Blade Runner - End Titles by Vangelis [Cryonaut Tribute Cover]

- Blade Runner was released in 1982, when I was 10 years old, but I didn't actually see the film until I was well into my teens. And even though at that age I didn't fully appreciate the story yet, the movie still made a huge impression on me, not only for the breathtaking visuals, but musically as well. Vangelis' iconic score was perfectly matched to the bleak, but mesmerising dystopia of future Los Angeles. I fell in love with the film, but even more with the soundtrack, and particularly the End Titles final track.
End Titles was one of my first exposures to the beautiful blending of silky strings with arpeggiated synthesizer patterns. And though I probably wasn't aware of it at the time, that track would take root in my mind and go on to influence much of the music I make today, which is laden with plenty of synth arpeggios, and just as many orchestral elements, especially strings.
For this piece, I wanted to pay proper tribute to the original arrangement of the End Titles theme, but then advance it into new territory by adding a more pronounced beat, shifting the key here and there, and even bringing a dash of the epic Opening Titles melody into play toward the end.
The video is a straightforward homage to all of the wonderful cinematography and characters of the movie. Of course I don't own the rights to any of it, and all the rights belong to their respective owners. I haven't monetized this video, nor do I want any money because of it. It is simply my humble way of paying tribute to one of the great influences in my life, and of saying thank you to its director, cinematographer, actors, and crew, as well as to composer, Vangelis and to conceptual designer Syd Mead, both of whose influence is saturated through every fibre of this film. Thank you so much for all you have given to the world.

I still can't believe that this movie is connected to Alien and Predator universe... hats off to Readly Scott ❤❤😮😮
Best remix of the classic track I've heard in so long that I can't remember a better one!
Thank you so much! I appreciate it! :)
The magic happens after 3 minutes: The music leaves the restraints of the original version and sets out to a newer and fresher version of the BR End Titles.
At this point I love it.
Absolute masterpiece. Had Vangelis heard this he would have been proud of what you've done with his track.
Wow - thank you so much! I appreciate the kind words :)
well... now i have tears in my eyes... this was one hell of a trip! every little clip you chose had that certain dystopian signature... the mix of these and your version of the song made it even more relatable to that future... hard to explain but yeah! you did it right! awesome work!
Wow - thank you so much, PMT! Glad you like it! :)
This is incredibly wondrous and nostalgic. The song is of a whole other magnificence. Wish I could find it to download.
Hey, I'm glad you like it! You can download a high quality MP3 at my website, cryonautmusic (dot) com. Go to the "music" page and it'll be at the bottom for a free download. Enjoy! :)
I love this movie.
One of my favorites.

MASTERPIECE.
Wow! Thank you so much!!! :)
I’ve said in the past that the soundtrack is half the movie.
I like this cool cover. You jazzed it up a bit.
In fact, I liked the film principally because of the soundtrack
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
It was 6 min 23 sec well spent. This compact form of the movie brought me so much emotions. And the music elements that you have added to the original score is brilliant!
Well, thank you in return for such wonderful comments! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! :)
found this a year late to the day please keep making music this is beautiful!
Hey, thank you so much. I'm just glad you found it at all, ha ha! And yes, I'm working on new material. I'm busy on two new cover songs as well as my second full length album. Stay tuned! :)
...sometime between 1992 and 1995, can't really remeber exactly, my father got a job as a cab driver, for a fancy Romanian hotel.
He was, as most east europeans back then, very curious, anxious to find and discover the new era, what happens in the west, what music do the westerners play, and why!
He met a lady that gave him a casette, one with the Vangelist and another one with Bob Marley.(i mean, a completely bizzare combination) Very strange choice i would think, but then again...
This made a tremendous impact on me: i remember listening to vangelist and bob marley, and asking my self - what is this? It was very, i mean, extremely different music than what i was listening back then.
Strange and curious times! Very strange
But then again, i met 2 of the most capable and loving human. beings of that century!
Hey, much of my teenage years were spent listening to Iron Maiden, Steely Dan, and ABBA. Good music is good music, and I think it's great when a person can experience and appreciate so many different genres. :)
What an outstanding tribute. Im in awe!
Very interesting exploration on Vangelis' work. Highly enjoyable. It can be perfectly a videogame music!
This is amazingly well done on all fronts. Thank you for putting your time and energy into this project!
Hey, you're more than welcome, Michał! Comments like yours are the fuel that keeps me going, so thank you for your kind words! :)
Stunning work mate. Blew me away.
Awesome - thanks so much, Mark! I really appreciate it!
@@CryonautMusic you're welcome dude. Love your stuff.
I LOVES IT !
Genius! This is art beyond art!
Wow - thank you again, SBS! I'm so glad you've discovered my music on CZcams!
@@CryonautMusic My pleasure, believe me :)
"It's too bad she won't live! But then again, who does?"
Is true
Maravilloso film, de antología, la he visto más de 300 veces y siempre encuentro un detalle nuevo que antes no vi, esta nueva mezcla me hizo erizar la piel, hermosas notas, hermosa música, muchas gracias Cryonaut, eres un genio!!!
¡Vaya, muchas gracias! ¡Me alegra que te guste! :)
Perfect
absolutely best cover of this piece
I know this is a very late reply, but thank you so much for your kind words! :)
It's hard to directly compare derivative works with their originals, but this one gives it a run for its money. Bravo! A couple of listens later and it's time to listen to your UNATCO remix again, too ...
Thanks so much, George - I really appreciate it! :)
This Tribute is *incredible*! 🤩 Immediate sub - and I've been listening to this tribute cover and your other original works over and over and over! 🥰 This along with a number of your other compositions is going on my synthwave/cyberpunk playlist as inspiration while I work on a little sci-fi comic that I make just for fun. 😄 I am so glad that I have discovered your work - thank you so much for posting it for the world to see! 😁
Yes😮
Super remix ...Top 🇨🇵
Thank you so much , J.B.! :)

I started watching your videos after stumbling across your excellent rework of Deus Ex’s UNATCO theme. You really are talented and how you blend visuals and music is brilliant. I love what you’ve done with the end titles - please do keep it up!
Hey, thank you so much, Matt! I'm glad you found me and I really do appreciate the kind words! :)
Really nice !
Hey, thanks!
Beautiful ! Better than the original ! Wow.
Thank you so much! :)
Sin duda para mi la mejor película con diferencia de ciencia ficción de Ridley Scott las con dos distintos finales a elegir cual es mejor una joya 💎 en todos lo aspectos visuales efectos especiales música actores para visionar de vez en cuando y disfrutarla. Masterpierce en principio no fue un rotundo éxito pero muy pronto quedó como película de culto .....

Hi the music is fantastic i don't know if you did but there is a game of the movie released in 1997 in tip one click mode adventure games
The whole thing sounds wonderful but I’m particularly fascinated by your execution of the main arpeggiation - what synth did you use for that?
Thank you so much! I believe I used Native Instruments' Monark (their answer to the MiniMoog) for the main arpeggio. Pretty easy to tweak and get that vintage sizzling saw sound.
Another awesome track. I was wondering, do you use Ableton or similar software for your songs, and what synth(s) do you use to get such a good sound?
Hey, thanks, Thomas! I appreciate it!
I've always used Logic Pro for my productions, but the plug-in synths have evolved a bit over the years. I still use Alchemy a lot (which is a fantastic default synth included with Logic). I've always used a lot of Native Instrument synths as well, primarily Massive, FM8, Absynth, Monark and Razor. They're all included in N.I.'s Komplete bundle.
More recently I've picked up Omnisphere, which is an absolute beast. It could easily be the only synth you'd ever need, as it can pretty much do anything any of these others can. The new arpeggiator on the latest version is mind blowing. I also just picked up Arturia's Pigments 2.0 and am having fun exploring all the weird ways it can create and morph sound. It's a great synth and Arturia is doing a great job keeping it updated and putting out new presets.
In all honesty, I don't think I really need this many synths, especially if I knew a bit more about sound design. I tend to like to explore presets and then tweak them to get the sound I'm after, so in my mind: more synths equals more presets with more ways to tweak them. I'd probably save some money if I just learned a bit more about crafting my own sounds from scratch, but to each his own.
If I were to recommend just a few from these, I would say Alchemy is the best bang for your buck if you have a Mac, as it's included in Logic. After that, probably Omnisphere (although it's a bit on the pricey side). A close third would be Massive, simply because it's been so popular for so long, there are tons of presets, tutorials, etc. available everywhere for it. Of course, Serum seems to be the current king of plug-in synths, but I have yet to pick that one up. From everything I've heard, it's very user friendly, sounds fantastic, and has a ton of tutorials and presets available. That might be my next purchase :)
Anyway, apologies if this is too much detail. I've actually been considering doing some videos showing my subscribers my studio and how I create my music, but I'm not sure if there's that much interest. If you'd like to see that sort of thing, please let me know and I can start putting vids together going over my creation process and the equipment/software I use.
@@CryonautMusic Amazaing thanks for all the information. It would be great to see how you make your music / a little tutorial, I always find seeing stems / workflows helps with learning music making. Im really just starting on learning production myself with Ableton, with a lot of your tracks being inspiration (especially the Deus Ex remix and Halcyon). Ill definitly checkout those synths thanks!
@@thomascahir That's great, Thomas! Ableton is a very popular DAW (for good reason) and there's a ton of good tutorial content on CZcams for it. And even though I use Logic, much of what I'd be showing/teaching in my own videos would be useful (hopefully!) no matter which DAW you were working in. Thanks for the support - now I'll have to figure out how to film myself and my workflow... :)
@@CryonautMusic Keen as!

This is interesting and catches one's ear very well melodically. However the drums and mix overall needs to be redone. The Drums are to up front and not blending well with the rest of the mix.
WTF! To say this was brilliant is to call Everest a hill.
