[@Inyrth]

damn if you ever find another one of these ambient patches, please create more of these videos. been listening to this for quite a while now and would love more

[@bricelory9534]

there's another musician I discovered, State Azure who does a lot of long format ambient work, with several 3-4 hour pieces of modular generative patches. You might find them someone else to enjoy too!

[@Inyrth]

checked them out, pretty nice. thanks for the suggestion

[@bricelory9534]

@@Inyrth no problem - glad you liked them! It's a bit of a different vibe.

[@78thandSynth]

@@bricelory9534 very alpha vs influencer situation but yet wonderful suggestion. Will be hard to return from once you see that work.

[@wokeil]

I think he sculpts them rather than finds them. The difference is the intent with which he turns the knobs and I feel he turns them pretty knowingly

[@SirSpuddington]

Okay, can't 100% explain why, but to me this sounds like what would happen if Owl City got together with the guys who made the Portal 2 soundtrack and they collaborated on a score for a surrealist animated indie film about space travel. Excellent work as always Andrew 👍

[@evanbarnes9984]

Just listened to the whole thing while reading Neal Stephenson's new book while at home listening to a rain storm. Absolutely the perfect music for the day!

[@henry3457]

Oh hey thanks for reminding me that came out, I had totally forgotten. How'd you like the book?

[@zmortis111]

Coming back over a year later, and still gorgeous to listen to.

[@forrcaho]

I'll admit, I didn't expect I'd be listening to the whole two hours when I started, but now that I'm halfway thru I am totally into it. I can see (uh, hear) what you meant about long-form slow changes in your companion video about this generative piece, it definitely makes all the difference.

[@knochenonkel551]

This just cured my hangover. Seriously, this is beyond amazing. It’s like a soul massage, feels like meditation.

[@futur_sunds]

It’s the best waking up and scrolling through your notifications and seeing that’s Andrews got a new vid! This one is especially awesome!

[@jacobleon7777]

1:07:28 this small part is so good. actually sounds so alive, almost like an otherworldly creature making its own noises like a bird would.

[@vazio4848]

i agree

[@MikeFilemaker]

Literally opened YT to find some ambient background music to find this posted 13 minutes prior. And it's lovely! Thanks

[@Jin-Hu]

It would be a tragic shame to pull this patch down, here’s an easy solution. Just build another jumbo and keep this patch

[@WellingtonStreetSkate]

I listened to this whilst roller skating by the bay today here in NZ. Beautiful stuff, thanks so much for bringing it to life :)

[@matthewstevens4871]

This music is helping me finish the first draft of my novel right now

[@RedMeansRecording]

Yesssssssz

[@sarahsounzcave]

Thank you for sharing the whole 2 hour recording. It's cool to see what is possible and be a source of inspiration to someone like myself who's a newer creative.

[@TianaOhara]

listening to this during a rainy day in LA 🧘🏻‍♀️

[@thedofflin]

Reminds me of Disasterpeace's Fez soundtrack

[@mafurock33]

I would love a whole album of stuff like this - where each track is like 2 hours long, and each track is a whole world you can just settle into each of these worlds for long sessions. Modular synthesis and generative music is such gorgeous alchemy.

[@herbalursa3524]

Them Ambient/Carbon Based Lifeform vibes.

[@kaitlyn__L]

I really wanted to use this for sleep, and the parts where the lead ducks out or is slower and quieter are perfect for that. Those whooshy noises with the reverb raindrops etc are excellent. Unfortunately the lead is so bright, forward in the mix, and interesting (what notes will it play next? etc), that as soon as I’m drifting off in the in between sections, the lead comes back in and wakes me up. I noticed all the other comments talked about working or reading too, rather than sleep. I absolutely adore stuff like this to sleep to, and some of the other artists say some very strange things about aliens etc, so I’d much rather support more sensible people like you. But sadly I can’t use this as it is, I’ve been laying here for 50 minutes when I’m typically put out within 10. If it were massively busier I’d say this track is just not for that, but the sections between leads are absolutely perfect and start sending me off within seconds. Plus it’s in the title! I know the instinct is to put some generative melody to front the pads for completeness’ sake, or perhaps just your own interest while tweaking, but I wonder if next time you’re doing a patch like this you’d consider leaving out the lead, or at least ducking it plus a LPF? I know that’s quite a big ask, though.

[@kaitlyn__L]

Though I will add this was very nice to listen to once I was awake. The extra added interest I complained about for sleep definitely helps it not be monotonous. Which is a lot more important when you’re conscious for all of it!

[@pdmark311]

Thank you for not doing ad-breaks

[@Wafflethorpe]

I'd love to know which module is playing that lovely lead in the beginning. Magical stuff Andrew!

[@suturesound]

Just a pulse wave through Beads, though it’s from a Cwejman VCO-2RM so a very expensive pulse wave 😅

[@sillysquirrel9979]

Thank you Andrew. Really like this kinda counterpoint arpeggios

[@isabellasullivan9679]

Just sayin, if you made more of these kinds of videos, I would NOT be upset haha. Such a cool concept with a huge relaxing effect. Love it.

[@tracktionwaveformtips]

Beautiful! A mix of pure relaxation and anxiety when I look at the chaos of the patch cords!

[@jshstuff]

I've been loving this. It would be cool to make one that randomly eases into sustained periods of higher/lower energy. For random amounts of time!

[@jackofalltrades3378]

Far more variation in this generative music than I'm used to. Good.

[@TsunamiCoRyan]

Absolutely breathtaking sounds here.

[@karlklee9418]

What a patch!!! Magic

[@MiscThoughts]

This is my New Years Eve vibe. Thank you.

[@wackenthaljef]

Its Andrews modullar!!! i knew i knew it!

[@katashley1031]

I'm gobsmacked by the capacity of your electrical grid, lol. In our flat we can't turn on the fan and the vacuum cleaner at the same time, lol. And this is really beautiful!

[@suturesound]

Modular power consumption is commonly overestimated - your vacuum probably uses more than my system :)

[@tswan137]

This is beautiful... A Livestream of one of your sessions leading up to something like this would be amazing. Even if it's just you not talking to chat while you zone into your creation. Thanks for posting.

[@Mr.Meowgical]

Constant pleasure.

[@jgomer]

I absolutely love this, though the blinking lights are equally impressive. Nice job, Andrew! I have lots to learn.

[@PlayingWithAndi]

Fell asleep to this in the background, love it. Your creativity is truly inspiring :)

Mathematics, sound, color, vibration, frequency, spirituality, intellignet energy, intelligent infinity, unity, oneness, space, light, source consciousness, the absolute, unconditional love, wisdom, beauty, goodness (what this 2-hour track makes me feel).

[@corticallarvae]

If you want to granulize the whole piece listen to it at .25 speed it’s masterfully executed at any speed

[@scottvogel8477]

So Twitch still thinking about doing a Twitch/general stream? Also awesome to see you upload this stuff.

[@DJ-Lazy-Lodger]

more change and subtlety always is a risky thing;-)

[@Lewp77]

dope!

[@T-H-X]

what modules do you use? and how much for the whole thing? Is this rack on modulargrid ? thx. very nice sounding rack!!

[@Bill_Yarkakar_XVIII]

Looks like Eurorack, which is a common standard for modular synths these days. I have seen smaller racks than this quoted at 15,000 GBP and up. It all depends on what modules you use. it seems that some can be built from kits rather than buying an assembled product, in order to save a bit on cost.

hi ubddy

[@tootiejamba]

What's your electric bill?

[@marcgiguere1883]

this is like $100,000 of gear

[@railgap]

The glitch / noise crowd will love it. But it's about as musical as "computer generated music" from the 1970s.

[@kaitlyn__L]

Probably because the methodology is similar, randomiser into modular

[@therobertfaulkner]

The best working-from-home music. It doesn’t repeat, so it doesn’t get distracting patterns and my mind doesn’t wander while I work . . . as much. Plus it feels like I’m part of a futuristic, moody RPG 😄.

[@Vineor]

Took the words right out of my mind.

I had to have a really difficult conversation today, and having this on in the background helped a lot, thank you Andrew

[@caseyhamm8822]

this is definitely the ‘exploration’ track on a neo-retro 16-bit game. and even still, this is the kind of game you just leave up for hours just to listen to the music

[@ToyKeeper]

Very nice. This is now one of just three audio tracks I use as background when I need a screensaver. The other two are "Fragments" by State Azure, and a loop I made years ago as the idling engine/heartbeat sound of my personal "tardis". For visuals, I pair it with randomly-selected videos, mostly fractal zooms, like "Sentimental" or "The Hardest Trip" by Maths Town, played at half speed. All audio and video is given randomized starting points and played in loop mode. It's nice background when I'm working, or talking with friends, or just whenever.

[@defusedhero6561]

Snow drift by state azure is a great one too

[@Sarahbuildsstepsequencers]

Andrew, can I get the tabs for this? 🙃 Seriously, a wonderful way to spend a couple of hours. Thank you for sharing. 🙏🏻 💝

[@glebpalamarchuk9087]

It's auto generated so I'm pretty sure there's nothing Andrew can help you with. Only, like, tell you a scale which it was set to play but you can figure out this much yourself
