If there is a video that can cover the essence of writing electronic music.. For me this is the ONE. Yes Yes Kenny Larkin perfectly portraying the importance of imperfection ;:) #technosoul
I live by this
@@NextSound170 ye man me too and not by choice.. I just do and live things that way
@@eg1612 Yes man, the music I work with for my own platform has to be soulful.
I feel like I really learned something from this video...im actually way too methodical and analytical sometimes and just forget to twiddle and play around and let 'the other half' take over for a while.
ha. reborn!
word!
Kenny Larkin seems like a nice dude. Good energy. Awesome tunes. ❤️
808 minutes.. love it. Who’s the genius?
good eye
You had the chance to "out genius" the video guy and post this on Thursday lol
Good point : D
YUPPP, I saw it too 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
If you're just finding out, your education is just beginning.
What a top dude. Really enjoyed his approach and straightforwardness
What an awesome human. I'd even say that if I hadn't heard his music
He speaks with such tonal range
Didn't expect to laugh when I clicked on that, but the guy makes me wanna hang out in his studio just as much as the gear
He’s Dark Comedy for some reason.
Honesty makes people seem so much more interesting. Thank you, Kenny, for being like that!
What a champ - no pretensions, great gear and honest.
If you only knew
no pretensions? did we watch the same video?
This dude is a legend but still super chill and down to earth.
Sheesh! Kenny has style! studio, pants, the whole package!
i saw him as part of Dallas's very first rave, billed as "RAVE MASSIVE" in 1991, outdoors, and it included the plus 8 records crew, richie hawtin, kenny larkin, john aquaviva, cybersonik, and others i cant recall.......? its cool how he uses ableton live along with a mixing board, thats what i want my ultimate set-up to be like
Thanks Telekom and Mr Larkin! Be simple, be humble, be in truth with yourself and others.
Massive respect for this legend. Been a big fan since 94.
him flipping the bird at the maschine then chuckling about it was such a pure and relatable moment. i love my maschine, but i often have moments like these. i'd love to grab a drink with kenny, what a personality.
Legendary yet somehow underrated. Mr Kenny Larkin.
Love Kenny. Butterflies is one of my all-time favorite tracks.
Love listening to him talking. Very down to earth and humble. He’s funny too, can see how he ended up doing stand up comedy as well as music.
Love this, Kenny Larkin is so great, what an awesome studio!
Raw good soul music. Take note - this is what Techno is about. Soul music
I love his sound so much. You're a hero.
Loving the attitude of Kenny Larkin. It's very refreshing to hear someone talk why he bought a "Moog One" and a "Deckard's Dream". Many thumbs up at 8:06 ... hahahaha!!! :-)
The intimacy of the room I love it ❤️❤️❤️
We love you Kenny!
$8000 Moog One and a $300 Behringer Model D, hell yeah
thats how its done :)
and a 72.000€ mixing console
Came here to find this comment.
70'000 dollars speakers
I mean the explanation about not wanting to deal with repairs is totally valid
always loved him
Love that dude, he is such a nice guy and really explains what makes me do music - the feel! Awesome dude
Been Listening to Kenny's music for many, many years. Legend.
Lol, I feel so called out with the Deckard‘s Dream comment.
100% true
Very handsome and charming producer. Oh yeah... his music is fantastic too!
This guy is my spirit animal
So refreshing for a Producer to be so simplistic and real in both his approach to the Interview and the making of Music.
Like him and his humbleness. 👍👍👍👍
Maritime (Artificial Intelligence, 1994) started it all for me, thank-you Kenny.
I hope i have half this guys charisma and excitement for the craft when i reach that point in life.
I adore his energy
What an awesome nice bloke Mr Larkin seems to be - really inspiring
Although it was brief, it was a huge honor to meet him in person at DEMF on May 27 of 2001. He was very friendly and easy to talk with.
Kenny "Self-proclaimed Gear Slut" Larkin. Wonderful dude!
I love his energy
"When you start spending money on studio equipment.............you can't stop!". Never a truer word spoken.
Best tech talk so far - Kenny, can I come and live under you API? 😍
😂
Telekom Electronic Beats, I Love you
❤️
The more I watch this guy the more I love him, I'm exactly the same with my modest studio.
Love Kenny.
This guy is a Legend! One of the best tech talk :)
Responsible for one of the greatest remixes ever for me. "la synthesis - agoraphobia". Outrageous remix
The white guy from LA Synthesis used to work in my local music shop! Nice guy
What an engaging interviewee and what a bloody studio. Immense.
What a lovely guy.
Very inspiring! Kenny is a brilliant artist and producer.
prob one of the best OG house producers tbh. and still puts out shit that sounds fresh... unlike aLOT of older dudes who got lost in the newer production standards
I agree. Newer production standards suck the life out of music - they have that cheesy big club hi-fi quality i can't stand.
@@ownedbymykitty270 over production for the sake of doing so. People gotta get out of their own way
Liked him since Artificial Intelligence 2. Also noticed we have the same rug, so like him even more now.
I'm 100% self taught...A tinkerer...A mad scientist..A sample wizard.. A mix Master of unexpected sounds..so I understand the man.
A real talent and obviously a nice lad, too. I've always loved his music, Azimuth is an amazing album. I love his honesty about how he creates and where he gets his inspiration from, too. No pretence, just sharing the music. He's the polar opposite to some artists you could mention in Detroit.
Love this, true, joyful & honest artist and that's what your hear back in his music. Great episode !
Great to see Kenny in his studio, thank you for doing this
love his fresh honesty. No bs...just truth and inspiration
Never heard any of his music but I love his energy. Will be checking him out
What a badass human being.
kenny one of the real masters forreal! [edit] ...and he looks like a great person too.
Ein Super lockerer Typ und ein tolles Studio.
What a man 🥰
Great space - Great vibe - Great attitude! 😀👊
Detroit techno legend, thanks for uploading.
I’ve been buying his tracks on an off since the 90s. Always different and musical.
Buy? Whats this buy you speak off?
Lovely set up... lovely guy!
Cool dude. It was refreshing to hear his take on things. The ending statement is hilarious.
He’s just awesome
Love his music. Love the way he goes about making it
bought metaphor two months ago, still like it.
Amazing studio and workplace.
words. thsnk you for making us feel okay about our 'feel'
Very inspiring I had kenny larkins first album on cassette lol
Great Analogy on Music...
Yup, the glory these days is to be able to afford the vintage synth sounds through new versions of the machines. Samplers and granular synthesis is something that back in the day was inly for the rich. Awesome studio!!
What a genuinely likeable bloke.
Kenny is the man!
love this guy
I love this guy!!
I don't know who this guy is but now I'm hooked! Gotta check out his music because his enthusiasm is infectious! Very cool!
the 4th bellevue three.
keys, strings, tambourines is a damn fine album
Thank you so much for this wonderful content! You guys really are the best at this!
Not a musician, I was a "Pack Rat" sold everything that had a preset...went modular...never looked back. I like the fact that I have to patch and turn knobs to get the creative juices going. Great Video!.
Great charisma and honesty & great editing. Gonna go check his sound 4 sure
Kenny is so cute and humble ! It is so good to see such a free minded beautiful people ! Tech talk team thank you for such a good interview. Studio is top ! API mixer and barefoots are amazing.
Enjoyed Kenny's music for a long time now.
Great interview! Love this.. Kenny Larkin keeps it real. Thank you for this
that console is beautiful
I like this video. I like his style of music and his honesty about how he creates it. Watching videos like these is what inspired me to become a composer/music producer. These videos are the best at inspiring anyone to be creative. Thank you Mr. Larkin
Wow, the Moog One, what a silky sound... 🤤 great musician. This guy broke the music rules years ago. I like to see people like him always young. Very inspiring 🤟🏼
Kenny Larkin OG Detroit Pioneer for sure..... very unpretentious funny commentary it was pretty cool I like it
Hell yeah Kenny, Ballin!
Thanks for lighting up my day :) Also he has almost the same approach to music like me. Don't think too much, just do it and listen to what's happening. That's all there is to it really.
Love ya´vibe and aproach Kenny ;) Ure a amazing creator in this universe,...that what´s matters Much
Don't beat yourself up? we're all ho's for the gear!🎹🎧💫😵👍
yup, he has an honest point when it comes to not using all your gear to its full potential. if its the right gear it could/should take a lifetime anyway :)
This Is My Style of Thinking Love it
Oh, Kenny is such a good guy, funny dude.
Agree with his philosophy on music!
Thank you kenny for detroit techno
LEGEND
Very inspiring 🙌🏻
I love this interview, he's so honest :D
