Thank you Bo for the invitation it was a lot of fun making this video, and to everyone watching I hope you enjoy it as well. Feel free to ask questions about my patch if you have any! Xx 🤗🤗Andrea
This was fantastic! Really inspiring and Andrea is a wonderful teacher,I’m could listen to her for ours. I’m going to have a go at recreating this with my modular tonight 🙂
Hi Bo and Andrea. Thanks a lot for this video. As a long time Eurorack user myself, it is always very inspiring to see how other artists uses there Euroracks to make music.😊👍
Hi Jorgen, thank you and great that you get inspired by it. I also experience the same with other artists. The synth community is such a great place! 🤗🤗
Really loved this video @BoBeats and @AndreaCichecki. I've been learning modular synthesis for the past year or so and it's so cool to watch how others put a patch together. Modular is so endless and there is always more to learn. I hope to see more videos like this. It's both informative and inspiring. Beautiful work all around!
Wow amazing patching tutorial, really appreciate that you share your knowledge Andrea. I love that composition very much. Thank you very much BoBeats & Andrea
As soon as you said "Andrea" I knew I was listening to a fellow Dutch synth nerd :) This was a nice look in your sound kitchen, thank you Bo for inviting here.
@@rmanpojo8485 Hi, dit jaar nog niet, maar ik ben bezig om een live set te maken van mijn album, dus hopelijk volgend jaar. Ik heb gehoord van het Dutch mod fest, maar ben er nog niet geweest. Is het leuk?
This was truly beautiful and insightful! Thanks for sharing, Andrea! btw. funny, just yesterday I thought if the Blofeld could be some useful extension to my Eurorack. It sounds fantastic. How happy are you with it? Are there any other synths or modules you are thinking about for Leads and Pads?
Thank you! I love the Blofeld, you can make so many different sounds with it, and it's reliable. I still have a wishlist, I would love a Dave Smith Prophet or a Waldorf Iridium. But for now, I stay with the Blofeld. 😊
Very nice! My mother is very intimidated by *Modular Synthesis* I explained it's no different than the *Quilt making* she does, essentially *Quilting* is a method of stitching layers of material together, _(We connect layers of modules together)._ Although there are some variations _(as with modular),_ a quilt usually means a cover made of two layers of fabric, with a layer of padding, _(we layer the fabric of our sounds with pads in Modular Synthesis to produce this cover)._ in between all this, it's held together by lines of stitching, _(as with modulars; they're held together by the stitching of cables)._ The stitches are usually based on a pattern or design, _(as with modular, we base stitching them together, with a particular pattern or design in mind)._ The final product of a quilt is based on this method, and so is the musical end result of modular synthesis... Suddenly It clicked, and the look on my mom's face recovered from intimidation and confusion, as she understood for the first time; what modular synthesis is truly all about. If more women decide to take up modular synthesis, us men are in trouble, women are fantastic at it! 🤩
@hillblocksview Hi, what a great explanation of it! I'm happy to hear she understands it a bit better now. Indeed, it's building layers of sounds and connecting them with each other. I always think like that as well when I compose the songs. 🤗
I have found that no woman wants an explanation of how something works, especially my mom. However, I have to give long explanations to these women of what I do, when I'm not around them. 😎
Start with a basic setup - Sequencer>VCO>VCF>VCA and an Envelope Generator. Behringer's System 100 modules are a good place to start. You can use an open frame rack with a power supply module or something like the Cre8Audio NiftyCase.
@@DannyO-j4q noted w thanks 🙏. I look them up. I hv been trying to find a comprehensive tutorial on youtube. But usually it starts off slow n nice then suddenly they go into this Flash mode and leave me in the dust 😁
@talktalk4503 You can also try VCV rack, which is virtual software and can be very helpful to try first patches. The person who helped me a lot with his tutorials and classes is Monotrail Tech Talk. He is very calm in explaining patches as well.
Beautiful and soothing, and explained very well. Sometimes I think it would be nice to try this, but then again I failed my european modular license 3 times in a row. ;-)
@@mr_floydst Thank you so much! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the video. I stopped and restarted many times with modular synthesis. Only the last two years things made a 'click'. 😅😅
Indeed Almost 😉, sadly the video would get way to long, but I tune my oscillators to middle C with the Hermod + (and I use a Midi keyboard connected to the Hermod) and in between I check tuning with a Korg pocket tuner as well. I use clear oscillators tones like a sine wave and no FX or filter modulation to keep a pure frequency tone. The sequences I programm and play into Hermod with a midi keyboard but you also can use the pads on the Hermod itself. I hope this info helps a bit
It's interesting, but please don't go too deep into modular videos. Often I watch a modular video and think 'who is the audience for this who has all this same/ similar gear and doesn't yet know how to use it?'.
Thank you Bo for the invitation it was a lot of fun making this video, and to everyone watching I hope you enjoy it as well. Feel free to ask questions about my patch if you have any! Xx 🤗🤗Andrea

Beautifull textures and ambiance. Thanks Andrea! Thanks Bo!
@BobbyLachapelle Thank you, Bobby, for watching the video. 🤗
If I had half of your synth knowledge I would be blessed! Thank you Andrea !
@petercarrington948 It took a long time for me as well 😉 but I learned everything step by step, trying to be patient and still learning a lot! 😅
Hier heb ik enorm van genoten. Dankjewel Andrea!
Wat geweldig om te horen! Dankjewel.🤗
Beautiful track.
Thank you! 🤗
THAT Was BITCHIN' Andrea -Thanx SO MUCH 4 The Inspiration!😇🦋✨👽
wow!!!! this is incredible. She is so good at what she does. very inspiring.

In this part of the world is winter, but I'm enjoying the summer of synths. Great performance, great video, cheers!

where can i listen to your at least one track for free?
...if only someone would make a compact Ambient synthesizer, and perhaps color it blue...hmmmm, i wonder if such a thing exist? 🤔
I'm imagining .... Proton! 😅
Wasn't really "from scratch!" We never saw the sequence construction or the tuning of the oscillators! ALMOST from scratch though!
Indeed Almost 😉, sadly the video would get way to long, but I tune my oscillators to middle C with the Hermod + (and I use a Midi keyboard connected to the Hermod) and in between I check tuning with a Korg pocket tuner as well. I use clear oscillators tones like a sine wave and no FX or filter modulation to keep a pure frequency tone. The sequences I programm and play into Hermod with a midi keyboard but you also can use the pads on the Hermod itself. I hope this info helps a bit
I am to blame as I wanted to keep the video focused on the modular workflow rather than composition.
@@BoBeats Still a banger of a video! Please do more like this!!
It's interesting, but please don't go too deep into modular videos. Often I watch a modular video and think 'who is the audience for this who has all this same/ similar gear and doesn't yet know how to use it?'.
There’s a lot more of us than you think…
