The more often I come back to this video the more I'm convinced it is a masterpiece

[@cityz3n]

and it still is

[@tobywan12]

Me to, I like his other vid as well... Just amazing both visually as well as sonically!!

[@do6erman]

This video was for me the gateway to heaven/hell of synthesizers and electronic music...forever!

[@NOREMAC_P]

7 years later and I still come back here for this 🫡

[@xislost]

I keep coming back. Sometimes it takes a while for me to find this gem, but damn it's always worth it. The composition, the intention and the minimalism of this sounds is incredibly satisfying. I guess what I am trying to say is.. Thank you. To you who is inspired, go for it. Whatever happens, it will be genuine.

[@arturomartinez1982]

Timeless , I will never get bored of listening this masterpiece

[@analogmoose]

I think this has become my favourite of the MOTR series of clips. I really like the sounds made, the compact set-up and neat tricks with the SQ1 sequencers and the ambience of the city view. I confess it was this clip and then watching Nick Batt with the Erebus on Sonicstate straight after it that made me go and buy an Erebus immediately :)

[@tangledwaves2659]

Same here. Interesting confluences 🙂

[@utleychase7]

i love this little concept of the 'On The Roof' very original and very easy listening

[@thb-music]

This video is really something special. Six years on and it it still hits hard.

[@keithnegley8231]

I just bought an Erebus after watching this. Atlantis some day. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@afterthewar54]

This video convinced me to get into synthesizers and start making music again. Seven years later I've never come to close to anything this fantastic, but I've had a lot of fun trying and made a surprising number of friends along the way.

[@pwaegemans]

And here we are again!

[@Eric_Shaun]

Thank you for this unbelivable beautiful song..i literally have tears in my eyes...its so god damn emotional...thank you....

[@rorykhanmohon]

My absolute favorite of this series that you've done. This is perfection.

[@R---66---R]

As if YOU try to manage any contact with buildings of the city on the horizon...have they contacted YOU back, in the meantime? Beauty...and some form of abstract serenities. I think this is a really unique ways of looking at life...love it!

[@Timecop1983]

Absolutely love it! Great video as usual!

[@eightballpl]

Oh, Timecop1983 is here.

[@pyrofiliac]

Timecop1983 Hi Timecop, if you'd like to do a session for #modularontheroof, send us a message on our facebook page :))

[@Timecop1983]

I'd love to Nick, but i have zero experience with modulars unfortunately! I am thinking about getting a system, but i'm afraid i will get lost in endless patching sessions... But it's so tempting! I love your work by the way, gives me a lot of inspiration!

[@pyrofiliac]

Timecop1983 Likewise! Love your music. I think we have smiliar influences. If you're nearby and want to hang, i can show you my modular. i think it'd be a blast

[@urzathehappy72]

pyrofiliac o bby i wana hangout n peep that modular ;)))

[@iShrekedJoeMama]

It’s been two years since I first saw that jam and it’s still giving me goosebumps

[@gurukimci]

Amazing! Found this during one of my late night KZbin explorations, listened to it until I fell asleep. First thing the morning I woke up, was playing this again. Amazing...

[@Codygurz]

This is Gorgeous. perfect setting.

[@FILML4D4N]

you dont need a wall of modules! Great!

[@skyreadersociety6183]

Nooooooooooooooooo - please not!!! Stay with a few boxes and focus on the music! Ok. maybe a decent reverb - BAM? Ummmm FILML4D4N wrote "dont need" and I missread "do need". Sorry but you got my point anyway. The Atlantis is a gem, had it and miss it now a little bit. Also teh erebus is fine, but I found it in the end too limited, never used the duo mode. But the dreadboxes have a really heavy sound that go on par with the moogs.

[@hammercanttouchthis]

skyreader society 'focus on the music' the best advice I've seen on YT in ages :) so true

[@milanspasic2719]

Erebus and Atlantis are essentially two walls of modules.

[@scapegoatbuddy180]

Awesome. Love the all of the beautiful nuances in timbre, and the way you use of noise is a superb touch.

[@OlivioSarikas]

2021 - still love to come back to this session and listen to it again and again :)

[@dmiltenberger]

seriously incredible. this video is literally convincing me to get into modular synthesis. great stuff Nick Kwas!!

[@kadman6]

This is beautiful man! Made my day.

[@3rdprsn]

Quite a journey. Thanks for the vibe

[@bendickson3486]

Just found this and I’m very pleased that I did. Thank you 🙏🏼

[@Psychlist1972]

The lead on the roof adds more weight to the sound. :)

[@willynebula6193]

This inspires me on so many levels!

[@martindirkzimmer]

Gotta admit, I had _not_ expected actual _music_ from a setup like this! Thank you very much for sharing! Truly beautiful!

[@churchoftheriff7274]

Excelent work. Really enjoyed it. Brilliant!

[@OlivioSarikas]

2022 Still one of my favorite Modular Tracks

Wow, very nice! Great sound and use of modular synth!

[@DANNFIGDESIGNS]

Great work! I'm a fan for life.

[@djsoulfeggio]

This proves you don't have to have Richard Devine's budget to make great sounding music with Modular synthesizers.

[@tobywan12]

That setup is still £2K I reckon

[@theodorecupier5920]

Loving this!

[@Timecop1983]

Love it!! Great job Nick!!

[@matthewtunnicliffe201]

[@Quodge]

Those 3 or so sections of wet delay synth swirl are glorious.

[@LarsBjerregaard]

[@LANolan]

[@busch028]

Sunset and sequenced lines remind me a touch of BoC. Lovin the vibe.

[@hart1975]

Still awesome. I think this was one of videos which got me started with modular :)

[@scttcmpbll]

Amazing use of the SQ-1s. You're making it hard for me to talk myself out of buying an Atlantis...

[@montgomeryword7748]

Scott Campbell you won't regret it. my favorite of 18u of modules.

[@Quodge]

Dewwwww eeeet

[@jefferson4213]

bloody love your sessions. pure pleasure. come play on my roof in Barcelona, Spain when you're here. great views ... good vibes ... like your music!

[@MegaDauerdicht]

ABSOLUT NETT!!!!!! und musikalisch ganz weit vorne. Respekt......

[@cryptout]

Awesome!

[@CardinalMarginal]

Completely Love.

[@saxmidiman]

I don't like to use this word, but can't think of better...AWESOME!!! I really enjoyed listening to this.

[@poseidonsdescent4282]

Really cool!

[@iuricomi6502]

amazing sound!!

[@mattkaz9604]

lovely sound palette. Nice.

[@ModularLanding]

Nick, this is great! Met you at KnobCon a few months back and happy to see this! Wonderful stuff!

[@DMichaelJohnson]

Beautifully done...subscribed

[@TravellingSynths]

Incredible!

[@stephensmitherman5243]

wonderful sound

[@DatVolt]

Great concept!

[@iqi616]

Great sounds.

[@ErnovanZeben]

Very clever set up, i'm not realy in to eurorack modules cause they are limitless, i like the limitation of a small system. Came at your channel cause i was looking for erebus videos. A tiny clever set up makes a great set up. Still got the SQ1 drivin my mutable shruti wich is a great combo for my own set up. . . . . . but this set up made me look in a other direction as well . . . . big thumb up

[@hardymaritz1222]

Love it. Subscribed. Thanks

[@cmpmusic9495]

I never really considered modular synths because I thought it was unorganized, but then I saw this video and it changed my mind...

[@moooooooonshaped]

really nice!

[@someone2121212122121]

roof hipsters my greatest fear

[@jt0308]

we're surrounded!

[@Jaysusitsme]

Is it a health and safety issue? 😂

[@gabrieljennings5492]

*hisses in analogue*

[@waltersmetak]

Brilliant comment!

[@maxmaxington5873]

They’ll get you they will

[@yassinbobot5146]

Purely Divine

[@EchoKraft]

So good !

[@StaticSkyTV]

The opening, in particular, has a very Battle of Evermore feel to it. Nice.

[@busch028]

Love the series. Quite fun. I'm probably about 15 mins from you guys. :-)

[@machinesoulrecords]

Excellent!

[@flyingdejong]

Love it again:D
