  • Back in 2019 I got the chance to hang out with Austin (r beny) after his live performance at the event Velocity the night before. It seemed apt that got the cameras out, had a chat and went through his artistic approach, preparations, patching and had a full rig rundown while we were at it.

    I really love how humble and kind he is. He seems like such a good person and it comes through the sounds he makes - so much love and feeling. Love this guy

      He’s always been so very kind in the comments … his music is sublime 👏🏼

    Makes so much sense that the Summit is all over this. I bought a Summit almost sheerly on the character of r beny's custom ambient patches... It's a VIBE.

    For me, that gave great insight into the overall rig flow of my favourite artist. Many thanks to my favourite modsplainer, divkid ftw! For me, r beny was probably the person that inspired me to get into modular. And divkid, omri cohen and others helped me understand it much more easily than I would have, on my own. A couple of years in, and you guys are still my favourites.

    Nice editing, Ben! Love hearing r bent get a chance to explain his artistic process and having the infographics and performance artfully intertwined.

    He's the person who made me start the modular and ambient path. Love his albums, and that characteristic sound he gets from any instrument... Thanks for this interview, Ben!

      absolutely a real gem that I don't take for granted having people like Austin share these things so openly with me for others to see too.

    I like not using clock. Sequencers are plenty. If I did not want to share my secrets, I would talk in the language he uses. 😏🥳 But a fine visit.

    • @aeropilot4419
      @aeropilot4419 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, it seems like we’re all to easily slaved to the clock … it’s certainly one way of composing, tho I like the idea of a floating ambience too … not having a rigid tempo but a constantly evolving one is a nice change 🙂

    Awesome rundown, thank you guys so much! What a shame it seemed like you were under a bit of time pressure, I could easily see a much longer version of this kinda talk. Still turned out great though!

    • @DivKid
      @DivKid  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah we thought we could use a space that apparently we couldn't. The guy at the venue was a massive ass and kept been rude about it.

      @@DivKid damn that sucks. At least you still got an interesting conversation and nice video out of it. Learned a lot from Austin's way of setting up his rig, super helpful 🙏

    I would like to see and hear an interwiev with Craig Tattersall aka The Humble Bee. I am also sure that he can tell us A LOT about tape processing and ambient/experimental stuff. Pls, somehow?

      it's part of his performance, specifically the quick one we shot for this video. Although there's an uncut version (8-9 minutes) of that for my Patreon supporters exclusively for them. But it's from the actual performance he gave at Velocity 2019, you can watch that in full here - th-cam.com/video/h2X9_OaRKFQ/w-d-xo.html
