• Bowie cover using an electronic Stylophone! ?

  

  2019/12/19

  The Stylophone is a small electronic musical instrument that was popular in England in the 1970s as a toy instrument for children.It is a small synthesizer for children that produce sounds by tracing the keyboard with the attached pen. Although it is a toy musical instrument, it was also known to have been used in a variety of rock classics, and there is also a currently active Stylophone Orchestra at Britain's Kingston University.
  It is a musical instrument that has been loved by a wide range of musicians. David Bowie incorporated the instrument early in 1969 in the sessions for his hit song "Space Oddity". Bowie also took out the Stylophone and played "Space Oddity" on it on the stage during the Japan tour in 2004. And now in 2019, we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the release of "Space Oddity". This time, the Kingston University Stylophone Orchestra recorded a cover of "Space Oddity" with Bowie's producer Tony Visconti. The cover version also includes vocals. It is a fantastic, impressive arrangement in Mondo Music style that does not lose by much to the original.
  The cover version is a must-hear for Bowie fans, and currently the project can also be seen in video.
