I love that guy, i know a vid on yt where he's speaking about his analog synthz, his work with Portishead..etc That guy seems so patient, calm, kind and inventive ! Thanks Sonicstate for that wonderful gift !

[@Watts660]

He's probably the nicest musician out there. Totally cool guy without trying to be. Always a joy to watch/listen to.

Adrian is the reason i got into hardware synths around 10 years ago, the video of him playing the Arturia MiniBrute prompted me to buy a MicroBrute as i couldn't afford the Mini. Love Portishead and love this guy!!!

[@meneerjansen00]

Adrian Utley is a hero of mine. Went to a Portishead concert in the middle 90's: loved it! :-)

[@FUNKINETIK]

Could listen to Adrian talk for hours - his chat with Alex ‘MylarMelodies’ is really good. Every so often I just gotta have a listen to (or watch) Portishead’s NYC concert - it’s so perfect in every way. P E A C E : )

[@ezzong]

Well i can listen to Ade talk about synths for the rest of my life

[@bp9884]

Bob Ross of synths

[@swordghoti]

Very interesting interview, Adrian is a smart dude. For a synth which seems ostensibly simple, I suspect that it's very versatile in usage.

[@piggycity]

Love Adrian Utley, great video

[@johnpenguin9188]

“Vehicle for making music” haha He’s described most people I’ve seen into synths. Also glad he explained how old he is 🤣

[@smokey5100]

My favorite synthesizer ever!

[@13opacus]

thank you thank you thank you for this great interview and by the way, of course you can make an album on one synth, haven't you people heard Alessandro Cortini?

[@mikehydropneumatic2583]

Free Moogs for everybody! Got a Subsequent37 and love it, just had a S&H noodle on it. With a Korg ARP Odyssey and DB Impact this can be very enjoyable. The Subsequent is a bit of a mini MiniMoog (two VCOs with sub), but... It is half or even less the price, full MIDI CC, presets and so on. The Sub37 is the bargain of this 21th century. A Moog is a Moog of course of course...

The man. The myth. The legend.

[@mrotaveria]

and then theres Adrian

[@Zinfidel1]

I still remember sonicstate's interview with Adrian from years ago. He talked about using his Arp for 'Third' and it was great. Now, we need 'Fourth' Adrian hint hint. I'm not rich so i have a certain Model D clone in my eurorack set up. It sounds amazing through reverb or delay. Slight detune and it brings a really warm and vintage sound.

[@felipesigne901]

i'd like to see that old interview you're talking about, couldn't find it yet...

[@Zinfidel1]

The Sonicstate video is called *Portishead in the Studio* kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKC3aH2hqq6Fm6s I would recommend SourceDistributionTV's Adrian Utley videos as well.

[@mrotaveria]

Hero.

[@gnarlysoundscapes7210]

"So now if you hold a note, it'll..." "...It won't work." xD

[@wul01]

"Wah wah as a kid" yep that was me too.

[@axs203]

We can totally relate to what he says about Moogs / Wendy Carlos / Tomita..........it really is magic when you hear them.......Sextant i/Herbie s a great synth album ......that one is so far out and the water sounds on it are just so cool....more Arp than Moog!

[@pekkagronfors7304]

Why the repost?

[@sonicstate]

Audio sync issue - sorry about that

[@hjhkjhre454554]

Beatles still going when Minimoog was out?

[@astrophonix]

No, the Beatles used a Moog Modular system 15 on Abbey Road in 1969/70.

[@spurv]

Great interview ... but really ... you can tell Adrian just wants to play this synth, but the mic keeps getting in the way.

[@matiasmoulin2126]

I'm much like Adrian: I love to listen to him playing and talking about the Minimoog for ever ...nevertheless I don't want one.

[@thedrumunkey8582]

What kinda goofball down-thumbed this!?
