The NAMM/Vegas sequence took about 120 hours to compute on a pair of 3080 TI's. 🥵 I plan to upload the unedited sequence in it's entirety!
It was some stellar editing! A really impressive effect.
Good lord 2x 3080ti's and it still took ~5 days!! 😵
What did you record the video on? It was great looking. Thanks!
Sony! Got it. 🤣 should have waited longer.
I’d love to see/hear more about how you created the images. Very cool video!
Hi Ben,
I don’t usually comment, but I felt it was necessary just to let you know that I really appreciate your videos. I’m a teen struggling with autism and I resort to music to enter a more meditative mindset. Your content has helped me stay interested and focused even when it’s difficult. I can’t thank you enough for your informative and humorous contributions. I’m looking forwards to having my first live set!

You’ve really outdone yourself with that NAMM/Vegas Sequence. It just felt so good.
BJ’s liminal spaces tour; I’m here for it. Need a full series.
This is the kind of shit I love. Music creation combined with travel shots. Taking that drum sample at the start and turning it into something was amazing. Really very nice. Tempted by Play but resisting for now. Maybe I'll have a whisky or two and decide I need one later. Subbing (not sure why I wasn't already).
I really enjoy your videos too!!! and already a subscriber.
This is the best video on UA-cam right now. The images, the music, everything. I loved the shots of Middle America. Everything being shown felt very much like a relic of the past. Like trying to hold onto a dying world. Ace work here Ben. I’ve been waiting for this since you mentioned it in your original Play video. Well worth the wait. Thanks for putting it together.
Benn's review of the Play is what convinced me to take up music production as a hobby. Benn and the Play made this all finally look approachable, and now I'm into the deep end of education and experimentation. Thanks Benn!
The hard work into making it so approachable was all Polyend's. I have the cozy job of showing it off. ☺ But I'm always so excited to hear that someone's journey is starting! I wish you the best.
@@BennJordan I was originally drawn to your channel because of the vinyl video, and now I'm hooked into a whole new world of possibility. Thank you for your work!
I got Play mainly to sequence my synths and machines. I must say this thing is insane, in so many ways. It is even easy to sequence other sequencers, mainly Elektron ones - triggering patterns through program changes. Generative - forget bout other sequencers, this is it, has it all - random ,euclidian, so unique features. However, working with MIDI is not really explained well in the menu, mostly because it is expected from the user to perfect the audio tracks first. I think i will do a video on this. Great work Ben, you and Ziv made me get this and while I was waiting for it, I even got the tracker too lol
Masterpiece. The images are very powerful and the soundtrack you made is really great.
So captivating.
I’m definitely rewatching this many more times.
Thanks for all the effort, love, and sacrifice you put into your videos.
Absolutely wonderful piece of art. Makes me yearn for a new Flashbulb album.
Aww Benn, popcorn ready, excited beyond measure! :D
I'm blown away by my Polyend Tracker and now with this video I may order a Play.
I’d like to give 2 thumbs up. Not only is the music awesome, the images and video are even better, absolute work of art! Thanks for letting me take part on your trip!
Watching and listening to what you created felt like Koyaanisqatsi vibe. Thanks so much for reminding me of that piece of art!
Great stuff, such a vibe how your shots and compositions interplay. Enjoyed it immensely
i start to love your video(edits) more then your music. its just blowing my mind how many extra steps you take just to give it that little bit of extra finesse. totally impressed by that beautiful shots you always arrange, visually.
When I first saw/heard this piece, I took in and was impressed by a lot of the visual imagery and the way you chose to present it but didn't really give enough thought to how you were responding as a musician, which I can appreciate much more now. There are some deeply touching moments here and not entirely what I would have expected. I came back because you just posted your first piece about Polyend Tracker Mini and I needed a refresher but the trip has been so much more fulfilling than that.
I love the video. I expected something different, mostly like your other videos but I watched it on the big screen by stupid chance and it really moved me. The images, found sounds and video like the kids banging on buckets, but mostly the music, made from a single device, beautiful all the way around. All in all, a great cinematic and auditory treat. And your disclaimer at the end, not even necessary but appreciated. All that and pretty sure I recognize the highway, landmarks, and particularly some of the BBQ places that appear in the video, not that far way from me.
I just found and fell in love with your channel, I don't understand most of what you talk about but am fascinated by the force that sound is as well as music. Im in heaven.
Wow Ben! What an inspiring story. I enjoyed your video and your music. I was really impressed by Polyend, Perfect Circuit, and Voltage & Company. Thanks for sharing this video with us.
Ben, your cinematography absolutely blows me away. This whole piece felt both austere and somehow really hopeful. Thank you for making your incredible art and putting it out in the world!
Benn, thanks for this video. The edits, filming, composition image- and music wise are really really awesome. Very inspiring and also a bit intimidating I have to say. 😅 Anyways, I really enjoy your content and think the sincere and warm way you present all this here is really unique and great. Kudos and have a great 2023 with lots of creative ways to explore.
This is such a lovely video. Just beautiful music and great travel footage. Incredibly relaxing stuff. I wish all gear demos were like this.
I did this a few years ago by train - Amtrak's Rail Pass and an OP-Z. Unforgettable, and of course all the most inspired music is written in the most inspiring places. I don't have your video skills, but watching this feels like a return to that journey. If you ever decide to go by train (it's the most ecological & relaxing way to go!), I've got a million tips :) Thanks for doing what you do!
For someone like me, who never have been to the USA and probably will not get a piece of kit like the PolyEnd play, this was a wonderful trip (as in travel, not the drug-related thing). As I watched the sequences with images and video from what seemed to be the slow death of the old way of living I felt somewhat melancholic and a bit of (as Mojo Nixon put it) "Nostalgia for an Age That Never Existed". The AI-treated sequence with a lot of people looked to me like almost something out of The Matrix in the way it was presented. So, dusty (bot somewhat comforting) past and shiny (but somewhat scary) future got wed together in this video. So thanks to Mr. Jordan for releasing it...
I was subbed before, but now I'm really subbed. I enjoyed that very much and thanks for washing your camera gear in the sea to bring us such an illuminating tapestry of life and pointing it at cool things. :)
Loved the grainydays abandoned places/roadtrip vibe. Stellar editing, at turns deeply unsettling, meditative and compelling.
Really amazing work as always. You captured the feeling of walking around NAMM perfectly and it's oddly how I remember everyone's faces looking. The music was on point as well and makes me want to take a road trip with a Polyend Play!
I really enjoy all of your content, but this is something special here. Very well done, more of these please.
THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH, Benn! That was a perfect video with perfect music - I loved it.
There is a warmth and sincerity, an earthyness if you will, that shines through in your video capture and feels to have been seeded by those interactions before the journey began. Very wholesome footage
Amazing video, amazing music, and amazing gear-thoroughly impressed with what the polyend play can do.
Thanks for giving us all something great once again, Benn.
Wow!😊❤ Thanx man!
I think this was the video that'll make me save up for this machine. After a really tough period in my life I was forced to sell my studio 3 years ago and I quit making music after 30+ years. There was a rytm mk2, A4, a Digitakt, a Monologue (very under-rated synth) etc etc and more... Lately I've gotten and itch I can't scratch and pretending buying a small setup and pushing the buy-button on Thomann to see how cheap I can go to get what I need, has become a sport.🙂
Now, this and a Dreadbox Typhon seams to be a beautiful start.
Thanx again and keep up doing what you do 👊
The Lower Ninth Ward track has a strong Boards of Canada / Tycho vibe. I love it!
Dude. Benn. Long time listener.... This needs to be an EP or release of some sorts. So many incredible grooves and jams you made... truly an output of an experiential route you ran with this thing. Incredible... this is up a notch from even some of my favorite stuff you've done. It has soul. Please release this.
Nice work! I used to live in Las Cruces and it's a treat to see all this southwest/southern footage.
Wow I was just about to do a similar video for my trip to Scotland in two weeks!
Even more inspired now. What an amazing video. Thank you I am definitely gonna do it now.
Absolutely boss content, seen a few places from my travels in the states, took me right back. Great concept and showcase of the synth, and ur visual aesthetic is bang on.
I really enjoyed the Vegas section and I very much appreciated the transparency around company relationships at the end. Thank you.
Awesome video. Some very inspiring chord sequences near the backjack tables. I loved it all!
To me, this is what making art is all about. In this case, music and photography. Getting inspired and creating an emotional response through the music and visuals. It really doesn’t matter what instrument(s) or camera you use, and I love the limitation of just being able to use the one piece for everything.
Love the song, lots of variety and it’s just as much a journey as your trip was.
I really like your videos already and think the music is great, THIS video is CRAZY though like this was a GREAT video and the music is awesome and everything just worked so well especially the visuals like WOW!
Great video Benn. The time and effort you pour into your videos really shows. Bravo! Next time you roll through Tucson, head up Mt. Lemon. In 45 minutes you go from a desert city to green forest with plenty of great views of the surrounding landscape.
Lovely sounds! Thank you for bringing them to us.
We're struggling with GAS, meanwhile this kid is rocking out on a plastic bucket. Humbling!
I hear you, I just got my Polyend Tracker, have the Dirtywave M8 ordered and now thinking about a Polyend Play.
bucket on a budget
Real cool track and music project, mate! Loving music making while traveling! just back from 2wks on sands with OP-Z and M+ this time. Photo/video gear people should chime in as well for this beautiful sandy camera shot! :)
I just spent 4.5 hours in a plane with the Play and admit it was a lot of fun. MUCH more immediate than the Tracker, but also an equal amount of flexibility missing. Are you going to go into what you liked/didn't like about using the Play for an extended period of time?
Holy heck, what a project. The vertigo zoom pull in the hotel hallway? The AI face weirdness? The friggin music? The music?! Cheese and rice, what a thing this is. Well done.
That, that was an experience. A journey through the journey. I got drawn in, mouth agape, attention unwavering. The music and video intertwined so beautifully. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for making this Benn, I’ve listened to this many times, great stuff.
I loved the music and the video. The video of New Orleans and (I'm guessing) east Texas was very interesting. I've been thinking about taking the time to get some field recording of factory sounds like at those plants. Lot of good character throughout the video. Music was on point too! (Also really liked the storms as I'm a bit of a weather nerd.)
your original reveal video sold me on this one, mine just arrived last week and I have barely even cracked into it, but this is making me want a vacation and time to play with it so badly
This was one of the best videos you've made so far. Amazing shots and serious vibes with the music.
This was extraordinarily lovely. I really love the music here, and the vintage-y footage just feels right. My mom sent me video of (I think?) that same tornado from her ipad, and it was so funny to pop up there and think you were filming somewhere nearby while my mom was too, lol.
Great story, good on the the synths company involved. love to see things like this!
Thank YOU so much Benn! It was a cool experience to met in person instead of dropping YT comments :D
I'm thankful for your friendship, support, and most of all, Red Lobster. 🦞
@@BennJordan The last day we went to the mountains nearby, Big Bear Lake? and got Lobster Red suntan too! :D Ouch.
Awesome video, Benn! Been dreaming of doing something like this with my maschine
Just hook a battery up and leave your house ! 🪫 😃
One of my favorite UA-cam videos. Creative idea. Executed so well. Music is lovely. Images so evocative. 1) can you do a breakdown video so show how you did some of this on the play (or was there a LOT done in post on the computer?), and 2) do more of this type of vid if the spirit moves you! Thank you!!
Amazing, beautiful. The Scanner Darkly masks were so trippy, too.
Amazing work as always. Thank you for the video and wonderful music experience.
Beautiful, can't wait to show this to my friends! Thank you!
I actually just said to myself, what piece of gear would be the most fun to play on holiday for 3 weeks? So I bought the play. Largely inspired by Ben’s previous vid. Great work!
This was truly a fantastic innovative video. More than that the soundtrack was very very special. Thanks so much
Second channel with long form versions of these videos like this would be good vibes. I really love voiceless travel videos to play in the background like the long train rides.
I knew you were going to drop something mystical from your adventures but this really exceeded my expectations. Boggles the mind how many hours you poured into this. Was a real pleasure to NAMM with you :) pod soon ! This is haunting stuff. Really had me spellbound.
That was beyond words! The world is a better place with your creativity and you being lovely authentic you. Thank you for sharing
been waiting for this one! shot at the beginning here looks exactly like the midwest hellscape that I live in.
That was fun to jam along to.
Already had my guitar in hand, the rest was just trying to modulate Lady Bird around your shifting key centers and rhythms.
Never played Lady Bird in F# before lol.
Wow, just wow. The first part of the video whith all those empty buildings was so post-apocalyptic. This video felt lime a piece of museum art.
GREAT music! this video is a very welcome addition to my work day, thank you!
I really appreciate the juxtaposition of the lively music and the old, worn-down buildings against the the first still and slightly angsty music with the endless hallways of the convention center.
I’m a big fan of your stuff and this is one of your absolute best. Well done!
Had to Pause to just add this comment to really say thank you for this Art piece. Would totally watch a Foto walk you talking Fotos with something like a point and shoot as you really do have an eye for perpective and cool shots. The whole concept of this Video somehow speaks to me I cant even describe.....some what epic and sad and powerful and thoughtful. Unbelievable.
Benn, your artistic talent and skill is breathtaking. Love your videos, diversity, cinematography and music! Please, never change :)
Love this video. So fun to watch. Sweet transition at 6:35.
That was wonderful on many levels, great vibes all round, especially loved the Scanner Darkly feel around the 9:30 mark in Vegas. Sorry about the Sony
Great, relaxing video with some spectacular visuals, Ben! What software did you use for the machine vision and face detection/replacement?
10:24 feels so nice!
What a journey, thanks for sharing!
Very American, so much open void.... Even in the places designed for multiple humanoids, large empty spaces, backrooms if you will. Mostly, where something of need is offered, these creatures often congregate in little swarms. Its the Liminal Road Trip through the eyes of a singular unit. I have fond memories of this sensation in 1995, looking forward to the full length directors cut, including all the cross country visuals 🙂
Beautiful dystopian mix. The facial recognition scrambling added just that last little unnerving bit at the end.
Lovely, thank you for the beautiful video!!
I love this machine! And you are doing a great job showing everybody what is possible with it. And the video is great too! Thanks!
Did you edit the video to match the sound or the other way around?
A little bit of both depending on the sequence. :)
This is your best episode. Really well done. Very much in the spirit of Baraka and Samsara.
Well that was a fun little sort of cross-country trip with sweet Benn music from my bed! Is it weird however that I mostly associate your music with the grey and gloom of the Oregon/Washington coast? I guess the reason for that is that's where I was when I first heard your music... some 12-15 years ago.
I watched this twice as I was blown away, and you have a new subscriber. I have the Polyend Tracker but not the Play, (Yet). Can you do a video of how you put some of the songs together? :)
I've been all over the southwest as it is one of the most interesting and significant places on earth and it's telling of it's geologic history....if you're into that sort of thing. But I would trade all my experiences on those trips to see that tornado in KS. Unbelievable.
NOLA is the most depressing, most fun place to go. It's a thing all to its own.
Fantastic video man. Sights, sounds. All glorious.
I really love this style for a gear video. As such, I might have to copy it.
Turned out well mate! I always look forward to 'When Ben leaves the house' videos 😁
Maybe I should sell my mpc live, maschine mk3 and jam for the Polyend Play. 1. More portable. 2. More my speed. 3. More fun.
Strong work in surviving Fremont St.
Great job overall!
Hey Benn! Loved the footage, music and the whole vibe you followed here.
How did you sample on the fly? With what gear? And how did you process those files and transport them to the Polyend Play? Sorry if I missed that, just curious about the inner workings of this video!
This video was amazing. Also you make me feel so much less insecure about my salt and pepper facial hair because of how amazingly you rock it. Thank you for that.
I bow my head. You deserve that beautiful piece of gear. Singing the sweet song to polyend all the time. But: do we deserve this??? Beeing constantly in GAS? Thomann: availlable in 16-21weeks. Cmon polyend spit it out. I need no more convincing . Id buy it NOW.
I loved seeing the masks from some kind of people-identfying deep learning model. THEN -- seeing the face-obscuring results. That totally is how I picture the identity concealing suits in A Scanner Darkly. Do you have any info on that model / program? Awesome video, sorry to hear about your camera gear. Cheers.
I think that was done with DeepPrivacy, he linked to it in the description
That went by really fast! What a video!
It was magical benn....props to polyend for letting ou do this
Excellent!!! Love the music. Polyend is for reals!
Just amazeballz.
I admit I was listening on my phone. I will use better audio next time.
Sat in my greenhouse with my cat, and heard the whole thing.
Accompanied by some green plants for smoking, and some green plants for looking at, it was a good experience.
Man, I really enjoyed that. I was wondering if you were going to mention the camera, then the pictures...ouch. Great work!
