Ambient Liveset (Home Concert 56)

[@MartinStuertzer]

I just released a walkthrough video, in which I explained how I recorded this liveset: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHjFaaaVZtp3hdE

[@robmlisanti]

TAL-J-8 you recommend it over the Roland one?

[@hetch007]

Does part:3 have a name?

[@wimmoh]

Excellent - Part 1 is my favourite.

[@yvesbouillet1290]

Neptunissimo !!

[@ruudix]

Martin I enjoyed it again, it's getting more and more enjoyable, it doesn't stop....

[@ValeriyKoshelev]

Martin, hello! Thank you very much for your incredible music! I noticed that in the first two sets you used Bitwig, and in the 3rd and 4th sets you used Ableton. I’m very interested in what this is connected with, and which DAW do you prefer to work in? Bitwig or Ableton? And why?

[@MrUniCorn-j6q]

Just loop Part 3 forever and ever.

[@treal512]

Freakin' wonderful. Thank you!

[@Internetredakteur]

[@BulkySplash169]

Very nice lead in part 3!

[@RealartPainting]

Sehr schön zum relaxen und entspannen .hört mann immer sehr gerne .merci vielmals .gruss aus Ungarn

[@BubbaSatori]

Amazing drones and basses. 9/10. Deducted one point for not enough Neptun. 😿

[@bigbadchang]

The illumination from the Push3 makes this look a bit like 2001: A Space Odyssey!

[@sandytrunks]

Part 4 is extraordinarily beautiful!

[@StellardroneMusic]

I concur

[@lukasgraesslin]

Beautiful! I come mainly from a metal background but electronic music like this fascinates me so much I also went into the synthesizer rabbit hole as well. Now I not only have GAS with guitar gear but with synths as well...brilliant :D

[@MartinStuertzer]

I am so sorry! ;) I also have a history with metal music, what kind of genres and bands are you into?

[@GuidoGautsch]

​@@MartinStuertzer with a name like Stürtzer, metal sounds like a better fit than ambient 😁

[@lukasgraesslin]

@@MartinStuertzer "it's complicated" 🙃 I'm into all sorts of metal subgenres, if I HAD to name some I defintely have a soft spot for progressive (earlier Opeth, Leprous, Ihsahn) but also black metal. Personally I released two symphonic/orchestral instrumental metal albums as "Nahtram" which are influenced by Opeth and Wintersun but I'm currently also working on some atmospheric black metal tracks.

[@marcus268]

@@lukasgraesslin Maybe have a listen to Zenon Label music, its progressive dark techno you might like with that background. (I do, and i started with all sorts of death metal.)

[@urbannpa]

I came across your KZbin while searching for videos of the Access Polar TI. In one of your videos It looks like your using a hardware controller at your desk to control the synthesizers. Can you tell me what controller you were using. Love The Cat.

[@lummsmusik3219]

Dann, arrived too late here! Good evening from Koblenz, Germany.

[@johncrichton4341]

I was at your train station back in 2008!

[@francescolucarno6214]

Part 3 is particularly wonderful

[@jeedmodorn5494]

Learnings is rarely as enjoyable and inspiring as this.

[@marcinp3343]

Perfect!! Greetings from Poland!

This is beautiful ❤

Martin, jak zwykle rewelacja. Pozdrowienia z Polski

[@Blade1310]

Superb music Martin. Very relaxing and far better than the horrible bangs and cracks of fireworks outside here in England tonight!

[@sub-jec-tiv]

It freaks out all the poor house pets, everywhere. 😤 Same in the States on July 4. 👎

[@JuanjoButron]

Wow that session is awesome. I really like your musical atmospheres...

[@sarolarosa3759]

Atmosfere ipnotiche, sognanti, fantastiche.....

[@TilliKommunikation]

Life-saving sounds. ❤

[@AlekAEMCRaven]

So much appreciation from Venezuela to you, man. Thanks a lot for your music!!

Geile Stimmung !✨

[@klangwerk3812]

Great! Big song ever! 👍

[@chd1401]

Amazing, as always! Thank you Martin!

[@John-e4p1x]

37:50 what synths for the spacey pads?

[@ikarugamoo]

Sublime work. Unpretentious synth work as always. Out of interest, how comes you switch between Bitwig & Live? Other than the Push, is there something Live is giving you over Bitwig? MPE on Push looks to be the main reason.

[@MartinStuertzer]

Thank you! I prepared the first parts on Bitwig and then I wanted to use the Push MPE function for the lead sound. My workflow is very much based on the Push which makes Bitwig less interesting for me.

[@nicholasgreen5574]

Hi @@MartinStuertzer - do you think the MPE implementation by Moss does not work as well as Ableton/Live MPE? Great solo sound by the way!

[@arnoroorda3201]

Wow really really nice! ❤😢

[@Taka_Takata]

A terrific arc to these 4 parts, bravo!

[@jaykay981]

beautiful

[@FranciscoCosta-d6t]

Fascinating

[@mysticchords]

Hope you release this set as i'd love to purchase it and have the tracks on high quality wav files.. peace.

[@MartinStuertzer]

Some of the tracks are going to be on my next album, which is currently in the pressing plant. Coming "soon".

[@johnbeckett8367]

Fantastic as usual...

[@marcus268]

Is there an upcomming show @planetarium Bochum again?

[@MartinStuertzer]

I would like to come back but there is nothing planned right now.

[@Headphones_Only]

Love the vibe and the soundquality is superb as always.😙 Is this routed through a hardware analogue compressor ?

[@MartinStuertzer]

Thank you! No, all mixing is done inside the computer. I am using only a gentle compression and limiter by Fabfilter on the master.

[@BerndScheurer]

genau das richtige jetzt! umfangreiche updates an einer website - und perfektes ambiente dazu. vielen dank!

[@TheBrettEnglish]

Part 4 makes my ears sparkle✨

[@charlesnitti5828]

Great stuff man

[@EvolvedSun]

I totally love this.

[@dalemoore387]

Really looking forward to it.

[@sliwickimichal]

Great music Martin. How long you spend preparing your sessions live?

[@MartinStuertzer]

I have been working on this set for three weeks, probably 10 to 20 hours total.

[@franckrobert282]

Le résultat est plus excellent, c’est grandiose ❤❤❤

[@JamesMyddelton]

Fantastic !

[@ChancellorAllen]

It looks like Martin is using driven by moss in the push three. I wonder if he is using Bitwig?

[@MartinStuertzer]

I used Bitwig for the first two parts and Ableton for parts 3 & 4.

[@rudigerjung4367]

Gute Abendgrüsse nach Wuppertal

[@TripTilt]

awesome!

[@powermix24]

Great set today! Enjoyed it a lot. 2nd and third tracks are on point! Do you prefer Ableton to bitwig?

[@MartinStuertzer]

Difficult question. Both have their ups and downs. If the integration with Push3 was as good as it is in Ableton I would probably use Bitwig more.

[@powermix24]

@@MartinStuertzer Thanks for your input, i know there are many controllers, wish we had a dedicated one for Bitwig. Came across this Yaeltex LIVE15 seems really neat but it's pricey! Push 3 is what I want it seems really solid.

[@sub-jec-tiv]

Beautiful work, sir. 🥇 I enjoy that you use whatever sounds good. Hardware, plugins, DAW, etc. So many people get caught up about tools, instead of just making good music. Love from the chilly northern North America. ❄️ 💗

[@MartinStuertzer]

Thanks a lot!

[@-----x]

Greetings from Atlanta Georgia. What is more relaxing than a cat by a lava lamp listening to the inimitable Martin Stürtzer?

[@dimakinash]

[@culverepps7858]

Part 3...wow! The guitar sound reminds me of Steve Hillage of System 7. Great stuff

[@LuisTorres-qz5kr]

Amazing, what can I say, I can listen to your music all day long. Thanks for sharing your talents of sound design & application.

[@tobimm2]

Ist das Bitwig? Läuft das bereits mit dem Push 3?

[@MartinStuertzer]

Die ersten beiden Stücke habe ich mit Bitwig gemacht. Mit einem Skript namens "driven by moss" lassen sich die meisten Funktionen der Push nutzen.

[@willswitchcraft]

some awesome moments...........................thanks for continuing to upload such excellent content...................

[@nagualjan]

Great! I still love Your minimalistic, clean vibes and atmospherics...

[@thomasrichardson777]

Beautiful sounds!

[@MikeRenouf]

Hi Martin, wonderful sounds as always! Quick question - when you plan a set, do you decide what key each piece will be written in as part of the overall design? Or do you just write individual pieces and then choose a play order afterwards?

[@MartinStuertzer]

The first track is usually random and then when I start the next one I decide where to move. But there is no meaning or plan behind that, I just try to avoid having the same key twice in a set to make it more interesting to listen to.

[@LagrangePointD]

Hallo Martin. Das gefällt mir durchgehend ausserordentlich gut! Beim ersten dachte ich gleich, dass wir das doch schon hatten... dann hast Du gezeigt was aus einer vermeintlich einfachen Idee entstehen kann. Sehr harmonische Sounds, sogar besser als das "Original". Das letzte Stück ist im Genre schlicht perfekt: wunderschön. Chapeau et merci !

[@oxygen242]

Hab vor kurzem Tangerine Dream in Essen Live gesehen übrigens Moogulator war als Gast auch dabei, und jetzt heute Abend mal wieder eine Wunderbare Reise von Dir, einfach ganz große Klasse. Ich hoffe das ich irgendwann schaffe Dich Live zu sehen. Bis es soweit ist freue mich schon riesig auf nexten Set von Dir .

[@andreygonik4448]

Thanks from Tel-Aviv!!!!!

Sending my love to you in these difficult times. I hope you and your loved ones are safe.

[@shibakaneki555]

I really like Part 2, nice job! and thank you!

[@olir614]

What happened to the black corporation synth? Did you send it back?

[@MartinStuertzer]

I only had it for testing, it is not in my studio anymore.

[@olir614]

@@MartinStuertzer what did you think of it compared to something like the TAL or Arturia J-8 vsts with the controller?

[@MartinStuertzer]

to be honest I can't hear a difference between the hardware and the TAL-J-8. Arturia is not as good compared to the other two, but offers more features like additional LFO and some routing tricks. @@olir614

[@olir614]

@@MartinStuertzer what would you say isn’t as good about the Arturia one? I have the Arturia one but not the TAL. I was looking at a SFC-8 like you have so then I have a proper feeling polysynth rather than just a VST. Thanks for your time btw

[@stevefarley9418]

Music that grabs you & you don't want it to let go.

[@MartinStuertzer]

Zwei Stücke werden in Kürze auf meinem nächsten Album veröffentlicht sein. Die kompletten home concerts sind aber nicht bei den Streaming Diensten, weil es sonst zu unübersichtlich wird.

[@wicky4473]

@@MartinStuertzer oh yeah!

[@jarednight3648]

To be honest...Only idiots buy hardware synths in order to limit themselves with drone ambient. You normally do all that with one or two soft synths.

[@johnlyelldotcom]

Very nice !! No Subsequent 37 ? Quick question on your Jasper keyboard stands: Which Jasper model do you have...the 3D-120B ? Thanks !!

[@MartinStuertzer]

The Sub37 needed a repair because some of the knobs stopped working. It is going to be back soon. I have one 140b and one 120b.

[@johnlyelldotcom]

@@MartinStuertzer Thanks for the info !! Nice pad from the Virus TI2 !! Also, where did you get those little desktop stands you're using for your OB-6 and Prophet 10 modules ? I'd really like to get a couple of those as I have an OB-6 module as well. Thanks !!

[@johnlyelldotcom]

Martin - Great stuff here !! I assume that the Prophet 10 sounds different enough from the OB-6 to justify owning both ? I have the OB-6 and am looking at getting the OB-X8. Have you tried out the Prophet 6 ? I'm also thinking about getting the Prophet 6 Module but not sure if it sounds too close to the OB-6 to justify purchasing.

[@MartinStuertzer]

A very good question. Both synths have a different sound and I like both very much. But to be honest, U-He Repro-5 does the same job, I could not tell the two apart and I still use Repro-5 a lot. I never had the Prophet 6, so I cannot tell you something about it. I would avoid the Rev2, I found the sound not very "prophet"-like compared to the software.

[@johnlyelldotcom]

@@MartinStuertzer Thanks for the info !! Have you considered getting the OB-X8 Module ?
