Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 жов 2024
- Does the Avant-Garde still exist? We're exploring the the motivations of one of the most influential people active in the West-Coast Electronix scene: Danny Wolfers aka Legowelt.
Expect some out of focus camera's, lo-fi recordings and top-notch music.
Filmed and edited by Eveline Dowling & Kevin Groen.
Music by Danny Wolfers:
Pacific Dreams
Scheveningen Variation
Ocean Arrow
Prince of Venosa
The Is No Logic That Sequences A Feeling
Trautonium II
Pour Morton Feldman
This Is Not America
The documentary is even more DIY than the music, which gives it a special charm tbh. It's clearly made out of love. Nice one.
This is an amazing interview with one of the most forward thinking masterminds of today's world. Thank you for this!
absolutely. he's up there in my mind with some of the best electronic producers of our generation. His so is the definition of complex. THis is not a guy riding a trend. He eats breath and sleeeps in sound. We are the winners from his obvious obsession and passion. Amen.
Great interesting documentary. It's really nice to hear the insights of such a creative artist / synth nerd.
Thank you both Legowelt and the filmmakers :)
doctorbarrientos Thank you for the kind words!!
Great doc, Danny’s music is fucking timeless, all of his tracks is amazing. ❤
LEGOWELT!!!!
I love Danny. Such a good bloke.Never met him but id love to!
I just watched this interview again after years and I have to say that I wish there would be more interviews like this out there. great stuff!
It is very nice to watch. Electronic Master
Thank you!
respect to the oldskool genius LEGOWELT
Really good but sometimes the music was too loud
Yeah we noticed in the final product! We'll take that into account for the next one!
This is pretty cool. I had never heard of legowelt before this.
30:20 thank you for this, was hoping someone would do a supercut of that from the future music video haha
Great video
Love it its like an interview with an alien
I love the music from Legowelt, for me is it the best music of the world because it is spacemusic.
I think Danny really should sample his own voice when is says "synthesizer" in english and make a crimi track with it.....
Hahahqha
Muito Bom!!
The very nice Remix/Rework of Bowies „This is not America“ - is it from Danny Wolfers? Or who else did it?
tronique | Yes, Danny as Smackos.
alan partridge Thank You! :)
I really like this guy, he can have a lot of fun with a €50 used synth.
@Machmett Mutmasslich Yamaha PSS, cheap FM synths,very fun.
@@nikmak which would be the model? PSS-290?
hey guys get a hold of how to adjust volumes in final x or what ever the fck you use...
danny is the realest.
Danny is a great actor. Loved it!
Legend!
Very cool docu about a very cool dude.
Unfortunatly the very good music wich is way too loud makes it impossible to understand what is told.
Maybe you can re-edit (I hope you saved your sequence) and pull down all music -20db under all quotes.
Besides that, lot's of respect!
Mxx
Awesome tho thx 😍😍🎹🎹🎹👍👍👍‼️‼️

What's the track in the end?
Avant !!!
Producers of this: Microphone for interview is not loud or clean enough, too much distracting and too loud background music.
We had no idea what we were doing other than just being fans of Legowelt.
Analoog Creative also it doesn’t matter
Nick nobody cares really. Just you. How's your party going?? 😂🎉🎉
He’a a guy. He makes house. He did it. And he’s done it for a long time. But if he’s so good, why so long in gaining recognition? Has people’s opinions of music changed in expectation and creative expression? Either way its interesting. I see you got the message bout the audio issues. Thanks for putting forth the effort and sharing the experience of talking with this guy, I’ve only listened to his stuff for a few months but as simple as his rhythm may be his synth style is unique and I respect that. Glad to see he is getting wider recognition. Hope he and others continue to over throw pop culture and the youth quit listening to the kissfm sickness of culture and relate to genuine expressions of creativity and not mass marketed dehumanized sickness, though some popular artists may express something good the one’s who are mass marketed usually do not.
lol wot?
nikmak I just see the music scene as a place of popular marketing rather than a place of original expression in the larger picture. And people that do something well don’t get massive recognition without marketing. So, idk, just what was on my mind when I saw this? A lot of artist’s spend roughly a decade producing, touring, and building a base before they breakout on a larger scale, if their music is well received.
Have been following him for 20 years. He’s a true artist (not in the pretentious sense). He is a dude who wants to make things that mean something to him, on his terms.
@@postlex Yeah, not many people can make a 4/4 beat electronic track and keep me interested. I appreciate that he also gives away free .wav audio sample's of some killer gear, from Korg's Monopoly, to Moog's Model D, and Roland Juno 106, that's really nice of him to take the time to put literally 100's of samples of each of several classic instruments. So it's sad that it has taken as long as it has for his artistry to make it's mark on a wider audience.
I think that LoFi Electronic music nowadays is getting more recognition in general. It always had a fanbase in The Netherlands (where I live) and the countries that surround it due to for example internet radio stations like intergalactic fm.
Please buy a microphone guys
synthesizer :D
Alberto Balsam i choked on synthesizer XD
Is the acid track at 20:00 released?
No unfortunately still unreleased.
It's finally released on his latest album!!!
What s the name of this track?
Poffertjes Den Haag
what movie's that at 07:00?
This clip combined with a visual thingy Legowelt made himself! ua-cam.com/video/luOLiuwP6u4/v-deo.html Haven't been able to find out which movie it's from.
Elka X-705

dope doc, but shoulda used a compressor/automation on the overdub.
FunkRaum Thanks for the tip!
If you want to learn more about Legowelt, I did an interview with him that you can read on my blog: deeplovezine.com
why the labels? I watch..
West coast electronix legowelt😂😂
Legowelt is mijn vader
I don't think legowelt is offering anything new, I mean, it's good stuff but not as hyped as all that
Avant-garde means sounds like stuff done forty years ago?
West coast? For real?
Try less hard.
Danny is a great actor. Loved it!
