So damn professional/Viritouse. Don't understand anything about what you do, but sounds absolutely right. I'm a 51 year old artist who started with music 10 years ago. Piano because I wanted to understand what Philip Glass was doing. Then two years ago I bought an Arturia microbrut, and then I fell down the rabbit hole. Mother 32, mutable, synthesis technology etc. Thank you for what you are doing, making human sounding music whit modules. So rare and, in lack of a better word, inspiring.

[@marinbaric5465]

jonas eggen You are inspiring too. As someone who got into music at 26, I sometimes think I have come too late at the party. Stories like your make me remember it is the journey and curiosity and the feel good of these tracks and getting the knowledge along the way about it all. Sounds cheesy...but it’s the way it is!

[@jonaseggen2230]

You say: "like the universe, a space of endless possibilities". I say: "also include time into the equation". Stegosaurus lived about 150.8 million to 155.7 million years ago. Tyrannosaurus Rex became extinct about 65 million years ago. There is less years between the Trex and us than between these two dinosaurs. Geological time perspectives and the size of the universe for me makes almost anything and everything beautiful and bearable. (There is a bear in bearable) Contrary to the visual arts that I am educated in, in music time is part of the experience of the audience. But also in the making of visual arts time flies and or becomes irrelevant. I also experience and believe that music is something we find more than it is something we make. That it it is pre-human, and that it exists as long as there are ears. To me it sounds like you been doing music all your life. Audrey Niffenegger is a visual artist who eventual wrote "The Time Traveler's Wife". They made a film based on this book it I read is not so good, and her paintings are ok, but this novel is one of the best I' ever read. To change direction, find new spaces, recreate your self and get new experiences or knowledge I believe defines you and your age. Cheese btw is one of the greatest inventions of man. Thank you for your reply, I did not expect that.

[@marinbaric5465]

jonas eggen I am in constant search of wisdom that speaks to me, and I must say I did not expect this. I guess I must be doing something right to be bestowed upon something so enlightened in, out of all places, here? Now? Your words truly found home in some empty spaces I had about my purpose and role of music in my life and me. I am grateful that this is public too, and that someone else might see your perspective and kind words too. Thank you, most unexpected and welcome of you, kind stranger.

[@jonaseggen2230]

Marin Barić Thank you : ) I am glad that you found meaning in my words, and at the same time also honored and surprised. Your comment and this video is the reason that makes me surf KZbin instead of the Face, or watching TV. I believe what we get or find has less to do with what we do or Karma than with "chance" or "random". Not in the true sense of these words, but more like what is attempted to create in computers or with eurorack modules. We are sometimes lucky or unlucky depending on what crash into or triggers events. Like a game of pool. That what we do is the result of previous events. No one lives or experience life like that, but: "Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either Your choices are half chance, so are everybody else's". Mary Schmich (From "Everybody’s Free To Wear Suncreen" kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYWtaHSwd659pas

[@marinbaric5465]

Ditto regarding the surfing. You choose - do you consume other content? Or are you on your way to create and leave some impression, something behind you? Nobody cares - but you. All we have to do is choose what to do with the time that is given to us...words of a great wizard :) Your words seem like they come out of some meditation practice, whose primary purpose is also to understand that all things are impermanent and transient, and that clinging to safety of non changing and autopilot routines is essentially wasting ourselves away. I wish you all the best and more on your path to further music to be stumbled upon, as you say. I have followed you and I fully expect that I will see some great music from you on your channel!

[@FranckMartin]

I like the live patching, that’s awesome

[@mattatease]

I saw ‘Clair de lune’ two days ago, yesterday I bought my first real analog synth, drum machine, hybrid synth, mixer, and recorder, as well as bought Ableton live 10. You’ve inspired me to create.

[@MrCrux]

Jesus christ lad, you've got some disposable income then...

[@hugo2587]

how much doshv you got mate

[@whaaaa869]

After reading your comment 15 minutes ago, I went on Amazon and bought a real vintage analog synthesizer, a $20,000 mixing board, a shitload of patchcables and a 55 gallon barrel of lube. Namaste, my brother, you've inspired to consume!

[@davidrobertson4301]

how you going with your collection will you upload anytime soon?

[@archivedaccount2049]

Emergence is a beautiful phenomenon. Chaos theory from which it derives is the primer for tangible existance, or so what we perceive as existance.

[@alexneptune9353]

This reminds me of hearing Hiroshi Yoshimura and the "music for nine post cards" album I used to listen while riding my motorbike in the lonely nights of China, where I used to live. Thank you so much.

[@krouzer_]

Your patches are absolutely fantastic. Thank you for sharing

[@snugnug8439]

Your stuff always hits the sweet spots. Love it all.

[@manualvarado2212]

This is just amazingly beautiful. Thank you for doing what you do!

[@Almanacs]

Damn! it makes my day everytime you post a new video. This is very inspiring.

[@GOOFYFILMER]

Its like a new episode of your fav tv show.

[@EdisonGrove]

Excellent patching! Such a warm evolving composition. So mellow, I love it!

[@SyncdAlien]

Very beautiful & excellent! Awesome work! 😍

[@YannGuillermou]

You're taking modular new places. Stunningly beautiful, in many ways.

[@garyturner5204]

This is lovely! Thank you for sharing this track!

[@LesterH25]

Makes me cry, in a melancholy, humanistic way. Thank you, brilliant.

[@tvsuncanilijek7477]

[@tvsuncanilijek7477]

[@tvsuncanilijek7477]

OK,nevermind this is my favorite channel of this kind.so much good sounds.

[@criesincashjp]

Nebojša Čelebić You win

[@paulbremer3692]

Your music always reminds me of Hiroshi Yoshimura. And i absolutely love you for that. You are just delightfull.

[@tylersmith7925]

Paul Bremer i feel the same!! They are two of my favorite musicians

[@savnac]

You may also like Chihei Hatakeyama :)

[@matthsmatthsmatths]

Beautiful as always. 👌🏻

[@lonerphone9117]

One of the best ones yet :) Love that the patching was done along the way, always a great aesthetic with the plants and trees outside plus the sunlight. Big ups!

[@TH-gu4wj]

Fantastic sounds! Thanks for sharing.

[@Hamuelin]

I can’t decide if this describes the sound of ripples on a lake colliding and intertwining; or the interaction of particles over millions of miles in the near vacuum of space. But whatever it is for me, it’s certainly beautiful.

[@GreyMatterPlatter]

Neither, its the sound of spagetti being digested inside of you. But somehow in it's selflessness, the noodles accept death with closed eyes and open arms.

[@marcopepe4046]

Great work and what a fabulous sound!

[@RobinPM100]

finally some modular music that is not just ear bending noise and bleeps :-D

[@dalexmaccuish]

Absolutely wonderful

[@kindreadproject]

nice live ambient, relaxing atmosphere, I love to see your live patching! definitely good job! cheers from italy

[@demagmusic]

#1. Love seeing you patch it up. Adds a lot, for me. #2. Nice Art! I didn't really notice the extent of your sleeves before #3. Thanks as always for the beautiful music

[@P_wizard]

Absolutely Lovely

[@SidJ8300]

Beautiful music, Ann .. Keep 'em coming .. 😊

[@jonridley]

Excellent work yet again !

[@ezequielsapir]

Lovely melodies, sound design and modules, etc...besides that, your music makes me feel at peace and also inspired. Thanks!!

[@WiredSpaceWizard]

That is all kinds of delightful!

[@HumanMotives]

great vibe, beautiful sounds!

[@orsheeboo]

Live patching, fantastic! That's a real performance. There's a tendency of modular performances to be people staring at knobs looking slightly bemused. Not normally very interesting. But patching from scratch, and pulling it off like this makes a really compelling performance. Well done! And your videos project such a sense of serenity. I secretly hope that behind the camera is a kitchen with dirty dishes piled up in the sink, muddy boots strewn about the floor and a teetering tower of books and papers about to topple... I don't think I could muster more than about 25 x 25cm square of anything approaching that level of calm in my house.

[@LesterH25]

All I can say is brilliant and beautiful.

[@coogga]

So beautiful..

[@mathieukmusic8143]

So beautiful... Inspiring

[@lucaslauriano4357]

Nice job! Thanks for sharing.

[@FiveElementNinja]

[@danieldimarchi8973]

How do 4 people dislike this? It's literally the most inoffensive thing I can imagine.

[@paulriggs42]

Really enjoying this, more please.... 😃 🎶 💕

[@InvertedPopesMusic]

Bordering on the edge of chaos but always withinin reach. Brilliant.......

[@highlighters851]

[@hathuwic]

Phenomenal! The textures you manage to create are unbelievable. Damn, I really need to get back into VCV rack...

[@diliasoul]

such a beautiful setup, this is inspiring me 1000% to learn how to make my own!

[@thalband4878]

ann annie posts new video > THAL band already knows it will be amazing and gives it a “thumbs up” > proceeds to watch/listen ❤️

[@RFCCABACA]

Always great

[@amethysttoast3642]

In the beginning it kind of sounds like a Koto. Beautiful.

[@njdpdv]

Wonderfully soothing EPIC! 😘

[@paulfabian7274]

[@MythixMusic1]

[@PolskiAmbient]

Wow. So very cool and an ambient same way!!!

[@astrofaros]

Amazing!!!...

[@raycordmusic]

dreamy! Merci!

[@m10538]

Interesting interplay between human and machine. Couple times it sounded like the chaos was gonna get out of control! But the human brought it back to order, whew!😀

[@annannie]

Always the balance of ambient music, controlling the chaos we create

[@pointsurrender]

Well that was fucking amazing. Thank you for letting your light shine.

[@SquarepulseMusic]

I love watching this one grow and evolve into something so magical and beautiful. Please come play in the bay area soon. We'd love to have you.

[@dpschwartz1]

magnificent

[@freakphysics]

Never stop playing. And, please, never stop posting it.

[@marcpinion]

just butifull

[@brellynmuldoon8642]

Love this and the couple videos I've watched, subbed. Waiting on my case with a short list of first modules, while I soak in your work, colin Bender's work and others :)

[@booboot3187]

A suitcase made for travel.. Thank you, for you to be. For the music you make.

[@badbenjy]

The fact you patched this on camera increases the value of this vid 10fold. Really apreciating your work.

[@aeropilot4419]

😊✨ all smiles here

[@daren.t.housse2121]

Lush pure lush xxxxx chill out and dream xx

[@NorfolkTraveller]

Lovely :)

[@vitorberni4439]

This is amazing! That's exactly the kind of sounds I want to produce with modulars, just wanted to know where to start with...

[@LuCrow528]

Absolutely organic! I love it! I use Blofeld. This modular stuff is wild. I can get Blofeld into modular territory!

[@RobertCharlesMann]

whoa ... hang on a minute ... what just happened to me the past 6 minutes and 37 seconds ? i was so completely swept away i lost track of everything ... thanks, really beautiful ;)

[@bryceforrest210]

love how you build the patch in the video.

[@LuCrow528]

I'm subbed!

[@bh9090bh9090]

Your purposeful delicate aesthetic is right on. Reminds me to do more with less.

[@LaurentColson]

[@chefzef2449]

You are the love of my life

[@markbonn1973]

Yesss ;))

[@LesterH25]

String theory explained with sound. Love it.

[@ruxiwang9571]

simple and clean as always. the melody really has some Asian pentatonic spirit in it.

[@ormirian7364]

This feels like soothing Mogwai :)

[@scttcmpbll]

Lovely as always. Not sure if that controller transmits velocity, but routing keyboard velocity to Rings' brightness via Hermod could be interesting

[@louis-etne]

If only I had the money... Very nice job!

[@paulfabian7274]

Look into VCV Rack. Virtual eurorack modules on your computer and, including the ones used here, most of them are free!

[@louis-etne]

Paul Fabiniak yeah I already know them, they are really great ! But there is nothing like having the physical object I think... Thanks for your answer !

[@wotzeschiller4735]

Dude, I'm in love with what you make. If laws in my country allowed it, I'd marry your music. I'd go in a forest with her where she could resonate with the wind and would tell her that she makes me forget about war, death and separation. She should vibrate far into the universe because if someone should know womething about humanity, it should be this sound. If I could just follow it for as long as my blood is warm, I'd be ok. Keep it up

[@KidHellacious]

Sounds just like a guitar, this is wild

[@McEnroe911]

Beautiful music. I want to get into eurorack myself, but im pretty confused about the whole sequencing thing for this type of music. I noticed you using the malekko voltage block in several of your older videos, but that seems to have been replaced by the hermod in your newer stuff. Which of these sequencers would you recommend for these types of soundscapes? Looking forward to your next video!

[@mulcairs123]

Absolutely stunning, how much did your modular cost?

[@ivana1755]

why so few copies of Atmospheres Vol. 2, Ann??!!! I REALLY WANTED TO GET ONEEEEEEE ps: love your music

[@ParliamentLiteOfficial]

Whoa what stand is that? I have a Monorocket case and that looks perfect to free up room for external control!

[@jazzbeats8168]

Hey lovely sounds , was wondering how do you get rings to strum like how you have done it in this patch. Appreciate some tips :-)

[@justinharrison7517]

Amazing! What modes and knob positions did you set Rings to? Was it the same for both Rings?

[@keithjb100]

Is this all one improvisation on an idea, or random? it's nice anyhow, thank you.

[@annannie]

Mostly improvised! But I had “places” / certain phrases I was hoping to get to !
