KUSO TAKES ON SPACE ODDITY WITH HELP FROM TV “Can you hear me, Major Tom?” Fifty years ago, following the success of the Space Oddity 45, Bowie helped popularise Dubreq’s @stylophone_official when he appeared in press adverts endorsing it. He was also keen enough on the gadget to resurrect it for Slip Away on 2002’s Heathen album, even playing it live right up until his final tour in 2004.
And while we wouldn’t presume to know what he would or wouldn't have liked, we have a hunch that he would have appreciated the @styloorch (KUSO) reimagining of Space Oddity, recorded with the original producer of the album, Tony Visconti. Here’s an excerpt from the press release. + - + - + - +
Producer Tony Visconti has lent his talents to KUSO’s unique rendition of Space Oddity, created entirely from recordings of the vintage analogue synth. The session, held at the Visconti Studio at @kingstonuniversity, revealed new layers 50 years after its original release.
Visconti said: “This version is a bit like Alice in Wonderland falling down the rabbit hole and going to the land of Stylophone where the creatures have a pen with a wire attached. It was a complex session – to get it right we had to be meticulous. If one person made even the slightest mistake we had to punch in again and, with nine people playing at the same time, you never quite knew what was going to happen.” Mr Visconti was so impressed by the orchestra and the arrangement, written by @kingstonunimusic academic and Bowie expert Dr Leah Kardos (who created The Stylophone Orchestra), that he has recruited them to be a part of his new album, due for release in 2020.
Dr Kardos said: “Working with someone of Tony Visconti’s stature is really special for all of us and a great opportunity for the students. When we received the delivery from Dubreq, I blurted out that we should start a Stylophone Orchestra before I’d even really realised what I’d said. It’s since become a reality and is, I believe, the only one of its kind.” + - + - + - +
