That weekend was fucking amazing! That was the first time I actually enjoyed playing live (there’s a lot that can go wrong with what I do, so I’m usually just trying to minimise the fuck ups) I’m glad you got to experience the synth live in full surround! Imagine following my channel and only knowing what it can do in stereo! Boring! :p
@@robthebloke That takes balls to do live man. I would hope people who know about this form of music would be aware of the experimental side of it and just flow with what happens 😊👍🍻
@@meinteybergen4617 yup. That’s basically why my UA-cam channel has been neglected for so long (was trying to figure out how to do it, and it’s nigh on impossible to record for UA-cam). If you got a very good pair of headphones, I’ve got 3 videos recorded off my phone that give a rough idea - eg this was the very first time I set up the surround sound rig - ua-cam.com/video/tDi3fM5hsQo/v-deo.htmlsi=RFpuONvidNwOt1oJ It’s just a single note being rotated around the room (sometimes at audio rates, which is what is generating the second tone)
Yes, in fact it's a rare modulawizardo in the wild. Approach slowly, they tend to be a bit aggressive and flighty during the mating dance. 🤣 🤖👽🛸 We don't want to scare him off. Great jam!
@@januszhrustthats the best part at the end of the day you're just trying organize the madness all these modules want to produce. Nobody really knows what their doing unless they have a degree in electronics and studied every module in their rig which is compeltly pointless from a musical standpoint.
Forget the synth for a second… this guy knows music. That what brings this thing alive, and it’s so cool to see how he comes up with this shit whether it’s on the spot or not!
What I love about this is how it feels like you're really taking a journey - both yourself, and taking the listener on a journey - through very gradiated landscapes. It's like every 7 minutes or so, a very steady molecule-by-molecule metamorphosis lands you in a different landscape that you arrived at very organically. Hope that makes a tenth as much sense as it did in my head. Anyway I like it a lot. Really helps me find my zen on work breaks lol.
If you like that feeling and want to hear it in a totally different genre, you should give minimalist classical music a shot! A great place to start would be Steve Reich and Philip Glass. I like Steve Reich's Electric Counterpoint and Philip Glass' Glassworks a lot.
Goddamn dude the way this jam held me in a trance this whole time is absolutely insane. I had packed a nice bowl and just sat there listening for the whole time. Outstanding work my guy you deserve millions of followers
I started walking around the kitchen table like 20minutes in my wife comes down and thinks i'm going mad i completly forgot i wanted to make some food lmfao
damn, I've got here from that viral one big fat sound video and have to say I adore what you're doing here. This sounds so fresh and amazing. Subscribed and waiting for more :)
I'm from Los Angeles and I'm 51.... Been around the block with electronic music.... Been on a label or two. Rob this par excellence my friend! Cheers, Edward
I am SO GLAD that I was born late enough in human history to witness this. I feel like the experience of our ancient ancestors hearing this would be akin to ourselves seeing new colors - these sounds have only existed in such a relatively tiny slice of time so far. Absolutely brilliant performance. Thank you for sharing it.
Why do I get the feeling that when you first started patching this up, you were clean shaven and your eyes were wide open and hyper aware?!? Very Psy-Trance. My attempt to label this very cadence-quantized technical jam! Thank you for letting us hear it!
Dude is a wizard. Most DJs use relatively minimal setups nowadays, but this is something you cant clearly just sit behind idly. I wouldn't have believed it unless I saw it, this looks near impossible to know exactly whats going to happen at any given moment! Beautiful stuff man I will try and advertise your art as best I can.
it’s like watching a sculptor work, you can feel the beauty emerging and when it hits ooft - this is exactly what I’ve been looking for - thanks for sharing your talents Mr Bloke
I discovered your channel yesterday. I am thrilled by this deeply touching music. full of strength and wings, you enter into indescribably beautiful dimensions. a real enrichment, thank you very much for that 🙏Greetings from Germany
Your content is awesome. I've been showing all of my friends. You give us that lovely feeling of discovering something novel and fresh that we are excited to share with everyone. Keep doing your thing! Love from London
Hey Rob, you bubbled up in the algorithm. Love your jams - you tell a story, which is pretty impressive on the modular. The Colin Benders influence is tangible :) Any chance of another camera angle so we can see better what you're up to?
sometimes you just have to be grateful to the algorithm… I found some rare gem and on youtube and this is one of them! lol masterpiece! I have adhd and I usually jump all around, almost never listening to more than a few minutes, but this drew me in I could not stop listening…
I rarerly comment on youtube videos, but you are out of this world. I dont usually enjoy techno or similar music that much (dont know in which category to put this) except Carl Cox😂, but I just listen to your art while going to uni or just chilling and it makes me just feel alot better. I want you all the best in this world, you definitely deserve A LOT more views and subscribers! Hope to hear you live one day. 💪🏻🤞🏻
Just blindingly good.... straight up some of the best music I have heard in the last couple of years, and right up there with some of the best ever. Thank you!
It's just GOD lvl. Your play is amazing, really hard to find right words and describe how I liked it. I think it's the best modular sound I ever heard! thank you
I have a very good feeling that if you did a live set in Montreal Canada, you'd be super appreciated here. Keep up the good work, and i hope to see your name around in the future 🙏🙏🙏
I have been listening to your music while I work for some days now, and I have to say that a few times in my life I have felt so focused while also enjoying what I'm listening to. Your style is so unique and has something magical to ir, keep it up!
i love listening to your jams while playing games, no matter which. As some said, really puts you in trance, yet the melody you came up with really made it all interesting and mysterial.
(With this track) I imagine being glided through a seemingly endless desert dunescape with eroded skyscrapers poking out of the sand on a cloudless sunny day.
This is amazing. Subscribed! It's weird, around 29:00 it genuinely sounds like some of the sound is coming from behind me, and I just have a stereo setup.
Dude, this is absolutely brilliant! I enjoyed every second of it and will undoubtedly do so many times over. Greetings from another of your new German viewers! ;-)
I've been tweaking a single patch for a week or so now, just trying out little things to see if I can use tricks live. Today I've mainly been distorting the hell out of the mother-32 (again with the Saich), via the WMD stereo compressor. It's got some potential, but I think it needs a low pass filter after the compressor just to remove some of the top end. Sadly, I'm all out of filters, so I may need to go dig one out and add to the rig (luckily I still have a little bit of space). The only downside I find to the Saich is that it has so much fuzzy mids, that it makes it quite hard to tune the rig by ear when it's running. Turns out that gets even worse when you distort the signal! Hopefully with enough practice, that side will get easier.... love ya ! xxxtentacion isnt dead he is in cuba with 2pac n juice n peep n biggie snallz get a club or die trying
wow, modular techno which actually sounds musically good, clean and tidy, and not like a completely wonky freakshow. you did the unthinkable(in my opinion ofc)! :)
I haven’t listened to trance or ambient music in a long time, but listening to this genuinely reminded me of why I fell in love with the genre in the first place. Thank you. ❤
I don't know if it's possible in the euro rack world, but a neat little trick I use in the studio when I'm trying to tame out of control top end on distorted synth patches is using a de-esser. It really is a bit of a magic wand for me (when set right) for fixing the exact issue you are having (as the sizzly overbearing top end of a distorted synth patch has a lot in common with sibilance and will trigger a de-esser set to the really harsh range with great results), and it sounds SO much better than other possible fixes as it leaves in the fuzz, but tames it and you end up with this super buttery smooth top end, that's still retained all of it's grit underneath the shiny surface and the rest of the sound can be left a bit more lively and you can get away with less overall compression effecting other parts of the sound. I know you can get 500 series de-essers, so you might be able to get something that fits your rack, idk about the connections though but it's for sure worth looking into I recon, as it'll be the perfect fix for that issue going forward.
@@hdnenwkc I felt the same way about the person I found out about it from. 😉✌️ You get best result with a de-esser you can adjust the bandwidth at which it's active. I find it's often around 7k give or take a few k each side that is most often the most problematic area (but it really depends on the synth patch and I sometimes have it up as high as like ~11k). 🤙
Thanks mate! Planning a little excursion out bush next week, whilst I can’t run that in my rig directly, I do have a processor in front of my PA. I’ll give it a go and see what happens! Thanks, have a great week!
Just found you out of recommendations on the tube, seriously awesome chill to do just anything to. No need to think about what's happening in the music. Keep it up! 💜
jfc I keep waiting for it to chill out and I can focus on doing other stuff but any lull is just the base of a whole new raging peak. found you from the One Big Sound shorter video getting recommended. Love this stuff
i am high 10/10 would smoke to this again yes i copy pasted this from the other vid i found of you from the same time, shut up. also music very nice ♥sick ass heart emoji
Ok... So... Except for jazz, blues and death metal, I kinda listen to just about anything, from musicals to dubstep. But I've never encountered this type of music before, seems like I found something new to add to my playlist 😎👍
Woa this is amazing 😮 incredible talent! Stuff like this is so rare these days and i appreciate your craft a lot. I wish i would know how to use modsynths..
Holy shit... Seems that you're somewhere in europe, but if you play in America I HAVE to be there. Might have to fly across the pond just to witness you haha
I witnessed you jamming at Hunters on this, was out of this world good. 🙏🧡

Yeah, the truth is no one knows what he doin om modular synth… they just pretenting 😂
Check out Steevio (his RA session for example), he's the godfather of modular techno and definitely knows what he's doing 😁
Kink isn't bad also

bipbity bopbop
cant find a single boring moment, its like a DJ set but its just the dude and his plugs and boards
Oh cool, I didn’t know that Modular doesn’t have to sound like shit. This sounds actually pretty nice!
This is my true passion . If I learn what you're doing now. Respect sir you are a goat
Your content is awesome. I've been showing all of my friends. You give us that lovely feeling of discovering something novel and fresh that we are excited to share with everyone. Keep doing your thing! Love from London
i dont even understand this equipment but the tunes are so nice and pure thank you kind sir
I discovered your music yesterday and have already binged it for like 4 hours. Thanks for the jams 🙌
This is so lovely. Mans knows his craft! Keep em coming 🤩
Mad respect for the original tone, cant wait to hear the next patch. Thanks for sharing your art for the rest of the world to hear!
The culmination of twenty years of arcane hermit-mode.

Oh man, beer and synths is the perfect combination. Outstanding!!!
Morning, Coffee. I'm getting ready for work. I'm listening to you.
Hey Rob, you bubbled up in the algorithm. Love your jams - you tell a story, which is pretty impressive on the modular. The Colin Benders influence is tangible :) Any chance of another camera angle so we can see better what you're up to?

Cant wait.
I have a very good feeling that if you did a live set in Montreal Canada, you'd be super appreciated here. Keep up the good work, and i hope to see your name around in the future 🙏🙏🙏
well damn
edit; the spacey factory-esque percussion at 10:50 is clean as hell, love this shit
I could listen to this consecutively for days ! Really nice stuff!
So good. I can feel the spinal fluid draining away.
This deserves an entire video game built to match this opus

This is soul food. Raw but with depth.
(With this track) I imagine being glided through a seemingly endless desert dunescape with eroded skyscrapers poking out of the sand on a cloudless sunny day.
I ate the Jamwich and my soul started vibrating
Ain't enough cables yet.
you've got a unique and delightful sound going. thank you

Another one here thru YT reccomended..nice patch! Subbed and look fwd to more.
Love your stuff bro. Absolutely amazing brain food. Makes the world so much more dramatic and engaging.
Did not expect to actually listen to this for the whole 40 minutes but here I am. Awesome stuff!
That's a deep track. Love the sound design. Deus Ex Machina.
Hell yes! A new session! Super nice way to start a new day and brew coffee to

great sounds good !!! The unique worldview feels very goooooooood...
What a journey! This felt like going through several movements from chill to upbeat to dark and aggressive and back again. Nice work
This is real nice, love those Arps with the underlying drone, it’s mesmerising 👌🏻
Утро, Кофе. Настраиваюсь к работе. Слушаю Вас.
Absolutely mesmerizing, writing to this is incredible
You just popped up on my feed and I'm totally digging your vibe. Massive Jarre vs LeftField boss battle feels!
