- Welcome to this sound bath of improvised minimal modular sonic exploration. This performance was live at the Chapel in Seattle where Modular Seattle and Modular Nights hold performances and this specific event was a warm up to the 2019 Velocity event.
Visuals were by Chris Barth of allotrope ijk. bit.ly/allotro...
This system was quickly put together in the days leading up to the surprise performance with modules, case and cables borrowed from Bradley Millington (Modular Seattle) and David Pawlan (Wabisabi). A huge thanks to them for facilitating and encouraging a performance on a new system and for being so awesome with me pulling modules out of their set ups to do this. I used the same system for my talk and presentation at Velocity as well as for another performance up mount Rainier (video on that soon).
If you’d like a full PDF run down of the set up, patching, intentions, modules used, my ‘zonal’ approach and more. You can support my work on Patreon and gain access to this PDF and other exclusive content. Here - bit.ly/DK-patreon
The ideas of a my 'zonal’ approach to a Eurorack performance system was discussed with examples in the Esoteric Modulation podcast here - bit.ly/EM008 . I’ve also provided a (free) resource going through my own personal iteration of this case and set up with my ‘cosmic space case’ that you can read through here - bit.ly/DivKidLi...

Said in Hainbach accent, "Hello Divkid, good to have you back."
Excellent Ben, and extra points for anyone who can sit cross-legged on the floor for more than 15 minutes without getting cramp!
How about just being able to get back UP! 🤨😏😉😁😎
@@markschweter6371 that's another 30 minute video, only available to his Patreons 🤣
@@RobinRimbaudScanner Well, just watching him leaning over the case makes my back hurt! 😧
@@markschweter6371 and just think of the sacrifices that Ben's makes for us all!
If you get a cramp because of sitting cross-legged for 15 minutes, you need to start exercising and taking care of your body now. Don't wait until it's too late man.
Okay…
You got me interested in modular now.
Amazing stuff!
Such a good night. Still remember setting it up and meeting you in person. Greta space, great people and amazing visuals
thanks, was great to meet too. We chatted more outside the substation though if I remember rightly, speaking of our love for the Coma Reactor delay :)
That whole trip was fantastic, I'd love to be able to come out there again.
Visuals were Chris Barth of allotrope ijk
thanks Thomas, added that info to the description.
@@DivKid thanks!
blown away by the variety of sounds you got from this one patch. you moved it along like every 90-120 seconds.. that's insane. gorgous mix of gritty noise and beds of chords.
Thanks a lot! That was definitely the goal with how I was approaching performing live and improvising around more minimal ambient stuff. Bit daunting on a rig of various people's modules that weren't my own but I was had fun with it.
@@DivKid Yeah, just listened to the EM podcast where you explained the setup and with sound examples. Such a simple idea but so powerful in execution.. Really miss your and Eds talks but totally understand how busy life gets. Cheers for all the time invested in the community over the years.
appreciate that thank you, it's been a and continues to be a lovely thing to be part of. I was chatting to Ed recently and there's a lot in those episodes that I think could be shared further and sort of re used as people find it and realise they missed it all. It's not likely that we'll get anything new going though but ideas always fly around when we chat.
What a nice surprise!
Actually get to see Ben twiddl'n knobs, push'n buttons, make'n them electrons F_L_O_W !
Seattle was glad to have you as a visitor, Ben … please come back sometime 🤗
This is pretty special. A big kudos to you Ben!
Awesome. Would love to see more live DivKid on the modular
These types of performances do not happen enough
Really lovely, Ben. Would definitely love to hear some more of your performances.
I started listening to this on my phone and quickly realised my error and ventured to the studio!
Really cool, reminds me of some early The Orb!
This all works so well. The visuals by Chris are captivating, working well with the jam. I can only be impressed with your skill with a new case. This has an experimental, Eurythmics vibe to it. Thanks well done all. I'll keep my eye open for live events at The Chapel.
Really enjoyed the space in the performance, got a chance to listen , enjoy and reflect thanks so much
Wow, those Divkid panels really do make a difference. This is incredible, more please!
Your musical mind always shines through whatever tools you choose. This is great, thank you for posting! 👌✨
every time is crazy texture with you div :) i'm really happy to see you video
Bravo DivKid ! Fenomenal ! Excellent ! Far Far Out Man ! 😘
Wonderful. Beautiful. Expansive. Touching. Makes my heart glow.
Damn bro you got me all geeked out - amazing work and so refreshing from I am accustomed to listening to at the moment. Ryuichi Sakamoto - cheers
thank you, really appreciate that.
Excellent performance and soundscape !
This is lovely Ben.
Very nice 😊👍 Ethereal moments
nice visuals, too and thank you for sharing all the info in the description. loving the lush chords!
Nice performance Ben!
Really nice indeed, love this type of music, and even more impressed when it's improvised too!
Beautiful Ben
Beautiful performance!
I've been listening to the first Popol Vuh album quite a bit recently, this reminds me of that. good stuff
its criminal how unknown he is... some of the greatest soundtracks in cinema history.
Lovely Ben, very very nice. And great to see you are a floor person too! Honestly, I can't imagine playing a modular on a desk :)
Nice!
Love it!
Fantastic Stuff Ben! Such an inspiration!
absolutely loving this
great stuff mate
brave stuff preforming on another's rig. Then again you know everything about every module. Found this looking for a generative modular tutorial made by you. You've done two interviews with Ann Annie; no doubt this was brushed upon. Is there a deep dive ONLY about generative y'all or you have done as that being the sole/soul focus. Nice sounds here.
Awesome set, Ben. This would have been excellent to see live while you were over here, I got the chance to see you perform / talk at the substation later that week though!
Great performance!
Some sublime textures within this improvisation Ben, nicely done considering it's not your own rig.
- Hoping all is well in your world
love to ALL, feel no hate
what do you mean? every rig is your rig!!! specially if you are talking about Ben ahahah
Beautiful sounds and amazing the fact the setup was new to you. Really cool visuals too. Great work!
Nice :)
Beautiful. More of your original music would be welcome. And I must tip my hat to you because my back would be killing me after just a few minutes!
Lovely!
Cool (graphics as well)
I love the vdieo synthesis going on. I see they were made by Chris Barth, do you know if he was using something like the hypno?
Lovely textures Ben! Im interested in that voicing at 8:59 resonant stabs. Whats that!? :-)
This is great!!
Lovely:)
Yeah Ben!
Hey! Really Nice! Any idea of the tools used to generate those images?
Most of the effects are post processing shaders in a unity 3D scene
supurb
What about the video? Who did that?
Hi Jed, that's in the video description that was allotrope ijk.
You can find them at instagram.com/allotropeijk/?hl=en & th-cam.com/channels/hDPp6xI-wR9WXELhFqCNpg.html
I’l never understand the eurorack performance on the floor thing. Get the man a chair and a table. I wouldn’t do it. Nope.
