Better than any TED talk. Daedelus is hella articulate. Giving words to so many impressions I've never expressed myself, but deelpy understand and resonate with. I love when he talks about the ergonomics of the device. The hands spacing, the things he touches (controllers), even the electricity and the way that it flows through the machine. Yes!
Little Music Boxes he actually has a Ted talk that pretty friggin awesomesauce you should check it out if you like this. It’s older and based on the monome but still has the same feel and great explanations of his thoughts on music and sound in general
A far ranging discussion and performance. This reminded me of college- a guest lecturer showing how they perform and then explaining why. The sections where he talks about where the modules are, because he has only 10 fingers, was very insightful. The physical interface has to be sized for human digits. This shows his background in physical instruments- the form of the bass is influenced by the dimension of the human form. Very well done. Many thanks!
This was a great listen and performance. It's really cool seeing a new take on DJing using modular -- this is the sort of sampling I really love, really opens up the creative potential.
This beat is so delicious, this beat makes me so envious how this man makes me dance like this to reach the edge of a precipice but pulls be back again right on time every time Thank you Universe I aspire to this.
Wonderful and inspirational video. It is so hard to know what a modular system will do at any moment. I love the idea of making sure you have strong intent, and letting that lead the patch.
If you really wanna see what a modular can do at any moment, search for stevio Primes watch the music and look for his explanation video... all live improvised.. no eeffing recorded music... IE: the real deal... this vid is just so lame (((
toonertik why so much hate bro. He is doing something different. Perhaps it’s not your idea of the best use of a modular setup but it’s his thing and the simple fact he is using it in a new way is inspirational in its way.... lame you say? You sir are lame for not only thinking so blandly but sheesh you must really be lame to post about the lameness multiple times lol just sayin
Really interesting use case for modular that I've not seen much before. I love the STS. Have drones and 'complete tracks' loaded into it for sort of remixing and mangling purposes. I might consider doing something similar for my live setup....
@@funkytransport No, he was playing a sample from the track and live remixing it. I'd accept it could be better called a remix, but I'd still suggest 'cover' is appropriate
Other than modulation, what is the modular synth doing? Seemed like it was all pre-recorded loops being fired automatically? I know he usually plays with a grid, just wasn't sure if there was some kind of triggering mechanism or something in his modular setup...
Very eloquent, and love the thought gone in to this but for starters what is wrong with sci-fi soundscapes on modular? I love creating soundscapes on modular and they are always different every time. Also how has this moved things on? I’m not slating what you are doing because I love any way that people get creative with modular but to me this is just Djing with fx. Interested to see where it goes though.
Don't get me wrong, he is really a lovely guy but he could have just used a SP404 for that kind of stuff. Just loading prerecorded songs into a modular system seems pretty odd to me. I don't feel like this has something to do with performing live, the modular and all these patch cables just make his "putting effects on tracks thing" look cooler. But really no offence, that's the great thing about eurorack, everyone can use his "synth" in a totally different way. No hate, just my thoughts about his performance.
Yeah... really lame... "oh look, I recorded these tracks in the studio, look how I can add some reverb and other fx... lame lame lame... For some true live improvised modular music search for stevio primes... 2 vids to watch 1 the performance 2: the system break down and explanations as to what is going on...
Yeeesssss, technically. He was super eloquent about the reasons this setup makes sense. I bet if you had 4 hours to play with his rig, it wouldn't "feel" like what you are reacting to, if that makes sense. There is an aesthetic and kinetic difference in interfacing with these machines (compared to a DAW or another screen-heavy solution.) The music might be the same (or even worse, a lot of the time.) But that's not really the point. This is the stuff that gets worked on my people who need it. And then it develops and then gets better, and eventually really good, and maybe a little popular. And that is when Kanye (or whatever musical auteur has a strong voice at that time) will use it, and talk about it, and popularize it. Everyone will understand it through that popular lens. But this guy will do the hard work of making this that people don't understand. That's the way it goes.
for the record my question was to ensure I didn’t miss anything. Since watching this video it really made sense to me on how a modular rig could skip the vco’s and work as a compact sampler.
@@NineteenEightyJuan Ah! yea! My modular is 90% sample based. And it still has the "feel" of that mad scientist rig. Because as soon as you switch a VCO our for a sample player, you still have to figure out what to do with it the same. Same filters, same env or fx or whatever, being controlled by the same cv sequencers and all. I have a video called 'patch notes' you might find interesting. Maybe.
wait am i really the only person here that is extremely annoyed by the fact it never switches to the webcam view of his modular whilst he's explaining his setup, and also whilst he's performing? who the heck edited this.... it's just common sense
perhaps the editor didn't have access to the footage of that camera, or maybe there is no footage at all...and the webcam's job was a live feed on to the projector screen for the people in attendance.

@@Mcflurry420 Thanks for the tip! Check out my music and let's be friends.
Hella articulate 😂🤣
A most engaging presentation by a very lovely fellow!

The best part of this video is from 0:00 to 1:08:40
I am always intrigued by Daedelus.
Same. He kind of reminds me of John Cage.
Great discussion and performance! Very eye opening and brought a lot of understanding and interest to modular for me.
"we have very little control, just a lot of intention" - my primary takeaway
This was a great listen and performance. It's really cool seeing a new take on DJing using modular -- this is the sort of sampling I really love, really opens up the creative potential.
I love this talk so much. The clarity he brings to what he's doing and wants to do is so inspiring. Honestly one of the best things on youtube.
wow, an interesting eurorack performance, how refreshing!
This was beautiful
This beat is so delicious, this beat makes me so envious how this man makes me dance like this to reach the edge of a precipice but pulls be back again right on time every time Thank you Universe I aspire to this.

I'm in tears.

I love the STS. Have drones and 'complete tracks' loaded into it for sort of remixing and mangling purposes. I might consider doing something similar for my live setup....
seriously my mind is in pieces
Very nice presentation. I love to see how everyone is using there systems. I have struggled for the lunges time with what do i do live?
coming in with that mixup of Herbie Hancock "I thought it was you" - that record is OG, check it out if you haven't heard it
One of the best in the game!
The audience looks like they arrived for the Bass Pro Shops convention and went in the wrong room. . . .
what
Todd Terje cover thrown in! MIND BLOWN!!! This is absolutely incredible
its not a cover, he was just playing the track
@@funkytransport No, he was playing a sample from the track and live remixing it. I'd accept it could be better called a remix, but I'd still suggest 'cover' is appropriate
this men is a genius
Coincidentally listening to the Duncan Trussell Family Hour with this lovely chap, can totally understand why Duncan wanted to chat with him
Where's that guy with the track list ?
Bro you are BAD ASS!
Thought I heard something familiar

he made his own modular SP, think of it that way
Frank Rodriguez exactly you said it lol
@@dandykaufman2 good point!
Congrats Daedelus. You just showed me the first modular rig I would actually like to build. :)
Haze Anderson agreed I love the different direction he went with this soo much
Been trying like crazy to find song #2 (after Sophie - EEEHHH). Anyone know what it is?
Crackazat "Eye Light" :)
@@DaedelusMusic Thank you so much!
So, this setup is serving as a live effects rack to entire tracks being loaded from an SD? As in, are there any sounds being generated by the modules?
Yeah... really lame... "oh look, I recorded these tracks in the studio, look how I can add some reverb and other fx... lame lame lame...

I think Danny Brown could use some help patching the Black and Gold system I'm assuming he bought from you guys.
And what exactly does it mean: “banging on the ears”? I know the Ears module, but...?
I think he's literally hitting the Ears to send a gate to the STS
Little Music Boxes sent me :)
Daedelus is a happens to be a musician.
Daedelus ive got your first whiskey in kansas
Shout out to the guy wearing the Aphex Twin shirt
killer ale pekaesy !
Shout-out to wylie cable asking the real questions
a great lesson in how to make something simple sound complicated....
Lol, that's Daedelus' whole M.O.
cant believe there were empty seats
he looks like Pushkin
wait am i really the only person here that is extremely annoyed by the fact it never switches to the webcam view of his modular whilst he's explaining his setup, and also whilst he's performing? who the heck edited this.... it's just common sense

Pop filters guys
You sound like a whiny person
or off axis miccing
What a darling
Instruo 1[f]
Modular is not the mecca dont jump in a rabbit hole of endless gear
Po eats modular ... The industry consumes all ...
I love daedelus, but he is actually doing nothing here. It's premix just playing live. Quite rubbish.
Pointless knob twiddling
Boring music boring man
Move on Boring loser make your own music so that i could ignore it .
