A live, fully improvised track performed entirely on hardware.
The Soma Cosmos is the real deal. The Cosmos is an asymmetrical looper, a series of delay lines that fall out of sync and come back together in beautiful and unexpected ways. Its parameters definitely feel carefully curated and chosen so that you, the musician, can get to the music-making while the Cosmos handles the looping. Using the Cosmos is truly a mesmerizing, meditative, blissful experience, and I cannot wait to get back to it.
Here, I ran the lovely Moog Subsequent 37, Tasty Chips GR-1, and Godin Radium Winchester Brown (with effects) into a mixer. The mixer ran to the Meris Polymoon, which added stereo delay that diffuses into a spacey reverb, and then into the Cosmos. Most of the time I was feeding new sound into the Cosmos with infinite feedback, so it's impressive that the Cosmos never clipped or reached its maximum headroom. Toward the end I turn down the feedback so the Cosmos would fade, and gently played guitar over it. I had a musical key in mind when I started but nothing else, and I'm absolutely astounded by the final results. The Cosmos is the real deal.
Moog Subsequent 37 - All subtractive synth sounds
Tasty Chips GR-1 - All granular synth sounds
Godium Radium Winchester Brown into Union Lab into Union C-Verb into Strymon Iridium - Electric guitar
Mackie Mix5 - Mixer
Meris Polymoon - Delay/reverb on everything out of the mixer

[@monts4246]

This is beautiful. Ive been going through a stressful time recently, and its so nice to be able to just lie down and listen to you making these gorgeous ambient soundscapes. Honestly, Thank You.

[@JayHosking]

I really appreciate hearing this. Take care, and here's hoping the stressful time passes soon.

[@jamesherndon8066]

The best example of the SOMA. I finally made the purchase! I get that looping melody stuck in my head all time by the way.

[@MikkelGrumBovin]

.................this is pulling lightfibres of Godly beauty From the deepest recesses of my soul....Ooooh ! Theres a planet here !? .I think I love you jay,-

[@theytravelthedesertwithgho7326]

I just have to say, I constantly return to this video simply for how gorgeous it is! Great work!

[@JayaLove]

Same!

[@IUsedToBeAPygmy]

The Tasty Chips GR-1 really brings it all together.

[@hollybrabra]

Your music is too good for me to be even remotely jealous of your immaculate synth collection.

[@mtate]

this sounds fantastic and is the closest demo I've seen to how I envision using the cosmos. thanks!

[@DjOmatic]

The sound is so pleasant !

[@sebg5742]

Thank you 🙏... really beautiful.

[@louderthangod]

This was amazing. I’d love to hear an album of this.

[@MikeUIibarri]

This is my favorite method of commenting/notating during a performance. Really good stuff!

[@miguel_orama]

That was a beautiful piece of music Jay, thank you. The Cosmos sounded lovely too.

[@MobileMusicMaker]

I was already loving it, then you picked up the guitar and I made the Joe Rogan losing his mind face. Great stuff, man. I love longer ambient jams like this.

[@andyjey3126]

EPIC!!! Like every time...

[@kai-vd5485]

Thank you so much - absolute beautiful! This Video really inspired me to play with my Cosmos (again).

[@SynthgodXXX]

This made my day! Great listen! Thank you, Jay!

[@loveadumb]

cosmic & beautiful.

[@lesnorton7384]

What a nice piece of music... I love the sounds of the Subsequent 37, it can be so melodic.And the Cosmos really pulls everything together.

[@billysunshine9100]

This is actually good ambience, you could teach Hainbach a thing or two about creating interesting ambience

[@Mattelica]

Beautiful... And quite impressive that it's live. Huge sounds from a not too huge set up... Small actually compared to others. It sounds like you're in a cathedral.

[@johnslater154]

The wall of sound on the Low end had me thinking of the most epic moments of interstellar. So cool

[@silber_grau]

I also thought of interstellar, but less dramatic. 😀

[@illiqual]

And Lorn’s Acid Rain in some Eno-ish way :). Really nice piece of improv!

[@positivebacteriaculture]

What a time to be alive. Well done with that kind of awesome innovations.

[@agniabarto8896]

Рад за Тебя!))

[@spltrcl]

great! cosmos is awesome. me, i've been using multiple (deeply differing) looping devices for a few decades, myself, to similar (but sonically differing) temporal & atemporal effect.

[@InvertedPopesMusic]

Very beautiful very beautiful indeed. Such sweet sounds the Cosmos does look and sound very interesting.

[@jaceklebioda]

[@Jin-Hu]

Beautiful sound, incredibly pretty cable management, very much appreciated

[@Jin-Hu]

@@BeastlyAnteater heck no, love chaos, but also dream of mythical levels of tidiness too :)

[@lapracticadefamila]

Good god this is so great, Jay. Thanks for sharing with us!

[@JayHosking]

My pleasure. Thanks so much for the kind words!

[@janszcrescent6360]

Anyone who is simultaneously across the world's most inventive music company (SOMA), the world's best boutique pedal company (Union Tube and Transistor) and the world's best granular synth (GR-1), is a hero and must be respected. Get a Lyra-8!

[@anonymous_friend]

Will it satisfy your GAS if he gets it? lol

[@Wagoo]

Proper job 👍

[@WildernessMusic_GentleSerene]

Very interesting and educational, a great wall-of-sound with your gentle touch. Stayed for the entire performance. Thank you for your valuable contributions.

Such a great showcase of the cosmos pedal.

[@analog_]

Wow I wasn't aware of the Cosmos evolving strengths... very cool! Thanks again man for bringing some amazing tools to my attention!

[@N-trepid1]

Jay your content is simply some of the best on KZbin. It's inspiring to see you use such a wide range of gear (with detailed usage instructions) to create wonderful, improvised musical compositions. Kudos! :)

[@nzarob8585]

always makes me happy seeing the gr-1 being used to its full potential, sounds incredible!

[@davidbetts2980]

Beyond words, but I'll try; this beautiful sound is angelic.

[@willswitchcraft]

I've ordered a Cosmos, which should arrive any day.....so great to have this excellent introduction to help demonstrate it's properties....

[@Krilin84]

Great composition as always Jay! Asynchronous looping is fascinating and the cosmos looks very cool indeed, although I didn't understand much of how it works! Hope to see more of it in your future stuff!

[@JayHosking]

I very much thought of you and your previous video on asynchronous looping when I starting playing with the Cosmos. Hope you're well!

[@SebticSmile]

My wallet has been demanding that I skip a few of your jams but this is bliss. The Cosmos is very much on the wishlist but also love what you're doing with the GR-1 - not really seen that before. Damn you!

[@juliusway]

Gorgeous. I’ve just ordered a cosmos, looking forward to a play ☺️

[@relaxingelectronicmusic775]

I like it

[@stinkypete9070]

Love it! I watch these and wonder if sometimes all I need is a single nice mono :P

[@Ben_______x]
