This performance is the first in a series of (so far) 5 live rehearsal performances filmed and recorded across 2 days. Two of my friends and colleagues helped me out with this process, so a big thanks to Raf and Ricky. We’re discussing moving this forward… 🎧💯
Hello there 👋 😃 Thank you very much! I’m very pleased you enjoyed this and welcome to my channel… 🙏🏻 I hope you’ll consider looking at some of my other videos or dropping in again 😎👍
Maurizio!! Thank you my friend 🙏🏻 yeah they sound like crying of despair don’t they… or hints toward that….. or does it? 🤔😂 I’m glad you like this mate… there’s 4 more of these videos being uploaded over the next two weeks… an uploading boost 💪😃
Hi again mate! Thanks for continuing to support me and watch what I’m doing it’s really appreciated 🙏🏻 Yes it certainly is a beast isn’t it… I blooming love it. Still paying it off… I’m glad you liked the visuals too. My friends and work colleagues Ricky and Raf and also a young lad called James took the lead of the visuals in this and the next four live rehearsal videos and I’m really happy with how they went… it’s all in preparation for playing live publicly quite soon
Sam! Thank you so much... and you were there to see some of it... or one of the performances weren't you... I love the ongoing support that you always give mate thank you 🙏
To say this is a rehearsal it’s top quality bro. And another thing, I wouldn’t like to go down that cellar 😂 some scary, weird shit down there by the sounds of it lol. Well done to Raf, Ricky and James that visual display was amazing. The lighting fx were spot on and loved the creativity behind some of the shots. Brilliant production all round 👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you very much bro! 💜 It's coming together live now... Just need to start piecing together sets and I'll be ready to go... Yeah the old Cellar in my parents house was really creepy... There was something about it. Those Lee Mount terraced houses hold some dark energies I'm sure of it... Some of them more than others. Yeah they all did a great job with the visuals and camera work... it allowed me to totally focus on the music in the moment. I just need to convince them to come with me to gig with the same gear.... 😉 I've already dropped the hint... and shall keep doing so and see what they say 🤣
@@rickhopkinson haha well hopefully you can all arrange a gig somewhere and bring it all together whilst live streaming too… free publicity for the venue and yourselves 😉
@@Kevrill Yes! Absolutely 👍 💯 it’ll be ace playing with similar visuals and other ideas etc… very very soon I’ll be working out our collaboration too bro!! Can’t wait to upload it and send you something over to work on 🤩❤️
Awesome sounds fella 👍The 'Deluxe' uh? 2 in 1 can't be wrong! I have the desktop but never thought of sounds likes these. I know I can use a stepped LFO to sequence other OSC's along with a drone, but sadly no touch strip for pitch & modulation. Sorry I never subbed before, but I got u now 🙂 The Visuals looked great , kinda looked like you getting sucked into a Black Hole. My only wish was to see your Macro page from above, but that's the nerd in me wanting to know your magic sound. Keep it up and all the best dude! Thanks for the mention too ❤
Hi mate I thank you very much for that it means a lot to me genuinely… Yeah it’s a great synth engine isn’t it and yeah I feel very grateful to have the deluxe. I’m half way to paying it off Although for what you get, I think it’s lower priced than quite a few other alternatives so happy days. Some people feel the touch strip is gimmicky, but I use it a lot… as you’ve already seen Oh don’t worry I’m very new to the game (committed to myself to be consistent last September)… but I’m seriously really pleased you’ve subbed and I’m doing something you like mate. Haha yeah I get you regarding the black hole… ah yeah, today I finished the 4th & 5th rehearsal video for uploading, but the next one I do I’ll try to remember to do or include a macro screen angle for you. I build most of the sounds that I play with, but in this case, I’ll be honest, I altered a factory sound and also played it about 3 octaves lower… gives it a totally different vibe. I’ll definitely keep going mate and you do too… let’s keep in touch if you want You’re very welcome about the mention… you’ve helped me before with valuable info specifically re the 2500 modules. I’ll check which factory sound it was that I altered and you might have it on your Desktop version!
Just checked the sound I altered and used... Its patch A116 Bckgrnder Pad AR I first used it on this recording th-cam.com/video/yWT-ahVDL0M/w-d-xo.htmlsi=KFYngUsEzOznk9i5 And that was the first thing I played on it at Christmas as instantly fell in love with it!
@@rickhopkinson I think the patch may be exclusive to Deluxe as there are no patches made by AR in mine. Anyhoo, I am seriously considering an MPE controller for it now as the pads on it (albeit polyAFT) are quite tricky to press at times and not so subtle. It just doesn't feel like a keyboard at all. Also, No shame in using presets, so many legendary songs use them. I do it with my Prophet 6 mostly. I hope to do a proper livestream on YT one day, but it will be me just exploring the synths mainly I think. Yes, a view of the Macro page is always helpful, but most often it's great to twist knobs till u come across what your trying to find & it opens up a whole new world of tone 🤪 I look forward to more of you & your friends artwork. Thank you for sharing 👍🙂
Hi mate, ah I thought all the ‘single’ patches would have been duplicates… that’s a pity. Would you like me to take some pictures of all the settings in the macro screen so you can maybe replicate the sound? I don’t mind doing that for you if you want. An MPE controller would be great… I’ve not delved into that arena (yet 😂) I think a live stream of you showing your setup etc would be interesting. I loved one of your drone videos showing the 2500 modules being controlled on a really slow pitch lfo controlled in another cabinet next to it. I think the controlling module was the Ochd. That video put the module on my radar 👍😎 Thanks so much mate, you’re very welcome and I hope you’ll be happy with what’s to come in the uploads… and I hope you’ll consider looking at some of what’s already on my channel… I’d value your feedback 🙏🏻🎧👍
@@rickhopkinson Yea mate, some pics on the patch would be ace, screenshots of the OSC's used, any Mutants and of course the Marcros & Mod Matrix if any. I felt proper inspired afterward. I haven't done much with the Hydrasynth yet as regards to sound design, but we know it's potential right! Been so busy with my house lately, but I'm gonna deep dive your channel when I'm off work for 2 weeks soon & soak up the ambiance (i.e get some beers, some smoke & explore sound) 🤪 Can't wait. I see you are on Bandcamp too, I'll be checking that too. 🙂👍 Thank you Rich ❤
