Live at Basement State (Deluge, Modular, Octatrack)

My set for the Seattle-based electronic music facilitators, Basement State. They stream every Friday on Twitch: / basementstate
Deluge is driving here, playing samples, and sending 4 channels of MIDI to Hermod, which translates it to CV / Gate. Noise Engineering Manis Iteritas, Qu-Bit Surface, Mutable Instrument Rings, and Qu-Bit Chord are all sequenced on the fly through the Deluge and pass through the Tip-Top z5000, Make Noise Mimeophon, Qu-Bit Data Bender, and Happy Nerding FX AID.
The Deluge output and modular output are piped into the Elektron Octatrack where they are resampled and chopped and played back in fun slices.
This is an incredibly flexible system and is a lot of fun to play!

[@PaulBreitzmann]

I really want that hand to be a high-five midi clap trigger.

[@RedMeansRecording]

You just made me realize adding a drum pad to this setup would rock

[@AllaMortify]

@@RedMeansRecording Your Nord Drum 3P?

[@RedMeansRecording]

@@AllaMortify that was a loaner. But yeah something like that.

[@Skiddoo42]

I am so gonna do that with my old DD-55 I just got out of storage! Didn't even know it had midi outs...

[@h2o1969]

Hell yeah,that would be great.

[@-l5905]

Please give us more Deluge tutorials. Killer set!

[@EZBOT_]

THIS SET WAS FIRE!

[@RedMeansRecording]

No u

[@GabeMillerMusic]

This is magical

[@billyp9142]

Holy shit. At 10:38, I literally let out an audible gasp of amazement. Bloody fantastic work Jeremy!

[@alejandropnt]

same here, instant caribou/daphni vibe the "i'ts a crime" remix)

[@spriteisawesome]

I have been *sleeping* on the Deluge. What a phenomenal looking piece of gear for performing.

[@Nomo_Popo]

There is something about this sequence of sounds that conjures a desire to stand up and thrust my hips and buttocks back, forth and around in a rhythmic manner that is synchronized with the beat.

[@RedMeansRecording]

YEAH

[@hyprballads]

Always nice to see Deluge controlling modular! Top jam!

[@maximusachoo]

You are truly using 100% of the latest music technology to make absolute bangers. Honestly I'm in such awe in how you manage to make such complex and great sounding beats using a setup that would send a rover to Mars. These videos make me just wanna go on Ableton and make music. I love ur vids man!

[@johnny5kmusic346]

Played this while drinking my morning coffee... DEFINITELY a great way to wake up to the day! Thanks💯👍🏾

[@raysubject]

That hand bellow Deluge is absolutely epic :-D Btw as usally super fun-to-listen set, really like your performances !

[@Chasing_Thoughts]

Start to finish this is great 😊

[@MilesKvndra]

Wow, what a great set! 💚

[@robvbeats]

absolutely mesmerizing as always~

[@picturesofaneighbourhood5950]

This setup sounds great and the way you are able to play the deluge sequencer is really fun to watch. Killer set

[@enensis]

This was really cool mate thanks for sharing.

[@channelite]

Nice. Got better towards the middle.

[@seanspartan2023]

Sick jam! This is fire 🔥🔥🔥

[@niandra_falls]

killer set man!

[@Loumont_2]

This was simply amazing

[@static-san]

I love the dynamic editing on the Deluge. Not just flipping tracks in and out, but making, editing and clears riffs on the fly.

[@AntonyBailey77]

This was a 🔥 set and 🔥🔥🔥🔥 broadcast. Literally just finished watching it all.

[@empinchen]

Effortless mastery. Thank you for this set.

[@galactivationnation3416]

Brilliant! I love it.

[@tom.b.positive]

Oh my, this is fly! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Thanks for your hard work and bringing it 🔥 🙌🏼

[@peladoclaus]

Fuck off that was bad ass. Some techno legends I played with in warehouses say "put more music in the music".. what I just witnessed there was hella tchnical prowess with good composition. Excellent dude. That was fucking excellent.

[@danbocook]

I saw Deluge and clicked! Haha!

[@andrewmorse7912]

This is great, and nice to see the Deluge on the top shelf.

[@InvertedPopesMusic]

Incredible set totally awesome.

[@remaly27]

This was an instant watch. I anticipated a great set and was not disappointed. Started off 🔥and got even better from there. Impressive watching you navigate the deluge as well, great set!

[@RhombusLabs]

Always happy to see the Deluge in use. Another v good video thanks.

[@user82938]

Made me excited to see live music again. I’m not too far from Seattle, hope I can see you perform like this on a big sound system soon.

[@HeladoInfinitopop]

Amazing! Thank you!

[@elliotwilliams2376]

Really enjoyed watching the mix of live and planned-out on the whole setup. That was a great idea to improv / play a lot of the basses on the Deluge in live, and those kit rows full of little hits / loops / atmospheres that you unmuted in and out... F'ing groovy - lots of motion and emotion. Had me dancing the whole time, but I'm gonna have to download and study later.

[@heartajack]

The Deluge is rad! This whole performance sounds incredible.

[@CosmoStraaf]

GREAT!!really like the vibe!best wishes from Bruxelles

[@7Tarot]

Man that was one of the best modular sets iv ever seen

[@BiologicalDataScientist]

Hauntingly beautiful

[@paulluna8099]

Love ho CC pops up to say applause.

[@Rexbaner]

That was a fantastic 26 minutes of harmonic boogie sensations. Love watching you work the deluge! Such a work horse.

[@bl00dsimple]

Such a jam! Really hoping I get to make jams this fun one day. Just started my modular hardware journey!

[@mikenoface]

Nice command of the Deluge. It's the tiny screen that gives me flashbacks of my old mc-303 that has kept from that battery powered lovely. Nice set.

[@agustincornaglia869]

soooo good maaan, like always

[@melkeveienofficial]

I love this!

[@jukesasaurusrex]

bouncing from note 1 , love it big thank you :)

[@steve_o]

Amazing, I was listening to this while at work, and forgot I wasn’t at home and started dancing in my office chair

[@Sigmatic850]

I want to see a video of people at home jamming to the music we make

[@jszack]

wowza - you make it look easy, Sensei - so good

[@ueberlicht_]

Dope as hell

[@chrischain_]

Love those vocal samples.

[@jonathanyeich271]

This set is fire.

[@christofferkiilerichjakobs8336]

The track around 14:00 had me spontaneously dancing. Wonderful! :D

[@not-hank-s]

Dang, this is great, love that build. The segment starting around 15:00 hit me good.

[@sinepilot]

I've got a Moog tower instead of a modular, a Rytm instead of an Octatrak, and a big hole where the perfect sequencer/live looper/arranger/MIDI controller needs to go. I've been increasingly convinced the Deluge is what should fill that hole. This video confirms it. The fact that it adds more analog goodness to my existing analog goodness is so much bonus. Once again, thank you Jeremy!

[@binahtrading8565]

Brilliant !!!

[@Abhyudayvishu]

These analogue sounds are warming my heart.

[@Abhyudayvishu]

back here. Please do more deluge live sets!!!

[@BassBajo]

Holy shit! I had to watch this entire vid twice!

[@chipwillis]

its not only your reviews and walk thrus, but your performances are simply amazing. hope to see you live one day!

[@RedMeansRecording]

that would be rad!

[@chipwillis]

@@RedMeansRecording sure it will be!

[@chasedestroy]

the pads at 11min are great. serious Phil Western/Download vibes during that section, well done.

[@MidlifeSynthesist]

Beast mode on!! This was awesome dude!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@Soundwrecker]

deluge really is the best hardware sequencer I know of for composition and performance with external gear. So rad.

[@adrientreuille6888]

1:40 in. This is amazing!

[@malewhalenipple562]

This was one hell of a jam. Been working on some burlesque/drag soundtrack where i had to change all the by's to a sheeps baaaaaa in all by myself (not as easy as it sound) and this was the perfect cooldown/dancedown thing

[@markhibbert9777]

Glorious.

[@robertsyrett1992]

This is the dream right here.

[@willhook3689]

This is epic!

[@antman7676]

Vibin hard with this at the end of a long night

[@DavidDeLuge]

Great to see you on the Deluge again. I love mine and have also just got the Roland Verselab MV-1, which, so far, also seems pretty awesome. It'd be great to see you create some magic on an MV-1.

[@tijmen1949]

Do you prefer to use the mv-1 over the deluge? Id love to try the deluge but the import taxes are brutal

[@DavidDeLuge]

@@tijmen1949 so far, the MV-1 is perhaps more intuitive from a song making perspective. However, the Deluge is much more capable as a controller, looper and sampler and the amount of pads on the grid mean playing across octaves is much easier. The Deluge excels as a performance tool. So far, I am loving the MV-1 and the presets are higher in quality and number compared to the Deluge. If you are looking for a standalone device to build, mix and master complete songs, the MV-1 is the better option. If you want a device that is the heart of your setup from a controller perspective and a performance tool then Deluge all the way. This is my first MV-1 song: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHayh3yerbGAgKc

[@ecumesnd]

Really coooool and groovy 👌👌👌👌

[@SlowHaste]

freaking frick this is fun and good

[@lilbullet111]

this is breathtaking mate. as a fellow deluge obsessee, I would be eternally grateful if you ever found the time to make a vid diving into the thought process behind how you feed the deluge into the octatrack and manipulate it there as this is something I'm considering attempting! again, amazing stuff. thanks for the energy, passion and prowess!

[@RedMeansRecording]

i actually have a full video on this filmed and edited and ready to go as soon as a performance i have scheduled for february comes out!

[@BenStJohn-mf3im]

Love the special appearance from Dog

[@SarahMaywalt]

A musician who will pet a dog in the middle of a set is a musician who has his priorities straight.

[@RedMeansRecording]

He's a good dog

[@SarahMaywalt]

@@RedMeansRecording You only need to see him for a moment to know he's an absolute sweetheart. God, I love dogs.

[@maquettemusic1623]

First track almost has a Sparta by Ten Walls flavour to it. Reminds me of the early 2010s UK house scene, when things like Aus Music, Dusky and co. were exploding on the scene.

[@MatSymon]

Pure talent

[@audiblevideo]

My favorite Jeremy is Dancing Jeremy!

[@user82938]

I love that you are on team Octatrack now.

[@RedMeansRecording]

its awesome

[@maharishi_ds]

Yeah, that kicks.

[@jadewagenaar2431]

Yoh! that drop in smashed me

[@SyncdAlien]

Sounds incredible! I see you also have a spare appendage there, but it never seems to lend a hand!

[@Sigmatic850]

It’s for the obligatory low-five after gig.

[@ceetronic]

Afternoon

[@Luis-il5nb]

Fantastic! I hope you consider teaching us to improvise like that with the deluge.

[@Reginaldred907]

More cowbell please

[@ColossusBall]

This is awesome. With State Azure's recent Deluge performances, I really hope to see a bunch of new Deluge users out there! And maybe some insight for how to make use of the CV/Gate outs! :D

[@RedMeansRecording]

I'm actually using midi and not cv here. Hermod is translating. I will do a video on it at some point.

[@ColossusBall]

@@RedMeansRecording Oh sick. :D

[@pedrogomis]

you are the Boss

[@FuZZbaLLbee]

Was on another browser tab, while this was playing. Thinking this sounds really good. So i looked, ah red means recording, that explains it.

[@MrMatthewKerr]

10:38 - Holy shit balls, that's so groovy.

[@WHOTFSAIDuWu]

All part of a fully balanced breakfast Bacon ✔ Eggs✔ Vibes✔✔

[@RedMeansRecording]

[@Psionetics]

Jammin!

[@rrrobart9]

I love it when the dog shows up! The end is amazing. The whole thing sounds great; even on my phone. What’s the iPad for?

[@weisland2807]

yes yes yes

[@spenzakwsx4430]

funky!!!

[@alejandropnt]

amzing set Jeremy, please tell me that you have another video coming that dissects what you do on the modular side... 🥺

[@JoseRomero-yr3wl]

🔥⚡️

[@harponderous5259]

reminds me of Harry Thumans Underwater.... you had me head nodding at 5.00 am this morning..no mean feat

[@thepeopleschoice431]

Deluge is my shit bro. My fav piece of electronic hardware. I use mine for hip hop beats.

[@Chromaticosomaermati]

This was amazing and wonderful then at 20:23 it became perfect and resplendent. 🐺

[@RedMeansRecording]

awoo

[@Sarahbuildsstepsequencers]

You need to sell your music, Jeremy! You make your system sing like no one else!

[@TheBuenoWorldDrone]

Enjoyed it. Like it. # 427. Take care & seeU soon for more. ^^
