How you only have 75k subs is beyond me. The KZbin gods need to bless you with some algorithmic goodness.

[@sebaszwarc6028]

Those cables represent chaos in my life :)

[@ethangaines2658]

That "obnoxious" lens flare actually adds to the beauty of this video, gave it a Michael Bay/J.J. Abrams cinematic feel XD

[@ambientideas1]

This is like musical opium for me. I can space out on this for hours.

[@ekko4631]

Same

Well I got 11 minutes, where what did you do 🪟 ? Liked your Feedback Loop #19 🎼.

Same here

[@pascalleconte2313]

Masterpiece! my favorite

[@WinglessCarbonBasedLifeform]

Just went to the Moogseum in Asheville, NC on Friday. 'Twas awesome. Thought of your work when I was there.

[@mrz80]

Edgar Froese's heir apparent! Siskel and Ebert give it two thumbs UP! :D

[@thenamelessastronaut]

another one from the nasa control room! just fantastic!

[@dreamdealer]

Gorgeous as usual, clean mix, amazing sound design, love to see the modular rig back.

VERY MUCH LIKE EARLY T-DREAM...NICE !

[@SolidAbdel]

My favorite so far, excellent job ad always

[@PaulHosler]

I love all the videos you make for us. My personal favorite of them all is Folding Space, even over the Blade Runner stuff, but those are right up there too! Thank You!

[@mrz80]

I'd have to go with his cover of TD's "Love on A Real Train" . He's more Tangerine Dream than Tangerine Dream :D

[@robstammers7149]

This, in my humble opinion, is the track of year so far. Superbly crafted as usual.

[@turtlemouth]

This is nice, like napping during a rainstorm.

[@EndBysGen]

I like arpeggio and bass part in this track. Thank you so much, Azure)

[@johnmr568]

TOP TIER

[@brmoogma]

Very Nice!

[@kavka_tsr4441]

A calm melody... Nevertheless, with a rhythm... That's great! Amazing!

[@sarahsounzcave]

This is absolutely stunning. As a new creative and explorer of the modular world (virtually) I really enjoy your work and learning what's possible to achieve with the medium. Thank you for sharing your creations with us.

[@eamfos]

Thank You

[@AndrewTubbiolo]

Yeah, just the right salting of 80's. I love it. Gonna do some observing with this next run.

[@eeklosuppo70]

What an addictive piece of music !

Fantastic as usual

[@doelman]

Wonderful!

Im so happy i found this channel last week! Now binging thru and oh man loving every moment. This is amazing work.

[@fonseca57]

When will it be available for purchase? Timeless work of art...

[@stateazure]

Thanks! I'll try and make it available soon as can, I've been really busy. I think I can put this together with a few other unreleased tracks for an EP.

[@jarisroth]

Fantastic job again. Thank you

[@amangogna68]

Fantastic music and sound !

[@isanvicente1974]

This is amazing! Then the 2min mark hits! Another stellar and creative work of art! Thank you 🔥💙

[@abdulkadersofi9708]

Magnifique

[@bigbaby1345]

I’ve said it once and, sure I’ll say it again, it would be nice to see a small video series where you showed us how to make mini versions of your most popular patches in a smaller setup. Great work as always!

[@stateazure]

Even if I wanted to, I couldn't really do that. I don't record detailed notes of my patching, I just experiment and after performing it I'll pull the cables and start fresh, so no patch is ever the same. I do have methods etc that I repeat of course, and I've kind of covered those already on the channel during one of my 'patch from scratch' videos (look for Luminous on the channel). For learning how to patch modular in more interesting and creative ways there are already channels that exist for that, see Omri Cohen, or Learning Modular or maybe check out some of Lightbath's videos, any of these are much more interesting and helpful than what I could provide.

[@bigbaby1345]

@@stateazure Ooh omri cohen! He’s really cool. Thanks for the reply!

[@danielpeshev8143]

Sate Azure Thank you for the great journey!

[@jeremythornton433]

Love this! You need to do more with the modular rig. We really enjoy it.

[@johnbarnas879]

Cool!

"obnoxious lens flare" = Ursa Minor shining in the distance which adds to the beautiful State Azure experience.

[@matsewunderlich]

beautiful 👍

[@chordsinspace]

So cool. I love watching you on you tube and how you just keep progressing. Amazing arrangement. I'd love to work with you on a track one day. Keep up the inspiring work.

[@mrnessss]

Damn this is so good on every level! 🌿

That's so beautiful mate. Nice to see the big boys toys back in action.. 😉

Looking for the extended mix!

This one reminds me of being aboard the Normandy.

How can I make music like this? Where do I even start?

REALLY like this... can you do 8 hours worth?

he gives good blinkyness

Would be great soundtrack for "Elite" space simulator game

Nice, I am reliving the Tangerine Dream ( some in this audience will know).

cool

[@user-lx3ts8cf6z]

🔥🔥🔥😌😌😌

[@dimwoo]

Love this. Can anyone explain what all that technology is doing? I can see what look like sequencers near the front, but have no idea what the massive rack of boxes and cabling towards the back is for...

[@stateazure]

There's a lot going on here, I can't really explain it all in detail, by the time I finish patching I barely understand it either.

[@dimwoo]

@@stateazure :-D Why so much hardware when it can be done in software? What's the advantage?

[@IISG93II]

@@dimwoo It's more fun to play with than software. It's that tangible feel you get actually shaping sounds and sequences that keeps people hooked on hardware once they experience it.

[@Trance4Emotion]

[@sebaszwarc6028]

Because you titled it "Canis Majoris" you should perform this live on Sirius XM

[@mikewilde1262]

👍👍👍👏

[@WinglessCarbonBasedLifeform]

The lens flare is not a Mistake...it is a Happy Accident according to Bob Ross

[@tsns1]

Had to turn the volume way down to cope with this week, ThankYou 🎼.

[@yaumgi]

Like always your the BOSS ! what the device on the left of the digitakt? is it a part of your modular system? looks like a sequencer / mixer

[@stateazure]

It's part of the modular system, there's a lot of different modules there but in those cases nearest me there are mostly modules for 'control', plus sequencers etc

[@MartinStuertzer]

Fantastic track! What is the name of the module with the vertical LED sliders, that you adjust with your left hand? From what I can see you can control different parameters of other modules with it, is that correct?

[@stateazure]

Thanks, Martin! That module is the MICHIGAN SYNTH WORKS F8R EURORACK FADER CONTROL MODULE. There are standalone versions I believe, but I like the in-rack version. I'm using it to raise mix levels, and control filter cutoff.

[@MartinStuertzer]

@@stateazure Thank you!

[@gavinwilliams9222]

Great as usual! Used up all your new space yet?

[@stateazure]

Thanks. Yeah pretty much, not a lot of space left really :)

[@Norbyscook]

brawweeeeeueueuuuuuu

[@Leo9ine]

Great track as usual! One thing - I see you switched to a Sirui anamorphic lens (noticed the lens flare, checked the description). Maybe I'm imagining it, but I think the anamorphic desqueeze might be set wrong (or not desqueezed at all)? Or the lens isn't level? Something looks just a little distorted. Worth taking a look maybe. I have the same camera and it's happened to me many times! Easy to miss. Thanks for the music! :)

[@stateazure]

Thanks! Well, the lens might not be 100% level, I always eyeball it. I don't use the anamorphic de-squeeze in camera, but always do it in post in Resolve by setting clip attribute to 1.3x anamorphic, it should be correct.

[@Sergeant_Blain]

so incredibly much atmosphere!!! It's insane! all those synth small lights and the blue light to the left! Im so curious of how you do it! Is it just that little blue light to the left that gives the whole room blue light?! Maybe you could share it's name :D :D :D

[@stateazure]

The blue light is coming from the Aputure MC-4 LED lights

[@Sergeant_Blain]

@@stateazure thank you so Much for answer!!

a solid 4 on the floor kick around the 2:00 mark would make this a super dope house/trance track.

No, sorry. Not yet anyway, maybe in the future.
