Patch Notes: Grand River

[@toslinked]

beautiful. I wonder how she enters/ leaves that place.

[@djktana]

Dope, it's very hard to build "your own sound" in the ambient / downtempo field, because its cross genre and a lot of awesome artists did their own stuff since the 70", and she does her own thing without "showcasing" for the "movement behind the machines"(its sometimes what live set artists tends to do... overmore when it's filmed and when the "instagram and short videos" things are changing the perceptions of crafting live sets videos...) .Here the manipulations are for music purpose and not "camera oriented" purpose. A very cool mix between different technical ways at the service of music. Very nice to discover her work.

[@Sk8erMorris]

I totally get you. I think this too. If it wasn't for the socials and modular posts I wouldn't find myself listening to many peoples works. Makes me think if Modular would be the same or where it's at without the socials Because in House Music and the like, producers use DAWs (in the box) methods they don't really show you what the equipment looked like but rather one just turns on Spotify or Soundcloud or Radio even - and presses play and bingo - Music! (no "Oh look at my new Buchla and how I'm using it to make this social media post that won't ever really see a release in the music platforms"

[@djktana]

@@Sk8erMorris in a way it could be like a "fun" thing , because modular is also a good way of self enjoyment literally "to play with", like a kind of experimentation that won't necessarily be ending on a real minded peace of music, and it's also true that in a way there is a kind of "modular, or a watch my gears movement " which is amplified by social media and especially instagram / youtube. It's for some people or artists a way to show the capacity of those "new gears" independently of a """real""" (and we can discuss of what it is nowdays) piece of music. , it's some kind of "free promotion videos" that will attract two kinds of people: the listener that will enjoy it for itself, and the client / music producer that will simp for the gears while surfing on reverb to watch the Bstock price. (iam the number two here haha) [Or also the beatmaker that will sample the gear, bounce it in directwave and uses it on his next "Bangerbuchlaeasle244.FLP" track] :)

[@Sk8erMorris]

@@djktana Oh I here you brother. I produce music in the box whenever I want to release something serious or just have fun or practice learning software. I also jam tf out with electronics just to perform to my self my own concert and to learn Synthesis and to see what I can come up with just using analog or digital hardware and no computer like in the above video. (All for fun too!) So you see. I'm only observing here and agreeing with you off rip and just wanted to give my 2 cents b. It's just concerning to me because as an artist we musn't play the instrument, we must play the music. And Modular world here on socials does quite the opposite. (Why not just post up the sound track with an album cover - even if someone used their whole modular rig or in the box or both)

[@kuken72]

@@Sk8erMorris The same thing could be said about any instrument really. There's lots of instagrams videos (and rock concerts) of people just playing with impeccable technique on the guitar with no appreciation or understanding of what music is really about. Lot's of people just buy these synths to nerd around with them and become virtuosos in a way, just not in music.

[@rdean150]

@@Sk8erMorris I think it's partly a matter of attention span and market saturation. The visual aspect of showing people how the sound is bring created in real-time keeps people interested and listening. It's also much more difficult to do it all in realtime and have it all work out properly and sound good, so it's sort if a different appreciation than hearing a perfectly produced in-the-box track. It's the same principle as why people like to going see bands play live instead of just sitting at home and listening to their album. And if you're watching them do it in realtime, hardware is just more entertaining than software, and live synthesis or live-looping manually played instruments are both more challenging than triggering pre-recorded samples. So in those aspects, appreciation of the skill level required sometimes can be a bigger attraction than the subjective quality of the final result. Like, I'd be more impressed by a human pedaling a bicycle 50 mph than that person driving a sports car 100 mph.

[@keykiyox]

Look ma, no computer! A bit of envy. Graceful as her appearance, and very skillful. kudos...

[@neuzethmusic131]

Wonderful performance! The composition "floats" so well, all instruments and sounds merge brilliantly... very organic. Inspiring! An that Easel! My dream synth...

[@ubahnrider1337]

can anyone tell me what kind of thing is hanging on her wall? with the lights moving around. i wonder if you can program it yourself, maybe with maxmsp?

[@wouterjesse]

I was wondering the same thing. It blends so nice in that studio.

[@joushkin4359]

its so cool!

[@CzechNeight]

I've returned to this video twice hoping someone will identify it. I really don't know how it even gets that effect in such a compact package.

[@youngsadsatan]

This channel is my favorite when it comes to synthesizers, in fact is the only one that features artists creating/composing your own sounds in practice. ❤️️️ 🇧🇷

[@fotszyrzk79]

How the hell this piano loop, recorded and looped manualy hold a sync with the rest? Is these Boss pedals midi synced?

[@FairuzOsman]

Looks like it’s looped with the Octatrack

Ah yes, the windows of Berlin. Marvelous performance, loved it.

[@Backinthedase]

This just blew away everything i've been listening to this month...

[@eleanorzissou]

Beautiful work. Totally off topic: Does anybody know where I can find this round lamp displaying moving stars, that's hanging on the right above the piano? Thanks!

[@discordis7663]

I was wondering the same thing. Were you ever able to discover it?

[@seanrimada8571]

Automations on the arp with insane scapes. What an ending!

[@nkozi]

Wow, that turnaround at about 3:30 was stunning!

[@Robert-kx8mp]

very inspirational composition, but I had a funny thought halfway, the neighbors are like “they’re so quiet we never hear them play more than few notes on the piano”

[@dannyhood7433]

It's amazing how long they stay in same key with 3 notes which should make a Basic chord .

[@ivychalice]

I‘ve been watching this session many times now… it‘s soo hypnotizing and inspiring. Thank you🖤

[@iansiamusic]

How does she get into the circle of gear? Does she have to crawl?

[@buchanannny]

Start to finish, this is a stellar set. Thank you

[@joshn8580]

I enjoy the complexity of this. A lot of times all analog setups can sound super dry and amateurish but I think she does a good job of transcending the "loop."

[@e.m.b2834]

I find that digital setups usually are just polishing turds.. I find analog wArmer and more musical and you can’t hide behind all the digital tricks.. remember most music up to the early 80s was analog based like this...

[@admirkorjenic8739]

Wow, fantastic work. Great studio. Keep it up!

[@elyot4010]

Love the ambience of the space. I'd have to cover everything since I get so much dust. Sorry, thinking out loud. The music is great. My question is: what is she using to loop everything?

[@janmanreyskiy7949]

Good question. I need to know it too

[@tobi8829]

I think its Boss RC1

[@pyril]

it's not the rc-1, you can see that on the knob. probably rc2 or any of the later models

🔥🔊AMAZING🔊🔥

[@VIDDTHEDESIGNER]

the real question is did she crawl under her desk to get there.

[@MRTM-kl5dd]

perhaps that's the real question for you

[@vprice509]

As is tradition among ambient composers, she entered the space through a hole in the ceiling. She climbed down a thick hemp rope, which was then retracted by Brain Eno. After her performance she simply rings a tiny silver bell to summon Brian.

[@skroll71]

My guess: phasing based on the quantisation of one of the oscillators. To make music like this, you have to be otherworldly! Brilliant piece.

[@SoundsGoodSound]

Fantastic performance! Really inspiring space! The placement of the sounds is also really nice:)
