041//Space Drifting - an ambient cosmic journey (Moog Mother 32s, Eventide Space & Timefactor)

[@turtlemouth]

I feel like I'm on a bean bag, blissfully floating through the cosmos.

[@PianoHero1994]

This type of ambient atmospheric stuff is what convinced me to make the plunge into modular analog synthesis. Keep up the gorgeous patches!

Alexander McVittie Same here. I’m a mother 32 , Dfam , grandmother, eventide , Arturiakeylab , and a Traktor s4 deep. I love it. Except no one I know gives a crap So I’m searching or like minds.

@@jimmythevoice8716 I'm just getting into M32 and Subharmonicon and ambient patches work for me too.

[@scottgrittner2753]

me too. i just got my cat today

[@summer7034]

Me too i got a korg monologue as a Christmas gift because of it

[@78thandSynth]

Same. Started with sound studio 3/moog trinity so trying to decide where it goes from here. Generative Journey. Wonderful work!

Absolutely grateful for the great work you produce. I am very happy I found your channel and its wonderful musical soundscapes. The information and detail you give is invaluable for any newcomer in the world of synthesis. Thank you!

[@neoaureus]

Alastair !!! When I direct the next Alien sequel....I am gonna get you to do the soundtrack....

[@RemixSample]

Hey Alastair! Hope we get to hear more music from you soon! :D

[@AlastairWilsonMusic]

It's always at the back of my mind! Maybe someday...

[@VuLe-xe2hy]

I really love both of your musics!

[@arjuna207]

your videos are such a source of inspiration for me and it's not the first time i say this i think, you manage to do so much and so melodic with such a small system! its something i strive for too

[@gammasintesi4694]

A soundscape that makes me feel lost in space... excellent work! ;-)

[@njdpdv]

DUDE! I’m soo happy I found your channel! EPIC STUFF

[@garaughty]

Such lush, rich and complex tones... absolutely beautiful !

[@CampSpaceship]

Love it, been listening for awhile and finally realized all these great dual Mother jams are the SAME GUY! Great job mate!

[@AlastairWilsonMusic]

SIKE Cheers mate, glad you're enjoying them!

[@flleeppyy9959]

Holy shit this is powerful The bass gives it the spacey vibe! I love the occasional beeping as well! Please keep up your work! I love it so much

[@karma133]

Fantastic and inspiring compositions. Hope that there are more to come.

Wow. an immersion in futuristic environments. to listen and listen again!

Beatiful sound. Beatiful setup. Beatiful explanation. Instant like and suscribe. Thanks for sharing

[@MarcWeertsMusic]

Awesome - love the sounds and the reverb wash...

[@soundslikepdm]

finally a patch I can recreate without having to buy 4 new eurorack modules :D

[@solaryzer]

Fab , very spacious and musically complex , great stuff .

[@almightybeatz432hzofficial3]

Excellent, I love this, lovely movements of sound,

[@eddraper]

Cool! This opens up a lot of new possibilities...

[@ChanseMacabre]

Great patch and video! I feel like long-form generative patches are sorely underrepresented in the KZbin modular world, so I always look forward to your videos as something I can put on while working or reading. :)

[@AlastairWilsonMusic]

Glad to hear you enjoy them, it means a lot!

[@stateazure]

Gorgeous man, great job!

Bloody brilliant 💕💕

[@simonpoole2352]

Awesome work.

[@AmbientMusicStudio]

This sounds great. I can't wait to dig into the patch and learn how it works.

[@sobanskimusiclaboratory]

great music!

[@dreamdealer]

mesmerizing. great work.

[@InvertedPopesMusic]

Awesome and love the multi track will have to investigate that process. Wondering where you have gone as nothing for a month? You ok?

[@AlastairWilsonMusic]

I'm alive! I posted on my facebook page to explain my absence; I started university and I'm completely bogged down in work and side projects. I'm still active online and responding to comments and messages, but unfortunately videos won't be coming for the foreseeable future.

[@InvertedPopesMusic]

@@AlastairWilsonMusic Thanks for update. Shame about vids but appreciate your time will be shorter with you starting Uni. Good luck with that and we will await your future vids. Cheers.

[@sprungingforvoltage]

really really good

[@jonathanjenkins8630]

Good stuff!

[@NorfolkTraveller]

Stunning :)

[@zachary963]

This stuff is sooooo hard to create!!

[@jaredevans4831]

Yo could you do a to Tutorial on how to make ambient synths with the mother 32

[@AlastairWilsonMusic]

I don't have plans on making a video at the moment, because there's loads to say about how I make my patches, but in short - use reverbs and delays as part of the creative design, use modulation sources to modulate each other tons, and try and get as much contrast in timbre/envelope shapes/harmony/texture as you can!

[@jaredevans4831]

Alastair Wilson sick bro! Thanks I’ll use your tips also found shimmer reverb adds some cool effects

[@bridge2sound]

Very nice thank you! What are the 4 units above the 2 M32s?

[@AlastairWilsonMusic]

From lefet to right - Veils (Quad VCA), Minimod VCO, Minimod DH-ADSR envelope generator, Maths. All my video descriptions have patch diagram links to modulargrid, where you can see details of all the modules!

[@bridge2sound]

@@AlastairWilsonMusic Thank you! - Ordered 2 M32's for now to add into my setup.

[@agerven]

Just beautiful! Wondering how complex it was for syncing both individual recordings over 30 minutes?

[@AlastairWilsonMusic]

My audio and visuals always go out of sync after a few minutes because of the sample rate differences, it's no different with this one. Putting the videos in sync with each other wasn't a problem because, since I recorded both separately and they aren't musically related, they didn't need to be in sync! I just chucked them together.

[@leonaragonez7627]

I AM ELECTRO! X)

[@Firebird2078]

hiya! would it be alright if i sampled some of this in a song im working on? i can credit u if youd like

[@AlastairWilsonMusic]

Hey sorry for the late reply - yes, if you credit me you can sample this track. You can download a higher quality version from bandcamp via the link in the description :)

[@timmbrockmann959]

Can the sequencer of the Mother 32 be started/stopped by an LFO via the patchbay? And when it´s stopped and starts again, does it continue at the last step where it stopped? Hope that makes sense, thanks :)

[@AlastairWilsonMusic]

There's a CV input for starting and stopping the sequencer, and when you start it again it starts from where it left off - there's a separate input for resetting the sequence. Hope that helps!

[@timmbrockmann959]

@@AlastairWilsonMusic Thanks for the quick answer, yes that helps! I was considering sellign my Sub 37 for a Mother 32, but one thing I like about it is modulating the clocked sequencer speed by an LFO.. to get this randomness and speeding up and down of the sequence. Sounds like you can get into similar territory with the run/stop input.. there´s also tempo input next to it; so you can modulate the sequencer speed (also when clocked)?

[@AlastairWilsonMusic]

For sure you can modulate the tempo with an LFO (or any other CV) - either by clocking it from an external source, or by modulating the internal clock so the sequence speeds up and slows down. Using random voltage to modulate the tempo is something I've done in a lot of my videos to add variety!

[@timmbrockmann959]

​@@AlastairWilsonMusic nice! Yes I thought that it´s modulating options wouldn´t be any less than on the Sub37. I think I´m sold ;) Your tracks are great by the way, I love the self generating and changing patches and deep sound.

[@AlastairWilsonMusic]

Thank you! The M32 is a great little synth, you'll be glad to have got one.
