This track has been haunting me for a while now so I decided to see if I could reverse engineer a few of the sounds on my system. initially I only wanted to do the bassline but I got a bit carried away and ended up doing the entire thing. It might not be an exact clone but I definitely learned a lot in the process of trying to recreate those sounds.
I hope that Jon Hopkins has heard this. Well done Colin. This is the nuts.
One of my favourite artist playing another another one of my favourite artist on a modular system. Thank you !
I read that he makes a lot of his tracks by resampling his synths, which makes it more impressive that you did all this live.
Wow man, just wow. Such attention to detail, especially with those super-tricky hats. Amazing cover/recreation of on of my all-time favorite tracks!
Damn, this is impressive, his sound design seems untouchable
All studio accidents with tons of gear are untouchable and unique. The kind of unique as any pile of dog shit is unique in form and composition.
@@theeltea You din't have to compare your life with the studio accidents tho but yeah
@@Nikhil-ub3is I'd worry about your own if I were you. Nice necro, btw
@@theeltea I'm getting the word... Bum 😂
@@xgtwb6473 someone's getting it
Man, this thing is solid company to the original!
Simply incredible
this video deserves way more than the current view count
Colin Benders = Stephan Bodzin - software + hardware + hair
To be fair 90% of Stephan Bodzin's tracks are the Moog Sub 37
"+ hair" ;p
Neh, the style is totally different.
@@cueva_mc not so much... The vibes are pretty similar but Bender is much harsh for sure
Great creative experience doing something not many could begin to wrap their head around on a modular system. Congrats.
Impressive you're very talented ! Open eye signal is my favorite song ^^
MIne too
This is absolutely incredible! 🤯
Blows my mind every time I revisit this. I would love to see you replicate drone logic by Daniel avery. I managed to catch him playing that live whilst peaking on acid - fond memories 🤩
Jesus Christ I can only imagine
Oh shit, one of my favorite tracks redone by one of my favorite modular artists 😍 I'm loving this
If Jon hasn't seen this then that is a crime, he'd be impressed
This is godlike. Like mastering music composition which I thought is infinite, to the maximum.
Absolutely stunning! Thank you very much for this gift, Colin! Cheers!!
Good lord, this must have taken ages. Brilliant work
Colin - You are a real inspiration man, glad to see you are back to putting your live jams out there. Hope the new keyboard is working out.
wow! just hands down amazing work! I love the original song and this has all the bits and pieces in place!
With the hair, you look like a mad scientist but rather then creating something evil, you produce magic. Great cover!
Genius, diamonds, Moonshine, love dust
You know how they say owners look like their pets.......?
No Neck let me guess, his hair looks like a spider?
Joey Venal
Nope. More like a bowl of wires
An underated comment for sure
Made my day 🤣🔥
You mean like their sock puppets
Amazing and detailed cover.
Loving what you have been putting out over the last couple months that I have known about you.
YES, I love that track and I love modular, what a treat
An all time favourite
This is incredible stuff, collin... great layers, super punchy kicks. Love it
I wish this video would never stop! Amazing work dude! 👍🏻
Brilliant cover of an incredible tune. Thank you!
This is insane-. Luv your work Colin!
Man, you're incredible! Thanks for this work of art
Are you remaking the song from scratch? Or you are jumping around samples. I love that song and your version brings a next dimension love it!
Fkn right! This whole groove is like a subtle pull from gravity
Soooo good! Absolute nostalgia
That's an impressive version. Well played!
This is a mega cover Colin, love the original, especially Jon's KEXP session. Well done on crafting that perfect bass sound too haha 👌
Amazing!! It should be released as a remix. Great work Dude.
Your best work yet.
Breathetaking! I need this sound on my bike :D I'll discover your channel for similar tracks. Very good work. I said WORK. You are impressive!!!
This is sick! How does this not have more views?
Haha ik had niet verwacht dat je nog dieper in deze track zou duiken, vond het al tof dat je een poging deed om deze track na te bouwen, maar dat je er nu bent Is echt boven verwachting. gruwelijk werk Colin! kan niet wachten op de dag dat we je mogen versterken 👍
This is insane. You are are a master my friend.
I have to admit, this is impressive.
wow this flew by
impressive, really like ur works
That was epic
Colin Benders = Pure Musician ! Pure Art !
thats awesome... wow!
id end up strangling myself in all those wires! great effort man... a question - the main lead line that squelches, how do you do that?
Mr Bit Music opening and closing a low pass filter
man I feel like youre the most talented electronic musician i've ever seen but feel like this is the first time i've heard you play something that could be jammed....you gotta get a good producer that can pull that sound out of you man you got too much talent.
just WOW, amazing work
Always inspiring. Thanks for this!
wow really impressive!
Dis is lit
Love your process, methodical, educational and with a hint of chaos. Feel like I've heard this riff from one of yr other vids before, very familiar....
heh indeed! I was working on this the same day of one of my earlier streams, so the very first thing in that stream was a quick run of the patch I still had set up. rest of that entire stream is just jamming away on the same patch. cant recall which vid it was though...
got all yr vids on a loop, ill let ya know when i find it again lol! how many years you put into learning the mod?
into the arms of the musical maker
very nice!! :) one of my favorite tracks!
waanzinnig.. leerde deze track pas onlangs kennen.. je doet hem eer aan :)
Did you move your setup or is this just old footage? really cool also!
Amazing work, please play this on Lowlands!
Very good music!
Well done, that's impressive!
Is your set up on modulargrid Colin? Would be great to get a proper tour sometime so you could talk us through what module choices you made and how you use them in your tracks.
Here's my current full collection (in no particular order) www.modulargrid.net/e/racks/view/417103 its not all in my case since it doesnt quite fit. but I'm working on a new setup where I will have access to everything.
Great cheers!
Nicely done!
You're insane in a good way
gruwelijk!
Helemaal mee eens!
Holy shit
Einfach genial!
Danke
🤫😌🎧
Fair play, very cool.
i wanna make the same type of music on a modular but i dont know what this genre is called or how to start builiding something that sounds similar. any advice?
I'm replying one year late, but if it can be of any help, he makes a lot of his bass lines on a Korg ms 20. The Morgasmatron filter by Intellijel is supposedly a good imitation of the filter from that synth.
Then as an oscillator I think you could use any module that makes saw and square waves.
For all the glitchy percussions I'd say the fastest route is to have some sort of sampler, because you would otherwise need a huge system to emulate all those different textures at the same time. There are also some really interesting digital percussion modules out there, like the WMD fracture, chimera and crucible. For the kick and sub bass something like a basimilus iteratas alter might work, though it might not be very accurate (it has a huge range though, and it sounds really nice in any case). You obviously need an EQ and a compressor for drums to fine tune them and get a polished sound, or you could have external hardware or software for that.
You also need some nice long reverbs and granular delays, to make those super lush atmospheres Jon has in most of his tracks. Something like the mutable instruments clouds.
He uses a lot of field recordings, vocals, piano, strings, etc that he uses to make his atmospheres. For that the only way is sampling and reverb.
Throw a distortion module of some kind in there and some digital mangling effects like a bit crusher, a delay module too, a bunch of utility modules, sequencers, LFOs and envelopes and you could make something that maybe has a similar aesthetic. But honestly, his music is heavily reliant on resampling and using a ton of digital effects, without a massive system you couldn't do it. I would personally just try to recreate the stuff he does with analog synths, like the bass lines or the pluck sounds and maybe the kick and do everything else digitally.
TL;DR: you can make the bass with any oscillator and a Morgasmatron, for everything else you're better off with software
Brilliant.
Amazing. Good job
Wow! Amazing!
Fucking amazing
wow great job!
Amazing!
amazing
this is awesome! how did you do all this glitchy hi hat in the background?
I love you man!
Unreal
Шикарно!
Ты опять выходишь на связь? Телефон поставили?
Ain’t no fucking way you recreated this piece into modular? Gah damn.
WOW
One of your best, IMO. You masterfully keep it evolving in consistently interesting combinations. The reverb-drenched glitchy (or sampled?) percussive foundation felt fresh and evocative. However, the whole side chain compression kick thing is starting to feel way tapped out to me (not really a comment specific to you or this piece, although this piece certainly has it ).
WOW! WTF
this is epic shit bro
lekker bezig colin
This is insane. how are you getting that slow vibrato pad sound? been searching for ways to get that from my modular
Is it just Colin skillz or does Open Eye Signal feel like a track naturally suited to a modular rendition?
Mind = Colin Bended
Can i please have this setup
Fucking Superfreak, thank you so mutch ...
I liked the earlier part. It sounded like a more relaxing version of the original but near the end, it just lacked the gravitas and "growl" found in the original. This was interesting to see, nonetheless, though.
Heel vet Colin!
What's the module on the top row, looks like a double VCO?
They are *MacBeth X series.*
With the 2 big knobs is a dual VCO,
with the 1 big knob in the centre is a dual filter.
@@massimookissed1023 now that I know this, I am sure I will be able to make a single that tops the charts. I am sure I would not have been able to do it without your help. I am so glad I asked, and so glad you answered. We are friends.
modular hair
It's a little bit lonely down here,
It's a little bit faint without you near,
Without you near... (:
thx
Улёт!
wow
