Spring in Blue | Eurorack Modular Ambient
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- Taking a break from recording to...record. Got a new, better tripod and I wanted to try it out.
This one is inspired by lingering feelings from winter.
Eurorack and Audiothingies P6.
Patch notes:
ARP:
Audiothingies P6 into Pittsburgh In/Out, multed to:
- Mutable Instruments Clouds (looping delay mode, 3rd quality setting, no feedback or delay...acting as sort of a bit-shifting filter with tape hiss and reverb)
- Doepfer A-189-1 (first mode) into Mannequins Three Sisters into Make Noise Erbe-Verb
- Optodist into Alright Devices Chronoblob Delay
BASS
Mutable Instruments Rings (modal synthesis mode, monophonic, Brightness down around 10 o'clock, Damping around 3, Position around noon, Structure around 10:30)
SLIDE/TREMELO GUITAR LEAD
Mutable Instruments Rings (non-linear string mode, quadriphonic, Brightness around 3, Damping around 3, Position around 1, Structure around 10) into Intellijel Polaris (LP mode A) into second Mutable Instruments Clouds (same mode as the other Clouds).
- Rings "in" is being fed by Mutable Instruments Clouds on CLOU
- The CV from the sequence is running through Make Noise Maths Channel 1, which is being used to add slew/glide.
- FM of Polaris is being modulated by Qu-Bit NanoRand in stepped random mode.
SEQUENCING
Korg Electribe 2 to Vermona QMi2 MIDI to CV.
Cheers.
Sounds are flowing...🎶🎛🎵🎹🎧
A couple of years later I still think this is one of the most emotional sounding synth pieces I’ve heard. It’s hauntingly beautiful...
this or "The Fossils of Intention" or "Moss"
I love it
And we keep coming back here
You are right.This is up there.Simple yet so haunting.
Indeed, I find myself coming back to it several times a year.
And I'm back. Beautiful. Tonight I'm making a song of my own using that same lead. Thanks for the inspiration.
Glistening parapet in low rising starlight
Bounding the indeterminate shape of suffering
We have left the Garden and there is no return
here im' listening again to this amazing composition....hope you doing great after your struggles...
thank you for the kind words. I'm doing very well, though my creative endeavors are lagging behind. I'll be more active again soon.
Gorgeous.
+DivKidVideo Why, thank you *blushes*
Wonderful composition! Some of the most musical stuff I've heard from modular world yet!
This music just blows me away. The wailing (is that Rings) is just so emotionally captivating.
It reminds me of some of Roy Orbison's work.
My faith in my modular has just been re-upped.
TNX.
Beautiful
Thank you! Makes me think of Sigur Rós for some reason
I watched listened to this way..way back but just now commenting.Probably the most beautiful thing I have ever heard.To come up with this blows my mind.Perfect.
Almost 35k views, and not 1 single dislike. That's rare. I am drowning in the music. amazing.
Absolutely beautiful. Took me away to another dystopian world that I'm pretty happy I'm not stuck in!
Wow! A fav!
Spring is just getting started and this music encapsulates some of my current feelings. Thank you!
I love this soooo much .... goose skin ;-)
Very beautiful track. Great composer.
Love this track
just beautiful !!!
This is beautiful music. thank you
Wauw, this is very nice!
Didn't reed the description, thought it was an actual guitar haha
I am getting into modular for some days. I've been playing around with VCV Rack a bit, and while not sure where i am going, i am ready to go.
What you did produce here is exactly what I love to feel and would love to make feel.
Thanks a lot for the inspiration, and cheers from France !
Very good!
Really touching, makes me sing along.
Thanks for sharing!
Nice one, man.
Wow, beautiful music! Thanks for uploading...
I've been listening to this almost daily... Man I need to get a clouds...
gorgeous
listened soo many times over the years still my fav. would love to have a wave file of this :)
unfortunately this was recorded before i had the foresight to record the audio separate from the video. it pretty much only exists attached to this video and a free download of the audio on soundcloud - soundcloud.com/rbeny/spring-in-blue
lessons learned ;)
Nice Rhodesy sound. Really great vibe. You do sounds with modular that I didn't know were previously possible.
+Matt Greer Thanks. Basically my whole setup at this point, but I kinda miss having little boxes all over the place. Just ordered a Volca FM to rectify that.
Beautiful soundtrack! I absolutely love it!
This is great!
Sublime - really beautiful both in conception and execution :)
This one is amazing. Glad you explain the configs so that we can learn and also get to know the potential uses of modules which usually showcase different kind of sounds in their official demos (like rings)
Amazing
beautiful sounds
Beautiful work!
Absolutely superb!
I still just love this.
modular post rock!!!
really love your stuff. You've inspired me to start making patch videos even though I don't have many modules :/
+metronic01 Keep at it! I wish I had started posting videos when I had a smaller setup. I did put stuff up on Instagram, but I wish I had the full versions.
This. Is. Awesome.
Thats just beautiful!
Muy buenos... Gracias...
WOW mayn.
This is absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing this masterpiece :)
Beny add this to spotify please
all I will say is "soon"
Absolutely Beautiful and mesmerizing
Beautiful man
Magic!!!!!!!!
This is beautiful, thank you
Great piece and great case, can I ask you where did you get it?
Case was bought on Muffs from someone who had it made for them.
Really nice.
This is fuckin awesome mate, absolutely fantastic just what I needed to see tonight. Now I have to decide kawasaki Z800 or modular! Thanks 🙂
wow
Def one of your best and that's saying something. Amazing how you get the melodies and bass to offset each other. It's probably so simple, but it sounds like magic. I too would be interested to know how you're sequencing this. Is it all just looping and arranged by mixer levels and pitch transposition on the fly?
+Phormz Lab Thank you. Sequencing is from the Electribe 2 via the Vermona QMi2. Through that, I get 4 channels of melodic sequencing. For this one, I have 4 set sequences and I play with the tones and mixing on the fly. I'm thinking of switching over to just a pure euro-sequencer, but I haven't found one that suits me yet. The new Harvestman one has me intrigued.
+r beny Yeah the Harvestman does look pretty damn good dunnit?! Whatever you decide on, I look forward to hearing the results! Nice one
r beny Which sequencer did you settle on? Got the Hermod but had to send it back for repairs, I love that it doesn‘t do steps only but also pure midi recordings.
You should put out a full length on vinyl. I'd buy it anyway :)
2019
This is beautiful! Are you near NYC? You should do a #modularontheroof session!
This would be fantastic! DO EET
oh man, 2nded. this is stellar.
3rded rather, whoops
4th'd
Yea that!!
Больше такой музыки!!!!
Very awesome!
+John L Rice Thanks John
REALLY nice work, thank you for sharing it. What's that lead sound that sounds almost like a violin? Amazing.
+Akashamitra Mutable Rings going through a modulated filter and a delay.
I’ve been listening to this on repeat the last few weeks. That wailing lead mixed with that clean bass and that filthy distortion- this really does it for me. Can you share what you’re using for your bass on this session? So pure and yet impactful.
the bass is mutable instruments rings. in certain settings, it kind of simulates an actual bass. needless to say, it gets heavy.
@@rbeny Just so you know - this song inspired me to get a Rings. So, get your percentage from MI!
WOW
Beautiful. How you make a guitar sound? It is a sample?
it's a physical modeling resonator, Mutable Instruments Rings.
r beny is the Pat Metheny of modular ambient.
Wow this video is over two years old and there are no dislikes. I don't think I've ever seen that. Pretty sad tbh lol.
you just jinxed it.
I'm new to Euro Rack Synths, Drone, etc. do you keep a log book of Music titles and their corresponding patches and control settings so you can repeat your music titles to an approximate degree? Also, do you perform live and if so, are you in the USA? I have to believe if you set up somewhere, you WOULD draw a crowd. I've SO Liked and subbed to you! I JIST found you. Are you published to iTunes? I want to buy your music.
I don't keep a log of my patches, though I should. I like approaching the modular as a blank canvas each time. I do perform live. I'm in California. I just released an album and it's on bandcamp - rbeny.bandcamp.com/
r beny Well, you're an artist, so it makes sense to do it this way. Is this song available to buy? It's so haunting and beautiful. I keep returning to it.
Will you release this piece of music to Spotify? I want to hear its HQ version
sadly no, this is the highest quality version that exists. I have thought about re-recording and making a new version of this though.
Omg.
f********k. nice man.
Fucking gorgeous
Cool. This is music!
man, year after year I keep coming back to these haunting yet nostalgic sounds. thank you
really wish this was on spotify... I've been listening t this song for 6 years now. used to study to it in undergrad, now I am in med school.
congrats on your success! maybe it is time to put a version on streaming.
@@rbeny yes!
I have returned for the annual pilgrimage. Still haunting. Still beautiful. Still mesmerizing.
I have listened to a lot of your other work since first coming across this one. They’re all great but I keep coming back to this one. It’s really that good. Thanks.
Utterly brilliant. That is the most convincing rapid-strum, post-rock guitar sound I've heard from Rings - very Explosions in the Sky/Mogwai/etc. Great way to build a mood and hold it even with minimal melodic variation. And dat Optodist, tho - wow. Nice.
+Noisejockey Thanks Nathan. I know I did something good when I get praise from you. I'm currently trying to figure out how to get Rings to sound like a lap-steel guitar for some Red Sparowes worship.
Noisejockey Explosions In The Sky - brings me back!
This makes me think about very distant future, future without us who are alive in this time on earth. Distorted by my temporary pessimistic phase the future doesn't seem bright, but there's a string of hope, that string is guiding me my whole life, hope that insignificant string will guide someone else when i say my goodbyes.
If art is supposed to touch us, this masterpiece did it, made me think how insignificant we are, but that we still matter, you made this, this is yours to leave to our future, let's hope the stings don't break.Thank you sir r beny.
thank you, I think the same thing about art and the art that touches me. means a lot that something I made could connect with you on that level
@Divinital Haven't played the game yet, but this tune should be added in future updates of game, if they happen.
@@rbeny I rarely comment on anything, in recent times our voice is insignificant on internet. I am very glad that you replied, that you read your comments, I think that is natural to want to know what people think about something you did with passion. Thank you once again on this audio monument, and again let's hope stings don't break. I wish you all the best, my fellow future traveler.
zeka zeka ....and here we are....
@@beyondthegong the strings will be there, maybe without us to think about them.
That moment at 3:56 when you twist that knife deeper into the heart.
I have lost count of how many times I've listened to this piece. I'm just blown away by the intense emotion it stirs up in such a beautiful way. It's absolutely breathtaking.
Unfortunately this song strikes in me the realest sense of the end, the futility of every moment. I know its all a sham...a gig. An illusion to appear sane and safe while spinning on this mystery comet of life. Im aware of the tension of living with this information, and at times, deciding to ignore it. However, every good moment has the shadow in the background. It sucks knowing the truth...but hey the song is beautiful because of how deep it takes me! Up or down is my deal, song is great.
Positive vibes from a stranger a year later. Hope all is well in your world in present times, because it sounds like you could have used a smile and/or hug a year ago.
So good man, the chord change at 3:47 is eargasmic! The piece reminds me of piece called 'Sleep' by 'Godspeed You! Black Emperor', it's the high uncomfortable synth line. I think Godspeed used a screwdriver on an electric guitar though.
Thanks! Yeah, Godspeed and Mogwai were the inspirations for this one for sure.
Well Godspeed to you then sir!
what the fuck HUGE SOUND!
so deep atmosphere and filling room sound, with this bit crushing and distortion. very nice (:
Really amazing. One of the best, most unique sounding modular compositions I've heard. This track has so much feeling, very powerful. Wonderful, amazing work.
I'm absolutely taken away by this. I always get lost writing in my story while listening to this. You can feel so many emotions. It's simply beautiful and eerie. Love it.
just beautifull, godspeed on modular
+Eric Schaeffer Thank you. Godspeed is one of my biggest influences and I strive to bring that type of music to electronic instruments.
I think this tone/melody/progression/mix is literally... the PERFECT patch.
Holy hell, it's all just right.
Fuck. This is the space.
God Speed You! Black Emperor
This music understands the way my brain hurts when words don't work.
This is amazing. Just played it on loop for about 2 hours.
Can I buy this soundtrack somewhere?
Excuse my noobish question, but how do you get chords on your modular synth? Is it polyphonic, or do you have lots of oscillators at different frequencies, or..? Awesome track by the way :]
patch & noodle has it right. it's sort of pseudo polyphony. that combined with a lot of delays makes it sound fuller than it actually is :)
SUper nice. Where is that delicious white noise coming from? Is that all Clouds tape hiss, or is there another source?
clouds tape hiss. one of my favorite tools
This is absolutely incredible. Like the winter sun melting an ice burden or some weird shit like that. Beautiful.
I just keep returning to this one... Still absolutely brilliant! :-)
I'm trying to resist heading down the rabbit-hole that is modular synthesis ... but tracks this good really aren't helping. Superb job.
+bubbanderson just go for it.
Wouldn't you rather regret something, rather than regretting NOT regretting it?
Nice comment ! In middle of a divorce which will wipe me out financially so modular might have to wait
bubbanderson awww that's no good man :-(
Hope all goes well.
...for your sakes, and the modular's!
Thanks mate ... puts things in perspective though. Wives are a lot more expensive than going modular ;-)
bubbanderson hahaha i'm only 15 but i can imagine!
Hello, it's winter now in Moscow? it's beatufull drilling PCB and soldering at midnight when the snow is cover the stree and this music play now/Nice)))
been listening to your things these day, really amazing work, but this... I wish I could give it 2 thumbs up! :) great music, keep it up!
beautiful work! this particular piece seems to have hints of godspeed laced in it. a really moving experience.
godspeed is one of my favorite bands. not surprised some of their influence would seep into my songs. nowhere near as powerful of course :)
Agreed, definitely feeling the Godspeed, or maybe Sigur Ros or Explosions in the Sky. Post rock crying guitar sound from Rings really nails it. I did not know Rings could do that... haunting and beautiful.
@@rbeny i saw godspeed live a few years back, and it was honestly one of the most breathtaking experiences ever.
i think your composition borrows just the right amount, and then takes it on it's own journey.
some of your material has a real transcendental feeling...it's rare for me to find the time to step into that space these-days, but truly grateful that i can pop on some of your compositions to help me get there...
best wishes :)
