The deadpan delivery on "Hopefully I know what I'm doing" just slayed me 😆
Thorsten must have an amazing memory for such a complex setup to be replicated night after night. I’ve been listening to TD for about 40 years. Always find their music interesting.
"Thorsten must have an amazing memory for such a complex setup to be replicated night after night."
....and good Roadies of course
I've seen Thorsten in lots of issues of Musotalk, a german youtube channel for (mostly) electronic musicians and found him always being a very nice guy, very sympathetic, never snobby and very musical. Nice to see him in sonicstate showing his rig!
Yes, he is.
My Män!!!! Also wach the Musotalk Podcasts and I regularly see him there. I dig his humor and insights he gives. Seems to be a nice dude!!!
He could be a nice Sonicstate guest on a regular basis indeed. Could also imagine Jörg Schaaf as someone who understands even building and selling Synthesizers.
I met him in Reykjavik. Nice down to earth guy.
Old TD fans who gave up on the band in the 1990s and early 2000s need to come back. The current lineup and work of TD is to me the best they have been in many, many years. Like, going back to Chris Franke, or even Peter Baumann. Yes, I realize that's saying a lot. But give them a listen, especially the Sessions works, which harkens back to when Froese, Franke and Baumann would virtually improvise entire shows in the 1970s and the "Tangerine Trees" bootlegs.
Thx for the tip. I'd indeed switched off on the modern TD work, myself coming from the Virgin years, and not really liking most of that they've done afterwards. I'll give the more recent work a listen.
@phil Anderson I agree the middle "girly* years went very limp, but in the mid 2000s TD came back to life. I sometimes wonder if Jerome left because things had changed (plus he and his dad found it difficult to work together, in the shadow of his father). Jerome's album Neptunes is a wonderful example of what he is capable of in his own right. For me I feel there was a marked turn when Ulrich joined and brought new fire and subtlety, his own style is very organic. Ulrich had been a huge fan of TD for many years before joining. I feel Thorsten is the right captain now,after all he's been with TD for a very long time. And Paul Frick has also added a new element that I like, listen to Raum which although definitely very modern, has wonderful depth. I love Hoshimo's violin work, but she looks so uncomfortable live on stage.
Agree 100%. Back to the future.
Saw this tour live in Cambridge.. Honoured!!! was absolutely amazing
This made my day - the display of easy confidence about the whats and the whys was inspiring, as well as the "no snobbery" observation. Thanks for this.
Good to see Thorsten carrying this torch into the future!
I've been a TD fan since my early teens, and I'm in my early sixties now, and I just have to say that Thorsten Quaeschning's handling of TD since the death of Edgar has been most admirable.
When I wasn't even 20, I listened to TD, today I'm almost 60 and I still listen to them, it must be something like love, even the concert visits and LP's and CD's.....
Love love lovely Tangerine Dream!!!
Have been a great fan, since the first album :-)
So cool to get a tour of the synth system.
Thanks very much for sharing this!
I like that T.D. uses a mix of everything that works and is not dismissive about only using this or that (AKA only using real hardware, no software synths, etc.) I often find myself just wanting to use hardware only, and I need to get over the fact that other means such as computers and soft synths can be very helpful in plenty of situations. After all, aren't most synths just mini standalone chips on PCBs anyway?
Thorsten is a great keyboardist and he is very knowledgeable on how the music works.
Thank you all. That was brilliant 💗
Thorsten is a great keyboardist of Tangerine Dream. And is very knowledgeable on how the music works.
This guy is absolutely capable and amazing. I could never remember all that stuff. A great legacy from TD.
That modular system has expanded rapidly, since he showed me it’s initial configuration in Berlin 2012.🙂
and only one of the modulars that he owns :) including the more recent Marienberg which was used on 'Continuum'
Band leader Thorsten Quaeschning wasn't even born until TD's 8th album was released... kinda funny. But cool that they keep the band going and very cool live-rig! Phaedra and Rubycon are some of my favourite TD albums! Cheers
By 1969 all of the founding members of TD had left bar Edgar. So technically nobody has ever heard the original line up or at least only a handful
@Martin Demsky doing music for dreary TV series like The Amazing Race
they are not keeping the band going. They are exploiting the name and legacy of TD by playing similar music and some covers. I've seen the classic lineup, when all of the originals leave it is no longer "the band", even if they were playing in the many line-ups. If you are confident in your music, pick an original name and put your music out to be judged on its own terms. Billy Preston couldn't tour as The Beatles.
I was attending the show in Maastricht yesterday night, and this video really helps to understand the way TD music is built. Thanks for that ! 👍
Thank you Gaz, pure gold ❤🔥Love On A Real Train is my all time favourite and is probably why I've watched Risky Business way too many times.
Thanks for uploading! Saw Tangerine Dream at Assembly Rooms, Edinburgh recently. Fantastic show, superb sound quality.

Since he was born, Tangerine Dream has been a sure fire way to relax my baby and help him off to sleep. Really interesting to see the rig up close and hear the process.
Helps me sleep every day , I’m 52
What a treat that was 🙂
I would not be able to play it cool. Well done sir. Thank you for the window into a master. Through Metamorphic Rock changed my life.
Just amazing! I am a huge fans since 40 years!
We were there to watch them
How timely, I just saw them in Camden last week and was wondering about some of the gear behind the row of keyboards. Nice one Gaz!
I was half expecting Gaz to reach into that bundle of patch cables, grab, pull and RUN!! 🤣🤣
That setup is amazing. Guy is a synth wizard
Thanks to all for this.... Lovely to learn how Thorsten puts all this together. 👍... Thoroughly enjoyed both Coventry (with Steve Rothery) and Cambridge on the current tour.
Mr. Quaeschning, what are the synth requirements for this tour? Quaeschning - "Yes please".
Bloody hell. You have to be so in tune with all your doing. I've been a massive fan for years. All those dials and buttons FFS I can't get my head around it.
The sorcerer soundtrack is my favourite ever, really out thete
thanks for the tour :)
Amazing! Thanks so much for this
Danm, when Battles come back to he UK Gaz should interview Ian Williams about his gear.
Sonic state is almost the only place to find electronic rig rundowns
Nice. I'd love to see them live. Nice interview, Gaz
Excellent tip with the tape over unneeded jacks
They’ve been superb on this tour - their best in 40 years imho
Bonkers video, even if I am 53, I discovered TD a few years ago, and been a great catching up!
Great video! Very inspiring to see the mix of different tech he uses.
Thorsten is always a force!
Delightful. Thank you both.
What a boss. FOUR Rings into Clouds.
muy bueno saludos desde TIJUANA
His setup has more items than the average music store. Impressive
Love the new album Raum, really loved the Sessions I to VII albums! Thanks for carrying on the TD sound and vision.
Thorsten saved Tangerine Dream. From 2005 onwards, whenever a new album was announced, my first thought would be "how much compositional input did Thorsten have?" And the more TQ compositions, the more excited I'd be. I feel Edgar's compositions lacked cojones towards the end.
Thanks for doing this! Saw them in Southampton on this tour was amazing!
Did they play older classics as well? Esp their movie scores? Anything?
@@buzzfunk Yea they did, Dolphin Dance & Kiew Mission! Also the Sorcerer theme..
@@buzzfunk each gig was slightly different, (some venues got unique tracks, Bristol got Rubycon for example). The end of each concert was a 30-minute semi-improvised track
Thanks for sharing. Wish I was there for the show.
Great thanx!
awesome work Gaz great bit of behind the scenes work
Nice 1 Gaz. What a treat!
Wonderful!
The true mad creator and his traveling lab great video and one complex stage rig loved the look behind the curtain.
Synthgasm !! 🤪
This was so great!
Even gaz has poshed up his hair for this interview
that i could listen for hours
Thank you. So nice.
Phaedra is one of my all time fave albums
Absolutely terrific album.
@@patsyparisi2620 Indeed. I recently updated a lovely reissue double Tangerine coloured vinyl remastered from original tapes, the second record includes different out-takes etc. Beautiful.
Yes, totally with you on Phaedra, but also Ruby Con is a wonderful and beautiful masterpiece.
Monster post! Thank you.
Great video and explanation from Thorsten, what a great artist.
Brilliant
Very interesting. I Saw them back in around 2007, still with mr. Froese, at the age of 17. It was really a trip. Altough a fan of mostly their earlier work, i find very interesting how the analog was complementaried by modern sounds, never losing the psychedelic Sonic exploration, That is Tangerine Dream.
It's not just the tools, it's knowing how to use them. And doing that live is quite an accomplishment. Of course, these guys have been doing it since the world began... :)
TD will always be my first love. Yes, we/ve grown older, and we/ve changed.
Please send someone over to my studio to sweep up my brains which have been blown all over the walls!!!🤩😎
Excellent video
Great hot tip. I wondered what it was with all that white paper/card on the back of Thorsten's synths.
Raum is the best TD album in decades
100%
Good to see ol' Rings into Clouds making an appearance!
Thorsten uses Rings, Clouds, Plaits, Elements & Tides
Huge T D Fan!❤❤❤
Super impressive set up!
He's such a nice guy! Great shows on this tour
Tangerine Dream uses Rings into Clouds, confirmed :-D
Mr. Thorsten. You're the best.
wow, so interesting to see this... fab tour this year, best ever

I saw them playing in Amsterdam tonight. Very nice! I keep wondering if they pull out all of the cables of the modular synth when they move the gear.
No, Thorsten has a flight case that covers all of the leads
@@AndyKing1963 very clever👍
TANGERINE USE THE APP AUM....ITS FANTASTIC HOW THIS SIMPLE BUT A LOT OF USE WAYS APP TRAVEL SO FAR IN THE INDUSTRY XD
I didn't think it was surprising to see him mix analog equipment with virtual, digital, and computers. It would be incredibly difficult to manage it all with just analog. He would have to carry a chicken on tour for a start :-)
So nice to see old school hands on ,seat of your pants, live sequencing /playing, rather than a Apple logo on the back of an macbook! 👍
hy plug-ins sequencers. Pretty sweet
Is the melody at around 1:40 from a specific song? I'd like to here more of it, it sounds awesome.
I saw them at Coventry Cathedral in 1975 and again last month. What a difference!!
Mind blown
Awesome
nice again Gaz, Thorsten seems like a decent guy to hang with
cool that they still do a lot if hands-on compared to Kraftwerk that basically phones in live performance these days (that one iPad concert overhead clip of Kraftwerk was classic)
TD forever :-)
the hot tip is scuffing lines you are not using .. mad brilliant
With LOVE from GERMANY ! ♥♥♥ AMAZING SETUP... just WOW... 😨👍😂😂😂
Question: every thing seems to be so interconnected, so what happens if an electronic component goes down or reboots during a live performance? Say one of the IPads glitches or spuriously reboots? Are there firewalls between some components before their signals get routed to the mixer(s)?
I wonder if Kandinsky had been alive he would have found a way of linking Tangerine Dream's tour equipment to digital art as he was very into art and sound.
Thats awesome, and Thorsten looks young considering they were around when I was a kid, and I am an old git these days.
Coooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool. Nothing more.
I think Stratosfear was probably the first album that really introduced the note "ratcheting" effect that is mentioned in this video. I love Stratosfear. Here is a video tutorial explaining how it's done:- th-cam.com/video/ntjE9EguxO0/w-d-xo.html
Sweet setup and nice rundown! 👌😎 Only recommendation I might suggest is for him to replace most of the straight patch cables with Tendrils right angle patch cables? 😁👍
That’s a serious live rig.
masters at work!
Nice! 😍👍
Nice!
wirklich interessant zu sehen wie die arbeiten
As someone once said, "rocket science music for rocket scientists"... There ain't no better.
4 rings into clouds.
talking about the stupidity of chickens! Almost pee'd myself when he said that! Great video! Thank you fir this one! This rig is waaaaaay beyond me and I'm a keyboard player.
Nice 👍 🙌🙌🙏🙏
