Byzantine Dreams - exploration of a single patch on the Haken Continuum

- Demonstrating the diversity of sounds from a single patch on the Haken Continuum. The drone, plucked and singing tones are controlled entirely by playing technique from a single patch developed by Edmund Eagan called Singing Bamboo.
I went on a Continuum binge last night, and imo this is one of the best performances, that's really showing the wide potential and performance art this thing inhabits, on youtube. Thank you for that. After really informing myself, I no longer see this is an overpriced midi controller but a unique instrument that deserves it's spot in the world for being as expressive and standing-out as it is, with arguably one of the most powerful synth engines and editor one could get for money. And yes, it's waaay beyond my price range. Ugh, one day
Ed, there is also the ContinuuMini, which is a much more affordable, scaled back version. It has the exact same sound engine inside, though.
Absolutely amazing. I had the opportunity to play this instrument half a decade ago now and it has since forever haunted my soul
Love it!!
Yes… Very inspiring… Just listening to this makes me want to create new music… ☮🔥
your playing skills along with this sound emotions me.
underrated instrument
amazing. i love the way it looks. like if freddy kruger designed a keyboard
I know nothing about this instrument and really much at all about music but I loved this! Now I have to go watch all the rest of Sally’s videos! I just knew her from her awesome van conversion.
Super inspiring! Really lifts the creative spirit!
It looks like a instrument from another dimension.
i could listen to this all day long.
Amazing performance! Is this a factory preset? Does it automatically drone the lower tone and splits the keyboard? This is mind blowing
thanks, Hnrique. it's the same patch by Edmund Eagan from the factory, called Singing Bamboo. The tone depends on the pressure and attack, so everything that I did is controlled with the fingers, except for the sustain of the drone, which is controlled with a pedal and the continuum configured to treat the pedal as Sostenuto.
Love this instrument. The only thing I don't like about it is that I would have to look down to play it.
Beautiful, Sally!
Fabulous stuff
MORE! Please! Thank you.
Thank you...
And I truly mean it…!!!
beautiful
Amazing Instrument !!
I would love to see what an artist like Trifonov or Do-Hyun Kim could do with this instrument.
No where close to this excellence but the concept is like the string patch I created on the Korg Pa4X. Depending on how hard you tap the keys, you could get a pizzicato or staccato effect. If you held the keys down, you get just the strings playing without any pizz. or stacc.
I recently came across this instrument, but the price point a tad bit outside of what I can afford.
great sounds and feel!
Pfffff,woww... Absolute wonderfull..Oo
perfectly!
I have the Roli Seaboard Rise, but must say the Haken - especially the way Sally uses it - is a few shades better
wow this is mad and so beautiful, I wish I could play a keyboard. I just looked at the continuum price and ouch. thank's for sharing.
AMAZING!!!!!!
Imma play a little "In my time of dying"!
Russ Wilson rather ‘In the Light’ from Physical Grafitti
Looked this up because I wondered why a keyboard sells for 8000. Ngl, this looks and sounds pretty awesome!
Honestly, it is better to think of this as more of a very atypical fretless string instrument.
Yes, it has black and white key markers and a flat playing surface but that is the only way it is similar to a keyboard. You really don’t play it like a keyboard.
It is very much it’s own thing that lives in the space between a lot of different instruments.
@@wabbit2099 Correct. I has ZERO keys.
Really, really inspiring!
Awesome!
Amazing
Excelente!!
Did you use some sort of custom scale? Sounds soooo nice
no
I’d like to hear what Diamanta Galás does with this synth.
magnifique
The Large fingerboard costs 5,500.00.
Blade runner!!? Bowie-Eno's Moss Garden?!?
Can anyone tell where this bassline is from?
Everything is played real-time on the continuum. The bass is held using the pedal set to Sostenuto setting.
Hire this person immediately…!!!!!!
Hi does haken have scale mode?
yes, and a rounding capability that is quite sophisticated.
@@SallySparks thanks where can i find a list of scale presets?
@@DespairQuietlyPlease probably in the documentation for the eaganmatrix at hakenaudio.com in the documentation.
@@SallySparks couldn't find a list of scales or 'pitch tables' in manual?
@@DespairQuietlyPlease Join the Haken continuum users group on Facebook and ask Richard Kram.
"In the Light", rather.
ouch
the problem with this instrument is that you need to keep your eyes peeled on the keyboard, one slight wrong movement and it's obvious. I had an interest in this but after taking extensive notes this instrument, as a performance tool, is way too hard to master, except for slow pieces.
It isn’t easy to master, you are correct. However, at a Continuum conference, we had two blind attendees who connect very well with the instrument. But it requires study and practice to master, as with any fine i nstrument
@@SallySparks thanks for the update, time is really the thing i don't enough of and I'd rather dedicate that to my keyboard and composing. I don't know how a blind person would be able to play effectively apart from slow and gliss (gliding) type of sounds. multiple octave playing (without mistakes) would be near impossible. you really need to be looking at where you place your fingers.
@@pfylim I suggest you look at the new OSMOSE keyboard. I’m excited about it.
@@SallySparks thanks, aware of it, tho you lose the glide-ability but you get the keys. will wait for the reviews to come in first.
@@pfylim I’m planning to pair with a ContinuuMini for that. Excited about the possibility!

With all due respect to Zimmerman’s Dune could have used some of this…!!!
thank you. Actually, in Dune II the Continuum was used and Hans enlisted the help of Haken Audio's Edmund Eagan and Christophe Duquesne.
