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!

[@tvsuncanilijek7477]

she protec she atac but she also eurorac

[@metalmatou]

And she is in fact a he lol

[@tvsuncanilijek7477]

nooooo??

[@metalmatou]

Nebojša Čelebić yeah for real...

[@tvsuncanilijek7477]

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

[@criesincashjp]

Nebojša Čelebić You win

[@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?

[@FranckMartin]

I like the live patching, that’s awesome

[@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 :)

[@OIOcellOIO]

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

[@SyncdAlien]

Very beautiful & excellent! Awesome work! 😍

[@LesterH25]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@YannGuillermou]

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

[@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.

[@dr.feelicks2051]

Holding back the clouds, Fun ride with stormy side

[@P_wizard]

Absolutely Lovely

[@RobinPM100]

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

[@EdisonGrove]

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

[@ButterHaus420]

I'm in love with this little wire box

[@LesterH25]

String theory explained with sound. Love it.

[@diliasoul]

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

[@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

[@danieldimarchi8973]

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

[@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.

[@thalband4878]

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

[@lucaslauriano4357]

Beautiful!

[@InvertedPopesMusic]

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

[@paulriggs42]

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

[@freakphysics]

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

[@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

[@badbenjy]

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

[@WiredSpaceWizard]

That is all kinds of delightful!

[@hector3550]

Bravo Ann!!

[@SidJ8300]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@Boo_Boot]

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

[@bh9090bh9090]

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

[@matthsmatthsmatths]

Beautiful as always. 👌🏻

[@hathuwic]

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

[@njdpdv]

Wonderfully soothing EPIC! 😘

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

[@FiveElementNinja]

Beautiful

[@amethysttoast3642]

in looove with your music

[@WavetableMetaphysics]

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

[@daren.t.housse2121]

Lush pure lush xxxxx chill out and dream xx

[@ruxiwang9571]

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

[@jonridley]

Excellent work yet again !

[@omarsharif927]

Incredible love it

[@PrimitiveInTheExtreme]

Wonderful.

[@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 !

[@pointsurrender]

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

[@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

[@aeropilot4419]

😊✨ all smiles here

[@chefzef2449]

You are the love of my life

[@fantasyproduct1042]

Wow just wow!

[@marcpinion]

just butifull

[@CablesForClouds]

Beautiful 🙂

[@KidHellacious]

Sounds just like a guitar, this is wild

[@astrofaros]

Amazing!!!...

[@MythixMusic1]

So good!

[@Code_Unknown_Music]

Love this.

[@RFCCABACA]

Always great

[@ormirian7364]

This feels like soothing Mogwai :)

[@paulfabian7274]

Love it!

[@raycordmusic]

dreamy! Merci!

[@bryceforrest210]

love how you build the patch in the video.

[@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...

[@dpschwartz1]

magnificent

[@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 :)

[@scttcmpbll]

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

[@NostalgicRuckus]

Thai food now on the mind.

[@_functionless]

Live patching :) I clicked the thumbnail for that reason

[@bordersofelmet]

'My ears!' but in a good way.

[@NorfolkTraveller]

Lovely :)

[@WavetableMetaphysics]

I'm subbed!

[@markbonn1973]

Yesss ;))

[@hughoreillyy]

Going through ableton to loop the midi sequence I assume? Love it

[@annannie]

nope ! All sequencing and looping done from Hermod

[@HelderMusic107]

ann annie how did you manage to keep in tempo without a metronome or a count-in? And what is pam’s workout doing there please? And...congratulations - inspirational as always.

[@annannie]

Honestly luck haha, working on my ear training with tuning and timing :)

[@HelderMusic107]

ann annie awesome. That’s the best way to do it really. Muscle menory :) Did you clock hermod with pam’s new workout here or what is it doing please? Thanks again.

[@annannie]

Pam’s is clocking the entire system!

[@PercivalThe23]

is there even a chaos oscillator in the rack...? see no dreamboat!

[@LaurentColson]

[@ivana1755]

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

[@mulcairs123]

Absolutely stunning, how much did your modular cost?

[@hideyourID]

Awesome job! i don't really get how do you obtain the polyfony... it looks like you are playing several notes from the rings!?. :O
