Cosmos (SOMA Lab) Deep Ambient Performance w/ Koshi Chimes, Cello & Guitar | Drifting Memory Station
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ส.ค. 2022
- Since I started as an 'artist' in 2019 making cello meditation music, it has been my dream to make real ambient music, live and free, without any framework or ideas beforehand, to be totally in the wonderful present and in the unknown which is the true sense of creativity. Today I got a new pedal, called Cosmos, by SOMA Laboratory and it's an 'anti-'loop machine as it doesn't loop typically and repetitively as a normal looper making it ever-changing and unexpected. Here I am trying the pedal for the first time (literally never used it before and this is completely fresh, so don't hate me if it's not good!), with koshi chimes, acoustic guitar and cello. I also use Strymon BigSky, TimeLine and the ElectroHarmonix MicroPOG. Enjoy this 15-minute performance. Close your eyes and go deep into the quantum field!

Soma creates the best gear ever and the cosmos pedal is no different. Seriously the most amazing loop pedal around!
I agree! SOMA is so amazing
I've been looking for ivdeos to give me an idea about the Cosmos. Great many of them used synthesizers. Very refreshing to see you perform this with acoustic instruments, which is exactly what I'd find interesting to do myself. Great performance!
Great to hear! Most of my latest videos all use the Cosmos as well, so feel free to explore those videos too :)
i am at a loss for words at this, but let me try, beautiful, incredible, deep, natural, the universe is in this in all of its glory and majesty, thank you thank you thank you for this beautiful, beautiful piece !!!
Wow, thank you Kenny! For someone at a loss for words, your comment is very clear to me! I appreciate that you shared that with me
MY GOD. I was just typing in searching for random pedals and cello and the universe sent me you. simply blown away. You are amazing. Not even religious anymore but you gave me that experience ... so AMEN
Ahaha ahhh I’m so happy the universe brought you to me too! Thanks for your comment and appreciation. AMEN
Beautiful work again.
Thank you 🙏
Thanks for watching and commenting Night Wolf! I appreciate it :)
Stunning. I’m speechless. Exquisite!
Heya Neil, ahh thank you for your comment!! I have a few newer tracks made with the SOMA Cosmos on my profile, feel free to check them out :) (they are titled Cosmic Meditation Series)
Such lovely tones & atmosphere... awesome work Janice !
Thanks for the comment marti. Stay tuned for more, as I’m just getting started :)
You are the BEST Janice! Your work and presentation are always so beautiful! Thank You 🙏🏻 for spreading peace and beauty. ❤️
Hello s1nderell1! Thank you so much for your comment, really warmed my heart to receive such words!! Many blessings to you 💗
It's absolutely great!
👍😎🇦🇹
Thanks Rudolf, much appreciated
What you created in the moment is brilliant. Well done!
Aww thanks Elaine! It was a fun first try and can’t wait to try again and see what happens ‘in the moment’
Love this!
Ohh thanks so much!
Beautiful. Nice work!
Cheers Ethan! I appreciate it :)
2 minutes in i subbed, lovely vibe, reminiscent of the ost of Arrival, beautiful!!
Thanks for the sub! I appreciate it
In 2019, I myself found music as a balancing element to all the madness taking place in our world, I'm currently looking into the Cosmos and I have to be honest, apart from Matt Johnson Jamiroquai's demo, this is the first presentation that has captivated me. Congratulations.
And after watching a few other videos on your channel, I can't help but subscribe.
Thank you so much… really appreciate that you left me a comment and subscribed! The Cosmos is something special. I myself am still learning to use it in interesting ways
@@TheWongJanice
Logically, it cannot be quite so simple, as it leaves the familiar terrain, like most of Vlad Kreimer's works. However, you have probably intuitively found a good mixture of softer sounds and rather short, slightly rhythmic parts, so that it has satisfied my usually rather high qualitative demands.
I think his latest creation, the Flux, might also be interesting for your work.
Ah yes, there are many settings and modes and also I was thinking of trying the ‘rhythmic’ mode soon (you install it with a USB) as then it works more like a typical looper. I personally don’t ‘get’ how to work with short rhythmical sounds so I am glad my music has satisfied you. Thanks for sharing. I did not know about the Flux!
@@TheWongJanice You're welcome. I hope my assumption that the Flux might suit you, based on the type of music you make, wasn't completely wrong.
My guess is, that the arhythmic mode is way better for your ambient style of music.
The sentence "You install it with a USB" somehow tells me that your music is better than your knowledge of all these things that are far too complicated anyway and unfortunately often quite pointless.
But in case you need help, feel free to ping me, that shouldn't be a problem for me. In return, you can teach me something about cellos.
@@Waldemar_la_Tendresse haha yes fortunately I can play the cello and have spent hours and years on it - can’t say the same about audio tech as it’s a newer part of my craft. But yes, I might not have used the correct wording but I am nonetheless happy that I understand the concept of changing the firmware with the flash drive if needed! Thank you for the offer to help in exchange for cello knowledge. I’ll keep it in mind. Cheers
Spacey, airy, and a total delight! Watching as it was performed was truly inspirational! It brings to my mind the ambiance of the Blade Runner movies in all of their glory! Just marvelous, my dear!
Hello metaspherz, thanks for watching my video and leaving me such a nice comment! Loved that you referenced Blade Runner. I’ve been indeed thinking that this piece is a little sci-fi :)
beautiful - great work!
Thanks Ross, I appreciate it
C’est merveilleux,féerique ! Merci 🙏
Merci beaucoup! 🫶
Amazing! Very glad, that I´ve discovered your channel. I would also be excited to hear more of what you would create with the soma cosmos. Thank you!
Hi Emanuel, very nice to meet you! Welcome to my channel :) I’m editing already another 7 videos that I made with the Soma Cosmos so stay subscribed!
I was so excited when I got this notification a few days ago. I really needed it however life has been so hectic that I didn't get to listen until last night.
It's nothing short of tragedy that too often we put off the beautiful things while we tend to that which is hurting, both literally and figuratively. Your work has not only soothed me, it has opened my eyes to a priceless lesson. From the bottom of my heart thank you
Dear Juan, thank you so much for comment; even through whatever you are going through you still manage to share your experience and your appreciation, so thank you. Glad to know it has soothed you and also given you a lesson. Since releasing this video I’ve been playing more with this new piece of gear and can’t wait to share these new musical works. Take care
"to be totally in the wonderful present and in the unknown which is the true sense of creativity." that made me think. thanks for that impulse. great demo btw...
Thanks for your comment Wolf Unplugged. Nice to hear that the description got you thinking! I hope they were good thoughts? Cheers
Beautiful and inspiring! :)
Thank you so much! So happy to read your comment Sid :)
Beautiful..thx a lot .....greetings from Soma in Thailand !
Thanks for your compliment and greetings!!
Thank you. 🙏🏻💜
Thanks for watching Magical Mystery Girl 🙏
Ahhh une démo qui donne vraiment envie d'avoir ce Cosmos. C'est très beau. Merci Janice
Merci Stephane!
Best way to end the week and start the weekend buuf 🙏🏻💚
Aww thanks for watching buum. Fijn weekend!! 🙏💗
Fantastic. Like a delicate flower in the middle of the big mountains, focused.🪷
Thank you Urko, great visualisation!
Bravo!
Thanks so much :)
Absolutely incredible!
Thanks very much Kasper! I’m wondering which keyword you searched brought you to my video? Or was it just a suggested video?
@@TheWongJanice I was looking for the soma cosmos :)
Oh nice! If you have questions about the cosmos I will be happy to answer them. Otherwise, thanks for stopping by my channel and all the best with your music making :)
Thanks! I just ordered mine and once I have it I may reach out with questions :)
@KaspersFocus oh awesome! What kind of music do you make / instruments will you use with it?
Love it
Thanks Barney, more musical experiments coming soon!!
@@TheWongJanice I look forward to to it! Been composing myself too, nice to get creative again. Love the new pedal!
🌟👌🙋♂
🙏🙏✨
Wonderfull! May i ask how you connect 3 different electonic instruments into the Soma or do you have a device between the instruments and the Soma? Thank you for this very relaxing experience
Hi David, I use one microphone for all instruments and plug it into a pre-amp (Eventide Mixing Link) which you can find below in the description of the video - see my signal chain. I hope this helps!
Amazing.How do U connection cosmos?To mixer ?Or directly to the speakers?
Yes, from Comos -> mixer -> audio interface but you can go directly to the audio interface without mixer
U are amazing!One question,do U connect with any mixer ,or just cosmos?
I prefer with a mixer
awesome..........you'll also likely be interested in experimenting with some of the alternate firmware for the Cosmos.....I'd highly recommend the Rhythmic version (I've uploaded many Cosmos videos on my channel, if you're interested) .......Love this super minimal approach here..............And I'm into the Koshi chimes as well.......such a great sonic texture
Hi Will! So nice you found my video. I am new to Cosmos and have come across your videos while doing some research; very inspiring and magical sounds! You seem to be very enthusiastic about the Cosmos. Could we chat more about it? Please send me an email (check my profile or website) or perhaps through Instagram if you use it? Cheers!
Wow! It’s gorgeous! Amazing… your art is boosted with soma cosmos… it’s not a looper it’s another thing player based on you
Hi Hessence, thank you so much for your kind words! I’m working on more videos and can’t wait to share them :) this was just the first try!
Hello Janice, Could you recommend a type of microphone for use with Soma Cosmos?
Hey there, for which instrument?
@@TheWongJanice acoustic guitar
@@woc56
Any decent condenser mic with a good pre-amp will work unless you have onboard electronics.
@@Folkstone57 cheers
@lyra8-flow sorry I didn’t see the replies here as TH-cam doesn’t notify of replies on replies… but yes Folkestone is right, a condenser mic would be the best! I use a small condenser for most of my videos on TH-cam
It's on the tip of my tongue to ask who then is the right Janice...
Hahah there is an answer to that actually… but the answer is debatable 😅
@@TheWongJanice After I was done typing I did stay and watch your session. A welcome mind-idling counterbalance to today's manic society. Thanks for losing time with me, Janice!
@@renevanderkraats224 thank you René for taking the time to listen to my music and to leave me a comment :)
CHEAP and LAME.
