dont laugh :) but rather than conjuring impressions of temperate zone flora, images of street scene on a rainy and wet day in Philippines, or another urban south East Asian cities, viewed from an elevated window seat..... fantastically composed and especially captivating tempered and focused loop of that string like lead. Bravo. PS. I tried to understand the Norns but being non-tech knob I don't seem to understand it. I understand its a computer. Is it working like a daw and you are using its FX?
Ammanuel Thank you so much. I never been to Asia, so I don‘t know what the urban life there feels like. But I‘m happy the track evokes these memories :) Norns is basically a little music computer running various apps. It‘s not like a DAW, more like an instrument. I‘m using it to play (and manipulate) four loops here. I‘m also not a programmer or anything. But is still is a lot of fun to use.
I blame my wild imagination on films, scores, books etc...I have never been to Asia myself. I am going with my intuitive influences of images, culture etc... what they call aesthetic canvases :)...nonetheless, thank you for creating a track that enables my imagination to roam freely around the world ( for free:) I dont want to take up your time but I have a question regarding the Norns: how do you input or trigger the loops? midi keys or does it have a (step)sequencer?
Ammanuel It is played via the monome grid. The app is calles MLR. It has been around for many years for computers and is a classic monome programm. You should find many examples online. Most likely more on vimeo. Anyways, the grid has two „page“ so one is a bit like a sequencer. But not really. It basically visualizes the whole loop and you can jump to different parts of the loop via the grid. I‘m only showing the other page here as the loops are already set up and I just select them to change the volume and pplayback time etc.
sounds so good!! when you recorded / performed this, were you monitoring the input or the actual tape recording playback? I guess my question is does it get recorded to tape before or after your live monitoring?
Do you record to tape for the sound you get or for the ceremony, tactile enjoyment? Or both? And then how do you get the audio back onto your computer? Or do you record to tape and digitally at the same time? Lovely sounds. Ordering the Norns in a few days.
@@JoggingHouse no worries! You've got plenty of releases to keep me busy either way :~) I will say, though... the melodic movements on this track are seriously unforgettable. Some of your finest stuff, and some of the finest stuff in general.
@@JoggingHouse Actually circling back on this piece again - if you don't mind my asking, is the Grid controlling Norns' looper's sample size? Or is it doing something entirely different? Saving up for both, can't wait to dive in!
this is all great! I like your vids and music. I 've just been wondering...do you think this video would have had the same amount of views, if you'd had just put a random name on the piece and would not mention the gear....? I think that people these days are so much more gear oriented, than melody, or overall sound, arrangements...Please, this by all means is not a critique to what you do. I really enjoy it for both reasons ( gear and the piece itself)...
what cassette recorder are you using to record? I want to record my synths to cassette but I'm having a hard time finding a recorder that records audio at a high enough quality for music rather than just voice
all there really is on eBay that's intended for music is 4 tracks but I already have a volca mixer that I use, I just want to record what comes out of it on one track
this is a nice one, sounds great, although i have my fair share of nice music gear you've got a few on my wishlist right there :-) how do you find the Bam compared to usual reverbs?
Just listening again and it reminds me of the track at 19 minutes in on the KLF Space album. Those low end pads. :) th-cam.com/video/DVc6bltUL1I/w-d-xo.html

i often come back to this tune. really lovely.
absolutely wonderful. Very Hypnotic.
love that poignant mlr fadeout at the end! Beautiful
This is so nice man! really such a full piece yet with so little tools..... really awesome
Little Ambient Machine Thank you very much!
cool _ merci pour ce moment
Really excited to see you on the norns forum! Love your vids
Thank you, Adam. I‘ve been on the forum for quite a while. It‘s a lovely place.
What an amazing set up and fantastic track. Magical stuff indeed :)
Gorgeous. I really love this setup!
Adnan Alsannaa Thanks so much. It's a super setup. Very fast to come up with ideas.
This sounds good! Lovely setup too! 😍
That is a cool setup! - And it sounds awesome :)
Pmd420? That's a beautiful machine. Good stuff, used to listen too all your stuff back in 2011ish. Glad to see you're still making beautiful music.
Thanks! I remember your name :) Marantz is a PMD430.
@@JoggingHouse awesome! What's the difference between the two? I've always wanted to pick one up.
@@atetraxx I'm not sure what the exact differences are. The 430 is the newer version.
Wow, that made my morning :)
The Soft Fleet That‘s wonderful. Thank you!
Damn this makes me happy!
:)
Thank you for sharing this, I love it!
jemgel My pleasure. Very glad you enjoy it.
this is straight heat
Mcqueen Adams Thank you!
Lovely stuff. Subbed!
So nice!!!
heymebaan Thank you!
Really making me want a Norns.
Gordon Ryan It‘s a fun little box.
oh god, yet another talented musician to subscribe to...
no complaints here!
Teenage Operator Thanks for tagging along. Hope you‘ll enjoy the (slow and comfy) ride.

Soothing sounds;)

Hark Madley Thank you. I was monitoring the input. The tape has too much delay to make a decent perfomance.
I’m so bad at my op1.. really just want to make some ambient sounds but it always sounds so clinky
Me too...
resampling and pitching down has always helped me in the past. really low bpms with the sequencers and some randomization or lfo's really do wonders
Very cool!
BoBeats Thank you! 🙏
Do you record to tape for the sound you get or for the ceremony, tactile enjoyment? Or both? And then how do you get the audio back onto your computer? Or do you record to tape and digitally at the same time?
Lovely sounds. Ordering the Norns in a few days.
After recording to tape, I rewind it and play it into the computer. I like to record analog because it is simple and fun. And I also like the sound.
Jogging House I’m very tempted to buy a cheap dictaphone for that very analogue sound. You’ve inspired me to give it a go.
Just lovely!
MySecretMachine Thanks so much for always listening!
Do you spend all day playing your own tapes back to yourself. You must have a massive fuckin collection!! Love this
Ha! I spend all day making new music to share :) Thanks.
Still loving this piece. Is it available anywhere for purchase??
Karim Sharif Thank you! I'm afraid it is not part of any release. Somehow it never fit into something I put together.

@@karimsharif3681 Yes, it controls start and endpoints of the loop. The script is called MLR. I haven't used it since I made this track.

Veselin Tenev It would way less views without the gear mentioned, sadly. It is the price I have to pay to get my music heard.
Gorgeous ! What is the script on the norns ?
Thanks! It's MLR.
I really have to find a Norns

It‘s a Marantz PMD430.
this is a nice one, sounds great, although i have my fair share of nice music gear you've got a few on my wishlist right there :-) how do you find the Bam compared to usual reverbs?
Nuclear Whale Thank you. I really like Bam. It sounds very warm and organic. But it is also my only reverb, so I can't really compare.
Where is the original pad sound that begins the video coming from?
Matthew Mullen It‘s my own sound. I make all sounds in my music myself.
Ah yeah I thought so i was just wondering if it was coming from the OP-1 specifically
Matthew Mullen The pads is coming from norns but was recorded from the OP-1. I uses the OP-1‘s sampler engine playing a chord from a mono synth drone.
Thank you :) Love the track
Cool. What script are you using on the Norns?
Paul Tyrrell This is MLR
really nice sound . what is the first box you touched ?
LerLoons Thanks. It‘s a Monome Norns.
Is there anything u can do about the vid occasionally going out of sync? Seems like it might be due to the tape warblers...
Are you running your tracks through a blank audio cassette for the hiss?
I am recording onto the tape.
Hello my dude, what cassette recorder is this?
Marantz CP430
What's that pad with the lights?
fuckin sweet bro
Just listening again and it reminds me of the track at 19 minutes in on the KLF Space album. Those low end pads. :)

Planning to use thermae in octophony or something?
Definitely looking forward to Thermae.
Most anticipated pedal, the demos are so good!
