This really is good of you, Martin; ads ruin the listening experience. I am looking forward to receiving the latest CD. Physical media (in addition to digital) will always be my preference.

[@GourlieRecords]

Much appreciated! Great compositions, as usual 🙌

[@soundvandal3570]

Thanks for that. I have Dyson album and will be picking up others soon. You and Gary P. Hayes are the soundtracks for long bike rides around Los Angeles.

[@MartinStuertzer]

@@soundvandal3570 Thank you! I am also on my bike a lot. Which headphones do you use?

[@soundvandal3570]

@@MartinStuertzer you're welcome. Happy to support. I'm currently using Soundcore Life Dot Bluetooth. Charge last all day but some albums are to high or low in range and that's when they struggle or I blew them out but don't think that happened. It's crazy how much music changes a long ride. Especially long form tracks. State Azure is another ride companion.

DJ Stürtzer rockt wieder die Bude

[@marzzz1]

Lava Lamp? Check. Cat? Check. Cup of tea during performance? Check. I'd say you have it all down. Love your work...!

[@roxanbarder5968]

Those concerts have become my favored.

Excellent part two! Congratulations!

[@wavesequencer]

Very nice, especially the last section.

[@plantigradeplanti7678]

Merci c'est chouette

[@dave498887]

great music,takes my stress away.

[@themattschulz3984]

I agree with Neptun, your ambient stuff is just soo calm, smooth, relaxing ... and the only thing that keeps me awake, is the need to explore even deeper states of relaxation while listening. Thank you

[@damonomad78]

Brilliant as always, thank you!

[@murph6522]

this is insane pls keep making your vids its very helpful

[@PhilipTaylor_007]

Hi Martin. Sounds really nice. So soothing, has even got the cat so child it’s fast asleep. ❤❤

[@seoverus7805]

Can you imagine what Neptune might be dreaming about ! He is the Cosmic Cat Contemplating... You have a great sound Martin and with SA = most listened YT music by far as I stream to the HiFi Surround via Bluetooth. Thank you & Best wishes for the vinyl, I'll be buying soon!

[@17cmmittlererminenwerfer81]

Good music to sleep by.

[@TechBuzzerchannel]

I listened to it while working and I am sure I will come back for more 😁

[@esersound1]

He has all the synthesizers I need... What a sound you get out of this stuff! One of the best sounding synth performance for me.

[@MartinStuertzer]

Thank you!

[@3d-marabu]

with a small budget you can also achieve this with the U-he Zebra II synthesizer in quality and abundance. You also use the free Valhalla "Supermassive" tool and a good free professional sequencer like "Reaper" ... and you're good to go. The U-he Zebra II VST synthesizer only costs about 200 euros ... and it pretty much covers everything you need for electronic music. The rest is then left to your creativity 😉

[@esersound1]

@@3d-marabu I have lots of software, but there's something in creativity when you're working with hardware. Lots of things can be something different you've wanted to program in software and the workflow is completely different. That's why I would prefer hardware If I could afford it. Anyway, till today I make lots of stuff based on software. It's just, when I get another hardware synth for testing, some things are different ;)

[@3d-marabu]

@@esersound1 that's a big mistake if you think it's all much easier with hardware synthesizers. With a decent sequencer program and some really good VST synthesizers, you have a lot more options and much faster access to various setting parameters. In today's multi-processing 64-bit computer age, hardware synthesizers are actually just a visual highlight. Today you can even imitate a Yamaha CS80 flawlessly via VST, which is vastly superior to the original in terms of its functionality. 😉

[@esersound1]

@@3d-marabu I didn't say it's easier, just that you can achieve different results (we can say "random" results) :) Tweaking physical knobs is faster for me as I don't really like to program midi controllers for soft-synths, so maybe it's just me (but I know lots of people out there with similar feelings). As for the multi-processing - I can still create patches with UVI Falcon that an M1 or an Intel i9 can't handle ;) Of course it is true that you can can make almost everything with software. Just the inspiration can be different,

[@lassemann1677]

this is going to slow my heart rate for at least a week....😋 awesome!

[@geoffreyhoffman2739]

I’m really loving the sounds and feel of this performance. I produce in Cubase but I think I need to learn Ableton because the options for real-time performance in Cubase are limited. Really good stuff. Subscribed.

[@MartinStuertzer]

I used to work with Cubase but moved to Ableton between 2006 and 2009 for the same reason!

[@Raumfalle]

Incredible good 👌🏻

[@DJAndreasB]

Sehr schön......immer wieder eine Freude, dir bei der Arbeit zu zuschauen

[@MartinStuertzer]

Dankeschön!

[@nickludlam]

I love it. Excellent concert, thanks so much for continuing these over the last few years.

[@MartinStuertzer]

Thank you!

[@claudedanis5712]

Great Great music Martin ! Merci beaucoup from Québec !

[@rumo201]

Fantastisch, wie immer! 👏👏👏.

[@JBCreatieve]

music is awesome and brilliant love it

[@michaelbernert6263]

Wow, klingt gut!

[@opaknack5997]

👌👌👌

[@joostvanbunnik7646]

excellent Martin, one of your best. What are you using for the drums?

[@MartinStuertzer]

Thank you! I created the drum sounds with Ableton using some samples and softsynths.

[@fiercelaststand]

Hi Martin - lovely music, once again. Can I ask - when you do arpeggiated sequences do you use Ableton midi clips or the synths’ internal sequencers? Or does it simply depend on the track in question? And is the delay here on the arp on track one U-he Color copy or another plugin? Thanks for sharing all of this - it’s always such a pleasure to listen to.

[@MartinStuertzer]

Thank you! I usually program all sequences with Ableton midi clips. The Juno 60 used the internal arpeggiator, clocked with an audio output from my audio interface. In this set most delays were done with Valhalla DSP Delay.

[@fiercelaststand]

@@MartinStuertzer brilliant - many thanks, Martin!

[@damirhlobik6488]

if you're making music like this now, what will happen when you reach the peak? :-) excellent, I like that TD "touch" Edgar: Klaus, did you listen to Martin? Klaus: I did, we didn't live in vain :-) Edgar: Should we visit him while he's dreaming? Klaus: Excellent idea, we'll get him tea and dessert for Neptune The phone is ringing..... Vangelis: You meant to go without Isao and me?

[@MartinStuertzer]

Thank you! Good story. :)

[@InvertedPopesMusic]

Hi Martin, is that the 7 year old Push 2 you mentioned the other day? Looking around the Push 3 although a rumour is just that still so wondering if a Push 2 is worth getting bearing in mind your pad issue. Loved this by the way always massively impressive what you do.

[@MartinStuertzer]

Yes it is! Push2 is my centerpiece and if it broke now I´d probably get a new one today. You can see that I always have to press the buttons very firmly. When I use other units in a shop or from a friend I don´t have this issue.

[@InvertedPopesMusic]

Yes I did notice you were pressing firmly or several times. Now I am seriously thinking do I get on eor do I not............

[@lhearne]

Does anyone know if part #5 is on any of Martin's albums?

[@MartinStuertzer]

I do! It is "Galaxy Filament" from the album "Relativity".

[@joostvanbunnik7646]

In Part 4, is the first bass the Sub37?

[@MartinStuertzer]

The low one that plays fifths? That's U-He Diva!

[@henrikprague]

Do you have a headphone recommendation to compliment your music?

[@david-2]

Just get a good, balanced pair within a budget that you find reasonable. Do lots of research, read reviews, etc. If your budget is 50 EUR or 200 EUR, just get the best within your budget. Regarding specifics, if you like lots of bass, get something with that sonic profile, or if you want music "as the artist intended", get a pair with a flat response.

[@MartinStuertzer]

I never use headphones so I can't give you any hints here. But let me know if you got something that works for you!

[@PhilipTaylor_007]

Hi Henrik. I use Bose QC45 headphones. Excellent sound and noise canceling, can be used hard wired or Bluetooth. 😀😀

[@PhilipTaylor_007]

I may add that I also have two sound systems attached which deliver 250watts each.

[@damirhlobik6488]

Budget? Open or closed? For PC or audio system? With Sennheiser You can't miss, for PC I use model HD 206, they are good enough for all compressed formats, about 30 euros
