Lucky NWers! It was like 50ºF today on the Shores of Ontario. But there's still snow on the ground & it's now headed back down below 40! Great Patch though... & the kids playing in the background were a nice touch :]

[@tomhueston5755]

Gorgeous. Heading into a depressing winter in melbourne, but this reminds me that the feeling of warmth and blooming can just be a state of mind, and either way it will all come around again in the end. You're really inspiring me to dive into modular systems and explore how textures evolve with the sounds of the environment around me.

[@simoncassel4030]

Probably my New favorite modular piece👌🏻

[@BoBeats]

lovely!

[@SimonTheMagpie]

Sweeet!

[@annannie]

it’s the magpie!

[@magicdave93]

Beautiful !!! 👍🙂

[@anniesong951]

Sadly I don't have grass yet where I live- it's just snow. At least I have this song to imagine it. :D

[@frozencarbone455]

Makes me euphoric, like when you just lay in the shade on grass with no ants

[@tonygarpzbeats5193]

Beautiful ❤️

[@baleinerenard7629]

Nice piece ! Closed my eyes and could almost see flowers poping up and sun shining. Great as always! Please tell Gabbin to listen to his mother 🤣

[@256k_]

i see a rene in there, i bet you there's at least 1 clouds as well...

[@MrBasic]

We are treading very similar paths. It will be nice to see you folks this weekend.

[@magnush.jensen2036]

Yo how do you make such beautiful music? Like seriously how!

[@Zhevros]

Check out the video he did with Ben/Divkid for some insight.

[@mcAzcrew]

Finally, a clean sound

[@DefWun]

Spring may have spring there,but I'm still getting snow and cold here :( Regardless,another A1 soothing melody from you.

[@gnardypascoski7]

I feel the air

[@NatureRecycleFlorida]

cool

[@BastianMaure]

Hi Ann, i love your work. I would like have a modular synth someday. Its too expensive ship the pieces to my country. Anyway, can you guide me how to build a modular like do you have? Thanks and please continium uploading ambients stuff

[@mahdif1000]

I've always wondered what you do when you're out of the picture in these videos : do you watch it as it goes ? Send text messages ? Smoke a cigarette ? For some reason that question has come up multiple times in my mind when watching your videos haha Oh, and of course, good job man :)

[@Aldoistaken]

This is so pretty

[@AliasJimWirth]

Really nice. You could call it a duet, right?

[@Music-ct6yh]

i love you

[@bazsinator12]

Chillish tune. Thanks for sharing. What did you used for powering the cases?

[@rbeny]

that grass looks familiar ;)

[@constantshapes2635]

Two years ago.

[@Tyler-ly6lm]

Would love to hear your take on the music from Blade Runner 2049

[@user-ck9lm6xi1o]

Tyler Kempton Omg what a great idea. Some of the ambient tracks based off that just floor me. I bet if they did it would be amazing

[@Zhevros]

What's your portable power solution? Great work as always!

[@annannie]

Used a goal zero yeti this time!

[@keithjb100]

Nice ambient piece ann, is that a new modular case with more ,.. modules?

[@annannie]

It’s constant shapes!

[@BriggsMullen]

Kevin!

[@mpingo91]

Is a black modular a new one? I think I see it for the first time. What modules are there?

[@Beggsnacon]

HEEEY there! I just found you via bobeats latest vid...(3 apirl now). First of all, love the sounds and love the videos! Real soothing, smooth and relaxing! Its a journy and works on so many levels. How do you feel about someone remixing your sounds? I have done so like a "million" times with Simon the magpies stuff and did one with HaqAttac... but i wanne change up the game a bit. How would you feel about making a remix album with magpie pirates. The magpie pirates is a bunch of musicians hobby and some more pro, who just makes albums after ablums like crazy at the time, from sample packs and a bunch of other stuff. I ve been an active member since the start up there, and its a real good bunch of folks there. This is just an Idea, but im throwing it out there.. What if we made an album, with one of your tunes first, and then a bunch of remixes of that tune in all kinds of genres all from diffrent artist. It would not be much work for you, but you would b connected with a bunch of super active youtube watchers and followers, and maybe you find some inspiration and nice ppl to stay connected to.. Who knows, but it would easy to make this happen, just need your acept and blessings.... Much luv and thanks for your great music anyways.. Bless your breakfast, Beggs n Acon!

[@annannie]

Private message me about this!

[@Beggsnacon]

@@annannieUhm didnt find where to do this so i tried on fb message on your page linked on your profile.

[@FunkTree]

Only one artery connecting red and black box to create perfect synergy between two colored boxes .... (do I see new Rene in the black box? Not connected though )

[@constantshapes2635]

Funk Tree that’s the old rene :)

[@annannie]

not my black case! Collab with Constant Shapes!

[@f.botello]

Constant Shapes what case is that? custom?

[@constantshapes2635]

Francisco Botello That’s a Trogotronic Collier m168 case. Its my favorite case around, amazing power supply and waterproof!

[@f.botello]

Constant Shapes oh awesome! I’ve been looking for a good rugged case like this! that isn’t too small. thanks so much for sharing :)

[@discophone_6214]

Hi AnnAnnie. What modules you have in that case?

[@badnewshooty9728]

Where do the notes and sequences come from?

[@edwardteach5641]

See, here is the problem with this; as pretty as it is, if you can walk away from your setup and let it do it's own thing, that's just boring. I want to see some interaction, some actual "playing" of your instrument (you know, like an actual musician.) But this generative crap takes absolutely no effort at all...

[@Aldoistaken]

The "effort" is done off-screen, before the video, kinda like when you listen a CD, it's not performed in front of you but you can still enjoy the music and appreciate the work that went into it. :) But yeah it can be boring to watch!

[@CiggyRettes]

Shut. Music is an art form, not a physical exercise. Intimate knowledge of synthesis and exploration of different patch combinations is just as valuable in a “real musician” as presicion and dexterity of movement. If you ended up on this channel you should already have realized this.

[@tomvandeusen4013]

You really don't know what you're talking about

[@user-ck9lm6xi1o]

Wait. You’re trolling, right? Guys it’s a troll, relax. Nobody in their right mind would listen to this and think it’s “generative crap” that “takes absolutely no effort at all”. That’s just obviously false (:

[@McEnroe911]

Just because you don't understand it doesn't mean it takes no effort. There's a reason 23,000 people are subbed to this channel. Ann Annie makes this world a more beautiful place. Can you say the same?
