That is why Amon is the maestro of experimental electronic music, 90% of producers wouldn't use modular synthesis as production suites do it for you.

[@johnbennettiv]

Amazing. Would love a Part 2 specific to the drum section.

[@The_Mercian]

At some point, this man got permanently stuck in God mode. Thank you for this!

[@rasserfrasser]

It's a sin he doesn't have more tracks or mutations to enjoy. I sometimes wonder if he realizes the opportunity of sunshine he's letting pass by. His work is absolutely magnificent, I only wish he'd do more than a few songs every few years. I think it best I take a picture of his cables instead of gain any kind of anticipation or joy for music. Sincerely best wishes, I try look forward to what's next from Nomark.

[@dannyhoffa2614]

Have you seen the amount of music that's come out on Nomark Records before and since you wrote this? Might make you happy 🥳

[@stereobub]

these are basically ASMR but also really insightful. ya love to see it

[@510th]

Love this sort of hang out style chat about... and I've tried to avoid Cwejman gear due to cost for years.. but DAMN YOU that MMF filter :) Also, I'm wishing for a whole album based on the "The Love Again" style song... I'm on repeat this morning with coffee and lovin' it :D (lastly, are you an only child? I am. And a year apart in age.. cheers from a long time fan- since 1998ish...)

[@pixienyx]

Where do the sounds come from? "the pelts of snow leopards." 😂 I really did laugh out loud. OF COURSE.

[@BitDeff]

Love that you're doing this! It helps others understand your work process. And please do a lot more, even if it's in the theory of talking about it. You have a community here and we are all down to listen.

[@NomarkRecords]

👍 Be sure to subscribe so the channel can grow and more time/resources can be put towards making videos like these!

[@dipregistered]

Love all the Davified knobs!

[@EleniEliades_]

Very lovely Modular System. The sweeping curve of the Module Case looks to be relatively comfortable for patching as well. I would love to see and hear more videos concerning the structure of sounds and how those strategies assist {you} in the process of creating a Soundscape.💡

[@danskizz7272]

I understood, perhaps 5% of this but it really was fascinating!

Awesme! When the oldskool drum kicks in, man you understand the universe

I really appreciate seeing/learning the “hows” and would love to see more like this. Thanks for sharing, m’dear!

[@agitator1]

Maestro ! so good! Amon please share some of your midi drum programming/ break beat stuff please !! We would all kill to know :)

[@Cutting2Night]

Thanks for the breakdown! How do you feel about a breakdown of old tracks from Bricolage or Foley Room for example? It would be so cool to see you open up old projects and dive into them with us! I really wanna see more of that nerdy stuff :) Thanks for all the years of otherwordly tunes

[@TheValueOfN]

That'd be amazing.

[@finnie]

this is like the m&s advert for synths

[@SpectralEvolver]

Thank you for this! Please continue being a nerd and sharing it. :D

[@sine8811]

I'm happy with a volca bass and a reverb pedal.

[@stevesmoke1221]

Thank you for taking the time and effort to share this! It's really appreciated :)

[@alanc6752]

I will have to watch this a few times to fully absorb. Great lesson.

Do more of this I love it!

[@stoff1973]

Thank you very much for your shared knowledge. Today I have learned and understood something very useful for my own personal musical practice. Keep on going !

[@Uatarreu]

wow, it's really incredible actually seeing you work on your synths... i hope this is the first video of a loooong series hahaha. greetings from brazil.

[@NomarkRecords]

🙌 There are a number of other synth related videos on the "In The Studio" Playlist on Amon's YT channel. Check them out! kzbin.info/aero/PL_X5gRGCv_LIW8wttcQEce3g3Rk3rOr6X

[@Uatarreu]

@@NomarkRecords ohhh that's amazing! Thanks for the tip!

[@mataroo]

I know little about making music, and this still looks like you're about to fire up a spacecraft for trans-dimensional travel. In fact, that's exactly the effect your music has on me. Not a coincidence.

[@RenaudWarnotte]

So cool. Nice that you made that kind of video, i really like modular stuff

[@SheldonBird]

Thanks for gifting us this!

[@emilyschmanks]

very interesting to see how you approached this

Very nice sound! Great video^^ more please!

[@geneberlin1]

absolutely fabulous

[@shinyless]

Woah so amazing. I have so much more to learn with modular :)

[@TomatoSauceGaming626]

As a computer engineer who's starting to take circuits and signals classes, this is fascinating to me

Awesomeness

[@BrawnyBeats]

Great video - I've barely embarked on modular with my Lyra-8 and Deluge, but I could see a couple of modules that I would make good use of (the tube processor in particular). I'll make room for a chassis one day! Thanks for sharing, though. I'm sure many of us would like to see some of your processes for percussion.

[@LoudPaul1]

this video has great editing too

[@bradhart8497]

Fascinating.

[@PrimitiveInTheExtreme]

Great! Very Interesting! 🎯

INSANE!! FIRST TIME HERE, GOT HERE FROM NIGHTLIFE SONG, AMAZING STUFF

[@NomarkRecords]

Weclome! You might not yet know there's a whole world of Amon Tobin to open here since Nightlife www.nomark.net/

[@johnbennettiv]

Master Class. Gratis. 👊🏻

[@fl260]

Man that bassline is outstanding, but the drum track is something else! Makes me think how awesome it would be if you would do a collab with Travis Barker. Having goosebumps just thinking about it!

[@enjoyyourtime]

Mindblowing 🤯🤯🤯

[@alexmagnifica]

I can use only computer mouse and vst, and find its difficult to make something near nice. I really wonder how big Amons brains are

[@demmersify]

Hi Amon, when you mentioned trying to replicate the "hammer sound" of a bass fret, is this essentially the same process you went through for Figueroa?

[@NMROSTA]

Almoust like Reason.. but a little tiny more analog and reasl. Amazing video.!

[@safetyinsolitude7776]

🌌Elektronic Sound is safety in solitude🌠

[@michaelkonomos]

DO you do anything in post to get such a clean recording? And what kind of interface do you use? I always end up with such noisy audio when I record analog synths. Nice work!

[@somberlight]

DI box could work? read about a function called ground lift. also, if you are running all analog - see if there is any powercable ON audio cable, or vice versa. that hums a bugger.

[@michaelkonomos]

@@somberlight Thanks! I do keep my audio and power cables off each other, but maybe the DI box is a good tip. If you don't mind me asking, what interface are you using?

[@somberlight]

Doesnt really matter, tbh. My needs are relative to me alone . Just figure your actual needs and find pre' s to match. I'd get something with full ass adat array tho. Gear Acquisition is a helluva disease, LMAO

[@claycowartisamazing]

luckily you don't need more than 84-104 hp-ish to do that

[@naturalprofane]

Wildly informative. Would love to see a video about how he did the OCT drum programming.....AT is the GOAT

[@lukas_jay243]

Amon, I need to ask you and I am not on Twitter.... Do you take any inspiration at all from the 60s and 70s German psyche group called Amon Duul 2?

[@Sebastianporeiro76]

I would like to use your voise in my music if you do not mind

[@GH05THiLL]

Watch the 4 commercials while I play with my toy that costs more than your house. LOL you can't play with my toy.

[@NomarkRecords]

Maybe take some time to see where he began. It's likely with less than you have now which is an encouraging prospect if you set your mind to it. 🙏

[@joechapman8208]

You can buy software: maybe Softube's Modular, or get something like VCV Rack for free, and rough it up a bit with other effects. Watching ads and carping were only two of your options

[@naturalprofane]

Does anyone know the name of this song?

[@NomarkRecords]

A demo Only Child Tyrant patch so unlikely this will make it to an official release. However you can hear songs on which the patch is based, such as Solid Grey Zebra, here: onlychildtyrant.bandcamp.com/album/time-to-run

[@naturalprofane]

​@@NomarkRecords Thank you!!!!! This was my favorite album of 2019 by the way. What an evolution.

10:12 No way he said, "Now I can have some fun with DrumBrute". I must be misunderstanding his words. Those aren't DrumBrute sounds

Or just get VCV rack and boom. It’s free but you can also get special modules for it. It’ll work with any daw. ( writing this again because I think it got deleted )
