  • I did a livestream of my entire Amsterdam Dance Event performance at de melkweg in Amsterdam. I had been sick as a dog for a week so I took it a bit slow. eventually I couldnt help myself so I brought some chaos in the mix. was fun. lets do it again sometime!

      Yes, absolutely. The close proximity, the loving glances, the mutual stomping, the common vibe, the closed eyes and total immersive personal experience that you have yourself and see others having when you break periodically from the trance - is all part of the experience. Yes, I totally miss my strangers in dark venues.

    the room is dark the vibe is set, this is not a dubstep show.
    let people experience it how they want!
    Also @Colin Benders, this was truly beautiful. is there by any chance a wav or mp3 of the set available?

    This video is my first exposure to Colin's music. I was just reading about the fact that electric guitar sales have decreased drastically and the 2 largest guitar manufacturers are under water. This is because there are no current electric guitar virtuosos that have captured the popular consciousness. Now I see where the instrumental virtuoso has gone; he is in a packed room, playing modular synthesizers!

    Pretty incredible to see him come from being just a musician conducting his own band, to just having a 6U Eurorack making somewhat "bird" tunes to now being an influential in the modular synth genre. I say this but 2020's is going to see a huge shift to this, and I am just beginning too, hope to be able to play venues one day man.

    Pretty obvious he doesn't care if they dance or not, he's playing his music. If they dance, great, but his motivation is the sounds coming from that fun looking rig. Once lost in his own world of music he himself lets loose, if the crowd can't connect it's not his fault. Difference between DJ and live production; DJ tries to play the crowd, producer plays their heart.

      @@wispa1a indeed modular is super tricky to pull off for a live gig and small issue can ruin a whole show. That is what I like about my simple Elektron Analog 4 setup. One hardware box with 4 voices and tons of programmed patches that work like a charm. Now I don't have six cases of fancy Eurorack modules with hundreds of wires and cool flashing lights but I can put my whole show in one small pack and plugin and do a show right away easily without worries.

    An hour and change... stopped me from watching this for so long. I totally dig Colin but rarely have time for long vids. So I thought I'll just listen to it in segments. Nah, nothing doing... everytime I thought it would be a good time to pause the transition would kick in and I was sucked back in. Then somewhere around the 37 min mark all hell breaks loose...just sublime. Just so inspiring. I can't wait to get through this freaking pandemic and set up some gigs like this locally. Thank you Colin, you are a big part of my continuing to explore and share the never ceasing sounds in my soul.

      how much will a proper setup cost? (beginner in analog, basical/advanced knowledge with software synthesizers.
      I think because it's not a "all-in-one" device, it'll be veeery expensive (effect modules (delay/reverb) alone cost more than a few hundrets?!)
      Except you build em yourself with microcontrollers or buy cheap ones, not that too spaced technology thb.
      Your 2 cents? :D

      @@DropCoreYT Eurorack starts as an expensive hobby and turns into an addiction. Look on UA-cam for ‘must have modules’ and sketch it out. Not too many all in one synths do what modular does, so that might be a ‘cheaper’ option to start. If you get a decent semi modular synth you can add modules as you go along. Enjoy the journey.
