A walkthrough of the synths of Deadpool and a taste of the Studio Time with Junkie XL to come! More info coming soon! SUBSCRIBE to never miss an episode! C O N N E C T www.junkiexl.com / junkiexl / junkie_xl / tomholkenborg
I am so glad that Junkie XL does these kinds of vids. I would love to see other composers as well, like Harry Gregson-Williams and Hans Zimmor doing these type of videos. Anyway, great work and I could've watched an hour or so with this :)
I agree. Tom goes very much in-depth. There is however a company that creates video profiles on many film composers such as Hans, Gregson-Williams, Tom (of course), Michael Giacchino etc. Just go to www.soundworkscollection.com and click on the 'videos' tab. There's loads of in-depth interviews and behind the scenes footage of the making of scores! Really cool website.
this is most likely not the case with all of his work, but i remember seeing this thing about interstellar and how hans wrote/composed the pieces but then had somebody else actually do all the synthwork and everything for him
This studio is unlike anything I've ever seen. Speechless. wow, seriously. meticulously kept, amazing collection. This should be an exhibit at the Met in NY. These machines are modern art.
Thanks for taking the time to make this video for us. It's a real treat to see your studio. You must have an absolute blast working with all these amazing synths.
WOW! This is insane! I loved that Euro-rack. It looks like you have almost every kind of module in it. Would DEFINITELY watch a video of you just messing around with it to hear what it all sounds like.
What a humble guy. He is one of the top movie scorers in the world and takes his time to show us his studio and how he does what he does in all these videos. Mad max us by far one of the best soundtracks of all time. Thank you for your time Tom.
Sick. The Beat It sound for Deadpool was so good, unless I've missed it, I wish he'd referenced it in the movie. You could take a photo of how the cables are arranged as a way to 'save to preset', lol.
+Silrian777 Don't forget the hundreds of knobs, and patches to patch bays, etc. I'm sure there's a "way" to note it ... but yeah man ... no thanks! :) Record it while you've got it! This is why the Memorymoog and preset keyboards like the Polymoog were invented in the late 70's early 80's... :D That Synclavier sound is pretty easy to find ... www.uvi.net "The Beast" and you can play it all you like.
This video was awesome!! Nice to see all the different sounds from various synthesizers and learn about how you incorporated these machines into your work. Thank you!
7:15 Very humbly I can correct that the DX5 was released in 1985. The DX7 was first released in 1983, as well as the DX1. Interesting tour. I enjoyed it a lot. DX5
Reading this comment at 6:30 made me want to skip BACK thinking I must have missed it because by that time he had already introduced such a vast amount of legendary devices...
Haven't seen the film yet but I'll listen closely to the soundtrack when I do. Great videos! I love how you always experiment with analog tools and mix modern and old worlds.
Watching this got me all excited! It's so cool seeing all the nice machines behind the music. It all looks intimidating but also like it would tons of fun to experiment with. I've not had my hands on a keyboard for a long time, this makes me miss them...
he's collecting synths for more than 30 years. piece by piece. you can't afford this at once. maybe he has renounced other things. but it's still a king's ransom.
I'm sure this was built over the span of his extensive career. First heard his stuff in the mid nineties. Interesting stuff on his wiki page; had no idea he worked with Sepultura, Fear Factory, etc.
Wow awesome collection of gear... why to rush Tom? There's so much to talk about you could have done a video way longer!! I'm glad to see you're not only have a nice collection of synth and modules, but you also use them in your successful projects. I hope you'll do a video about your VEP servers and such... you're a real inspiration! thank you for your videos...
This is just a teaser for what's to come. I'm sure he'll be doing 40+ minute walkthroughs like he did for Mad Max and Run All Night, when Studio Time returns. It'll be more about Batman v Superman and Deadpool. :)
I just read this the other night! www.factmag.com/2015/08/08/the-14-drum-machines-that-shaped-modern-music/ A bunch of your drum machines are in it. Greta video and I hope to see more!!
VSE says DX5 came out about 1985. Which would imply DX5 was later than DX7. DX1 is said to have some out 1983. Which would make it roughly the same time as the DX7. No clue of exact timing there. As memory serves, FM synthesis would have first shown up in a Yamaha organ. Check out the very rare FX-1 ( no clue how many of those were made; single digits I presume)
Lost me after the first five minutes! What a fabulous set up, what a very, very clever guy, and I can only just work a laptop! Thanks so much for sharing you work and interest, and skill! Love this.
In the 70/80s musicians/producers had a few synths and sounds, and they made iconic tracks. These days they have thousands of sounds and presets, but the music is interchangeable.
The Unprecedented President of the US who's even admitted he doesn't read and it shows. Half of his inner circle have left him and called him a child/moron he might actually be a fucking childish moron. I can't believe that 40% of dumfuckistan still approve of the fool.
Collecting piece by piece through 30 years makes it payable without being superrich. it's still a lot of money, but we don't know how strong he had to save it, or what he had to renounce for it.
DanielNL, Where did he get the money to buy all of this equipment???? He probably purchased each piece seperately and has decided to just hang onto it until it stops working completely. There have been multiple "new age ambient space music" people who keep an instrument from the day they buy it until the day it stops working completely. Take a look at google images "synthesizer set-ups". There are dozens of studios in peoples personal homes that are filled with instruments that they've been collecting for decades.
