One Synth One Song - Model:Cycles *Live Performance*

Hello. Here's a performance of one of my new songs with the Model:Cycles only. It's a rad synth with a fun and surprisingly versatile sound. Planning on making a full set, based on my Ringtone album. Peace everyone!

"Let's shake hands, fist bump, everything" I love this guy.

[@5amJones69]

Yeah I really appreciated that. I'm not too great these days in particular but cuckoo does his fucking best to just keep it goddamn real and pleasant.

[@jeffevansmusic]

What I really like about this is how someone with some really interesting musical ideas can create something that sounds far more interesting with just one tiny little unit like this compared to others who have got 50 vintage synthesisers in their studio worth a fortune and yet all they can come up with is rubbish. Ideas reign supreme!

[@truecuckoo]

🙏🏼

[@lametripper]

so true!

[@justinreilly3107]

Yes! Exactly!

[@inkajoo]

The tools matter too. M:C is a unique creative space with just enough power to actually make a song. Syntakt takes obvious inspiration not just with the sound engine but its plethora of tracks. M:C is better because it is much quicker, the UX is very different.

[@PrimitiveInTheExtreme]

Long time no see! Welcome back! Great live performance as always! Your melodies and rhythms are always unique! Ciao 😎 p.s.: playing our music: it's the only thing that keeps me going during this strange period in history.

[@bjamiork]

NOBODY sounds like Cuckoo. It would be rather difficult to try emulating him! Sooo unique and whimsical :)

[@RyanKennedyF2M]

This ringtone was my calendar alert for appointments and my flatmates always thought it sounded like a scene change in a cop drama

[@raysubject]

Most interesting music i ever heard from single one Model:Cycles instance .. you really pushed the device way behnd it's usual borders .. amazing job !

[@mrgum6y]

Everybody hammering new videos with VS visual synth; Cuckoo “I have a new wooden table”! Nice to see you back madlad, and thanks for the new 2021 ringtone.

[@timeconsumer325]

Dude you sound like YOURSELF on EVERYTHING. So great. Happy to see you back!

[@FreeBeat]

You are a wizard!

[@s-CRY-ed]

I love how much you love what you’re doing. Keep on man, this was fantastic.

[@truecuckoo]

❤️

[@DeeJay003]

Really liked this one, brother. Groovy, melodic and interesting. Well played 👍👍👍

[@truecuckoo]

Thank you so much DJEM!

[@uhldev]

Its so weird because these have been my ringtones for about 2 years or whatever when I bought them and hearing them makes me want to get up for work.

[@truecuckoo]

Haha 👊🏼

[@edjefferson9175]

If I didn’t know beforehand I would have recognized your style instantly when the groove started. That is amazing you have a “voice” on an instrument so computerized, quantized and digital. It’s like Eddie Van Halen or Jimi Hendrix could pick up ANY guitar and you would know who it is.

[@xeppepochannel]

Who needs psycho therapy when you have this kind of videos? Thank you, dear Cuckoo

[@pianobryguy]

I’m a fan of everything you create - but this one was particularly out of this world!

[@freddegeus5484]

I like the way you bleep and bloop!

[@erickuentz1388]

Cuckoo just might be the Bob Ross of synths

[@jerem680]

Cuckoo you are a true talented, inspirational musician. Please never stop making live performances like this one !!! Thank you

[@stephenmcgarrigle229]

This is the perfect way to start a Friday

[@RottenMechGaming]

A very sweet bit of Console Norge playing there. Excellent vibe! :)

[@rygelxv]

Seriously, this was my mood lifter today. This joy of performing is contagious! Thanks, Cuckoo!

[@Cambaudio]

This song is so sick! My favorite song youve done so far. Your energy, performance and handshake, everything. Great, great stuff man

[@EverythingPlants]

Love love love the start of the song. I was smiling the whole time....love your energy my friend!

[@magicknight8412]

I use this one as my timer alarm, so you playing it made me think my dinner was done!

[@alexmeeres5072]

What a fun and inspiring performance! Thanks for creating it, and showing off what this cool little synth can do.

[@Cyloonian]

It gave me a big smile watching you smile and get into it! I got the same moves and shaky fingers when I play too! Keep being awesome you!

[@barrypike4498]

Amazing work! You have really plumbed the depths of this instrument. I need to dive deeper into mine. Very inspiring.

[@Puckrocker]

Thanks for the strong dose of positivity, bro! Really fun tune. It’s great to watch you get so amped up on your track. Always makes me wanna pull out the gear and make something myself.

[@banksiaspinulosa7442]

Cuckoo you always bring a smile to my dial. Thank you for sharing your energy and your skill. Wohooo

[@grooveduststudio]

you always bring the creative force whenever i watch your vids - thanks for the inspo

[@erlinghauge4362]

Utrolig inspirerende - takk! Det første jeg vil gjøre nå er å børste støv av M:S'en og sette i gang, alt takket være din energi, musikalitet og improvisasjonsevne (og din fantastiske tutorial i M:S som var gull verdt). Du er rå! Keep it up!

[@Leviathan894]

Every aspect of this was enjoyable. You have such a unique sound and style that makes me want to head bop right there with you. Awesome job, seriously a pleasure to listen to.

[@Iain2000]

This is tremendous! Your skill on this is amazing. Can’t wait to hear more. Peace 🙏🏼

[@grandmasterjo1]

Too many missed you, Cucks so good to see you. Awaiting to see you decipher the Wavestate again Thank you as always 👍

[@alanbouet-willaumez1390]

Songlad to see you back around ! Tres heureux que tu te portes bien et que tu nous balances encore toute la musique et la délicatesse que tu peux faire !

[@svartsjokolade]

Nice, welcome back Cuckoo! It's great to hear how no matter which piece of hear you use it just sounds like...you! Looking forward to seeing the studio evolve.

[@andrewsmith8762]

Great to see you back looking bright and upbeat! And what amazing sounds and arrangement you get out of the cycles!

[@foundatlantis]

haha this sounds rad. weird, fun and kooky. cycles is a great box for these bizarre sounds. folks hate on it but personally i love the FM weirdness.

[@dracul74]

Love the joy in how you perform…

[@truecuckoo]

❤️ Thank you!

[@Dan_Mahoney]

That was Awesome Cuckoo!!

[@kinnectar820]

Good fun! Welcome back Cuckoo!

[@croatoansounds]

Love it. Your energy brings an instant smile to my face. The song is killer too!

[@themnotyou]

Absolute MOOD. Love this so much! Keep it up Cuckoo!!

[@beanacomputer]

Cuckoo you're just so gosh darn wonderful and what a fun performance!

[@MissingNo99]

your vibes are immaculate.

[@alvaroplol]

Lovely, Cuckoo. Thanks for this!

[@LuisTorres-qz5kr]

GREAT to have you back on the channel! Best of wishes. Awesome groove, as always.

[@alanblight9233]

This is great Cuckoo , like really fun . Neat little device . Thanks .

[@thepatzer]

This was epic. Amazing and inspiring with modest equipment. Great vibes!!

[@Algorhythmic]

Love your music and reviews. You have a wonderful personality.

[@David-nu5cj]

Composition sounds great. The mix also sounds vibrant, clear and loud. Great stuff man!

[@scottharris7222]

Great performance and fun. Cycles is a ton of fun. I’ve had mine for a few days. Your samples tutorial helped me grasp the sequencer of cycles. Excellent work.

[@csremote]

how adorable you are! It's really amazing that you transport your incredible, special energy through what you do and how you present it, full of honest enthusiasm. I'm lost for words. I'm happy that you do what you do and you are who you are and don't hide when you're full of emotion. Thank you!

[@strudelkopf]

What an awesome and inspiring performance! Thank you!

[@distractionpool]

I would set this as my morning alarm.

[@ghxvls]

love the song and the performance cuckoo! glad to see you able to perform and have a good time doing it in the new space. i’ve dived deeper and deeper into synths throughout this year since i discovered them, and your videos have been not only a huge inspiration to be creative but also extremely informative for me as a synth noob trying to find my voice and performance style. 🙌🏻

[@lametripper]

yeah, same here!

[@MattiasHolmgren]

Lively and groovy vibes as always Cuckoo. Love the retro game vibes in this jam! Excellent start on the weekend! Have a nice one! ☀️

[@digitaldobbie]

Cuckoo it’s so good to see you again!

[@patton72010]

Cuckoo, good to see you back. Never forget that you are bringing joy to people with your awesome music and personality..

[@milorumori]

Brilliant, sounds amazing❤

[@ht8764]

Your vibe is so wholesome☺ Been watching this channel for almost a year when I first got the model:cycles. Since then I've acquired more gear but I hear jams like this and it inspires me to focus on using just the cycles. Big ups broh from ATL

[@team_rex]

A truck outside my apartment honked just at the end of the first bar and it synced up perfectly! Thank you for sharing Cuckoo, and so cool to see how hyped you got with such an excellent performance 🥰

[@ed8x]

it's good to see you back. I have missed your style and insight into music production

[@thx1138abc1]

Fantastic Cuckoo. Loved that. Thanks for being you! 🌼

[@IhorMedia]

Amazing performance Cuckoo! ❤️ Much love to you!

[@OrangeDrinkMusic]

awesome as usual! love the cycles and YOU!

[@ricardleandro]

You’re a genuine inspiration. So cool!

[@raskarkapax]

You always manage to use the full potential of every piece of gear and at the same time everything you touch sounds and feels like Cuckoo

[@truecuckoo]

Thanks! I really enjoy performing one one device at a time, and do the most out of it!

[@SergioCamachoRico]

Great to see you again cuckoo!

[@willswitchcraft]

I'm doing AWESOME! (thanks for asking) We live in a remote area of Canada, still doing dance parties and jam sessions, and spending lots of time out in the garden, and very little listening to the drama online and in the media.......Always a pleasure to hear what you're doing.......ALWAYS AS KILLER GROOVE - inspiring and full of playful noises.. ... I love that you always have an upbeat, optimistic outlook, and I think that, and your groovy tracks, as just the medicine we all need to keep our spirits strong - Covid - if we handle it right, it's a great time for feeling Gratitude (for the people and positive stimulus in our lives), and a great time to explore our creativity...........PS ...You're a Nut, of the very best variety....Love your stuff.....

[@oriagami6436]

Cuckoo just FEELS the music through his whole body in a way you just dont see in other performers. keep on being you, love you buddy ❤

[@KramerPacer2]

So relatable, sitting alone in your room at the desk and bounce to pushing some buttons. love it!

[@trumjohannsmancave]

So much joy here, my friend!😊👍

[@Old_Man_Jay]

Love watching you rock out to your music, cuckoo! Great track by the way. It really reminds me that making beats should be fun and shouldn’t always be about making serious tracks. Ive recently fallen into a creative rut because I sometimes take my music making too seriously and forget to just let loose and enjoy it. You are such an inspiration.

[@Marquinhos1901]

Wow love this bro! Could totally see this being played at a club or party! Ty for helping me figure out the digitakt. It brings me so much joy.

[@flamehairdisaster1]

Sir, you are a refreshing sight and sound. Love your positivity and love for the world. Keep on being an inspiration.

[@tapsy]

Welcome back!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@JESchomb]

just got mine the other day :) loving it so far

[@lametripper]

never forget - not only a great teacher, also a supercreative fabulous musician in front of us!

[@ambientzoneofficial]

One man, great show! 🤟🏾 - it’s music that keeps us sane, nothing else -

[@s-now]

You know what I like of this video? The fact thar Cuckoo is having so much fun. It’s pure joy. Enjoyable !! The song is good too 😀😀

[@SchubertDipDab]

This is great, really enjoyed that!

[@PhaktTheIsolationist]

Good to have Cuckoo back. What a legend.

[@BillytheSquid]

This is awesome Cuckoo!

[@jamielong5877]

I'm good mate! Was good seeing you really enjoying that one! Welcome back 👍🍻

[@Strages_Powers]

That Beautiful cuckoo sound! Congratulations on the new space Re, looking forward to all your new output!

[@swanebrokendeep]

I love you Cuckoo! You are so free to express yourself! It's good to see you again! Nice track I like the bounce feel and the sounds! :))

[@domr4879]

Nice to see you too :)

[@supremeciroc]

I’m like.. speechless. Yes!

[@peterjones4732]

Absolutely Awesome! Very Inspiring indeed!!!!

[@stujay]

He's back! It's been awhile! Hope all is well, Cuckoo. Great to have another awesome video

[@stonedapesociety5628]

Wow! Awesome as always! I'm about to get one too

[@TheAutoKite]

Nice to see you again Cuckoo! Great Jam! Love to see some Cuckoo animation to go with this!

[@truecuckoo]

Thanks! Yeah, this white wall is screaming for animation and visuals! I might paint it though.

[@zachstarr2543]

This is awesome man. Love my cycles. I think maybe the best product they’ve released yet for dollar/fun ratio

[@yvesbouillet1290]

Such a great pleasure to see you back : you made my day with your fresh and joyfull creation :=)

[@rorylee9626]

pure good vibes

[@DavidHelplingOfficial]

Great timing and a great piece! Thanks for keeping us all (mostly) sane and inspired :^)

[@truecuckoo]

❤️

[@aytchess]

True Cuckoo. If you made a melody with that cup and a spoon, it would sound you. Amazing. But the vibe here hits me in the visceral. Has to do with living the 80s/early 90s when everything sounded FM like. I played your previous ring tone video over and over and I want and need to thank you for this.
