The best part about live jamming is the amazing community I have found. I draw inspiration from all of you doing the same. Thanks for the video and view on how you are moving forward.
I could talk about this topic for HOURS. KiNK was a huge influence for me. Like you said, develop a palette and off you go. I've played 3 hour techno sets with just modular, 30 minute downtempo sets with just Zaquencer and a Blofeld in coffee shops, and more. I love the 'edge of my seat' vibe of an improvisational set.
I remember in one of Ricky Tinez's live set prep videos, he said something to the effect of 'don't give yourself too much to do' and I live by that. When performing live, you want the bumpers on the lane so you have more hits than misses. Know your instruments and lean into patterns that feel natural. Your palette isn't just about sound. Your palette should include reliable rhythmic patterns too.
I too have a few people I love to watch live perform, most of them in their own little hutch. The key I always hear when I ask is that they know their equipment and software very well. It is not about having the popular gear but more about having pieces of a puzzle fit well and under your control, which can only be done by doing it a lot. I am happy with your direction and wish you a lot a fun and adrenaline once the pieces start to fall in place.
With the touch screen I would consider the iPad tactile. Basically, it can be a surface controller and instrument in one device. Some of us use software modular and live host setups to get the flexibility. It’s all about the controller and mapping. Using a wind controller involves your mouth, breathing/phrasing, and both hands. So it’s very engaging from a physical perspective. I think virtual modular has so many advantages, at least for what I do.
Clicked the vid just to see your one-level semi-circle setup that I noticed in your banner. I have my synths on a three tier stand and am only realizing now that that's an issue for a 57 year-old like myself. Standing for too long is a problem. So I'll be taking tips and clues from your setup when adjusting my to a single level setup.
Working on a mobile studio type deal, basically just a mini pc, with multiple touchscreens, built in audio interface, then if i can figure it out i want it to have a modular system so you can pop in a midi controller, or midi mixer, whatever.

Nice! I'm aiming for the same when life calms down a bit. Learning techniques for live performance strikes me as a great way to just... have... fun.
@@PaulBreitzmann rooting for you! Yes, fun. Always.

@@rayderrich thank you Mr. Rich. I believe there are other alternatives for adrenaline than the checkout button 🤣

@@thebreathalyzer that’s the great thing. There’s something for all of us to have fun with. Thanks for sharing.

@@taosophymusic I wish there was a one sized fits all. Just rearranged again 😂 I hope you find what works best for you.
@@krazywabbit 😁thanks. My back is screaming for me to one-level my setup.
Thank you for the video, this is a great topic…approaching live performance and how you set up your “rig”.
@@thebreathalyzer thank you for stopping by. Constantly learning while trying to make it fun.

Ooh, nice 🎉

I'm sure you've said this in another video, but what desk do you have?
@@eavolski from IKEA. I’d have to look up the brands. Alex drawers I think. Can’t recall the desk name. Very happy with. I’ve had it since 2020.
