Runaway (Live) - // Guitar + Teenage Engineering OP-Z Synthesizer

[@StephenMcLeod]

Respect. I can barely play in perfect ambient temperature.

[@RDiefenbach]

Lol and thanks!

[@123norway]

Keep coming back to this one!

[@RDiefenbach]

Thanks a lot dude!

[@chipwillis]

Just looked at Reddit and saw a bunch of people talking shit about Teenage Engineering, and then this.... The Opzs ability to sequence other stuff is so amazing. Been experimenting with AUM and Ipad apps. Will probably give it a go with Ableton down the road as well. Thanks!

[@RDiefenbach]

Absolutely! I have some tuts already on the OP-Z with Ableton if interested but it has even more potential. It is so much easier to talk shit but some of us prefer to make the most of the tools we have and see how far we can push them!

[@SaEvSampleEverything]

This is so pleasing

[@Indanam]

Bro stop jamming in the snow you're making me cold! In all seriousness I love the creativity, keep it up!!

[@RDiefenbach]

Thank you! Just can not wait for winter to be over!

[@chipwillis]

revisiting, so good man!

[@RDiefenbach]

Thanks for coming back! Out of town for Easter and may not get to post new vids for a week or two but it gives me time to work on the EP :)

[@psychedericdreams]

That was sooo good!!!

[@RDiefenbach]

Thanks mate!

[@Ismanoises]

awesomeeeeeee !!!!!

[@RDiefenbach]

Thanks, Isma :D !

[@Solidahmed]

Beautiful song! Your costume set up is amazing. Also great cinematography. This is icy water fall is so cool.

[@RDiefenbach]

Thanks - I really love the frozen waterfall too! Definitely not something I see every day in my home country.

[@TristanBaldi]

Forgot to comment there! What a great track, congratulations. The guitar blends so nicely here!

[@RDiefenbach]

Thanks mate! Now I just need to fight the temptation to get an O-coast to add to it

[@Jebrald0]

Cool Jam Ryan! Both literally and figuratively :)

[@RDiefenbach]

Haha cheers mate 🧊

[@daisyroberts7401]

Great Video ❤

[@RDiefenbach]

Thanks, Daisy!!

[@jackoflynn1487]

had to sub for this

[@ili_ili_music3721]

Dude, it both sounds and looks great! Want to see more of it, subscribing ^^

[@RDiefenbach]

Awesome thanks :) More is always on the way!!

[@MilesKvndra]

Duuude this sounds so lovely, great jam! 😍 Impressed of all the instruments you bring outside, is this the same river you sat by in one of your summer videos?

[@RDiefenbach]

Thanks man! Can't believe I have not dropped or broken anything yet! And, yes this is actually the same river from most of them - just a short walk from my house! However, looks a bit different this time around. ☃️

[@MilesKvndra]

@@RDiefenbach absolutely! Can already see you this summer playing a whole mobile studio by the river haha

[@oscillatedreams]

amazing

[@RDiefenbach]

Thank you!! :)

[@stevecautious]

Amazing, don't know how you managed this but very impressed!

[@RDiefenbach]

Thanks mate!!

[@Maxgalax1]

Very cool stuff man! Impressed by both the music, and also by the courage to get yourself out in the snow with all the equipment! I recently moved back to Sweden and just the idea of jamming outside in the snow is getting me a cold 😅 Great job, both music and video 👏👌

[@RDiefenbach]

Thanks, Max. Well in Norwegian they say the doorstep is a thousand miles 😅 always hard to get motivated when it is this cold but maybe give it a try! If not there is always indoors haha. And thank you for the kind words :)

[@Maxgalax1]

@@RDiefenbach Oh, Norway - cool! Yeah here we also have the saying "there's no bad weather, only bad clothing", which is true I guess :) Definitely got inspired to bring a machine or two out for jam 😊🙌

[@StefanoMaimone]

great!!! how did you loop the guitar?

[@RDiefenbach]

I looped the guitar chords it in Ableton after the fact! Everything else is done in the moment

[@StefanoMaimone]

@@RDiefenbach thanks! I'm trying to figure out how to integrate the op-z into my set-up with electric bass and effects. congratulations again, I really like your videos!

[@123norway]

This is amazing! Spotify link soon?

[@RDiefenbach]

Cheers. May add it to the upcoming EP :) unsure whether to keep it instrumental or add some light vocals anjunadeep style

[@Orcaudio3]

This is beautiful! This video has brought some joy and hope to my day 💕. Also: Are u never worried about the snow getting your gear wet?

[@RDiefenbach]

Thank you! And yes :) I am constantly worried 😬

[@cyarron8196]

I love your setup. Great results, too. I'm a bassist who also has a pack of small synths wrangled by an OP-Z, and I'm wondering how you mounted your OP-Z to the guitar. The videography is also really lovely; I like that you record "out in the wild" so much.

[@RDiefenbach]

Thank you! I attached it to the Bigsby whammy bar with tape but am looking into a better, more detachable rig. Maybe some kind of elastic bands but takes time to experiment and do research. And thanks I feel I get 'in the zone' in the most when recording in nature and it helps me escape :)

[@melobit6137]

I would really like to try this as I play guitar and planning to get op-z so awesome. P.S do you need sound recorder to be able to hear guitar trough op-z?

[@RDiefenbach]

Hi! I am using two recordings here. One is the guitar into my sound recorder and the other is Ableton, sequenced by the OP-Z. If you want to run and hear your guitar through the OP-Z (and use FX) you will need an in/out device like an iRig or the one made by DigdugDIY I believe. I have some other vids on the FX and input for external audio via the OP-Z but unfortunately don't have anything explaining the in/out devices personally!

[@asublimationpoint72]

What engine are you using to get that stuttering on the OPZ? I have never been able to get that sound on my OPZ! Great stuff!

[@RDiefenbach]

Hi ! Thanks ! Unfortunately it's not an internal OP-Z sound. The Z tracks are each individually sequencing synths in Ableton live. There's a small explantion in the description and some tutorials on this on my channel

[@savoirfaire8979]

Sounds great! I feel bad for your equipment, though. The moisture and cold are terrible for wood and electronics.
