In this video, I talk about the Christopher Nolan movie The Prestige. The one with Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale. Then, I move on to show you all how to make an 80's Pop Ballad in a similar style to Phil Collins, Bonnie Tyler, Cyndi Lauper and the Bangles. Finally, I talk about the instrumentation I used, focusing on the A-200 Sample library that powered the electric piano that drove the song. Then I play the song. It's entitled "I Need to Get Blackout Drunk and Go to the Strip Club" . I hope you enjoy it.

Oh and check out these links:
