Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith - In The Studio

[@RogerWarszawa]

I would be quite delighted if there was a 'director's cut' of this; say 90 minutes or 2 hours long or so.

[@delta-9969]

Imagine your neighbor just walking up and being like, hey, want a Buchla?

[@Jim_Thomas_Draper]

Pro tip: if a neighbour says "follow me to my barn" there usually isn't a Bucchla in there, and you should probably never go back to their house

[@chromosundrift]

Note that she was helping him first. Lesson right there.

[@ACCOUNTANTB]

its endless possibilities - its a therapy !!

[@SynthoidSounds]

Very nicely done, good example of realtime modular composition. Of course, one can only wonder where her musical travels would have gone without the lucky neighbor encounter . . . with original Buchla hardware. Describing her modular setup . . . "It's still really expensive". Yes it is, definitely out of the reach of most.

[@totheadblogspot]

Very interesting tool. Exploration of sound scape.... I would love to try it out once. For now, I have my Minibrute ;)

[@jeremythornton433]

I'm really hoping that one day I'll be able to do about 2% of what she can do. My synth system is so very different though. At least now I have a Moog Grandmother and it sounds great!

[@timmbrockmann959]

@@kentsparling8222 I think your comment is a bit over the top.. what´s wrong with him expressing that he likes her from what he sees from this video? Sure it may not be her entire personality, but it wasn´t meant "to reduce her" either. Literally the whole music artist/fan relationship would be "incredibly disrespectful" then, and while I agree that an artist is to an degree always just an image of the fans´ imagination and projections, it´s far from disrespectful, and I think the artists would agree and not be so easily offended like you were. It was just an sponateous expression of admiration, while you made it a problem, and I even made it worse with this long text ;) peace

That was so interesting !! Great set-up .

[@andrewquicke1054]

Someone needs to create a eurorack-compatible high-power vacuum cleaner with soft-bristle brush nozzle and long hose for getting between cable spaghetti, deep in keyboard keys and jack sockets; maybe a special nozzle that is a soft brush but when you push down on it a 3.5mm jack sucker protrudes. Venting of dust could also be modular, with choice of bag-compatible module or a hose output for more permanent installations, so you could route dust output -> window. Ideally you'd have a magnetic robotic crawler to keep things dust-free automatically, but I don't want to get too ambitious.

[@SailaV1]

Andrew Quicke LMAO

[@timepaintertunebird8160]

Also it should have a built in contact mic and be fully CV controllable.

[@cdh79]

As a hobby-guitarist, who has a half-stack in his living room, and also some keyboards, samplers and sound-modules in my home-studio, and just getting interested in modular synthesist, i can relate to the "bleepy bloop style" sounds she's talking about, as that's what it seems that i hear in almost every video, after watching countless of hours of YT content on that topic.. There are hardly ever any full songs. By now i think that modular synthesis is just here for those people that think a crack- or heroin-addiction has too much impact on their bodies, but rather want to spend all that money (or more) on things that basically go "beep" in different ways. Then again, next to my house being full of "conventional" music equipment, I shouldn't be talking, i spent over 20k on a telescope, ccd-cameras, filters and mount for doing astrophotography, but because i live in the Netherlands i can use it maybe once or twice a year.. .if even... also a bottomless pit, but at least it keeps me from being able to afford a drug-addiction, despite having a good salary ;)

I agree with your neighbour, Terry Riley is an exciting reference for a modular synth performer.

[@ohthehumanity6774]

So is the piece I was just listening to dependent to some extent at least to the pulse if you will? That is a regualrly recurring "beat" around which all of the other material is added? From what I can hear out of my little laptop here anyway. My question is...is that pulse a necessary element in the composition?

[@wezzuh2482]

Cool to see someone use modular this way. Many people get hung up on making "modular music", where the instrument is an and in and of itself, instead of a tool to be utilised towards a goal.

[@MarcDupuis50400]

+young juice There's no right way to do these things. There are just different ways.

[@Fluxwithit]

There is a reason to fast touch a pot and a reason to slowly emote on a knob... Usually quick touches are due to tempo sensitive inputs... (Such as dropping an eq or a quick gain alignment). There are also times when a Dj needs to be more gradual with a pot... Don't get tripped up by what others are doing ;)
