What Remains - 30 Minutes of Ambient Generative Modular Synthesis for Sleep/Meditation/Concentration
Welcome back, friends-
To me, this conjures a feeling of post-stress, the calm after the storm. Fog still present but perhaps beginning to clear as the way ahead becomes apparent. Maybe that’s how many of us are feeling right now, venturing into the post-vaccine world.
This video was inspired by Uncle Peter’s creation here - ruclips.net/video/4-mpc3ddO54/видео.html
Doesn’t really sound the same but utilizes some of the same principles and signal paths on analogous tools. Thanks for the inspiration, Uncle Peter!
I worked on creating a similar (in some ways) patch using the modules in the rack I recently downsized (back) to from 3 rows which I felt had too many paths and left me with an uncerta...

kokoro - A Modular + Digitakt + OutboardFX DAWless Experiment
Просмотров 4343 года назад
This project began as an experiment to see if I could successfully interface the Digitakt with my modular rack. I ended up doing that via MIDI with the Expert Sleepers FH-2, which sends the MIDI clock to Pam's, which is then distributed across the system. Meanwhile, MIDI Track number 1 is also coming through the FH-2 and used to send CV/Gate to Plaits. Everything else is mostly connected via cl...
Methodical - Ambient Modular (19m) for Sleep/Meditation/Concentration, featuring Saïch
Просмотров 1,3 тыс.3 года назад
This is a simple patch featuring the new Saïch module, from Instruo. The basic chain is Qu-Bit Bloom (Sequencing) into Instruo Saïch (Voices) into MakeNoise QPAS (Filter) into CalSynth Typhoon (Space/Texture). Some additional modulation via the Instruo øchd (for filter cutoff and Saïch CV). The Bloom is sending the Saïch two sequences, one channel for the slow chord changes, and the other chann...
Obsesso (ambient generative modular synthesis for meditation or spacing out)
Просмотров 7673 года назад
I call this one "Obsesso", which is a nickname a friend gave me. Featuring a cool DIY LED cube that I assembled over the weekend in a solderthon I nearly abandoned out of frustration. Lots of modulation here, but basically I started with importing a custom wavetable on the 4MS SWN, and then added some noise (Plaits), percussive elements from Steppy/Squid, and generative (Quantized Bloom) melodi...
Darkened Doors - Generative Atmospheric Moog Trinity
Просмотров 4343 года назад
This was an experiment to try doing some generative things with the MOOG Trinity (Mother-32/DFAM/Subharmonicon). "Darkened Doors" because, well - I was thinking about the ominous and desolate darkened doorsteps on Halloween 2020. So what's going on in this patch? All three modules are synchronized. The DFAM is creating some modulated percussion, and the Mother-32 is giving us that nice punchy a...
Relentless - A Brief Musical Sketch featuring Generative Modular Synthesis with Moog Subharmonicon
Просмотров 2383 года назад
A quick sketch to get to know the Moog Subharmonicon and how it can integrate with a modular system. Need to figure out how to get better video I think it could be a lighting issue, but working on settings. Patch notes would be pretty complicated for this one, suffice it to say that we're working with a Eurorack modular synth, a Moog Subharmonicon, and Strymon Nightsky (which you can't really d...
The Cost of Doing Business - Ambient Generative Modular Synthesis
Просмотров 3313 года назад
I'm not sure why I called this "The Cost of Doing Business" except that it came to mind and relates to a conversation I had recently about modular and other studio gear. Yes, it's expensive, especially modular, but if this is something you love and want to do, then there's a price that must be paid. Fortunately, music production gear retains its value pretty well, especially if you're able to g...
REFRAME - Ambient Generative Modular Synthesis (drone music for sleep, concentration, meditation)
Просмотров 2773 года назад
I call this REFRAME, as it came in the context of rethinking how I use the ALM/BusyCircuits Squid Salmple module. Also a message to myself about broadly, seeing the world in new ways, and narrowly how poorly this was shot (haha). What's happening here? Sorry, went for dark stylized video but trust me it wasn't east to see what was going on with the modules, anyway. The next video will be sharpe...
Life Behind Glass - 30 minutes of Ambient Generative Modular for Sleep/Focus/Meditation/Relaxation
Просмотров 1,3 тыс.3 года назад
"Life Behind Glass" - This video features just over 30 minutes of a quiet ambient generative modular synthesis patch. To me, it conjured up a sense of stasis, or isolation, which so many are feeling right now, from homes to hospitals. Signal flow is similar to "The Sound of The Object" (started from an exercise in recreating that) prettier to look at, but harder to see, because of the dark ligh...
Ambient 147 - 2 Hours of Generative Modular Synthesis
Просмотров 14 тыс.4 года назад
Nearly 2 hours of ambient generative modular synthesis, suitable for relaxation, sleep, concentration, meditation. Technical notes (what's going on here): This began as an experiment with the Resonator algorithm on the Disting mk4. Once I found a satisfying tone, attenuated by the Triplatt, I established tonality by sending random voltage from the 2hp RND (displayed on the O'Tool scope) to the ...
The Sound of the Object. 3 Hours of Generative Modular Ambient
Просмотров 143 тыс.5 лет назад
Still trying to come to grips with the philosophy of generative music. This piece is not performed, but constructed-what you hear is the sound of the thing, not a song made with the thing. We can only experience music in linear time, but this entire musical object exists at the point of its creation. And in fact, this is just a 3-hour sample of what is potentially an infinite creation. So this ...

Here's my fifteenth entry for #Jamuary2017. Guess this is the halfway point! I can say I've learned a lot from the exercise of posting daily for the past two weeks. This video starts with a groove I composed on the Novation Circuit while sitting by the pool (sans video camera), and then morphs into something else, with sunset in the background. For interest, I splice in some fish and seagull sc...

Fourteenth entry for #Jamuary2017. Doing my best to keep up, even on days where I don't have access to my studio. Can't say this is too inspired, but fun nonetheless. Create, create, create. I chopped out some parts to make the full length shorter.

Просмотров 747 лет назад
A ten-minute groove creation session, this time trying out a simpler setup, direct from the instrument to the camera (monitored via camera headphone port). Everytime I start wondering if I really need the Circuit, I take it out and am reminded how easy it is to generate creative musical ideas. If only patch selection were simpler, it would be perfect, but the unknown factor is one of the joys t...

Twelfth entry in my #Jamuary2017 series. Noodling toward a triumphant-sounding sequence on a couple of Korgs. These two devices are so versatile, and sync together nicely. The entire session was about 35 minutes long but I've condensed it here to about a sixth of that.

stunning...
hope to see more of your videos -- I really like what you do
Me and my dorge come in peace.
Do you have a link to your setup on modular grid by ant chance?
My current rack (now a bit different than it was for this video) is here - cdn.modulargrid.net/img/racks/modulargrid_663858.jpg
But let me know if you have any questions about any of the modules shown.
@jszack this is incredible thank you. Just got into modular synths and am astounded by this world.
@@Solargarlicc It goes deep, but don't be afraid! I think it's rewarding at every level, and when it feels like you've gone too far, you can always back up and sell stuff (I scaled up and then scaled back down a bit). For more of my modular experiments (short form), check out my instagram @zacklur. Thanks for dropping by!
SQUID "SALMPLE"?!
Yep--made by ALM Busy Circuits
@@JasonZack1 How do you even pronounce it?
video 2 long (I see ads since I’m not subbed to RUclips “financially”)
awesome.....................so minimal and nuanced..................
zajebiste ! 174 Hz is believed to relive pain and stress, 285 Hz heals tissues and organs, 396 Hz releases fear and guilt, and 417 Hz facilitates change.
love that o-tool oscillator visualizer thing! also, what are the machines you have on either side of the rack? looks so curious I wonder what you’re up to! xx
Thanks for this video.I just got my Obey 4 today and used your download to reference fader position. Hooked up my Colorstrip mini and it worked as you posted. I was trying to use them with my Obey 40 and couldn’t get them to work. Thanks again
So glad this is still helpful all these years later! Thanks for the comment!
Kopfhörer, Räucherstäbchen und ein Rauchen. 👍😁
I strongly needed a change of reality with music. This is it.
Gorgeous, also oblique strategies!
simply brilliant, truly love the oscilloscope showing the patterns...
Hi guys,what is the set for back of colorstrip???Where should I put it so that it works with the console?
This is continuous audio journey. It's still playing and we use the object to tap in and tap out.

Reminds me of some of the music from Chernobyl. Love it.
For me, one of the best parts about this video, besides the lovely ambient soundscape, is your philosophical description of what is going on...
Am I looking at the whole thing? All this sound came from just that box? (and an Elektron Heat MK2, whatever that is?). Each of those modules are individually purchased and put into that cabinet? If there is a youtube somewhere that shows how that part is done, please let me know. I am curious. No flames please. Amazing sounds and atmosphere, yes, like Brian Eno but most intriguing when it is generated by 'the object'. Love the concept.
@@jszack Thanks very much for taking the time to respond. Inspiring. I remember when the minimoog came out in the 70's. This though is so much more than that. Thanks again for this soundtrack! Its perfect when there is heavy 'brain work' to do.
This is very nice background ambience for when I am playing Starsector. Amazing atmosphere, mainly when exploring some far away star systems or nebulas for derelicts.
that sounds wonderful
indeed, impressive with so less cable used - a sign of powerful modules and clever patching. Sounds great 👌
Absolutely astounding
Really enjoyed this, thank you!
After a sudden trip to the emergency room, this music just got me through a painful night. Listened to it twice! Very soothing to the soul, and much appreciated!
Oh wow-so glad you found it helpful, and wishing you a speedy recovery. Thanks for the message.
May I send you voice samples? I sing in tunnels and caves and other echoic chambers and I think it may go well with your style of slow beautiful synth
The music (yes) and your observations are great.
Thank you for making this video and for offering the PDF. Very helpful!
Thanks-glad you found it helpful!
I got the same sound from a casio
just got here. thank you! 😊
So that's what the Transistor God looks like.
this straight up put me to sleep. in a good way :D like i was passed out xD woke up when it stopped too.
I'm so glad people do this, it's a public service! What a great setup! Thanks for sharing the beauty of your synth.
Fantastisch!
Nice! Beautiful work… especially appreciate the patch notes in the description. Really helps to visualize the signal flow… 🧐
Love the Oblique Strategies
This is amazing thank you, helps me calm down when things get too much. The deep tones are mind blowing. Have a good day.
Oblique Strategies! ;)
I wonder if this thing can predict the weather? lol
Good one 🙂
Great one.........
Gorgeous tones & atmosphere, excellent work Zack !
The craziest thing is, it uses like, less than 20 cables
all of those expensive machines to only make that cheap noize?
You had me at "Oblique strategies", brother.
beautiful!
wow :)
Gorgeous. So minimal yet so perfect.
