Craig Evans Group: Members Posts: 253 Joined: Sep. 2004 Posted: Mar. 27 2006, 02:19 In Mount Teide there is this quiet guitar sound that occurs from 2:19 to 2:37 that reminds me of a similer sound from the title track on "Voyager" (2:13 to 2:32 on "Voyager title track" and again 3:21 to 3:40 time frames on "Voyager title track") I was wondering... How does Mike Oldfield create that flutey piano sound from his sunburst fender stratocaster in 1982 when he didn't start using the Roland VG8 guitar multi-effects unit until 1992? -------------- "It is good to be on Horseback" - Mike Oldfield "On Horseback" "(Insert "The Thunderstorm" here)" Back to top

I really though it was a synth... maybe the Fairlight or the Synclavier... Hey, maybe he indeed used the synth... but using the guitar as the source of sound... the same way as the voice is passed through a a synth or a vocoder.

Just play the track at half speed and it sounds like MO's usual guitar sound from that time. Heavy compression, slight distortion, no treble.   -------------- www.facebook.com/thesiliconscientist soundcloud.com/the-silicon-scientist‎ Back to top
