[@benbaker5374]

I really love how humble and kind he is. He seems like such a good person and it comes through the sounds he makes - so much love and feeling. Love this guy

[@aeropilot4419]

He’s always been so very kind in the comments … his music is sublime 👏🏼

[@TerekkiTerekki]

Was in SF with work and heard Austin was playing - amazing gig and got to briefly chat with him afterward - real gentleman

[@RobFlaxMusic]

Makes so much sense that the Summit is all over this. I bought a Summit almost sheerly on the character of r beny's custom ambient patches... It's a VIBE.

[@Audhentik]

still my favourite ambient artist since i've heard cascade symmetry for the first time. thx for sharing this! 🖤

[@PatrickOBrien]

My favorite people! Great dive and production on this one, and congrats to Austin on his recent health journey!

[@BobCharlotte]

He's the person who made me start the modular and ambient path. Love his albums, and that characteristic sound he gets from any instrument... Thanks for this interview, Ben!

[@robertsyrett1992]

Nice editing, Ben! Love hearing r bent get a chance to explain his artistic process and having the infographics and performance artfully intertwined.

[@compucorder64]

For me, that gave great insight into the overall rig flow of my favourite artist. Many thanks to my favourite modsplainer, divkid ftw! For me, r beny was probably the person that inspired me to get into modular. And divkid, omri cohen and others helped me understand it much more easily than I would have, on my own. A couple of years in, and you guys are still my favourites.

[@duelinmarkers1]

So happy to see more from this trip!

[@alanc6752]

Our kid and R Beny. Good interview.

[@memskew]

Really appreciated this chat. Thanks, gents.

[@HousePlant_Ambient]

He has provided with some amazing soothing music. So glad you got him here

[@DivKid]

absolutely a real gem that I don't take for granted having people like Austin share these things so openly with me for others to see too.

[@666DemonCleaner]

Mixing my love of modular synths and cute bears 🐻😅 keep up the amazing work, both of you!

[@brianreilly6545]

Awesome behind the scenes info. Great guys, great vid!

[@scttcmpbll]

two of my favorite eurorack lads

[@in_10z]

Great tips and ideas here! Thanks Austin and Ben.

[@rohosynth]

Fascinating!

[@mattmar96]

Oh heck ya thanks for doing this! Excited to watch

[@joostvanbunnik7646]

This is just amazing

[@ScottofOakland]

Amazing amazing amazing!!!!

[@mileswaite]

Does anyone know the title of the intro track?

[@medenine4828]

This is fantastic ❤️

[@DanieleGiannattasio]

Nice chat and great live set!

[@knobsstrings]

Very interesting approach!

[@aeropilot4419]

Yes, it seems like we’re all to easily slaved to the clock … it’s certainly one way of composing, tho I like the idea of a floating ambience too … not having a rigid tempo but a constantly evolving one is a nice change 🙂

[@SecondSunCph]

Awesome rundown, thank you guys so much! What a shame it seemed like you were under a bit of time pressure, I could easily see a much longer version of this kinda talk. Still turned out great though!

[@DivKid]

Yeah we thought we could use a space that apparently we couldn't. The guy at the venue was a massive ass and kept been rude about it.

[@SecondSunCph]

@@DivKid damn that sucks. At least you still got an interesting conversation and nice video out of it. Learned a lot from Austin's way of setting up his rig, super helpful 🙏

[@calderwood9641]

Excellent

[@jedgould5531]

I like not using clock. Sequencers are plenty. If I did not want to share my secrets, I would talk in the language he uses. 😏🥳 But a fine visit.

[@shoegazero]

I would like to see and hear an interwiev with Craig Tattersall aka The Humble Bee. I am also sure that he can tell us A LOT about tape processing and ambient/experimental stuff. Pls, somehow?

[@claycowartisamazing]

this is my ambient rig too...wow.....KewL

[@spacewizardinspace7222]

RBeny is the best!

[@Brianmann76]

I’ve watched this 5 times

[@declanmurphy6452]

Can you do a breakdown and walkthrough of Rossum's Mob Of Emu's module? Every time I think I understand whats going on it turns on me...

[@sohndervenus]

Thanks a lot! :-)

[@josephp.3388]

What is the intro song, it's so beautiful.

[@DivKid]

it's part of his performance, specifically the quick one we shot for this video. Although there's an uncut version (8-9 minutes) of that for my Patreon supporters exclusively for them. But it's from the actual performance he gave at Velocity 2019, you can watch that in full here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmO7apKFlrd-fLM

[@MikkelGrumBovin]

So imennesly Beautiful 🥲

[@DivKid]

Yeah r beny does a lovely job.

[@cooksoni.a]

hes kinda cute tho 😳
