As a total hack musician, the incomprehensibility of this setup, the blinking lights and masses of cables, the wall of modules linked together, gives me a sense that I’ve encountered some benevolent entity existing within the hardware.
What if someone could hook up some generative music devices like this that just kept going for like 200 years. Put it in a cave somewhere or something and power it by a small nuclear core so a million years from now it's still going whether or not humans exist. This is what I'd like us to leave behind.
This music makes me think of how I might feel if I had no stressors in my life: No work, no modern responsibilities or worries from the world we live in, no pressures to be something I'm not. When I lie down at night in my bed and put this on, I feel like I am having a bit of time where I am finally allowed to sit for a minute and be human.

what live are you living then? all minutes are yours - take them. big hug.
@@melissarainchild sounds like a terrific name for a Solar Sail based ship, between the song and that name I might try that out as a 3D modeling project, thanks!
It made me smile to read "I have no idea what this patch will do...it's all generative" - i think you wouldn't have modular equipment like that if you would know how it would sound from the beginning. After playing electronic music for more than 20 years now i send my often very saturated ears to places like your channel where i could dicover new unheard tones - its that large calm space between my eardrums and the diaphragms of my headphones - and every time i came here im able to discover new spaces - new places to rest and to blank out the noisy life im in sometimes. Thank you for doing your research of audible science and sharing it with us
When I have parties at my home. I put this, or one of the others, on in my mixing/mastering studio, I have a giant, super comfortable, beanbag in there. I set the lighting to a cool blue and that's our chill out room. I just put State Azure on loop and it sounds brand new every time you walk in. With my Adam A7x and Adam 10 sub, it sounds so proper. It's like a sensory deprivation chamber for stress and heartache. People have broken down crying in there before, found healing surrounded by friends. These vids are a real gift to the world.
I was away from my desk for 5mins, had been listening to Carbon Based Lifeforms whilst working (soothes me) Took a call, put earphones back in and this had already popped up on autoplay, to say I'm pleasantly surprised is an understatement. Absolutely beautiful, liked and subscribed!
Synths to me, are like digital sirens. There something magical when synths generate barely a whisper through a huge reverb. It takes me someplace else. I now plan to learn all about synths and how they work, so I can build something like this. It’s crazy how many feelings a single sine wave can wake
AAS Multiphonics CV-1 Modular Synthesizer (on sale right now) is a VST version for modular synthesis, including generative sequencing. Just ordered it myself!
I love how slowly this evolves and remains familiar throughout. After listening for 30 minutes, you can still hear parts of the beginning in the sound, being comforting and familiar. Amazing music!
Excellent complement to your previous 'Folding Space' session, these generative pieces are awesome. Sounds like Vangelis and Eno had an acid trip together and produced a masterpiece!!
Found this and a couple of your other streams and queued them up on an evening where me (male early 30s) and a close friend of mine (female mid/late 20s) consumed a healthy dose of mushrooms (Panaeolus Cyanescens) and a moderate dose of MDMA. I'm not a stranger to these and similar substances at all, but this was one of the most introspective and beautiful experiences of my life so far. We sat and talked for hours, finally coming to the realization that we may have fallen in love with each other - we ended the session holding each other in our arms in front of the fire place where we finally fell asleep. Thank you for being a part of that and providing the soundtrack to our dreams.
I have very similar experience, what was planned as a meeting of two friends of opposite sex to try LSD for the first time and listen to electronic music, ended in relationship that lasts until now, and it's been almost exactly 10 years since that. Discovering unknown world of different senses in a mystical psychedelic state with another person is one of the most beatiful experiences one can have and from that love emerges. I can recommend intimate psychedelic trip with music to every two people in relationship that are confident enough about each other to be ready to fall in love that will last forever. This is extremely strong, beatiful, uncomparable experience that will change your life forever. Just do it with the right person.
@@MrScarabey Sorry for the late reply; I've been quite busy the last few weeks. So yeah, on to your question... To be honest, things are moving slowly - which is fine; we both wanted to make sure this was real and to do things the right way this time, unlike some of our past relationships. lol But yeah, we are together (exclusive / monogamous) and most importantly, we are both happy and still excited by each other and the prospect of a real future with one another.
I absolutely love this. The ambient lighting is gorgeous. The soundsystem with all of it's cables and flickering lights almost feels alive. In fact, it is.❤
everything expands everywhere in every point in the universe. hell, you're expanding right now ! but since everything does around you, it doesn't feel like it I guess ^^
Thanks for sharing. Wow...3 hours...some very harmonious asynchronous sequences playing off of each other and creating new patterns with some reverb and delay forming a wonderful ambient background. Happy Holidays and thanks for this sonic gift.
I'm now enthusiastically sharing this video around. It was the final piece that inspired me to build out and purchase my first modular setup. Now begins the lifelong exploration and experimentation with generative synthesis. Thanks so much for this
This gives me the same adrift feeling as Brian Eno's _Music For Airports_ (one of my all-time favs) which he had proclaimed was _essentially made by machines_. It's nice to be able to retreat to this cerebral landscape with my headphones to escape from life's chaos, especially in these times. Thanks for providing this getaway.
I love Brian Eno. I am a Flight Attendant, and I think THIS type of music should be played in our airports. I don't think the crackling noises would be good there, but definitely the rest. ❤
OMG, how I love those synthy brassy bass notes that punctuate the atmosphere of wonderous textures. I'm in absolute awe of the beauty you produce for us all to enjoy on many different levels. Thanks again, State Azure.
Okay, I’m half expecting a certain Bladerunner, a Mister Deckard to appear from off camera with a flashlight, inspecting an ancient bottle of Cogniac and snapping a photo of it just one moment before he drinks the last little bit of it.
This is, in my opinion, one of your master pieces. I know that the different modules play "on their own", but setting the whole thing up, choosing the different sounds, tweaking them just right, its just amazing. Brilliant work!
not to mention, "playing on their own" is what modulars are for. my friend would record it running for an hour and then just cut out the part he wanted. not going to name drop but an accomplished and respected bigger name.
This is astonishing stuff! I just sit here trying to mentally figure out the programming involved, and, well, failing. Not that it matters, as it is so wonderfully evocative of the season...a relaxing and at the same time engaging Christmas present for all. I hope that all of you, and especially our host, had a great Christmas, and will have a safe and joyful new year.
This is the music I dreamed of making (but didn't have the skills or means) after reading the description of the derelict spaceship generating music by monitoring the environment in Douglas Adam's Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.
@@sakuratradersjapan6251 I have been doing things with Steel Guitar, two loopers on random lengths, multiple delays, reverbs and a mixing desk to bring things in and out.
get vcv rack, its free, or Bitwig and start experimenting. its not that hard at all to make something like this. its most likely just random notes being quantised and triggered by some logic or /and probability. but steel guitar two loopers and multiple delays, it sounds like you are probably making stuff more complicated than this. seriously get vcv or Bitwig. Bitwig would also be great for recording and tweaking your steel guitar experiments.
Beautifully made - electronic textures and yet the tone and pace that gives it a natural 'organic' feel creating a sense of a real landscape, somewhere, sometime.
Generative music is incredibly fascinating to me - I understand enough about music theory and sound design that I want to start approaching it, but I still have so many uncertainties about the technical aspects. Listening to this, I'm curious about how and where random elements are introduced and sonically resolved, and how much of the sound design is just dialed in. Patches like this astonish me, how artists are able to break down musical ideas and concepts into a generative algorithm. Icy tones and lonely motifs are some of my favorite ideas to explore, and you've really captured an amazing instance of them. Great work :D
This is absolutely incredible. You made a very beautiful patch here. I could listen to this forever and the visual of your studio while this goes it’s gorgeous.
The forever time piece, built 1500 feet below the Atacama Desert, no vibation, consistent temperature, humidity, a consistent power source for 1.000.000.000.000 years. Generations can listen to this time piece.
Just started my shift a little while ago (I telecommute), working 12 am - 8 am. Will DEFINITELY enjoy ALL of this, with my 2nd cuppa Joe and a smoke ... :-)
Hi it’s Stacie! Beautiful song! I just love the sounds in the background! You can hear water and different things! I could fall asleep to this song! Amazing!
I think this is my favorite thing you've posted. I found it months ago in the middle of a blizzard and listened to it while watching the snow pile up. But....I keep coming back to it... even tho it's spring now ;)
I remember this scene in Babylon 5 where a person merged with the station, lots of wires coming from them going places, this reminds me of that, but the music is prettier.
Before I die, I will build a room with synths perpetually playing a generative song like this one. And it will stay there for my kids to come and listen to what I have never told them, because I never had the right words. And, one day, they will pull the cables out. And that will be the day my life stopped making sense, and they will go on and find their own meanings. And if, one day after they've pulled the cables out, they remember the tiniest piece of the "dad's music room", then my life today has a meaning. P. S. In real life, the youngest one - that little brat - has already pulled the cables out, and spilled her juice all over the place, so it's all sticky.
I can relate to that. My eldest was on my lap stabbing the keys of my Roland SH5 and laughing at sine waves and low pass filters; @ 15 mths old ( after he learned to walk, and dance to New Orders blue monday LOL )
THAT IS SO PATHETIC AND WEAK. I CAN'T BELIEVE A GROWN MAN WHO HAS CHILDREN COULD BE SO DEMORALIZED AND DEFEATED. IF YOU WANT TO GIVE YOUR LIFE MEANING THEN TEACH YOUR CHILDREN HOW TO BE STRONG MEN AND OBEDIENT WOMEN. AND OF COURSE YOU COULD ALWAYS TEACH THEM HOW TO ACTUALLY PLAY AN INSTRUMENT AND CREATE ACTUAL MUSIC INSTEAD OF JUST NAVAL GAZING WHILE THEY LET THE EQUIPMENT DO ALL THE PLAYING FOR THEM LIKE LISTENING TO AN OVERGROWN MUSIC BOX THAT JUST MAKES RANDOM NOISES WITHOUT ANY PATTERN OR COHERENT STRUCTURE OF ANY SORT. THAT GETS OLD SO FAST. ANYBODY WHO'S GOT ANY SENSE OF MUSIC AND TASTE WILL JUST LEAVE THE ROOM AFTER FIVE MINUTES.
@@DOOMJESUS Wow - that's really harsh and not in the spirit of this place at all. Also - DON'T SHOUT AT US IN UPPER CASE. IT MAKES YOU LOOK LIKE A TOTAL A$$H0LE, no matter what your point of view may be. BTW, this music isn't for everyone, but I (and I'm one of many) appreciate the skill and resulting outcome of this brilliant composer. Music doesn't need to fit a pre-defined box. Keep your mind open and aim to be kind.
@@DOOMJESUS Oh dear. I just looked at some "videos" on your channel and they explain a lot - most impressive were the 2 videos of Black bear in the darkest of night. Take care of yourself!
Just a beautiful, spare, minimalist piece. When it snowed here in Baltimore, MD a couple of weeks back, I turned off all of the lights, opened the blinds, started this video, and watched snowflakes fall. This is very much in the same vein as, say, Brian Eno's "Discreet Music" or "Thursday Afternoon" or "Ambient #4: On Land". I'm going to check out more of your videos.
Someone has some pretty cool stuff! I love it. Very inspirational! I'm going to get on my DAW tomorrow and *try* to create something of my own. My wife HATES my stuff, but I use it like a sound track with my bluetooth earphones all the time. KEEP IT UP!
I am not religious... but I am telling you, the universe is speaking through you. so relaxing and beautiful. I hope this is what they play as background music in the afterlife.
I’ve thought about googling and YouTubing “how is this done” for your self generative stuff.... and 2 things strike me - first - I don’t want to understand it, I just LOVE feeling it wash over me, so I’m not gonna try and understand the how of it all.... second - I wouldn’t understand even if I did try... so there is that too...
There is a very nice free software called VCV Rack which allows you to play with a modular synth on your computer. May I humbly suggest my TH-cam channel for tutorials on how to use it. It's quite fun and leads to a never ending journey of musical expression. Enjoy!
@@midnightsocean2689 I'm sure it took countless hours for him to patch this up and program an initial set of parameters..Not like you just plug a bunch of cables in and let it go...
My yt algorithm keeps bringing me back to one of your generativ modular sessions, and i don't even notice before 15min has gone. Ive just drifted and relaxed. Love this, and hoping for a even longer session, like 12 - 24 hours
And I'm sat here happy with my Mother-32 and DFAM but my God what a gorgeous setup. Lovely music just my style. You've earned yourself another subscriber.
I love this so much. I think/am pretty sure I have commented this already, but truly, what a wonderful work of art. So serene and calm and pleasant. Truly wonderful & I appreciate this upload greatly. Thankyou to the artist
What’s astonishing is the fact that, sound has evolved to speech, speech has evolved as well; so with everything just to put in nut shell. What will we call music in 100 years, how will speech be telepathic etc... I wish I could see the whole processes of evolution, But maybe just maybe we will come back from future and the human struggles will be “Rare “ the humanness of being like a child in the evolutionary process so young will be treasure like an old sports baseball card, or a rare antique car.. we will yearn back for the child like mannerisms, innocence, like when I take my son to something new and love seeing his expressions and reactions. Like the old gazing at kids playing.. we will be wanting to go back and miss what we lost......
I don't know how you've done it State Azure, but this is (like Folding Space before it) the PERFECT soundtrack to the Cyberpunk 2020 module I'll be running back-to back with that one. You're certainly on my wavelength. Wonderful music!
Hi State Azure: I listen to a lot of different types of ethnic / EDM / ambient music, and I must say this is the most amazing, entrancing piece I've ever heard. I've long had an interest in generating music in similar fashion, but haven't dug into it much yet. Your piece however, pushed me over the edge! I need to dive into this. Could you recommend any resources (websites, other videos, books, etc.) on how to do this with modular technology and/or analog / digital synth modules? Have you written up any tutorials or FAQs or have you found any that were useful to you and if so, would you please point me to them? Keep on moving forward as you're really on to something. Thanks for sharing all these videos! Peace and blessings, Donn
@@stateazure Eureka, I Found It! God bless Bandcamp! )) Now I can enjoy your wonderful music in even higher quality! Is there a biographic video on youtube? It would be great to learn, how you found your way to this technology and science. And, why did you choose this particular genre? To be honest, I rarely find modular synthesis being used for anything other than ambient soundscaping, or sampling for other genres (like Junkie XL does). Are there any other genre choices, or is this technology limited in certain ways to be applied in any other type of music (due to absence of a proper way to save patches, etc.)? Thank you! :)
kept listing to this while working, I like it a lot - I find it really easy to focus with this is playing. And it's varied enough, that I get a sense of time passsing slowly. I really like those organic sounds - like pebbles under water, and like rain falling in the distance
Beautiful and serene sounds, aesthetic/visual. The concept of self generative is very intriguing and opens so many philosophical, mystical and profound journeys in my mind. A moving frequency intelligence as with all systems in the universe. Your onto a wonderfully undefined idea here with so many avenues. Fascinating. Can we get a continually melding 120-130bpm 4x4 kick with acidic 303's and pads? Yours being almost AI would be an amazing evolution and addition to the rave and live modular performances still happening at free parties today. Love and respect.
As a total hack musician, the incomprehensibility of this setup, the blinking lights and masses of cables, the wall of modules linked together, gives me a sense that I’ve encountered some benevolent entity existing within the hardware.
My mom used to sing me this song when I was a kid.
:D
such are the circadian rhythms of life and love
Very funny
I know it’s a joke but there’s almost something profound about a mother singing gentle melodies and swells- at once digital and human
I believe this constitutes a failure of the Turing test.
What if someone could hook up some generative music devices like this that just kept going for like 200 years. Put it in a cave somewhere or something and power it by a small nuclear core so a million years from now it's still going whether or not humans exist. This is what I'd like us to leave behind.
Then, for once, maybe the de facto diplomatic stance would be one of peace; Galaxywide.☮️ ✌️. Just maybe.
That though its mind numbing man , gives me gbumps
What a kind thing to say! Great idea, lets! )
Send a Drone, literally und figuratively, into space with a small modular setup. A Satellite like the Voyagers ...

The forever time piece, built 1500 feet below the Atacama Desert, no vibation, consistent temperature, humidity, a consistent power source for 1.000.000.000.000 years. Generations can listen to this time piece.
This could easily be in an art gallery.
its cool that all these synths and wires look like what spaceships in the 80s sci fi movies look like all lights wires and panels such a cool style
Everything about this makes me smile.
Thank you for sharing what has become the soundtrack to the most peaceful sleep I’ve had in all my years.
Very beautiful! I just discovered this today (2 years after) but look forward to see and hear your other musical projects.
Thank you!
One year later and still experiencing this sound from another world 🌎 another dimension. A gateway to paradise 🌈🙏❤️🇬🇧❤️🙏🌈 Nov twenty two
Just started my shift a little while ago (I telecommute), working 12 am - 8 am. Will DEFINITELY enjoy ALL of this, with my 2nd cuppa Joe and a smoke ... :-)
Hi it’s Stacie! Beautiful song! I just love the sounds in the background! You can hear water and different things! I could fall asleep to this song! Amazing!
I think this is my favorite thing you've posted. I found it months ago in the middle of a blizzard and listened to it while watching the snow pile up. But....I keep coming back to it... even tho it's spring now ;)
Wow, thank you!
I just found this channel and I feel like I’m finally home. The sound is so right for me.
I remember this scene in Babylon 5 where a person merged with the station, lots of wires coming from them going places, this reminds me of that, but the music is prettier.
This melody is like Bladerunner, the rain, the rooftop scene with Roy Batty: priceless.
Before I die, I will build a room with synths perpetually playing a generative song like this one. And it will stay there for my kids to come and listen to what I have never told them, because I never had the right words. And, one day, they will pull the cables out. And that will be the day my life stopped making sense, and they will go on and find their own meanings. And if, one day after they've pulled the cables out, they remember the tiniest piece of the "dad's music room", then my life today has a meaning.
P. S. In real life, the youngest one - that little brat - has already pulled the cables out, and spilled her juice all over the place, so it's all sticky.
Amazing
I can relate to that. My eldest was on my lap stabbing the keys of my Roland SH5 and laughing at sine waves and low pass filters; @ 15 mths old ( after he learned to walk, and dance to New Orders blue monday LOL )
THAT IS SO PATHETIC AND WEAK. I CAN'T BELIEVE A GROWN MAN WHO HAS CHILDREN COULD BE SO DEMORALIZED AND DEFEATED.
IF YOU WANT TO GIVE YOUR LIFE MEANING THEN TEACH YOUR CHILDREN HOW TO BE STRONG MEN AND OBEDIENT WOMEN.
AND OF COURSE YOU COULD ALWAYS TEACH THEM HOW TO ACTUALLY PLAY AN INSTRUMENT AND CREATE ACTUAL MUSIC INSTEAD OF JUST NAVAL GAZING WHILE THEY LET THE EQUIPMENT DO ALL THE PLAYING FOR THEM LIKE LISTENING TO AN OVERGROWN MUSIC BOX THAT JUST MAKES RANDOM NOISES WITHOUT ANY PATTERN OR COHERENT STRUCTURE OF ANY SORT. THAT GETS OLD SO FAST. ANYBODY WHO'S GOT ANY SENSE OF MUSIC AND TASTE WILL JUST LEAVE THE ROOM AFTER FIVE MINUTES.
@@DOOMJESUS Wow - that's really harsh and not in the spirit of this place at all. Also - DON'T SHOUT AT US IN UPPER CASE. IT MAKES YOU LOOK LIKE A TOTAL A$$H0LE, no matter what your point of view may be. BTW, this music isn't for everyone, but I (and I'm one of many) appreciate the skill and resulting outcome of this brilliant composer. Music doesn't need to fit a pre-defined box. Keep your mind open and aim to be kind.
@@DOOMJESUS Oh dear. I just looked at some "videos" on your channel and they explain a lot - most impressive were the 2 videos of Black bear in the darkest of night. Take care of yourself!
Just a beautiful, spare, minimalist piece. When it snowed here in Baltimore, MD a couple of weeks back, I turned off all of the lights, opened the blinds, started this video, and watched snowflakes fall. This is very much in the same vein as, say, Brian Eno's "Discreet Music" or "Thursday Afternoon" or "Ambient #4: On Land". I'm going to check out more of your videos.
Someone has some pretty cool stuff! I love it. Very inspirational! I'm going to get on my DAW tomorrow and *try* to create something of my own. My wife HATES my stuff, but I use it like a sound track with my bluetooth earphones all the time. KEEP IT UP!
Sorry to hear that your wife hates what you create...
This is so mass effect that i'm now emotionally invested in this music
Reminds me to Jarre's - Waiting for Cousteau ....very relaxing! Great job.
IMO this piece if much more introspective than anything JMJ has done so far. Brilliant job SA!
exactly what i was thinking as well
I am not religious... but I am telling you, the universe is speaking through you. so relaxing and beautiful. I hope this is what they play as background music in the afterlife.
the spaghetti of patch cables inverts how calming it sounds
hahahaahahahahahahahaha
spaghetti cables are pretty still anyway.
This is lovely, so serene and just drifts along with a great momentum.
I’ve thought about googling and YouTubing “how is this done” for your self generative stuff.... and 2 things strike me - first - I don’t want to understand it, I just LOVE feeling it wash over me, so I’m not gonna try and understand the how of it all.... second - I wouldn’t understand even if I did try... so there is that too...
There is a very nice free software called VCV Rack which allows you to play with a modular synth on your computer. May I humbly suggest my TH-cam channel for tutorials on how to use it. It's quite fun and leads to a never ending journey of musical expression. Enjoy!
@@modularcuriosity wow, very generous of you... Bless you 🙏
I have no words!!!! Awesome Ambient Music and amazing devices!!!!
Obviously this is a huge expense. But when it creates sounds like this, it’s so worth it to people like us. Just listen to what it can do 😎
Without even any real time human input.
@@midnightsocean2689 exactly. Random sequences for the win. Imagine just turning it on and letting it go for hours...
@@StanzAmor Most expensive self playing music box lol.
@@midnightsocean2689 amazing jukebox 😉
@@midnightsocean2689 I'm sure it took countless hours for him to patch this up and program an initial set of parameters..Not like you just plug a bunch of cables in and let it go...
My yt
algorithm keeps bringing me back to one of your generativ modular sessions, and i don't even notice before 15min has gone. Ive just drifted and relaxed. Love this, and hoping for a even longer session, like 12 - 24 hours
A Journey through Space and Time
Eternity
A Masterpiece ❤
And I'm sat here happy with my Mother-32 and DFAM but my God what a gorgeous setup. Lovely music just my style. You've earned yourself another subscriber.
Thanks! That's a nice little setup you have, I wish I had a Mother-32 or two :)
@@stateazure you could buy two Behringer Craves, same thing ;-))
I want to see this machine in my own eyes, observing it, sharing electromagnetic field.
I write songs in my head ALL DAY, EVERY DAY. It's weird. Played drums for 20 years. Drives me mad at times. This is amaze-balls
truly amazing soundscapes in this. love these long generative pieces.
This is super cool. I'm enjoying it in the background for cleaning my studio. It's perfect for meditation too. Thanks @StateAzure
I love this so much. I think/am pretty sure I have commented this already, but truly, what a wonderful work of art. So serene and calm and pleasant. Truly wonderful & I appreciate this upload greatly. Thankyou to the artist
Thanks, Adam!
What’s astonishing is the fact that, sound has evolved to speech, speech has evolved as well; so with everything just to put in nut shell. What will we call music in 100 years, how will speech be telepathic etc... I wish I could see the whole processes of evolution, But maybe just maybe we will come back from future and the human struggles will be “Rare “ the humanness of being like a child in the evolutionary process so young will be treasure like an old sports baseball card, or a rare antique car.. we will yearn back for the child like mannerisms, innocence, like when I take my son to something new and love seeing his expressions and reactions. Like the old gazing at kids playing.. we will be wanting to go back and miss what we lost......
I don't know how you've done it State Azure, but this is (like Folding Space before it) the PERFECT soundtrack to the Cyberpunk 2020 module I'll be running back-to back with that one.
You're certainly on my wavelength.
Wonderful music!
This stuff makes me feel SOOOO much more than anything else I could listen to
Hi State Azure: I listen to a lot of different types of ethnic / EDM / ambient music, and I must say this is the most amazing, entrancing piece I've ever heard. I've long had an interest in generating music in similar fashion, but haven't dug into it much yet. Your piece however, pushed me over the edge! I need to dive into this. Could you recommend any resources (websites, other videos, books, etc.) on how to do this with modular technology and/or analog / digital synth modules? Have you written up any tutorials or FAQs or have you found any that were useful to you and if so, would you please point me to them? Keep on moving forward as you're really on to something. Thanks for sharing all these videos!
Peace and blessings, Donn
Thank you for taking me somewhere else for a while, I appreciate you being courageous enough to share your work with the world
Beautiful. This put me in a trance for two hours.
Unattended generative music might be the most background background music I've ever heard. I could play this all day..
An auto-generative music machine. With a part of human mind inside. Great !
I have this streaming on my roku + stereo in the background while working. Nice vibes and atmosphere.
Cant stop listening, always wanted to do some music like this. My aura is just going crasy with pleasure
My new favorite channel. This is the absolute best music to work to.
This should be in No Mans Sky
Beautiful thought provoking piece!! Thank you for sharing your Art. Keep the warm vibes coming please. The world needs this!
What a gorgeous soundscape! Thank you very much for sharing!
My pleasure!
@@stateazure Eureka, I Found It! God bless Bandcamp! )) Now I can enjoy your wonderful music in even higher quality! Is there a biographic video on youtube? It would be great to learn, how you found your way to this technology and science. And, why did you choose this particular genre? To be honest, I rarely find modular synthesis being used for anything other than ambient soundscaping, or sampling for other genres (like Junkie XL does). Are there any other genre choices, or is this technology limited in certain ways to be applied in any other type of music (due to absence of a proper way to save patches, etc.)?
Thank you! :)
Really, really enjoying this. And there are some really top-notch comments on this video too. Lovely group.
thats a lot of gear for a minimal sound, but I dig it. maximum entropy music from the end of cold dying universe.
kept listing to this while working, I like it a lot - I find it really easy to focus with this is playing. And it's varied enough, that I get a sense of time passsing slowly. I really like those organic sounds - like pebbles under water, and like rain falling in the distance
This is exactly what I needed to hear today. Thank you.
I usually find this kinda thing ridiculous, anyone can write ambience anymore, but this is REAL quality ambience
tell you something.. would love to see the plug sockets at the back of that!
Beautiful and serene sounds, aesthetic/visual. The concept of self generative is very intriguing and opens so many philosophical, mystical and profound journeys in my mind. A moving frequency intelligence as with all systems in the universe. Your onto a wonderfully undefined idea here with so many avenues. Fascinating. Can we get a continually melding 120-130bpm 4x4 kick with acidic 303's and pads? Yours being almost AI would be an amazing evolution and addition to the rave and live modular performances still happening at free parties today. Love and respect.
@@aaronsinger Indeed brother! So simple and effective 😁 can drive you into the heart of something or the essence of nothing 🙏🏼
