Ambient poly synth jam with the NDLR, Deckard's Dream, OB-6, Peak, Dreadbox Abyss, Polymoon, Big Sky

[@TheBrettEnglish]

I just wanted to come back here nearly 2 years later to say: this is the video that started it all. Before this video, I'd only admired synthesizer music, and had only just begun exploring VSTs. This video opened me up to the weird and mysterious (and expensive 🤯) world of hardware synths, sequencing, dawless (and dawful) jamming etc. Many thanks, and abundant gratitude to Mr Jay Hosking for all of his videos that help to demystify these devices. I am on a new life path, thanks in part to this video. I shall now go support his patreon. I hope you will do the same. Thanks for indulging me.

[@JayHosking]

Thank you, Brett. This is amazing to read.

[@EshockT]

Did you get an NDLR and use it to drive compositions?

[@TheBrettEnglish]

@@EshockT no. My setup is smaller and slower. Inspired, nevertheless.

[@EshockT]

@@TheBrettEnglish Your comment prompted me to get on Patreon and support Jay and LoopOp for good measure. The two of them combine to bring such a deeper understanding to electronic music to those of us who have been tangentially around synths but not active creators. I’m finding the NDLR an interesting music theory teaching tool because it really encourages experimentation in so many different modes and chord progressions. The motifs also promote voice leading which is one of those golden rules of music composition. There are few of those, but when changing chords it’s always better to repeat their common tones whenever possible is like one less variable to deal with. I ramble, but wanted to let you know the impact of thoughtful comments.

[@TheBrettEnglish]

@@EshockT I too support the two of them ✊. A great team of deep information.

[@alejandromagana1554]

Imagine having this setup deep in a forest at a cabin, no civilization sound or any distraction, just music... life goals :) this is really lovely and calming.

[@benbowland]

Bon Iver but with synths

[@bill_astro_music]

Just need electricity :-)

[@badhombre2484]

I definitely am trying to arrange something like that this winter...

[@PANTA-Music]

I would probably die, as I would forget to get food and eat.

[@masterj6654]

Wanna get high?

[@gregorykulinski2186]

You are an inspiration Jay. I keep your music close to my heart. Thanks.

[@simwalk100]

Ever since the Magic Fly & especially the Chase, add a bit of Oxygene....then pause....onto Pilotpriest, MAVS & Royksopp & M83....and now to find JHosKing.....it just gets better & better! Fantastic channel Jay add me as a lifelong fan.

[@DarkTapes]

my god, everything about this is beautiful.

[@SiliconBassist]

Keep coming back to this. It is a perfect example of how expressive synthesizers can be even when sequenced. Absolutely stunning performance

[@SiliconBassist]

Incidentally, I also just ordered a Polymoon and a DDRM MK2, a pair inspired by this video lol. Also ordered a K-Board Pro 4 for MPE goodness

[@Treenote]

This is a really nice jam. The text explaining what’s going in is nice too as it makes it easier to follow along and understand what everything is doing.

[@badbenjy]

Those progressions are just beautiful. The layering of the different voices too. I'll be listening to this again. Thankyou.

[@rayderrich]

4 years after the making this gem is presented to me by the KZbin Gods, they should have known better far sooner.

[@stephenparker7478]

This song put me down for a 5 hour nap at the start of vacation. Fantastic.

[@nooneknows3478]

This is the best desktop syth jam I've ever seen! Criminally low subscribers, only a matter of time before that number explodes! Keep doing what you're doing, much love, respect and support for Australia 🦘❤

[@Adymus]

I literally just went and ordered a NDLR after just 3 minutes of this video. I have never been so insta sold on a piece of gear in my life.

[@RikMaxSpeed]

Lovely collection of synths! And gorgeous sound - a continually shifting palette of analogue tones!

[@11smallroaches1]

I found out about the NDLR last night. Thanks to you I'm ordering today. Great device, stunning performance Jay! Your text descriptions help make the video superb.

[@DitBeaugrand]

Cosmic ! Majestic ! ....Seriously

[@MikkelGrumBovin]

This piece is the piece i play for my friends , to impress them with what MY synthesizers CAN sound like - (if i had youre brain - which i dont, but like a seasoned stagemagician, i keep that info to myself) No matter how many times i hear this piece - it have a DEEP ,filmic mental impact ,-

[@RuiGon1]

Very good. The music and the noodler.

[@beezzarro]

this is raising sooo many goosebumps I don't know if i can keep listening

[@Genshi]

Beautifully done Jay! Also, jealous of your Deckard's Dream and OB-6.

[@matthewbucknall8350]

Man, when the Peak comes in! What a sound!

[@a.w4846]

Man, when the Novation Peak enters song 💜 Overall a lovely song and a delightful symbiosis of created patches and FX.

[@simonbecker748]

This sounds heavenly... Words don't do it justice

[@melomotioncomposing]

Dream setup 😎 beautiful piece of music 😍

[@RanD0mCity]

Jay Hosking, you have a remarkable gift my internet friend. I stumbled upon your video today because I'm excited about buying my first synthesizer the MOoG grandmother in about two month, and I just want to say my friend, that you exemplify the meaning of what it means to be a true synth artist. I hope to one day have as much gear as you and translate my soul into the electric as you do. Something great will come out of this for you if it already hasn't. I'll continue to enjoy your music man. Peace Brother.

[@JeffHendricks]

This is incredible. If there's ever a sequencer that's tailor made for ambient, the NDLR is it. And you used it exactly how it was made to be used. Simply inspiring!

[@MarkGardner66Bonnie]

Wow.... just beautiful music...and explained at the same time... ti gives me hope to be able to do something like this as well... thank you Jay!

[@ChristopherSimmons]

This is the video that made me put in my order for a NDLR ! :)

[@BihlerOfficial]

This is so amazing

[@takitacarey]

almost speechless, deeply moved

[@Deshams]

keep on doing just exactly what your doing here, could honestly listen all day and night. Thank you.

[@dzman1976]

This is effing gorgeous.

[@AngMoKio8]

Impressive jam and synth collection 😮 I think you combined all my dream Synths that I will never have. 😭

[@AngMoKio8]

I come back to this video so often. Really inspiring. Great work! 😎🎧🎶🎵👍🏼

[@khristiangeisse9693]

This is the most beautiful synth music I've ever heard, magnificent!

[@benread]

Found this yesterday - loved it. Had to come back today for more - this is seriously good stuff, well done!

[@DarrylMcGee]

Beautiful NDLR jam! And an epic set of voices, tuned to perfection. Nice work.

[@rippsteinbruno5809]

Super geniale Musik zum Fliegen in die Entlosigkeit 😊🎉

[@badhombre2484]

Deckard's Dream... what a synth. Great arrangement and tones =)

[@lozza9789]

Another great track Jay, thank you! My NDLR has arrived and I’ve been steadily introducing it to some friends to play with, it is incredible. You end up in some totally awesome places just following your ear and not thinking too hard on the technicalities of what you’re doing. Please keep the annotation in your vids, and the key, as getting a nice chord progression is such an amazing thing. Cheers!

[@girl.the.beast.103]

Its so beauteful accords, VIVA NDLR and VIVA Jay Hosking ! I love your Stuff bro, and you inspired me for new Ideas... and I thank you for this

[@tylero8595]

This is great. I like you're script saying what you are doing. Peace yall. Never stop dancing.

[@SpikesStudio3]

Hey Jay, I keep coming back to this one. Thanks mate. Ace.

[@Jegkedermigmega]

Wonderful piece for these wintertimes. Solid line-up of "friends" in this arrangement. Looking *very* much forward to seeing all of these jamsessions assorted into something complete on bandcamp, so I can throw some "gratitude" your way. These pieces really are something else :)

[@JayHosking]

Got an ambient and a drummy album up on bandcamp now, from earlier this year. Please check them out if you haven't already!

[@newmanjoven9807]

Fantastic. Pure creativity. You make music, not annoying noises. Congrat.

[@kenlusk4528]

Love this one. Really nice! Been looking at the NDLR and this jam makes it hard to resist incorporating one into my setup.

[@CraftyOldGit]

Back here listening to this again and loving the lush sounds, how the music builds and releases. A wonderful collection skilfully played.

[@electricarchaic]

Thanks for indulging us.

[@guts2112]

I really like how your head is in focus. Makes it look cinematic.

[@MobiusVideo]

This made me laugh out loud! 🤣 Thank you 😊

[@xox303xox]

This is awesome! Chords and synths sounds fantastic. I found, that somehow the chord progression did not want to end in the end, i just felt it could keep going forever. Nice work, ordered mine ;)

[@jimlopezzo3344]

Beautiful stuff! Heavy old school Tangerine Dream vibes

[@lorenzorisonanza6934]

I love your music. Sometimes I play it while doing my meditation practice. It's just wonderful.

[@BdeVentura]

from other planet man. I love this jam. Inspiring & blessed! thanks for sharing. Peace. B.

[@renevanderkraats3811]

Je-sus.....listened to this before, but the moment the Peak really puts it's back into it with the drone at 2:06...delicious!

[@Nyhde]

I got a wake up call from my electric company. Heart racing. Could've slept some more. Listening to this helped me calm down. Thanks for the music!

[@sophiaevans3441]

This is the ideal soundtrack for masking the sound of my sobs as I study for the 304 final. Thank you for the additional resources, Jay 🙃

[@JayHosking]

WORLDS COLLIDE

[@DarkSideofSynth]

Jesus a Deckards and OB6. It's like a Grandfather speaking beautiful truths to his Grandson.

[@thebullion24k]

This gave me chills, I'm so glad I found out about you!

This is an awesome performance. Thank you for sharing.

[@Karkusha91]

Amazing, Very Beautiful, Fantastic

[@sayerseely3195]

This is my favorite of your jams... love it.

[@SidBarnhoorn]

Beautiful and inspiring!

[@phpn99]

Baroque organ composers would totally find themselves at home in this compositional concept

[@urmumsbaps]

I'm pretty sure Baroque organ composers would probably freak out and think they'd been adbucted by aliens if they were exposed to this setup

[@MikkelGrumBovin]

They ARE!

[@MikkelGrumBovin]

@@urmumsbaps This track is EPIC Sci fi film music!

[@gotenks222]

Well the church organ was the first synthesizer if you think about it🤔

[@pthomas36]

I've been considering a NDLR for a while now, and this seals the deal. What an ingenious little beast it is. The tones you got here are breath-taking! I immediately looked up the DDRM, only to be sad about not being able to immediately afford one. Anyway - lovely track.

[@xpump876]

really beautiful work!

[@andyjey3126]

Now I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes. Absolutely fantastic. Really, very very good ... I'm excited to see how the NDLR sounds with my Andromeda A6 ... Greetings from Cologne Germany

[@gabrieljennings5492]

Great video, great sound, and particularly great that you took the time to add notes! Thanks for the hard work you put into this.

[@marcopulega7036]

Really captivating, and well done. Thanks

[@onito974]

very beautiful sound , incredible sequencer but you use it greatly and the result is awesome !!! thanks for this great performance

[@rodzeroher]

love your set ups, and the way you showed the ndlr here is top notch.

[@braedendalby2101]

Cool setup, super dope sounds

[@Jaa_kko]

Omg this is the best thing ive ever heard

[@bobsondugnutt9466]

Very cool! The explanations were much appreciated too!

[@jamesdelrogers542]

Reminds me a little of tangerine dream in the 1980s, very nice underwater sunlight was my favorite

[@danielvinklar1105]

... this was the video that got me to order NDLR immediately last year... been running my Prophet 12, Blofeld and most recently Digitone with it... this must be Nth time while watching the video and 1st time realising the at least one of the camera angles is not recorded live or at the same time as the other camera angle... as the relative positions of NDLR and Peak differ... :) ha! :) very cool video and nice track... need to play with my NDLR some more again... cheers!

[@JayHosking]

Both camera angles really are recorded live at the same time. When I get a minute I'll go back and try to see what you mean. And thanks for the kind words!

[@pfmmodule5144]

NDLR rocks. Has some intriguing rhythmic possibilities too when paired with Model Samples.

[@trendhopper1]

Words fall short to describe how much space this creates in my head ... So elegantly put together! Would make a wonderfull intro to a full album/story!

[@MiCtiSilen]

I am listening your performances all this day. YOU ARE MASTER OF SYNTH ... MIND BLOWING, AMAZING, GREAT, AWESOME and IT'S A DREAM. - - - I would like to know this once. - - - GOOD LUCK

[@monomakes]

Lovely sounds. Thanks for the music, upload and captions!

[@coryzma11]

My new favorite song. This is absolutely beautiful.

[@Renzsu]

Thaaat's it, you sold me on the NDLR :) Beautiful as allways.

[@tonydonnelly783]

That was mesmerising! Really good 👍🏻👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@thefrozensea9314]

Really enjoyed this one, nice work!

[@mamojula]

This performance is what made me order the NDLR, shows everything what the NDLR is made for and is capable to do in my opinion. Very well choosen sounds!!

[@davidrobertson4301]

Yes I had to come back to this and play it through a couple of times. It's good
