I'm not complaining, but it seems like a very odd move do abandon the project, and happily release a demo from it. But there’s no argument with Richard any more,’ he adds calmly. ‘We’ve long since buried the hatchet.

Over the years, Oldfield has owned and used a vast number of synthesizers and other keyboard instruments. In the 1980s, he composed the score for the film The Killing Fields on a Fairlight CMI. [60] Some examples of keyboard and synthesised instruments which Oldfield has made use of include Sequential Circuits Prophet-5s (notably on Platinum and The Killing Fields), Roland JV-1080/JV-2080 units (1990s), a Korg M1 (as seen in the " Innocent" video), a Clavia Nord Lead and Steinway pianos. In recent years, he has also made use of software synthesis products, such as Native Instruments. [66] Recording [ edit ] Mike Oldfield Freedom Of City Of London Award". YouTube.

Mike Oldfield remekművét kilenc nagyszerű zenészből összeállított csapat adja elő. A két részes koncert anyagát a Művész állította össze, ki ezúttal a zenei vezetői, hangszerelői és produceri feladatokat látja el. Mike Oldfield személyesen nem vesz részt a világturnén, zenekarában helyette az általa kiválasztott gitáros játszik. De a koncerten és ebben a csodálatos zenében nem a gitáros személye a meghatározó. Ő csak egy, a kilenc zenész között. A lényeg magán a korszakalkotó művön van sor, mely elindította és "naggyá tette" a Művészt. Egy új műfaj alapjait rakta le, de egyúttal megőrizte teljesen egyedi hangzását. Az előadás karmestere Oldfield közeli munka-és alkotótársa, a neves, több más produkcióból már ismert Robin Smith.

That re-recording flopped, perhaps because the so-called flaws in the original had become part of its very fabric. Four years later, the Mail On Sunday did a deal with EMI/Virgin to give away a CD of the original Tubular Bells free with the newspaper. Hardly surprising, Oldfield was furious at the time. “It devalued it in a way. It was like saying, this music’s so old that we’ll just give it away. On the other hand, it marked the end of that era and gave me the impetus to really want to remix it.” The Englishman John Harrington patented tubular bells made of bronze.

Oldfield then retired from recording and performing, and the eight-minute introduction piece was shelved. Now emerging for the first time, “Tubular Bells 4 Intro” stands as a new conclusion to the epic work, and may well be the last piece ever to be recorded by Oldfield. Oldfield and his siblings were raised as Catholic, their mother's faith. [81] He used drugs in his early life, including LSD, which he said affected his mental health. [10] In the early 1990s, Oldfield set up Tonic, a foundation that sponsored people to receive counselling and therapy. [10] He added to his repertoire the MusicVR project, combining his music with a virtual reality-based computer game. His first work on this project is Tres Lunas launched in 2002, a virtual game where the player can interact with a world full of new music. This project appeared as a double CD, one with the music, and the other with the game. During the 1980s Oldfield became expert in the use of digital synthesizers and sequencers (notably the Fairlight CMI) which began to dominate the sound of his recordings: from the late 1990s onwards, he became a keen user of software synthesizers. He has, however, regularly returned to projects emphasising detailed, manually played and part-acoustic instrumentation (such as 1990's Amarok, 1996's Voyager and 1999's Guitars).Oldfield's music was used for the score of The Space Movie (1980), a Virgin Films production that celebrated the tenth anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission. [28] In 1979, he recorded a version of the signature tune for the BBC children's television programme Blue Peter, which was used by the show for 10 years.
