Destiny71z - Live Buchla Session | RA Sessions

[@StudioMagnetique]

Love the way Buchla sounds like the purest electronics, entwined with wood. Artificial yet organic at the same time. Really enjoyable set, thanks.

[@Michael-xp1fq]

hahahahahhahahahahahahhaha

[@dustieredhart]

I wish Kirkis's music was more readily accessible. I can't find any of his music anywhere online so any scrap of content I can find of him feels like a huge reward

[@cqntmodular]

You can find it if you want!

[@chateaudisco1436]

whoa im just realising worlds colliding thank you!

[@f33fifofum]

This guy is phenomenal. Coaxes so many incredible sounds out of that gear.

I absolutely love this performance. Thank you for sharing your creativity!

[@antonventura6364]

I need 12 hours of this, Resident Advisor.

[@nicolascarta2626]

Wow I love the textures, feel so organic and warm !

[@SegaCDUniverse]

Kirkis is great, stumbled upon him in a very amusing way

[@almohadillaseisefes]

that's another league, that sound palette... simply brilliant

[@t-__]

Brother your music output as Destiny I'd describe as deeply cool. Deeply. Know that. It grooves. It pushes forward. Thanks man 🟠⚫⚪

[@cameronscottcairney8852]

This is fabulous. After listening hear I want to go search your stuff!

[@ModularWorld]

This really is about as good as it gets. Bravo!

[@badlefthook624]

Man I could listen to this for days

[@leonseidel3363]

Wow, such an amazing performance!

[@EntonDelMonte]

Incredible, I‘ve never heard someone pushing the Easel to auch amazing results.

[@von...]

yo actually a great video to wake up to tbh

[@therealhueblanes]

Old stuff also kills, bring back please

[@serosero9950]

incredible stuff!!!

[@bauhnguefyische667]

I’ve found if you move your hands around it looks like you’re playing an Easel. It actually plays itself and you pretend to control it. Buchla Life! Love it! It’s my favorite synth to turn on and just ride the sliders, patch up the jacks and enjoy the personal theme music.

[@no_talking]

The minor tweaks to the effects give it a little life as well

[@bauhnguefyische667]

[@agrozdanovski]

lovely session!

[@Christian-dr4ge]

heard him open for floating points at funkhaus a few years back .. my friends left having a panic attack.. i loved it .. the music i mean .. not the panic attack 🐒

[@blitbleep]

All chords probably come from de dsi tetra being midi controlles by a offscreen laptop with midi tracks? There's probably a clock coming out of that computer to sync with the buchla, which does all sorts of bleeps and blops, arpeggios.

[@dzir]

He’s brilliant!

[@gustavemuhozi5331]

Kirkisss 🔥🔥

[@AntonioSilva-ld4dq]

Im a rookie on this kind of music but i have the feeling he is playing an instrument and that the sound that achieves is high quality and interesting. The question is what other machine or instrument would do the band? Good work.

[@a.nobodys.nobody]

It's a fairly unique piece of gear. I wouldn't say you couldn't do this from another angle . Lots of ways to do a thing these days

[@goonfish]

Learn the ins+outs & ideas of Buchla/ELBY/Serge synthesizer systems & research building what makes up-and how to build your own-"West Coast"-style Eurorack Modular synthesizer rack! Lots of experimental synthesis tecqniques involving feedback & resonance, LPG (Low Pass Gates) and vactrols, experimental multistage envelopes & function generators, complex CV modulation, etc.

Dios, me he asombrado!

[@classicaudioadventures]

Magnificent!

[@vampiresforesl]

This is one of my favorite performances I’ve come across in the past few years, but I wish I could understand it. The Easel has a very basic, very short sequencer, so it can’t be producing the highly controlled and changing arpeggios at the start. And he’s not using the keyboard. So what’s producing the basic pitch and gate information? How are there 3-4 parts playing when the Easel is basically a mono voice? There has to be another cluster of machines, or sample playback, somewhere.

[@no_talking]

He says in the beginning he is pumping midi through the voices on the easel. I agree probably sample playback on the laptop which is sending the midi

[@christoroppolo8742]

Really cool.👽

[@PISrex]

que bueno, excelente session.

[@Earther._]

Awesome. Lovely work!

[@matteoscarchilli1835]

I don't know the system really well. Are the patterns's grooves coming from the sequencer, or is the system generating swing and accents?

[@yarobrock]

He said they were pre-created midi sequences. So he’s simply playing with way those notes and gates are being expressed.

[@cmb_cworld]

crazy

[@ALLRED1999]

what track is that playing for the first 4 seconds of the video???

[@MrPeyghman]

drums also come out of the buchla ??

[@MrPeyghman]

some of them sounds remind me a lot of CRUSH album by Floating Point, which also involved a buchla system

@@MrPeyghman actually, Kirkis was a member of the band Floating Points recorded and toured with around 2016.

[@badlefthook624]

@@MrPeyghman spot on. Exactly what I was about to write. Can't mistake that buchla sound and crush is an amazing album. So is this.

[@I4s5n]

What are the two smaller devices next to the main Buchla systems?

[@f.botello]

one looks to be the eventide space pedal

[@TockTockTock]

Not sure how this kind of music doesn't exist on a recorded format. I mean, it's idiomatic improvisation that draws from a variety of styles-almost like an EDM variation of Alterations. It's solid and eclectic, don't get me wrong. I just wouldn't preface the session with such a bold statement ("probably" is doing a lot of work here)-especially when we have access to the internet and thus a broad range of improvised music. It takes away from such a fun performance by making a claim that few improvisers can really back up. Anyway, I'm totally gonna look out for more of their music-and the 416 that they use.

[@GOSHacid]

Did he not just mean he hasn’t recorded it before? I.e. he’s not performing one of his records.

[@TockTockTock]

@@GOSHacid Good question. That's not how I initially interpreted it, but I can see how that was what he meant. Judging by his tone and body language, he doesn't seem to be making the kind of grandiose statement that I mentioned above. Either way, it was a fun performance. EDIT: Also, like, in my defense, I was drunk when I wrote the OP

[@GOSHacid]

@@TockTockTock it did stand out to me too as an odd thing to say but yeah, edited probably and out of context

[@redacted5035]

This is awesome but the pomposity of saying *his* type of music "doesn't exist on recording just yet" is incredible

[@SerialSoundTV]

It would only constitute pomposity if he actually said „type of music“, which he didn‘t. He was just referring to the music he prepared for the occasion, making this a purely descriptive statement which is 100% accurate.

[@no_talking]

"The music I'm about to perform probably doesn't exist on recording just yet" ~ I think he just means he hasn't performed it to a recorded audience. It was misconstrued by multiple people, which is too bad. He seems really cool and down to earth to me.
