the Seaboard bending everything and anything until it becomes over kill. I would be the same at first I'm sure. But I DO love it.
I have never played one of these so the big question is: is it possible to play STRAIGHT NOTES on this WITHOUT any bending? If it can also do that, awesome. Otherwise I may need to take a couple Pepto-Bismol before playing 😉
