Ambient / Sequencer Liveset with my entire setup (Home Concert 53)

Welcome to the 53rd edition of my home concert series. I played four new tracks and used pretty much all of the synths that I have in my studio. Midi sequencing, routing and mixing were handled in Bitwig.
My new vinyl album is out now!

I am so glad Martin shares his wonderful creations all the time. Listening to his work makes my day!

[@robertsatterthwaite8958]

Got to love cats!

[@Gtcman]

After a hard day's work, I come home and listen to Martin. It's pure relaxation and everything suddenly seems great again. Pure bliss for the brain

[@David_K_Booth]

I had to miss the premiere - it was very early in the day in my time zone - but it was particularly good to be able to see your comments, and the rest of the chat, as I played it back. Great set, and what a great community too!

[@martinmaitri1868]

wonderfull best berlin school track ever 🎼⚡️

[@paul.van.hemmen]

❤ thank you for this brilliant live set. The musical and production quality in your work is outstanding. Couldn’t really find much ambient pieces that resonate with me like your music does.

[@rayderrich]

Pouring in a cup of tea while playing an album's worth of epic sounds, I am amazed.

[@MartinStuertzer]

Tea is good!

The musical wizard does it again, takes us on mind blowing journey

[@AversuzMusic]

Very beautiful improvisation!!! My cat - Jupiter - also helps me in creating music - sometimes he presses with his paw - and I respect that)))

[@MartinStuertzer]

Your cat must be much bigger than Neptun and very gassy!

[@AversuzMusic]

@@MartinStuertzer ))))))))))yezzz!!

[@PhilAndersonOutside]

I used to have a cat that liked to do this. He was good at playing twelve-tone music. 🙂

[@JayaLove]

Came here for the ambient jam, stayed for the adorable loving cat!

[@herw4885]

Kann leider nicht live verfolgen, hole ich aber am Montag nach. Ich wünsche allen anderen viel Freude und dir, lieber Martin, ein erfolgreiches Konzert! ciao herw 😎

[@HouseJawn]

Still my favorite of your concerts

[@MartinStuertzer]

Thank you! I played part 3 again on my concert in Wuppertal last Friday. The video will be released on Sunday.

[@Deep_Sky_]

Deep and spacey. Love it.

[@ryanradpictures]

Thank you for sharing your talent and passion with us. This is a true masterpiece that deserves recognition. Keep up the amazing work!

[@MartinStuertzer]

thanks!

[@boomtherehewas]

superb sound, I have a cat supervisor as well :p

[@nigelcraven]

Usually asleep when these concerts are live. So really great to be able to be able to listen to this one live, and comment, whilst visiting Zagreb

[@RetrocausalMemories]

Amazing jam! (cool set up as well)👏👏 Suscribed!

[@moonandmelodies]

Great music as always! Cheers !

[@barbaraallen9000]

Just discovered you by accident, though I don't believe in accidents only synchronicities. Been a fan of Tangerine Dream forever & then State Asure. It was only inevitable that I found you. Absolutely love it, find it very calming, also think that every studio should have a cat supervising. Love your cat, reminds my of one of my 1st. cats 🐈 Spook. You just gained a new follower, brilliant piece.

[@gavinblair8546]

Solid

[@Cristian-01]

Bravo!

[@synthebo]

Martin: THE BEST!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@gorogne]

Einfach FANTASTISCH! Höre dich fast täglich auf Spotify. Um dich zu unterstützen, kauf ich mir jetzt nach und nach all deine Alben auf Bandcamp, die mich glücklich machen. Und das tun fast alle! ;-)

[@lovesteersthestars]

Martin eats Tangerine Dream for breakfast

[@MartinStuertzer]

lol

[@carstenwiesekoeln]

But he's nothing without his cat!!! 😂 Phantastisch Mr. Stürtzer! Part 3 und sein simple Chord Change Sequencing ist absolut grandios... Klaus Schulze wäre stolz auf Dich. Go on!

[@johnbeckett8367]

BOTH are great and unique in their own ways. You CAN'T compare them

[@VoltageMaze]

danke.

[@SoundMediaVibes]

I hit the button to make 501 thumbs up! 👍👍👍👍👍 BTW cat hairs can get inside your keyboards, happened to me!

[@MartinStuertzer]

Cat hairs? Never! 😩

[@glyndarby1715]

Hi Martin, just finished watching this, wow mate definitely one of if not your best yesterday. It has everything in it, , beautiful pads, full basses, pure leads and great sequences. Hope this is going to be made into an album. Cheers Glyn.

This is amazing, reminds me of Vangelis! 🌌

This was like a good therapy, i finally calmed down and had normal rest. And i felt much better in the morning. Thanks for you music, it helps a lot

[@TheC0G]

First time I have watched you on my home studio PC instead of my mobile phone. Wow, what a fantastic experience. Thank you ever so much for sharing your talents and music! 🎹🎶🎼 😎👍

[@stevenmartin1607]

Massive sound! Really liked this.

[@PhilAndersonOutside]

Wonderful. Reminds me of some of Steve Roach active sequencer work. Love the cool cat!

[@cryochamberlabel]

Wonderful as always Martin!

[@abstractamcr]

as always, masterful work. The stand out though, the synth cat bring the chill vibes. Mine just like to press every button on every mixer and synth in my studio, its most frustrating.

[@AussieRic]

WoW Simply The Best Awesomeness !!!

[@roxanbarder5968]

excellent works.

[@andreasoberg2021]

Listening to this while reading my Moog One manual. Perfect combo!

[@MartinStuertzer]

Sounds great! Do you also have the synth, or just the manual? This is a real question, as I do collect manuals from synths, even when I don't have them.

[@andreasoberg2021]

@@MartinStuertzer Hi Martin. Haha, that is actually a good question. Yes I do have it. I got it only a few weeks ago so learning it currently. I also have a Quantum MK2 which I love to bits. I also collect manuals for synths that I do not have, I have found that they are very good to collect on Ipad iBooks, super easy to read and you can underline with apple pencil. Perfect for sofa days. So far the One has been very exciting, it has some incredibly powerful features. I was happy to find that you can actually build quite complex functions, assign them to custom variables and route into whatever you want. I for example build a mosquito (!) sound by using a random signal, applying smoothing to the noise source and changing the pitch with it. I also like that the UI is very fast to work with.

[@AndroLectric]

so gefühlvoll und schön 🙆‍♂️ DANKE Martin ...love your Music ❤

[@ivanbaridon-noordic]

Awesome set my friend!

[@nous_geneticus4007]

Vielen Dank, Martin, für ein weiteres Quantum Musik.

[@TilliKommunikation]

Acoustic dreamscape. Love it.

[@soulflower8687]

I have listened to Part 3 so many times. It's one of your best. It's kind of erotic.

[@MartinStuertzer]

Thank you!

[@drKrollspell]

Fabulous 🏆 Master !!

[@goosf5527]

Jak zwykle przepiękna muzyka. Fajnie się przy niej pracuje

[@dim7319]

amazing collection of synths the sound is just space and leads and pads

[@moshik5]

1 cat to rule them all! 🐈‍⬛ Also, great tunes! 😇

[@dreamdealer]

amazing stuff Martin, those tones are so soothing, thank you for your work.

[@MartinStuertzer]

Thank you!

[@RockLobster223]

Just lovely - the master of restraint! I'd be too tempted to be a bit heavy handed with one of the synths, and accidentally ruin the whole session!

[@user-my1sr4sk2s]

BELLO !!!

[@NightflyerD]

One can truly learn from you. You just got a fan 😁

[@stephengault7479]

Fantastic Martin!

[@andresrebolledo2623]

Maravilloso!!!! Un Viaje Sideral!!

[@wulfboi8808]

Neptun must be a genius by now after taking in all the incredible sounds by osmosis. He's looking better than ever. Does he have his own special tea? 😸

[@jantack1559]

Absolutely amazing set; belongs to the very best of EM. And the cat is cool too.

[@denispolic2404]

Die komplette Session ist großartig, der Part 3 hat mich am meisten beeindruckt, sehr feiner Stück, höre mir das Ganze an in Urlaub als wundervoller Beitrag Deinerseits zu meiner persönlichen Nirvana, vielen Dank für die wundervolle musikalische Erfahrung Martin!!!

[@MartinStuertzer]

Dankeschön!

[@wulfboi8808]

Sorry, Neptun & Martin for not commenting in quite some time. I don't know what was going on but I couldn't find your new posts. I "think" the problem is rectified. This is utterly fantastic‼Ethereal, floating in space music. 🐺💯😻👍🌎🧡🌌🎈🪐🛸🚀🏳‍🌈💥

[@GoatFelon]

This was absolutely brilliant to listen to. I've already come back and listened to it again twice since the premiere. Really great performance, and awesome playing!

[@MartinStuertzer]

Thank you! Listening to the same set multiple times is a very good way to support me in terms of the youtube algorithm. I am also happy that you enjoy the music!

[@_Light_bar_]

For that you should tell people about updated Revanced youtube apk in description or pinned comments to download so they can easily listen..counting playback. Because I can use IDM or so, doesn't help with algorithm.

[@herw4885]

@Martin : Montag, ein Tag nach deinem Konzert: wow, ganz anderer Stil. Part 1:Stepic wird intensiv genutzt und klingt äußerst dynamisch. Mir gefällt auch, dass es ein vorproduziertes live Konzert ist und du dadurch auf Kommentare direkt eingehen kannst. Part 2: sehr viele Dissonanzen zu Beginn, gefällt mir äußerst gut; mächtige Klänge Part 3: sehr schönes Bass-Thema; offenbar setzt du alle sichtbaren Synths ein, sehr viele unterschiedliche Klänge, rückwärts gespieltes Echo: äußerst ideenreich Part 4: eine schöne Klangkollage Fazit: Das Konzert hat mir sehr gut gefallen, auch weil die vier Parts sehr unterschiedlich sind. Das würde ich gerne mal im Planetarium Bochum hören. ciao herw

[@MartinStuertzer]

Vielen Dank für deine ausführliche Rückmeldung! Ich hoffe, dass ich bald wieder ein Planetarium unsicher machen kann!

[@sonuslab5337]

Genau die richtigen Frequenzen. Sehr schöner Sound. "(°..°)"

That track 38:30 is incredible, hopefully i will be capable to do something similar in the future. If I could be half as good i'd be pleased.

[@michael_rs]

Looks like the last few minutes were a collaberation with your cat :)

[@AussieRic]

This reminds me of my most favourite...Interstellar Soundtrack by Hans Zimmer

[@josephgoldbach2109]

I am SUCH a big fan. Great stuff. BTW, I'm guessing your cat plays drums? Just wondering.

[@psy0rz]

Neptune took a foodbreak :) did he ever tip over that lavalamp? Also the fur on his back would make a nice logo! Its kind of like a sound wave.

[@PsychologyAcademia]

Martin you might want to think about the story when doing a live set. I know the concept is space ambient but the Parts are without a story. Just drifting through time and space. A narrative would vastly improve things from an interest pov. Peaceful sounds though.

[@MartinStuertzer]

I don't like the idea of conceptualizing music because it limits the listener's own imagination. I got a lot of messages from people who told me about their own journeys that they had while listening to my music and I like that a lot. Also I am very bad at storytelling and prefer to make music and tell a story on that layer.

[@PsychologyAcademia]

Fair enough. I guess that Ambient shouldnt have a story. @@MartinStuertzer

[@mickyr.6923]

Late to the party, I recently discovered your music via State Azure, and I’m delighted I did. On this set, part 3 particularly stands out for me on this performance. More of that please! A question if I may. On your live sets do you have a definite idea of what pieces will work well together, or is it more a case of playing what you’ve been working on over the period and seeing how they fit? I’m just curious. Either way, thank you for producing some wonderful music.

[@MartinStuertzer]

Thank you! The ratio of preparation and improvisation is different from set to set. Usually I prepare a few sounds and patterns, which work together in a good way. But there are also sets, in which I start with an empty project. When a lot of melodies and rhythmic elements come together it requires a higher grade of preparation.

[@kapelushnikshalony8800]

Your sounds are amazing! The atmosphere and mood. I am full of wonder. I would like to compare your piece to other composers, but you are original. I would like to make such music but I have no experience. I have no knowledge base. I have only a Roland A500 keyboard and a pirated FL Sudio program :( But maybe someday, someone will show me basics of how to make modern electronic music. Thanks again for this music.

[@MartinStuertzer]

Being original is the best compliment an artist can get. Thank you very much. There are a lot of beginners guide online, just go for it!

[@THR-zf6ti]

Including your excellent interview with Loopop! @@MartinStuertzer

[@MrMarcLaflamme]

This was awesome (as always)! Did you get rid of your small modular case?

[@MartinStuertzer]

I still have the small cases but at the moment they are not in my studio. There is not enough space to set up everything at the same time.

[@ir8123]

....digital drugs ❤

[@solyarisoftware]

Hi Martin, in this video and in general, are you using some tool to recording/playing loops, right? Are you using MIDI looping (on Ableton) or what instead? Thanks for your music sharing!

[@joestone3030]

Sehr fein... 1 Abo mehr 🤙

[@BubbaSatori]

Neptun time stamp 0:01 😺🎧

[@pau.vilella]

Amazing as usual Martin. May I ask which lights you are using on the sides of the jaspers. They look awesome. Thanks!

[@MartinStuertzer]

Thank you! These are called YN 360 II by Yongnu.

[@MarianoPerez]

If you could have just one synth for your style of music, which would it be. I really enjoy your concerts. Ive been wanting to get a synth. I mainly have romplers (fantom 8, kronos, motif) for other styles of music. But Im looking for a synth to learn to program that also has tons of that scifi/ambient sounds.

[@Kabelix]

Fantastisch, vielen Dank! If I may ask: The core in Bitwig, aside from mixing, is ENSO and some Stepic Presets I asusme? It is magic what you make out of this. So, the preparation of your live sets is (of course aside from composing): Finding the sounds, arrange and mix them in BItwig, prepare Stepic and youre good to go?

[@MartinStuertzer]

Yes, I used both Enso and Stepic for this Set. Programming the sounds so they fit together well and deciding on which parts I sequence and which I play live are the most important parts of the preparation.

[@nicholasgreen5574]

Hi Martin - it was perfect as always. How do you find the Push 2 with Bitwig? Do you still have the Push 3 or was it a demo unit? Many thanks for your music and your teaching!

[@MartinStuertzer]

Push with Bitwig is ok, although I find it confusing that the clip launcher is horizontal on the screen but vertical on the Push. My Push 3 needs to be sent back to Ableton for repair and it literally takes weeks to get any kind of response from Ableton. Not cool.

[@EtherealSoundsStudio]

What's the name of Part 3? Do you have it available for purchase? (love your music btw)

[@Delirium337]

Seems in earlier videos, the cat had a bedding? Turn the bedding back to the cat :) Liveset is great, thanks!

[@MartinStuertzer]

Neptun does not enjoy his catbed anymore. I even put it in the washing machine, but he does not like to sit or sleep in it.
