Live Improvised Modular Techno set
Переглядів 54914 днів тому
New year, new music! I brushed off my stuff after a break over the end of year holidays and brought my kit down to Pirate studios to crank up the volume and improvise some new techno. Playing around with more grooves and hypnotic stuff for a lot of this, with a bit of a melodic payoff towards the end.

Live Modular Techno on my Eurorack system

Live set from my studio this week, building melodies and breaking down into more tribal atmospheres. Random mistake in there when I loaded some breaks into the sampler with the volume up, but I liked the rest of the set so decided it's all part of the improvised thing!

[1 Hour Set] Live Modular Techno and Melodic Progressive House
Переглядів 3542 місяці тому
An hour's live set, starting with a reprise of the piece I put together at The Social last week and going off into improvised, dark and melodic directions. I've been listening to a bunch of old Global Underground mix CDs recently, and I feel like the influences rubbed off. Parts of this one remind me of the kind of vibe in Sasha's Global Underground Ibiza, particularly towards the second half. ...

Dark Progressive House and Techno Live on my Modular Synth

An hour's improvised live set on my eurorack modular synth. Going for the darker progressive grooves with this one, with a bit more melodic stuff creeping in during the second half. I've been inspired by @richardeasel 's live sets recently so trying out taking things in a darker, more groove based direction.

40 minutes of Modular Synth Ambient Music (Live Euroack synth set)

40 mins of improvised ambient electronic music on the modular synth. I should have filmed this but was just practicing this morning so I only captured the audio. I've been working lots in the last few months on melody and harmony, but I wanted to get some more interesting textural stuff into my sets, so this is me practicing sans drums to focus on the textures and such. Been incorporating some ...

How I Play Live Techno on a Eurorack Modular Synth
Переглядів 7 тис.7 місяців тому
A run down of how I've been approaching playing live, improvised techno and progressive house recently. After many different approaches this is where I have landed today, no doubt it will evolve. I am leaning into the modular in terms of making things improvised, on the fly, very few pre prepared sequences, a few prepared samples and loops just to spice things up.

Modular jam to full track- Track breakdown: June
The bass line offers potential for variation, but otherwise everything sounds good. 👍
Thank you! Good advice. Bass is something I find it’s easy to just leave going and focus on other aspects, but I agree it needs to do more than just fill out the low end and provide its own interest. Especially on a big loud system live!
@@mentataudioThat's what I mean. The basslines aren't uninteresting, they're really groovy. I like what you do. It was really just a little thought nudge from me. All the best! 🙋♂️
Beautiful
Thank you :)
Love it
Thanks!
Perfect
Thank you! :)
I thought the background lighting was just a sunset glaring through blinds. Then I realized it's even cooler than that. Great vibes here.
Thanks! Yes it's a lit up background in the studio I sometimes practice in.
I enjoyed jamming to this while cooking. Thanks for sharing! :)
Thanks for listening, glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing as always!
Thank you! :)
amazing track lovly sounds
Thank you!
I'm not a fan of this music but glad you do what you love, keep your head up ! 💪
Thanks for the support :).
Keep it up! I never listen to music like this but I'm really digging it!
Thanks, appreciate the comment and glad you like it.
Thanks for listening. Let me know what you think in the comments!
Awesome jam ❤ 🔥
Thank you :)
It looks so easy to press buttons and turn encoders, but so much time and creativity goes into building the system, learning how to use it, and playing it. Well done. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! Yeah it’s a been a few years journey (on top of about 20 years messing around with music machines)!
The build up leading to 31:35 and the melodic line are superb! The variation around 32:40 is super cool, too. Your live improvisations get better with every new video. Keep it up, dude!
Thanks very much. I’ve been working lots of variations and Melodie’s so appreciate your comment :). Will keep it up for sure!
I really love your live sets. Top notch sound design, composition, mixing, transitions... it's all great!
Thanks very much! Appreciate the comment :). Will keep sharing them as I experiment more!
A bit of a practice session that went really melodic then really tribal. I was trying out new things so there's a few bits with mistakes or parts that go on too long for me, but thought I'd post as I liked the general vibe. Let me know what you think! :)
when is the next one ?
Not sure the date is set but I heard February. factory_setting on Instagram is where they share events.
Awesome! The Geezer next to you looks like he is trying to find somewhere to charge his phone!
Was probably the next person getting set up to play :).
Great fun playing this set! Let me know what you think in the comments. :)
Fire🔥
Thanks! :)
Very cool transitions
Thank you! Been working on just shifting organically from one thing to another.
You're like a wizard!
Thanks Doug :).
Nice! Would love a walk-thru video of this setup and how you play it
Thanks! Setup has developed a little but the same approach and mostly the same gear as this breakdown video here: How I Play Live Techno on a Eurorack Modular Synth ua-cam.com/video/Z_ZZ-0vg-xE/v-deo.html
breaks a way through!
Thanks yeah always good to get some breaks in there!
Insane, i want full set :D
Thanks! Some other full sets on my channel but also will be recording a new one really soon!
OK, new set here! :) ua-cam.com/video/Sc90GxtzspQ/v-deo.html
Cool little club, they hold these events monthly?
It is a cool place! This was a first one from this organiser, building on some events they’ve done in Walthamstow. Hopefully there will be more in future here.
@mentataudio great, thanks will keep an eye out, there's an EMOM that's started at Dash the Henge in Camberwell, mid week though and across the other side of town from me, do you know any other regular events like this?
I head of that event and sounds great. Will try to make it down some time but quite a trek from where I am in East London. The EMOM website just had a revamp and people can list their events now, have a look at electronicmusicopenmic.com/
Loved seeing the breakdown of your setup and this live performance. God bless!
Thank you! Plan to do a breakdown of how I use the sequencer soon! :)
@@mentataudio that would be great. I'm hoping to make an osc version of that controller to use it with VCV rack.
2:19 loving the edgey high melody. ❤ sounds like crystals dancing underground
Thanks! Based on a nice algorithm from the Braids oscillator. I’ve replaced this with a Plaits now which I do prefer but I’m not sure how to get that particular sound out of it!
Great sounds, great work, keep going!
Thank you :).
i like the rack. What case is that?
Thanks! It’s a TipTop Mantis case.
Excellent walkthrough 👏
Thanks glad you found it useful! :)
Love it! Great track
Thanks :). It’s only available on the Poker Flat Bandcamp page I think.
Keep em comin 😊
Will do. Thanks for listening!
Sweet sweet melodies ❤ 🔥
Thank you!
Very nice! What's the main vocal sample from out of interest? 🙂
Thank you! The spoken sample is from ‘A listening meditation’ by Alan Watts.
“My name is Giovavanni Giorgio, but everybody calls me Giorgio and this is my live techno setup”
Humbled! ;).
Glorious
Thanks Doug!
Nice vibe, your set takes me into that special place .inside Thank you 🙂
Thanks! :)
Awesome, smooth intro, sliding transitions, great rhythm, superb baseline. Beautifully structured. Shame there is only 13 minutes worth
Thanks so much! It was a short ish set but posting longer ones on here too :).
@@mentataudio I'll look out for them, keep it up bro 👍🍄🥁
Recorded my live set at EMOM London last week. Let me know what you make of it.
Huge respect pulling all it on modular hardware, the intro is something else!
Thanks very much! Lots of practice and development but now I've got a system and an approach to improvising and playing live I'm enjoying it a lot.
very careful
Thanks!

After 1,5 video I am already subbed. 😄 Nice tunes!
Welcome aboard! Thank you :)
Nice! 🔥
Thanks!
Heyy, thanks for the mention. I'm hearing some cool pads, are they coming from the Poly cinematic?
No problem, thanks for the music! Some of the pads are from the poly cinematic, but the more atmospheric ones earlier in this video are coming from the sampler. I've got a bunch of evolving loops in there I've made with loads of modules in VCV rack and sampled.
Amazing performance, track at 40~ min is firee
Thanks, I was aiming to do something quite groove based and evolving but couldn't stay away from a bit of melodic stuff there =).
🎉🎉 love it.. and just 5 mins in
Thank you :).
