Studio Digest: A Look Inside Leon Vynehall's Creative Sanctuary

[@vynehall]

Seen in the comments there is some confusion about the editing when I speak about the Prophet 6 and Prophet X. To clarify - from 1:10 it's the PX I'm on about. And yes, I said 'spontinuity' instead of 'spontaneity' - was a long day...

[@vynehall]

Also, I wasn't saying my pedals were cheap or shit, I meant that pedals in general, including cheap and shit ones, are great (and fun) for running sound through.

[@dolevamitai1301]

Why are you apologizing mate, your sound is amazing (and you came out very clear!)

[@NineInchFailz]

The legend himself clarified for the musician community. What a guy

[@KozKaii]

Still to this date, Leon is a huge inspiration for me with his dancefloor and ambient works. Especially with Nothing is Still LP. Mad respect for this guy

[@kladdha_]

One of the finest artists in the world today. A creative gem.

[@heftexperience]

Speaking of history, I have a huge connection with Nothing Is Still record. My grandma died in Covid and I was really sad and all these days, I woke up and put on my shoes to go jogging around my neighbourhood with Nothing Is Still on my headphone. There's literally nobody on the street and it elevates the music experience into a next level. Very surreal. If you are reading this, Leon, thank you so much for your record. Your music healed me completely during the Covid time. Take care, my friend.

[@LorisRavera]

I used to go walking for a couple of hours and listen to Music for the Uninvited on loop for similar reasons years ago and I still cherish those memories

[@AcidJames303]

Leon Vynehall has been one of my most listened-to artists throughout my life and I'm so happy he has been my life soundtrack, can not wait for more soudwaves!

[@jamieconley4913]

Leon Vynehall is a genius incredibly talented musicians who is one of my favourites of all time!!

[@jorisvoorndj]

What I love the most about this tour is his explanation of comfort in his studio :)

[@saardean4481]

Cool artist and person. The rhyme was a nice addition „you can have all the gear but no idea“ . How true

[@oldmanthompson]

paid off his parents debts - what a hero ❤

[@i2pjd6hRw5P]

Leon Vynehall is in my top 3 artists of all time, really cool to see his creative space

[@talltrini10]

I listen to Movements (Chapter III) religiously. It fits with whatever mood I happen to be in, no matter what time of day or night

[@boroclan]

Butterflies is one of my Top 20 all time pieces. Big fan!

[@cataspiebeats1660]

The groove of that woodblock rhythm gets my head bobbing every time :D

[@JCAlder]

Gotta love this guy. Down to earth, passionate, knowledgeable, relatable, and extremely talented obviously

[@kuramarecords]

Are off he’s 🍆?

[@CG-hj1cu]

Man is a legit genius and true original.

[@BangybangTV]

Looks like a really nice guy.. i understand why i'm feeling close to his music.

[@Msendy101]

One of my favorite Deep/Dub Techno producers!!! Thank you RA!!!

[@Good_Cool]

THANK YOU FOR THIS ❤❤❤❤

[@DJRobmak]

Lovely set up. It comes thru in his sound. One of the the best DJ sets I ever heard was him in Brooklyn few years back.

[@shinebabyshine.]

Man I love his music. So meditative yet hard hitting

[@AndrewPRoberts]

1:44 I love this philosophy when it comes to art, sometimes my favorite sounds come from literal toys that I found at the dollar store

[@fabiancortes6255]

Such a fun video ,thanks for sharing.

[@S_b_m_6]

Jesus crist, been waiting for this years!

[@notsooobad7]

love leon vynehall, brother and butterflies are amazing tracks

[@paxson2000]

Spontinuity is a cool new vocab word. Spontaneous Continuity

[@gakhed]

what a great space! very inspiring

[@h44k995]

"comfortable enough to feel vulnerable" wow

[@zharevo]

if more studios had that living room feeling we all would be in different place as an industry

[@cieuxnoirs]

I remember an old video of him still having long hair and making music in a typical bedroom studio, he went a loooong way since then, both as an artist, and as an owner of equipment. A real artist with a great taste for anything really, I might say :D even his book was pretty awesome. (but he didn't answer my email about that book, and that was sad! lol)

[@artsolomon202]

Good explanation how he feels about having a studio, and making music. i can acknowledge! great video!

[@SanRemoMotelBar]

What a studio. Very fortunate to have seen him live multiple times and fleetingly met him in Belgium. Nothing is Still, may be one of my favourite albums of all time. So creative, love it.

[@1BorisRoss]

Great and so down to earth artist with a lot of knowledge and passion ! Super inspiring.

[@turdington23]

Saw this guy dj at hidden in mcr a good few years ago , amazing set set . Proper build up and journey like djs used to do it

[@jaguarvssnake]

Great guy, cool space, wonderful music!

[@user82938]

Weirdly edited to make it sound like he's talking about the Prophet 6 having the samples of piano, etc, when he's actually talking about the Prophet X there.

[@lukerobinson2224]

yeah! that was weird

[@KipalAnuragi-es1sl]

​

[@adammercysystem6450]

amazing person and producer

[@ancestralvision]

I like how he talks about pedals being often cheap option for processing sound while having only the front part of the pedalboard at cost of like 2000+ euro :)) (don‘t get me wrong, I love pedals and I totally agree with Leon, just for many people affordable pedals price tags starts quite lower imho)

[@a-love-supremist]

I need to check out more of his music, but "Midnight on Rainbow Road (Beat Edit)" is one of the most sublime tunes I've ever heard

[@SanRemoMotelBar]

Try listening to his album Nothing Is Still cover to cover without interruption. I promise you'll find it rewarding

[@imDezrt]

much better than trying to pick apart his studio rack on that one amoeba video. love this guy's sounds

[@SakiandCo]

Lotta love for Leon and Moxie too 💪

[@WillyJunior]

What a great space.

[@magnusholmes]

This guys album changed my life when I was like 15

[@MrFlyingguy]

ever since the fac mix years ago, this guys talent has not escaped me. Risky Business brother.

[@LongIslandSoundSOS]

Loved this

[@JackW-t4y]

Legend! Bicep next please RA

[@senssum2296]

Golden

[@jamies9083]

The Tom Elmhirst connection is great, those speakers must come with some magic.

[@audiomerge7335]

Great spaceship! 🚀 Thanks for showing our unit and the sound of the liquid switch 🔥🙏🏽

[@OOF_MUSIC]

Legend!

[@channelh6o7b]

Couldn’t find the third track in the description, Al Fonzo. Anyone know about that?

[@marcosyarza6324]

Me neither

[@alter_igel]

Also couldn't find it anywhere. Might be a preview of an upcoming release??

[@disxiple_113]

thank you for this ❤

[@rolandmdill]

Couldn't agree more with his last statement. Yes you should break the rules, but first of all you need to learn them so you even get an idea what rules you could break.

[@streamlight1]

legend

[@johnpaullovetek1809]

Leon o teu amor e entrega à música são inspiradoras!

[@johngoldsworthy7135]

Legend

[@user82938]

Description needs to be fixed. The first song is called "Movements (Chapter III)".

[@lolo8041]

No mention of the Arturia Polybrute under his ProphetX?

[@Italo_Brutalo]

Nice studio Leon! Really like the vintage fx units.

[@ryanmanning1185]

Talks about his pedalboard: “You can really garner a lot of really interesting results from really cheap pieces of shit” *shows a Chase Bliss CXM*

[@conduit-seoir]

Would love to know what books he has on those shelves

[@ferguswaveforms]

"I've become the custoidian" - When your mate lends you something and you never give it back 😂

[@quhp]

Did I will this into the world?? Thanks

[@hamishmacdonald8593]

Fucking hell he doesn’t cheap out

[@hamishmacdonald8593]

I mean, fair play he’s got a great sound. But damn!

[@federicocastriota2190]

no mixer tho; probably straight into sound card?

[@gazzi69]

this guy is so cool

[@yaroslaw.marcinkowski]

👏

[@pranavmarla]

Leon is a true minimal icon

[@RaquelFoster]

I like the tungsten vibe. But the editing is so erratic! 5:46 He's talking about the big knobs on the Shadow Hills Golden Age... then as he says "it looks amazing" we cut to the bottom of the rack. If you want to see it go back to 5:14.

[@nickdijcj1]

Hungry for curiosity? Great interview though fr

[@nickhyder9141]

Is spontinuity a word? 0:23

[@olliewheeler2719]

Shirt ID?

[@DerGrosseKrieger]

spontanuity

[@kosmikmusa]

6:21 What piano is this?

[@Reprobus3]

Spontinuity?

[@kuramarecords]

All that goodies and decide the use the UAD Apollo converters, damn

[@ScherzoMusic]

Hahaha “cheap pieces of shit” as he’s pointing to the Chase Bliss CXM verb pedal which is around £800 and the microcosm 😂 Love LV tho great music

[@asynchronicity]

The video is poorly edited to make it seem like you can have samples in a Prophet 6🤦‍♂️

[@nickdijcj1]

Man said spontenuity lol

[@magino_mmt]

good luck troll no one cares what you say

[@vampiresforesl]

Unless an artist actually gets into his or her creative process and HOW the gear is used, this is just gear pornography.

[@molunz4598]

There’s leg day, today was blouse day 😂

[@vampiresforesl]

Love his music, but come on now, leaving the shirt half unbuttoned to accidentally show off the tattoo is a bit much.

[@KXAH]

Wow..
