[@behlers]

that rig is worth more than the house under it....

[@syncdestroyer]

Not in NYC it's not.

[@spaceman103]

Johnny Lancia But that guy is!

[@WiredSpaceWizard]

Yeah, but the building doesn’t make cool noises like the rig does.

[@pedalfiles4441]

He actually has the unit patched into the house and is using the doorbell as a killswitch. Its also powering the neighborhood.

[@chrismiles1663]

Really beautiful organic growth throughout the jam -- Kyteman does it again...And, pyrofiliac, I'm hoping you've got plans to keep the 'modular on the roof' series growing, it's a great idea!

[@agamemnonc]

I discovered Colin through this video. I will be eternally grateful for that, Nick; thank you.

[@99tropix]

Benders is probably the number one modular synth god in the world right now. He needs to bring out an album and hit the road.

[@sykens587]

Sawyer Brooks I like his root canel thearapy

[@zogjones]

He's got a good rig rundown interview. I just like his approach regardless of if it's groundbreaking or not. The first one I saw was Live at Amsterdam Dance 2016 which was pretty cool.

[@MrCardman12345]

FUCKIN A MAN

[@WellfortheBird]

I'm sure he could have done great with less modules, but once you got your setup, it's not like you are going to remove modules just to impress people with how simple your rig is.

[@electroniccat]

deadmau5... beat it.

[@12stranddna]

2019 and still my favourite

[@alexhaile7957]

@@aysecevikel6093 Yeah I don't usually fuck with comment trains like this, but this has transcended music and is like audio feelings injection

[@MrTheloraxtrees]

Great to see this come back up in my queue! This is how I found Colin - he's a great artist and you should check out his live shows on KZbin!!

[@jhardycarroll]

This is my favorite so far. Really excellent composition.

[@Jordan-fq6xo]

I really like this guy. His Amsterdam performance is kick ass too.

[@janhoracek6438]

actually - one of the best modular set i heard so far..

[@leeroyescu]

What a time to be alive

[@HousePlant_Ambient]

Seriously, getting into modulation can be very expensive, but once you're in, oh boy, it is just pure awesome and inspiring. Just having a box of your full control and imagination and go at it.

[@Lauri-B]

And if you have the slightest interest, get VCV Rack for your computer for free.

[@LiquidAge]

Holy fucking shit this is dope

[@feli_sara]

this is so beautiful... so much musicality and creativity in such a little space . Thank you for sharing your gift!

[@mynewcolour]

Hands down the most beautiful music I've heard in months. Subbed, and thank you.

[@DesertFishHQ]

One of the cleanest modular performances ive seen! Well done

[@FortunePodcast]

absolutely brilliant! You just earned a subscriber, friend

[@binershock]

Y'all high

[@mrramishlomi]

Bro ! You are amazing , thanks for giving us inspiration thank you

[@iborimusic]

This was epic! When you can hear a song from second one to minute seventeen constantly being in awe, you know it's great music!

[@JimManser]

really amazing synths ..location and sound ..modular brilliance

[@Jermsoup]

this is very inspiring. please don't stop producing these videos

[@WalterSchwarzElectronicMusic]

Fantastic work , like it !!!

[@barrowmeoct04]

At the beginning of this I was half expecting to see the monolith from '2001 space odyssey' to appear out of nowhere, or Chariots of Fire theme tune to start playing. This kept me on my toes for quite a bit wondering what's next, where is it going. Great stuff.

[@axiomcrux]

You just made me cry :_)

[@gregkeen6637]

DIGGING THIS! MORE PLEASE!

[@vanderHork]

[@Auxar]

[@PaulBoos]

[@TUBEDIGGA]

[@sunburst3353]

Epic Journey

[@genepozniak]

So, did any of the neighbors call the bomb squad? All those wires could've caused some paranoia. lol

[@mykhayloslobodyan1250]

I believe that roof is not in Russia and not in US.

[@DeefexNYC]

It's NYC. The tallest building on the right is The Empire State Building.

[@InXLsisDeo]

Yeah he was in Brooklyn two weeks ago, so I suppose it's where he did this jam.

[@ye77a]

Colin is magic

[@JonnoDuck]

This is fucking majestic.

[@AB-ij4zk]

Great! I would like to exchange two cables and let him search. Faszinating!

[@glitch314]

pure genius

[@moket808]

i'm blasted ...

[@kt-kr4gm]

madness!

[@chemicalBR0]

imagine some random stranger walking by in the street below dude would probably think we were being invaded :)

[@slatanek]

killed it!!!!

[@narudh]

WOW 10/10

[@fraandkiemusic]

EPIC

[@MrRaulMaster]

Holy Fuck this guy is really good!

[@MrPaddymulcahy]

ah yeah!!

[@chrisardito6322]

epic.

[@fiddlestickzmuzik]

such patience...like coming up on a good psychedelic..

[@prydrm8113]

Te gek dit!

[@sergioferrari8305]

omazing

[@DeefexNYC]

This is pretty cool. Making music and I see my city in the background. Do you do these often on your roof?

[@vigilancebrandon3888]

Damn.

[@JayKaufman]

Far too simple of a patch he's got there. I mean, sheesh!

[@markbonn1973]

Whahouh kiff totale ^^

[@gregoryschimanski7689]

Top

[@gorillaau]

Reminds me of Chariots of Fire for a few bars at a time anyway.

[@TylerVanHoomissen]

Wow

[@shaktipad1111]

Wows

[@mshirokitgw5313]

I also want to do this kind of thing.cool!!

[@AmericanAstroMonkey]

Colin is a modular synthesis who makes unique sounds the population can appreciate. Just as Bob Marley brought Reggae to a cypher punk music lover like me. Communication is the real art. Small steps towards a progressive development. One question......what is the eurorack case?

[@Spinnaker36]

Been a few weeks now @pyrofiliac. All three Modular on the Roof videos beg for more. Is it raining over there?

[@pyrofiliac]

Graham Kelly its chilly in new york in november!! but dont worry im editing the next one ;)

[@Spinnaker36]

Bundle up! Looking forward to the next installment. Brilliant stuff!

[@pyrofiliac]

Have you seen our latest two episodes? We are doing a sixth session this afternoon~! :)

[@Spinnaker36]

Watched every one of them, and I'm looking forward to the next session. Also really enjoying the Wandertalk jams. Won't be dropping my subscription any time soon. Seriously talented.

[@pyrofiliac]

episode 6 is up now!

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

The man from The Netherlands, who 'is' music.

[@montgomeryword7748]

wonder what case that is....

[@txoka1]

AKOJONANTE¡¡

[@LarsDanielTerkelsen]

I am just really puzzled about Colin’s ergonomic choice to leave such a huge gap between the big case and the small lower one. Quite mindboggling.

[@SebastianBeyer]

3.30 woow

[@motoboy6666]

Yes really cool, just wondering how he keep everything so harmonic and so in tune, a lot of quantizers?

[@pedalfiles4441]

A dozen really small people with really small hands are inside the unit.

[@Jurji]

Starts sounding like Sascha Funke - Mango at 10:00

[@justingoers]

Excellent. What are the 4 modules at the top?

[@DuncanFoster]

Looks like Macbeth X Series.

[@pokedeoxys]

Tan hahi con sus euriracksss

[@kuulajarkkoperse]

This video was recently removed from my playlist.

[@Hexachords]

how is that powered up?

[@3rdprsn]

Increds 4000

[@Canirow]

highly asmr inducing... #eargasm

[@chloestratton9666]

you know I wasn't paying attention to it but you're right, it is inducing some of that for me too. Good stuff.

[@jeffreyhalpern5718]

nice view to write stuff too cool sounds although at some point I think you're reporting medium distorts definitely keep putting out more segments

[@janhoracek6438]

wow.. beginning feels like blade runner soundtrack..

[@bio165]

how is he getting the chord progressions? midi?

[@MattiaPiola]

Noob question: how would you define this in terms of genre?

[@MattiaPiola]

Vic Tim ok, but electronic music is incredibly vast... how can I find music like this?

[@vvtt8151]

try Boards Of Canada.

[@monkcat6235]

Those felt laps need a bit of heat gun on them

[@maaththecreator]

what if it starts raining?

[@Suba932]

:ooooo

[@SebastianBeyer]

...

[@adriano_sp]

12U 104 HP?

[@fritagogo1]

;-)))

[@user-ed5ix1sw6i]

what's the width of that case?

[@brianmurphy5036]

4 MacBeth dual VCOs wide. 42hp each. 168hp total.

[@user-ed5ix1sw6i]

thanks

[@sunchylde]

nice build up and cool setting... drums a bit too harsh for my taste but still really cool :-)!!
