Stu's Technicolour Musical Bong™
United Kingdom
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 23 ก.พ. 2007
Hi. I'm Stu, a very part time live looping composer, ex touring musician, now housebound and often bedbound with CFS/ME.
I'm no longer able to play my old instruments, so I've built a disability friendly live looping rig to unlock the music in my head. I'm a legal medicinal cannabis user, and central to my rig is a way to take my prescription medicine mid performance, hence the name. Poor health limits my playing to very short bursts of creativity and often dictates very long breaks.
Controllers: Linnstrument, Studiologic Fatar M117 bass keyboard, Korg Microkey61, Novation Launchpad, Akai Midimix, Oxygen Pro Mini, FCB1010
Other hardware of note: Boss RC505, Synthstrom Deluge, Micromonsta V1, 1010 Lemondrop, TC Helicon Perform VK, Shure SM7B
VSTs: AudioModelling SWAM Violin, Cello and Double Reed libraries, and Pianoteq
Vaping hardware - Big Box Bubbler from RecommendedVapeSupplies with Flowerpot F0 ball vape
Thanks and I hope you enjoy the music :)

"Boxing Day Stroll" - Live Looped Improvised Virtual Chamber Group
I just had a quick listen to some of the 'written off' recordings from earlier and discovered this one from 11:20pm on Boxing Day which is worthy of archiving.

I had a mostly restful Boxing Day, but I did attempt a few bursts of playing. Most attempts were unsuccessful until this 2:45am dive just now... I'm off back to zzz, but I wanted to archive this piece before it got lost in the bin
"Festive Frivolities" - Fuelled by yet more cannabinoids and another large glass of Talisker

I completely forgot about this short ditty that I played shortly after the last one, and shortly before I had to go to sleep for a few hours. Archived for posterity. #improvisedmusic #freeimprovisation

I had a lovely meals on wheels Christmas lunch which fuelled a long afternoon fiesta. I woke up, had a nice glass of Taliker whisky and broke open my Christmas stash of naughty (non prescribed) cannabinoids and switched on the rig. This is the first impro from this heavily medicated state. Merry Christmas everyone! #improvisedmusic #freeimprovisation

My bodyclock is pretty broken at the moment, and the recent weather changes have been playing havoc with the nerve pain, so I found myself heavily infusing my CB1 and CB2 receptors with some Kandy Kush - www.leafly.com/strains/kandy-kush I've decided that I need my floor pedalboard installed back in the rig.

Apologise for the sunglasses, but I'm extremely light sensitive today and didn't want to record another dark video. I woke up today with the orchestra in my head playing extremely loudly, so I switched on the rig to let them play their hearts out. I recorded a bit of music last night too, but a vital cable developed a nasty buzz, rendering those recordings useless. I've since traced and replace...

I was struggling to sleep and had a cacophony of music leaking into the pillow, so I got up and switched on the rig. It was fun :) I still can't sleep, so I also edited and uploaded the video. CFS/ME often has cycles of extreme insomnia, and I fear that I might be hitting such a cycle. #linnstrument #liveimprovisation

Tonight's musical meanderings for your eardrums. I always struggle to find the words to fill out the description box, as I don't know what more to say other than it's another improvisation. My fatigue is pretty bad at the moment and it's affecting my balance in some interesting and slightly dangerous ways. It doesn't seem to stop me from playing though, but I'm hitting a lot of fatigue brick wa...

Tonight's impro carried the torch of the repeating theme and carried it on another improvised journey. CFS brain fog got in the way right at the end, hence the slightly confused ending. www.leafly.com/strains/do-si-dos #linnstrument #rc505 #looping #improvisation
"Melancholic Melange" - Live Looped Real-Time Orchestrated Composition
มุมมอง 11914 วันที่ผ่านมา
Tonight's fun impro dive saw a few returning theme ideas. I guess these impros are the literal soundtrack to my life, so it's not surprising that many theme ideas will carry through. I'm pretty certain I've appropriated them from somewhere else too, but theft is fine when it comes to music. Heh. I'm feeling more relaxed and competent with each improvisation, but playing still knocks me for six,...

"Calm Before The Storm" - Live Looped Real-Time Composition
มุมมอง 6614 วันที่ผ่านมา
Recorded just before Storm Darragh hits my part of the UK. CFS fatigue has been pretty bad this week so I haven't attempted much playing, but I'm finding that each impro is less taxing on my health. I'm confident that I'll eventually find some kind of equilibrium that allows me to continue to play. I still haven't plugged in half of the studio yet, nor reinstalled the LED lighting circuit, but ...

I sent off my PIP disability benefit forms today, and I now wait to see if I win the 'live or die' game of roulette, hence why this impro is named as it is. The entire process is literal psychological torture, and I probably would have given up if I didn't have help filling in the forms. I haven't been able to play much lately as I'm still the wrong side of a CFS/ME crash and it's often very di...

Thanks Chris 😊
That was fantastic!
Thanks Chris x
total joy to listen to 🥰 you've got some of the best sounds around 🔥
Thank you 😊
Beautiful!!!🙏
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed
Do you work on other big companies? :o GAWD DAMN!!!
Hi. I'm not sure I understand the question fully, but I don't create any other music other than what's on this channel
I remember listening to your solo string project when you posted it on the old SA forums. My daughter is a budding violinist and I went searching for you. Glad to see you're still making music!
Hi! Thanks for remembering me. The violin looping was quite a few years ago. I've not been able to play the violin since 2006, but as you can see I've adapted a bit. Take it easy :)
Hi. That was enjoyable to listen to. Your piece also gave me the tought that there was burden and sadness hearable. Art, that´s what it is man. And about something else. Your vest or sweather/hoodie or somekind, where did you get it from? A store somewhere or via the internet? 🤞Please say the internet, please say the internet🤞. It would fit great on top of a few of my trousers. With some clothing it´s a shame that they can die and rotten too, especially if not taken care of. But if man wants to then stuff can also be giving reïncarnation, like men. Now I will say to myself ´quit the bullshit and wish the man a good day´. Good day man. Peace out. My regards from Belgium.
You'll be very pleased to know that the answer is 'the internet'. I found it on Amazon - "Gheri Men's Cotton Razor Cut Pixie Pointed Hood Jacket" - www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01MRKEM74/r - and it is one of the best things I've ever purchased. I hope you are able to easily source one from Belgium!
Yo. Fun to have meet a reaction of yours. Oké, so Amazon, thanks. I would exactly say that there was a cool vibe to your message that resonated with me. Maybe because some split atoms came over with it .. ´scuse me for the bullcrap. Can´t help it, most of the time, to sell my sense or nonsense to people. Slightly not average am I. Wish you the best. Hoera for ourselves. Shut up my self, NOW! Bye 👍
@@tommaenhaut6486 I'm glad I was able to resonate you into owning one of these incredible jackets, and I'm really happy you enjoyed the music :)
Glad i found this link. Beautiful 🎉🎉🎉 This put my out in deep space
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed :)
I loved the bright tone of this one. Could be the theme of a lively town in a fantasy videogame.
Thank you 🙂
Loving it <3
I'm glad you enjoyed 😊
Sorry I haven't commented in a while, Stu. Still loving your stuff!
There's absolutely no obligation to comment or even listen, but I'm pleased that you're enjoying my musical meanderings :) Thanks!
You are a real musical wizard
Thank you for your kind words. My clothing is definitely getting very wizardry lately, heh
love the bouncy bass, adore the strings 👏 smooth keywork, and mind-blowing singing! 🤯
Thank you. The singing is all faked using the Perform-VK. I literally go 'Uggghhhh" into the microphone and the top keyboard sings the note. It's a great little box
Wonderfull mister, liking it. It could easily be a soundtrack of a game!
Thank you 😃
ahhhhhh • now I'm missing my Linnstrument...........cool upload.................some great ideas and moments.....and you may already know this, but on the 505, you can change your default setting, so that it goes directly - Record > Play..............instead of - Record > Overdub > Play
Hi & thanks for your kind comments. I always go straight into overdub so it captures any reverb tails, otherwise I'd risk recording mini clips in the loops. Did you sell your Linnstrument?
Ahhh.....the reverb tails........brilliant.....just wanted to make sure that you understood that option......Yeah, I sold my Linn200 because I was working on a custom made workspace which has very limited physical space. I've tried the Joué 'Play' and a few other isomorphic controllers but frankly, nothing can really compare with the Linnstrument...........Maybe one day I'll purchase another.............thanks for the response......
@@willswitchcraft I hope you are able to get your hands on a Linn again. Maybe a 128 would fit better with your setup? Nothing I've tried gives me the same expression that a Linn gives.
Yeah, that Roger is quite a talent.....nothing else really comes close......
Grooovy.🔥
Thank you :) I'm glad you enjoyed
สุดยอดมากครับ
hey stu, i sampled your hocus opus recording thingies for an upcoming album and i wanted to ask where i could contact you because id like to get your personal approval before publically releasing it
Hi. I need to set up an email for this project, but you can contact me at stuwyatt at outlook dot com, and please prod me on here to let me know an email is incoming. I'm both happy and excited to hear what you've done with them :)
@@stuwyatt i sent an email with a demo track

love the strings and piano 👏 an inspiring and hopeful listening experience 😊
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the journey
Hi ! another nice jam :) How do you the pitch changes on your voice ?
Thank you. I use a TC-Helicon Perform VK on one of the harmony settings, and allows me to play the note I want to sing
Am I the first? Love your titles...and the music, of course!
Yes you are & and thanks :)
inspiring and satisfying jam 👏 love the vocals! 🥰 PS is that a linnstrument you're using (between the upper and lower keyboards)?
Thank you. Yes, that's a Linnstrument. I use it to play the SWAM violin, cello and double reed libraries
Wonderful!!

Sound Track to the New Age Cyber Crusade.

This is so beautiful and calming. Thank you for sharing your music with us. I'll be sharing it with friends. 🎶
Thank you, and I'm happy you liked it
This like a beautiful dance, loves it 💖
Thanks :) I'm glad you enjoyed it
This is gorgeous! Love the layers and textures.
Thank you. I've fallen in love with this simple live looping technique, and it feels like painting music by numbers. The music literally creates itself with each passing of the loop
That's beautiful ❤
Thank you ❤
Woah
I wan't to subscribe. But you have 666 subscribers and I don't wanna ruin it :(
Haha. I managed to get a screenshot of my subscriber count when it was 666. You are now safe to sub if you haven't already. Good luck with your journey too. I have a few friends who have travelled down your path before, and I know how challenging it all is. Much respect for sharing your story in the way that you do.
@@stuwyatt Thank you <3 I will sub :)
just stumbled across your channel, absolutely dope mah dude! keep it up, keep putting out theses staanky medieval beats!
Hi and thanks. I'm really happy you can hear the medieval echoes. I spent a few years from 12-15 playing hardcore medieval and renaissance music as part of a regional early music collective, and it laid down some deep foundations in my brain. I'm glad you enjoyed :)
I'm kind of navigating towards rig like this, could you please list down what gear is featured in that video ? All the best getting around your illnesess!
Hi. Sure, the current studio setup is this: Controllers: Linnstrument, Studiologic Fatar M117 bass keyboard, Korg Microkey61, Novation Launchpad, Akai Midimix, Oxygen Pro Mini, FCB1010 Other hardware of note: Boss RC505, Synthstrom Deluge, Micromonsta V1, 1010 Lemondrop, TC Helicon Perform VK, Shure SM7B VSTs: AudioModelling SWAM Violin, Cello and Double Reed libraries, and Pianoteq
Bro cooked. Really dope stuff man!
Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed
Hi! Here i am again! This is one of my favourites! I haven't heard all of them ,but i will! I am glad that you are so productive!😊❤️❤️❤️
Thank you. I'm happy you enjoyed :)
You had me at the very beginning. It's doing exactly what it's supposed to, keeping it fairly simple is what gives it that hypnotic element. Its very Riders on the Stormesque❤ Thanks for sharing😊

Thank you :) I've just recorded another one that I'm about to upload.
It is good that you are back! 👍 Great performance! I like it a lot!
Thanks. It feels great to play, but I wish I had self control. I'm contemplating switching it back on and having an early hours dive. I seem to force myself into crash/relapse mode every time. Is there such a thing as Musician's Anonymous?
@@stuwyatt You should not force yourself to anything. But the comeback looks great!
@@SmallWorldBigThings Thanks. I'm glad you like :) I do have to force myself to stop a lot, or I'll simply play myself into an early grave. I have no self control or sense of time or self preservation when chasing the buzz I get from looping. I get totally sucked in, and it's very self-destructive. I seem to be finding a balance of sorts though (still not dead) :)
Small break in publishing new gigs? All good?
Hi. I'm in a CFS/ME crash and spending most of the time in bed at the moment. The music will resume when I'm out of the other side of it.
@stuwyatt Wish you a fast recovery. 🙏
