[@dantelino7020]

19:24 my favorite! Best music for a work-out.

[@Nekrozys]

I just went to a Perturbator concert and have since been declared legally blind.

[@nikoorion2570]

The transition at 19:02 is flawless

[@Vincerocks]

Faudrait tellement qu'on ait un SynthFest avec Pertubator, Carpenter Brut, Dance with the dead, Mitch Murder, Daniel Deluxe, Gost, Satellite Young, etc

[@TommySem]

Haha ce serait dément

[@guillaumeroussel4845]

Tu devrais essayer The Algorithm je pense

[@OreriyoSan]

+ street cleaner, dynatron, power glove, mega drive :)

[@Orvusigma]

An amazing show.. I didn't know him and it was an awesome discovery for me ! Perfect to end the festival ;)

[@TommySem]

Thank you Orcvusigma, i hope to see you soon !

[@Kotakai]

The light work is fantastic some of the best I’ve seen.

[@TommySem]

thank you !

[@CashTheRealest]

The lights are incredible. The top pentagrams are sick bro.Cant wait to see you live

[@TommySem]

Thanks man, see you soon !

[@UberKvlt]

Lights are fuckin sick, please come to my house in December to program my Christmas lights?

[@TommySem]

Haha shit i just see you comment :D

[@snydder1771]

So much for a studio version of these, so energetic

[@mauriciofernandez7335]

Who wants to go to a disco when you can see Perturbator?

[@gregmccauley1687]

Hey Thommy, I was at his show in Denver and it was the greatest piece of visual and musical art I've ever seen. It was at a place that usually has metal bands on. As soon as he came on with the lights every employee in that place just started staring up there like wtf is going on? Do I like this? Then they all started filming it, no one ordered any drinks and everyone was entranced for an hour. So fucking awesome dude, got 2 vinyls signed as well, your light show is magic. Thanks!

[@TommySem]

Hahahaha Denver was really fun, the House crew was super nice. Thank you man, I do my best, try to give people feelings thru the light. We'll be back on tour this year with a new scenography. I hope you guys will enjoy the new one better than this one :D

[@marianamessmer9360]

Amazing setlist, I hope to see him one day in Argentina

[@smark667]

you know when metalheads are enjoying themselves when you see them throwing horns :)

[@ironwolfosiris]

I see a lot of metalheads and punks at synthwave shows. I know many goths and rivetheads who enjoy the music too. A lot of common ground to be found :)

[@morbidbird8085]

why are we, metals and punx can not love good music, man?)))

[@ragingbull5883]

THAT IS LITERALLY WHAT THE COMMENT IS SAYING.

[@TommySem]

haha that's true !

[@brucebleu]

can only add to all the compliments: amazing light show!

[@-NeonLizard-]

Mental! How did they go down with the Metal crowd? Don't know many metallers that like Dark Synth/Synthwave which is a shame 'cause their music is fucking heavy and dark.

[@beyondtheradio]

One of the best parts of this fest. Glad we saw ya'll. We came all the way from US to Hellfest but then missed Perturbator when he came to the US recently because I had to work. haha

[@TommySem]

Thank you man, well Hellfest was a really good gig for us, and we loved it ! We will be back on tour soon this year with a new scenography !

[@TheDemonOfLife666]

Am I the only one who hears the crackling sound throughout the video? Amazing video nonetheless!

[@TommySem]

This video was filmed with an samsung A5, so that why the sounds is crackling.

[@TheDemonOfLife666]

Ah ok, gotcha. Thanks man

[@Kommentaraccount]

Yes you are. Consult a doctor.

[@Alleycat___]

@@Kommentaraccount my doctor said my earbuds were so kaputt

[@madelinecashmore3515]

i thought my headphones were on the blink!!

[@buxcorp]

I keep coming back to watch this video.. The lighting is by far the best I have ever seen for a live show. Hope you are doing well Tommy, The current situation must be disastrous to your industry at the moment.. Hopefully it will get back to normal soon.

[@PatrickAlbright]

Fantastic light work!! Very impressive.

[@TommySem]

Thank you man, hope you will enjoy the new one in few month !

[@liver-chan7083]

The light work is mesmerising and fitting perfectly the show. It's as if I was there ! (And hearing the satured sound makes the show feel alive, thanks for sharing this little gem!)

[@TommySem]

Thank you man, i apreciate !

[@lorolaidragonfly828]

amazing light show ! good job buddy

[@TommySem]

thank you lorolai

[@cerulean--]

Was at the Melbourne show on the 21st and it was by far, the best lighting show I'd ever seen. Thank you, Thommy Sem!

[@TommySem]

Thank you Sinisha Arsovski !! I hope you enjoyed it, New light set up is comming in few month for Perturbator

[@err0rc0degames]

I would have loved to see it live. Awesome!

[@VideosDebilesDunotDimension]

Punaise heureusement que t'étais là pour garder une trace vidéo de ce live, c'était honnêtement le meilleur show light que j'ai pu voir dans ma vie avec God Is An Astronaut au Motoc dernier. Chapeau !

[@TommySem]

Merci mec, ouai j'ai passé un peu de temps a prog tous ca, je me suis dit qu'il fallait que je le film :)

[@baabeuf]

Was stunned by the lightshow during the set. Awesome job .

[@TommySem]

thank you Baabeuf ! i will post a new vidéo today, stay tuned !

[@e1paco]

Saw him last night in Toronto.. IT was unreal and such a great time

[@TommySem]

Thank you dude, hope you liked the show !

[@guldukat6749]

Came for Perturbator, stayed for Perturbator and the sweet light show.

[@Acidpix]

J'y etais ! et franchement un des plus beau light set que j'ai jamais vue ! chapeaux !

[@TommySem]

Merci, ton commentaire me va droit au cœur ;), N'hésite pas a passer me voir a la régie la prochaine fois !

[@clementmassonnie]

Your work on the Lights are just unbelievable ! Great music great Lights great live

[@S3rrgiio]

This is freakin awesome. Amazing light work. Congratulations guys!

[@TommySem]

thank you Sergio !

[@lonelystage6139]

Thanks from bring us this .

[@TommySem]

Thank to you to take time to watch this video !

[@danielhance1467]

I don't understand why these guys and others aren't doing the electric daisy carnival. modern dub step and other electronic acts are all melding these sounds together, or at the very least performing together. if you want to see a light show look at footage from bassnectar, or seven lions. this deserves to be on a stage like.

[@resnoname2411]

The King of the dark side of Synth

[@Bee_24]

This is so SICK! I'm feeling that synthwave should stay in clubs, because in my mind it can't be so big to live up to festivals or super large arenas. Today, after seeing this lighshow, I changed my mind! Thank you and great work sir!

[@Bee_24]

From synthwave scene I've only seen Carpenter Brut and I think it was super amazing, but I don't think that would work for example at Hellfest. This Perturbator's show does!

[@TommySem]

Thank you Bee I hope to see you on future shows

[@7g6f5e4d3c2b1a]

I've seen Pertrubator once and his live show is FUCKING AWESOME!!!

[@vincent59500douai]

it was amazing ; i was ! c etait enorme ! et culotté de venir a la fête de l enfer !

[@ragingbull5883]

22:40 You thought it was overs? YOU THOUGHT WRONG!

[@MortAuPat]

I was there, so amazing

[@TommySem]

Patrick Moreau thank you !

[@AcDcAddict1993]

Damn, i remember watching him at HF 2017! Cant wait to see him again at Wacken 2020!

[@steftherammsteiner8893]

Your probably still waiting huh

[@AltarOfMadness]

This is amazing !! I really loved how the lights were helping the music... I felt like I was seeing some satanic rites inside of a unhonly cathedral, with a guy who was casting a spell to summon a terrible demon made of light and music !! You made a story with lights and music. You're incredible ! I really love Perturbator's music and you gave it a new atmosphere ! (sorry if I made mistakes, english isn't my first language)

[@TommySem]

Thank you dude, you totally right, i try to make a story with lights, well it's really abstract, but if you can feel it, it means that i did my job great. Thank you again for you comment, and subscribe if you want to see more videos !

[@pagb666]

That lighwork is sick!

[@mironsaveliev7982]

Wow. It's awesome

[@ThaDevice]

if this was the 80's/90's everyone in that crowd would be dancing. People don't seem to do that anymore lol. Awesome set. At least they're having a good time :P

[@seasoul2007]

Awesome! Thank you for this work.

[@TommySem]

Thank you !!! I do my best, hope you gonna love the next Light show

[@TommySem]

[@neto1314]

[@septic357]

Thank you, because I was ahead, and i thinking How it was behind :) With which microphone did you record? Because the sound is good: o

[@TommySem]

[@patrickbaitman8336]

Better live now with the live drums!

[@user-sf2pr4un2n]

Это прекрасно

[@Lephro]

The lightwork is really exceptionally good. Will you be responsible for the light design on Pertubators gig on Summerbreeze ? If so, i'am look excitingly forward to it. This would / will be awesome.

[@TommySem]

Yes i will be there !

[@jean-patrickmorizur4979]

Will it be possible to have the full show? Great work.

[@TommySem]

Sorry Jean, Unfortunatly, i didn"t film the end of the show, my phone just stop after 25 min of set.

[@eugenepanichkin9940]

[@mnordavind]

[@David-jo7fb]

[@TommySem]

1h maybe

[@abysslucy]

putain

[@Blutroth]

[@PlugThePull]

Sexualizer

[@leandropaz6127]

Good músic and shit públic ever

[@TommySem]

Haha well it was faaaar away at the back so people at the back don't really move

[@neonproxy3837]

No terror 404? :((((

[@bensaproblemforyou8076]

Are you gonna work with GosT?

[@TommySem]

Well we never talk about that :) where did you heard that ?

[@bensaproblemforyou8076]

Thommy Sem GosT is a homie of mine. He is the one that brought me to Pertubator, Carpenter Brut, etc. Us being in Texas, I was one of very few that loved this music from the start. It would seem that you might possibly work with him as well. Your work is phenomenal and proper as fuck. Much like Fortifem. I would love to see GosT get a proper presentation also. It damn sure opens this music up to more converts. Again, your work is mesmerizing and next level. Cheers!

[@TommySem]

Thank you dude, well I spend a lot of time to program and imagine the Perturbator's light show. We touring a lot, I will love to work with GosT, it's good and funny guy, i've been touring with him, and it was really cool to meet him. But you know, there is so many thing to do before. i'm talking about how and what is he using to play his music, because we need to synchronise my desk for the tempo and some light. We need to buy a lot of stuff to make everything happen, and of course it's a lot of work and when i'm touring i bring with me expensive desk. So everyday i'm a bit expensive even if i do some friendly price. The distance is a problem too, plane cost a lot of money. It's always about money and time anyway, that's sad but our world is like this. :)

[@Andy1899]

the audio is ...terrible

[@Rucky888]

I love the music, but don't think it is enough to carry a live show. Great lighting

[@TommySem]

Hello, what do you mean by "enough to carry a live show" ? :)

[@Rucky888]

Music was good, lighting was of high quality, but for all anyone in the audience knew it was a mannequin on stage standing behind an ipod plugged into the amp. It appears that 2000 people were looking at a stage which had 20 guys shining torches at them.Was it sold as a light and sound show, or Pertubator live? I think you could replace the sound with any dark synth and you'd be delivering as good a show. I also think in 5 years you'll be leap years ahead of this. Granted you need a big budget to deliver that.

[@Rucky888]

By this I don't mean to say I am sure it wasn't an exceptional experience, just two dimensional. It was mostly the same thing for 25 minutes. was there a reason you didn't take the lighting left or right, or behind? I think you can probably ditch the musician and do your own show better. As I ask, what do you think the audience was there for, the music, the lights, or the visual aural experience?

[@yooka333]

The audience was here for Perturbator's music. The lights and visual aural experience were a huge plus. It's EDM, of course he presses buttons.

[@motfcu]

Well to reassure you, lots of synthwaves DJs actually play synthetizers during their lives. I think at 21:14 he's actually playing the solo. But yeah of course some parts are just played.

Dead public

Толпа дохлая! Даже как то стыдно(
