On this livestream we will be joined by Paris & Amber of the analog R&B outfit KING who have been in the Sound Lab all week creating presets for the Moog One with Sound Designer Kevin Lamb.
Took me a bit, then I realized the group’s name is We Are King and they’re amazing! Albums and a special session available on Spotify. Truly terrific R&B... go girls!!
Wow - really nice. Awesome to see some serious musicians using this in different genres and different musical ways while still being creative and expansive. This instrument is going to lead to a lot of fine music...
Paris Strother’s playing is very inspiring... I already found her part in the Moog One presentation video was the most pleasing to me, now I’m going to have to check more of KING’s works :)
Okay, I LOVE this, but why they do my girl Amber like that? She's basically standing there like a bump on a log for nearly an hour. Let that angelic voice riff to a few instrumentals or do a "new" version of one of their songs using the various tonal changes of the Moog. I'm sayin', Paris. lol. #Keypushers2020...we comin'! ✌🏾 Still dope though.
"The Story" @ 41:44.......😩🖤💚💙💜💖🍃🙏🏾🌟🎶🎹😍 the best chord progression in a song EVER. The colorsssss. Paris is a musical genius. KING is my all-time fav neo-soul group 🙌🏽 can NOT wait for the new music...Sheesh...
The woman in yellow is so beautiful! Jeez!! great jazz chords. VERY happy with my Subsequent 37...but after playing a One in Asheville all I can say is, " I gotta get me one of THESE!!!"
i should have said earlier, in the introduction video, it was King’s sounds that i loved the most in the whole video, and that is reflected in this video too...the machine becomes a comfy piece of furniture in her hands, and wow what a player!
So when 2 timbre slots are on the screen but only 1 slot is red, does that mean it is using all 8 or 16 voices on the “timbre”? Trying to figure out why some patches have 3 timbre on the screen but only one is red? Thanks!
Yeah it's too bad. Paris was playing some nice chords and beautiful pads, but I felt we didn't hear the full sound from them. But It was nice to hear a good player demonstrate the sounds.
Let's also not forget the third talented member of KING who was absent in the live stream, Anita Bias ( who I was hoping would be present during the live stream as well) who is also vocals alongside Amber Strother in the group.
They seem to have a nice relationship and he's probably explaining things because he's on camera doing a demo for a new product... but, yeah, her playing is so beautiful ya kinda just wanna hear her play and forget the product demo. If you watch ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3PogsKLhOsw.html you'll see her opinion of him and learn that he recently passed away. RIP!
Congratz on finally getting people in who can play keyboards instead of just jabbing at it and producing atonal fart noises. respect to them! However, the synth still sounds vanilla AF and way over-priced for what it is and what it sounds like (vs the competition that sounds better without the need for layers of EFFECTS). Also nobody at moog has still worked out how to record the sound properly. SMH.
