SOMA Terra - Gesprächskonzert @SUPERBOOTH22

With the Terra, SOMA presented a complex polyphonic synthesizer that allows microtonality. Vlad Kreimer is playing it for the SUPERBOOTH22 audience in the Auditorium here.
The synthesizer, which is still in development, comes in an extremely unusual case. Looking like it was cut directly out of a tree and filled with natural vibrations, the device will surely have a positive effect on the creativity of its users.

Vlad is the only revolutionary man who has a real vision in his mind. Making us “playing” music and with music. I love him for his mission.

THIS DUDE IS A SONIC SUPERHERO!!

[@TheNimasan]

Words!

[@TheNimasan]

I will put this genius in my personal Moog, buchla, smith and gillet list.

[@jesseyrouss6918]

This guy presents the next big thing with awesome pieces of improvised music. The crowd applauds him and he reacts with a frustrated "It's not the end." I love this guy

[@user-dm1sd7fz2b]

I live in russia and he is not really frustrated, rather excited to show what other features this instrument has

[@danthreepwood2760]

I'll wait for the SOMA ''Urban Special Edition''. Instead of a piece of tree trunk it's made with a sidewalk tile. So frikkin' cool!!

[@browe]

I'm genuinely excited for, and inspired by, Vlad's new concept here. Each time I see/hear a new dimension of Terra, I'm even more impressed.

[@wilhelmmatthies5921]

Bravo Vlad for creating such a flexible and extensive new instrument! Bravo for figuring out how our ten fingers can best integrate with knobs to create in the moment changes in timbre, pitch level, etc!

[@wherearewewherearewe]

Watching this in 1.5x was like watching Vlad Shreds 😂 I love it!

[@pseudobeast4653]

Incredible performance!

[@theboytheycalljonny1]

Absolutely love his approach. Change the interface, change the perception of whats possible.

[@vovos00]

Sending love from Korea

[@annedeoedipus7849]

An amazing instrument and I cannot wait to get my hands on one. God’s speed the release!

[@entropydisorder6359]

That velocity control is so lively

[@raialice5118]

amazing artist and a amazing instrument .(btw.I love my Lyra 8 )

[@matthewtunnicliffe201]

That thing sounds so good!

[@KonstantinKlem]

amazing synth!

[@rayflux]

Boah wie geil, echt krass... als er dann auch noch die bewegungsmodulationen gespielt hat: Mindblow!!!

[@lamarcussweatpants3163]

This is the top guy rn

[@wellenstrom]

Wieder mal ein Geniestreich von Kreimer. Sehr flexibel im Handling, der Oschi. Und nebenher ein Klangerzeuger, dem ein Meditationscharakter innewohnt. Macht schon einen Unterschied, ob ein Musiker Instrumente entwickelt oder ein Techniker das tut.

[@HostilePlanet]

Vlad is a genius!

Vlad is da shit right now ! “ think” Steve Jobs of the synth world

[@djscanmind]

Дааааа.....Меня поразил этот инструмент, удивительный девайс и звук. Одни талантливые люди придумывают вот такие аппараты, а другие придумывают как эффективней и по максимуму разорвать живую плоть( я про войну).... Дай Бог нам всем мирного неба над головой и красивой музыки!

[@droid-9]

Yes totally agree with your opinion,Vlad is a genius a one off,I have the Lyra-8 and Cosmos and have the Enner on order and then Soma bring out Terra,I'm coming to the conclusion that Soma instruments is all I need and on the road to fully ditch the daw and soulless mouse clicking!and yes please let's have peaceful skies everywhere and an end to this and all insane war's.

[@djscanmind]

@@droid-9 👍 Music is the universal language for all of us. who doesn't need a translator.🌈🌞

[@jean-marieguitard6734]

Thanks. What about more 'analogic' sound to modulate to ? I mean known sounds like acoustic instrument sounds for example, modifying by this machine with our own finger and creativity, possible ?

[@popokill]

Epic

[@sunwoodtul8233]

What's the chance Bjork will have a concept album next year called "Terra" featuring just 3 "devices" and vocals

[@berniefeit5336]

absolutely awesome - when will it be available and what will be the price?

I Want One !!! 😀

[@corticallarvae]

i think this man is the only person who is interested in the same concepts that i am, how metaphysics proper and esotericism can be translated into waves again other than aimple intonation.... so there is a sound you haven't heard before out there

i just hope the cv was used wisely or even routably ... i also wonder if this capacitative toucb is mpe

is it real wood?

[@jerrydean9239]

It is, but he said there will be two versions of it with the same functions but different looks, one like the one in the video (costing more than 1000 euros), and another one in a box (costing less than 1000 euros)

[@djsavada718]

@@jerrydean9239 thank you for that info

[@manmaas]

Sadly, I'll have to go with the one that is less than a £1,000.

[@alexlifeson8946]

Looks cool, but what I'm hearing can pretty-much be configured and performed on my Yami Montage utilizing aftertouch, transpose, pitch, bend, and ribbon control ☺️

[@ikeaboy_damo]

Yeah, but it's a question of the unique interface along with the choice parameters you can modulate. Plus it has a tone of its own.

[@cayenne7792]

NICE! but it its no Theremin, can we all agree?

[@jonbongjovi1869]

you're kidding / trolling, right? It can do a zillion things the Theremin can't do. (Theremins are very limited.) If you mean for VISUAL SHOCK, then, yeah, it can't match the Theremin.

It's a nich synth and SOMA has been very successfull with the Lyra-8 and the Pulsar-23.

[@jonbongjovi1869]

show us your "math", Giuliani Bro. I think this is one of the most genius musical instruments ever! Vlad's a genius and this thing is incredible. PERHAPS you didn't understand that this was a DEMONSTRATION? (Maybe you think it's not "musical" enough, because this wasn't a concert, where he'd be less random and hectic.) LAZY THINKING will get you nowhere.

[@neleknut2379]

Even though I like that he is innovating but this thing looks horrible, sounds horrible and I guess it feels horrible. It also just doesnt seem that one could do very much with it, playing it in a natural way. But I guess the thing is just so crazy and cool. It's just beyond me how someone could want buy this. A company like Pittsburgh modular repackages its synths over and over again and he is selling a piece of wood with a questionable interface, but being new and innovative must be good I guess. The sythesizer world is nothing but a marketing hell.

[@ChristopherGwinn]

You clearly have a tin ear. This sounds fantastic and the interface is both unique and innovative.

[@neleknut2379]

@@ChristopherGwinn and thats the typical salesman pitch, just because something is innovative and unique doesnt mean that its good.

[@Weyk47]

the cool thing about synths is that they are used to build parts of songs not always all of it. So maybe you have it in your mind that this is ONLY going to be used as a one man band situation. I can see Trent Reznor picking up one of these and making some VERY interesting sounds and moods for music. I can hear a multitude of different use cases from horror soundscapes for music in video games to ethereal backing tracks in music in general. Just to give you an actual reason on why it might be a cool thing that is indeed unique.

[@jonbongjovi1869]

Sounds like you're super-CONSERVATIVE, and lack imagination. (I believe you that you'd have no idea how to make good music with this amazing device.) "what is with these distorted guitars? It sounds horrible! and that long hair on them Beatles makes them look like delinquents!" "this elvis presley is PURE NOISE and Devil's Music!" The GOP in the USSA tried to outlaw "Louie Louie" and "The Twist" --- look it up! Sad to see how narrow your tastes are, Mr. Hitler!

[@neleknut2379]

@@jonbongjovi1869 You, sir are a real fool. I listened to everything, from free jazz to black metal, to avantgarde electronic music. You dont even get the point. I guess that is the internet, people being too ignorant to understand any point that is made and calling people hitler. you cant be much older than 20 years. I was being against marketing, not against experimental instruments per se. This is just a digital synth which uses touch, basically it is a more clumsy arturia microfreak. But idiots like you prefer synth influencers which will never compare stuff they review to stuff which is already out there. And Mr. Fool, I have a microfreak and I can appreciate the lyra 8 and the Pulsar. That doenst mean I need to like verything. Internet stupidity is beoynd belief.
