I embarked on this journey early in the morning while everyone in my house was still asleep. It was quiet, and I could fully immerse myself. This isn’t just music... it’s a space with its own flow of time, where even the light bends differently. Thank you for this experience.
This was truly a journey - into a world of mystery, infinity and cosmic melancholy. Like touching the foundation of the existence and reality itself. It feels like a river, or perhaps a deep dark ocean of different emotions, where the time itself doesn't exist (despite the work's title).
I appreciate your explanation of the steps that you are going through and the sources that you use. In the early 2000's I used to make electronic music in a DAW and with a keyboard synthesizer. Then I quit making music altogether and now everyone is using boxes like this with tons of cables and plugs. For me, it's like everything that I used to know means nothing and I'm watching an instrument that I don't even understand.
You may be recommended alt of this but recognize it's not everyone. There are a lot of people that just use DAWS as its much cheaper and easier to get started.
Well these modular synths existed back then too, they just weren't as popular! But yeah, contrary to how youtube & instagram make it seem, Eurorack is still a growing niche hobby. DAWs (and desktop hardware) are still the go-to by the VAST majority.
Dear Jay Hosking, I just came across two videos of yours, this one (Impressive) and the other which was you using the Solar 42f ambient drone machine (Very impressive) I immediately liked both videos and then became a subscriber. Your work with these machines looks effortless which I know is born of time and skill, and as with many people who are gifted and talented they make something difficult seem like anyone can do it. Bravo Sir. I am impressed and a huge fan. I myself would love to play with music as you do, but my own gift is writing. If you wish to read any of my work I would be honoured to reciprocate your gift of music and return the compliment. Very impressed by your videos. Fantastic work, thank you.
Excellent idea and execution for a portable eurorack rig. I agree with the other comments saying that this deserves attentive listening, but it works as a soothing, ethereal backdrop to a productive day, too.
Happy to get you a download code for the album while I'm in the middle of making the video. Send me a quick message on Patreon and I can hook you up with this (and any other) albums. Thanks!
Very very nice!! At 26:00, the "stuttering" effect (is that just Beads doing granular things?) followed by the huge string crescendo = so powerful! You write that this is music to be listened to while living the rest of your life, but hey, actively listening to this _is_ life. :)
Yes, that stuttering effect is turning wet:dry on the granular higher so that you're hearing more of the grains being played. Thanks so much for the kind words!
Just one more thought to add if you do not mind (as I am still listening to this), but it reminds me of a cross between Vangelis and an ambient Gary Numan. I hope you take that for the compliment that it is meant to be.
I can't wrap my head around how so much acoustic content was generated from such a compact array. Modular synth sceptic here. I'm blown away how emotive and sincere this feels. Also that single slot archival news thingy is just... wow.... I'm curious where the chords come from tho, where's the keyboard playing the notes? Is it all pre-sampled chord sequences coming from the black thing on the left?
Yeah, most of the sound generation is done by the 4ms Sampler, playing samples that I created in the box. Planning on doing a walkthrough of the design in the near future. And thanks!
Because Spotify hardly supports my work and pays nearly nothing, whereas Bandcamp much better supports my work and pays much more substantially. It will eventually be on streaming services, but I always put on Bandcamp first. And thanks!
Love this! Quick questions - do you know the rough estimate of the cost of a setup like that? And are you somewhere in the PNW? Looks very Northwestern there :]
I'm not sure what the cost is; you can buy most cases and modules used (as I did), but even still, eurorack is not a cost-efficient platform. A tool like Modular Grid will give you the new cost of all modules in USD, though. And yes, this is one of the Discovery Islands in British Columbia!
@@JayHosking ¿Por Qué No? is bomb for sure. Do you like Thai food? If so, you gotta check out Khao Moo Dang next time you’re here. Best Thai I’ve ever had! 👌
Lovely atmosphere. Are you powering the Palette case via battery ? If so, what device are you using? I'm interested in doing some outdoor performing too.
Yeah, powered by battery. The battery is from Krisdonia, recommended by somebody on an Intellijel forum. There's an image of it around the 3-minute mark here: ua-cam.com/video/exuvG4X7QCc/v-deo.htmlsi=waepJ0FOcPPB7NEL And thanks!
I'm not sure if I know exactly which part you mean, but any pitch stuff in real time is being done by Beads, which can pitch its grains up or down by two octaves.

spectacular,,feels like traveling outta space, in an etherial world where no troubles are met
Awesome...I'm definitely going to grab this on Bandcamp.
This was truly a journey - into a world of mystery, infinity and cosmic melancholy. Like touching the foundation of the existence and reality itself. It feels like a river, or perhaps a deep dark ocean of different emotions, where the time itself doesn't exist (despite the work's title).
This is amazing. My cat also loves it. Im really wanting to sell all my gear and build a little eurorack now, beautiful work. Thank you ❤
Your music is like sitting on a rocket and flying to the space. Inspiring! And a real engine for me while doing post production. Thank you Jay!
Every time I come back to your channel, I discover another pearl. Thank you.
Far too good to be just 'background'. This performance deserves attention and proper deep listening. Superb work Jay! ❤
BRAVO ! 💪👀👆 BRAVO ! - A Statement in the EDM Diasphora ! Bravo , Mr.Hosking ! 🤗
modular music is a kind of a dream for me. I play guitar casualy, and this performance for me is blowing my mind !
Unreal performance - I realise this was meant to be background, but I kept getting drawn into all those lovely swelling synths ❤
For a guitar player who got into synthesis you absolutely nail it in all your videos
hello ! i'm guitar casual player and interested in modular music ! Could you advice me some beginner site ou channel ? THX !
Awesome! I've been looking for this kind of quality work all over UA-cam!
Absolutely mind-blowing. What a fantastic performance ❤
Magical! Great way to finish off summer and enjoy the last rays of sunshine.
I was working, then my attention was completely interrupted by your performance. Now I'm behind on my work, but I'm thrilled!

Where can I find the notes?
Love it, here in brazil its the opposite, winter ending and summer beggining. And it fits too, very nice
Stumbled across this randomly. Great work!

This is lovely, Jay. Absolutely love it. 💚
Some brilliant Zimmer vibes coming through there sir 🔥
Never stop making music❤
4 minutes in , and this is bound to get awsome,- Whatta treat ✨🤗
I liked it very much, superb music.
Excellent idea and execution for a portable eurorack rig. I agree with the other comments saying that this deserves attentive listening, but it works as a soothing, ethereal backdrop to a productive day, too.
Excellent! What a joyful mix of textures
Ultra inspiring work! I love this performance 😀
Incredible work again, Jay!
Stunning.
Totally amazing. Signed up and ready and waiting.
Happy to get you a download code for the album while I'm in the middle of making the video. Send me a quick message on Patreon and I can hook you up with this (and any other) albums. Thanks!
Awesome!
Awesome! Just bought the album!
Masterful!

Oh man...this is stunning
Kapelusze z głów. Wspaniała uczta dla moich uszu.
We weeks feel left out, thou really impressive work of art otherwise. Kudos.
This is beautiful..thank you for sharing🙏
Fenomenal has got new definition
What a an incredible show
Yeah that’s impressive 🔥🔥
STUNNING EVOLUTIONS ❤ 🔥 ✨️
Gorgeous!
Beautiful. Cheers Jay. Got my link.👍
Awesome ! Thank you :)
Love it. I keep coming back.
Very nice! 😎
i love this!
Thoroughly enjoyed this. Thanks for sharing!
man this is f amazing. thanks for the explanations too!!
one thing i personally find lacking in a lot of modular ambient pieces is a distinct lack of low end. this, in comparison, is wonderful.
This is absolutely breathtaking stuff bro! Love the rack
Love it
Very nice. ❤
Great work Jay, loved it 👌
Brilliant. Thanks so much.
particularly liked the progression on hours.
Soothing layers of noise and rickety sound structures build up a profound, wise and conceptual artwork of yours, mr. Hosking!
IMPRESSIONANTTE
Magnificent!
impressive....
A.W.E.S.O.M.E
pfjooo, like this..
Just one more thought to add if you do not mind (as I am still listening to this), but it reminds me of a cross between Vangelis and an ambient Gary Numan. I hope you take that for the compliment that it is meant to be.
Superrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Oh! Tube platform.
What a place.
That was good
I love it... it's very Jean Michel Jarre

No1 to like it 😉☘️👍
💛💛💛
Absolutely stellar! So sad, it's not on your Spotify. Why??
Because Spotify hardly supports my work and pays nearly nothing, whereas Bandcamp much better supports my work and pays much more substantially. It will eventually be on streaming services, but I always put on Bandcamp first. And thanks!
Nice. The disting Mk4 can also record stereo wav
7:56 what a plot twist! 🤯
Maybe my favourite improvisation in the whole thing. Thanks!
Yooo this is great I was just about to clean the bathroom

@@JayHosking Nice, I’ll check that out. And I’m here with you, kinda, down in Portland :]
@@OrdoCorvus Nice! Love Portland. I daydream about eating at Por Que No again all the time!
@@JayHosking ¿Por Qué No? is bomb for sure. Do you like Thai food? If so, you gotta check out Khao Moo Dang next time you’re here. Best Thai I’ve ever had! 👌
Интересно слушать🤔

And thanks!
What field should I study to learn how to use synthesizers to make music? I want to make this kind of music, but I just don't know where to begin.
I made a video all about how I made this music. Maybe it'll be a good place to start? Link here: ua-cam.com/video/xPB234u-9h0/v-deo.html
Ah yes, another MS-20 filter enjoyer…
My favourite in the Squawk!
Crazy and nice also give peace feelings 😊
soooo where is all that pitch modulation coming from?
I'm not sure if I know exactly which part you mean, but any pitch stuff in real time is being done by Beads, which can pitch its grains up or down by two octaves.
Ghost in Machine 🎛️🤗🌀🔈🔉🔊🔊🔊💯
Could you make an album with quotes from Alan Watts ♥️🍀⚛️🎶🙇
Something I had considered, actually! Maybe one day.
Where is weeks?
Copy written?
merci de me faire bander
Background voices immediately bring the track out of the background and into the fore. I Can't work to that
Как называется этот волшебный инструмент?
