I like that this focuses more on creative choices instead of purely technical skills. Beyond learning the techniques and gear there is always the hard question: What is beautiful? What should I use my technical skills to create? I would enjoy more videos about this side of being a musician.
Check out Ben Levin’s channel!
@@dongvermine Or Adam Neely or David Bruce, you see where I am going with this.
I love Hainbach's channel for focusing more on timbre and interesting approaches to ambient music than on technical skill.
I feel you bro this vid was hella good I sent it to a friend of mine also
I think that it's not at all possible to even have a barometer of what beautiful sounds/song or piece of music because everyone listens to music differently, so what's beautiful to my ears might not be to the next guy or gal. The musicians best barometer is his own ear. If it sounds good to you then it IS, for you
Great video - great explanations - Have Natalie do more content for Reverb
Yass
Agreed, please make more improvisation in the studio techniques like this Natalie. The Korg Lambda has such a wonderful sound.
i like watching Natalie & her take on things
Well this has to be the first time I ever watched/listened to an improv lesson that never mentions chord tones, pentatonics, or modes! Amazing! As a guitarist, I'm jealous of these cool sounds. I should get a synth...
If you like the big one she played in the beginning, there is something called the Deepmind by Behringer that is responsible for a revolution in synthesizer culture lol. I’m a guitar player too of 17 years and I have several Behringer synths mostly because I listen to a lot of Steve Hillage.
Try out a microkorg to start. You'll have plenty of sounds to explore and you can find them for $200 or less used.
Do it. I’ve been there, and own several synths now :-)
Guitar could do beautiful soundscapes too, just look up Ed'O Brien
@@graxjpg "revolution" lmao
This is full of useful advice! I love that this doesn't rely at all on flashy/aggressive/busy patches, and instead focuses on fairly simple tones built up from zero and combined with a lot of taste & care.
Really need to check out her TALsounds releases after this...
I am doing that now ("Acquiesce"). They are as beautiful as you'd expect.
i love this down to earth barefoot chill & relaxed kind of improvising style among a comfy gear corner half-circle. Her approach is very close to mine when it comes to recording and starting with a sound to begin with and go from there to where ever it takes me. It's insane what directions you go to once you let it happen and instinctively feel where it wants to go.
Rad video. One of my favorite things of playing with synthesizers is the control over timbre and texture that’s at your fingertips.
FINALLY, a music TH-camr who pronounces Timbre properly!!!
Actually... not at all... 😑
This rules & is perfect to watch/listen to w/ a morning cup of coffee. Thanks, Natalie!
love these synth videos! Really feels in tune with what people who love synths want to watch and learn about. Really interesting insights from a performer to someone who's been "getting to know his gear" for maybe a bit too long and trying to figure out how to do some live improvisation
In the first chord I thought It was "Something About Us" by Daft Punk.
Yes i here all music as variations of the album discovery and I’m glad I’m not the only one who heard that
Dude me too I thought she was gonna play it lol
I like the concept about lowering the volume. Excellent sound.
Oh my god. What an astonishingly beautiful composer, I got goosebumps towards the end, eargasmic sounds with a fabolous mood

Shout Out To Natalie!
Love From UK.
That heart-tattoo on Madam Chami's Freq-Finger is truly adorable. Just like the sounds.
I love the chorus effecs on the Juno. Instant huge sound going from simple waveforms.
love love love Natalie! a great musician and a great educator.
As someone who does electronic ambient/drone looping I'm pretty sure my version of this video would've gone something like “layer on 3 things that are in your face and have no room for anything else, so spend 5 years looking for a stereo loop pedal that has good loop decay to make room for what’s next”. Well done Natalie!
great concepts! This applies to full ensemble improvisation quite well.
This was very useful for what I'm working on. Thanks, Tal and Reverb!
Man, that Juno has an incredible sound. Well, can produce incredible sounds.
Yes.
It's hard to NOT get a good sound from the Juno 60.
@@zibbybone but thats only because its so limited
So cool ! Love it all !
Awesome home setup and very helpful video!
Thank you! Great tips and amazing sounds!
I've been watching videos on TH-cam for a long time and by far this one it's on my top five.
All encompassing mood from warm sounds: accomplished.
Love your touch, Natalie, and yes, it was definitely inspiring!
Nice. Starting out playing, before any real patch making is done, is wise. I tend to noodle with making patches too much before I start. Appreciate the inspiration!
Natalie Chami, thank you !
This is one of the best videos in this channel. Keep them coming! Woops, I accidently bought a Mother 32.
I wish I could accidentally buy something like that lol
It's nice to build parts that compliment each other but the beauty of synthesis is to have the sounds evolve in real time during performance.
Thank you for talking thru your process. This helped me gain many insights.
you made some lovely music here. thanks for sharing your insights.
I learned a lot. Thanks!!!
Thanks Natalie!
This video was amazing, she nailed it.
Such great advice. I love hearing this kind of stuff about the creative process. The ideas behind what you choose to do. Brilliant!
I could listen to her talk all day
This is awesome. Loved the last jam.
Excellent demonstration.
Fantastic, helpful video thank you.
Excellent presentation!
Haha Natalie looked so familiar, and then i saw her electro harmonix loop pedal and her set up in the flight case and it clicked! I had a whole nerdy conversation with her about how she plays when she opened for Circuit de jeux. TALsounds is great live
you have my synth.... I had my Juno back in the early 1990's... It is my favorite instrument I have ever had.. And ... I played around with it almost exactly as you are showing. Somewhere I still have the original book that came with the Juno and it has a bunch of presets to work from.. Man I spent weeks just trying different stuff out... It was so fun to play the 'Farside' in Seattle and I had an ARP 16 voice electric piano... and on top of that was my Juno... I wonder if I have any of the videos of those performances on here...
Thank you!
Thanks for explaining your process for experimental music. ❤️🧘🏽♀️🎧
A Juno my ols synth, hands are knackered now but love this synth. Thanks for this great tutorial.
Great video! Very nice results and a fine explanation of the journey :) I’m definitely inspired!
That Juno patch is like a warm blanket on a rainy day... sooooooo good.
Wonderful!! 👏👏👏
I want to see more videos w her, this was really cool 😎
I love your videos!
Wonderful video, very inspiring and informative. Thank you so much!
A very insightful and informative presentation! Thanks for the useful tips!
thanks it's useful and cool
Great stuff! Thanks :)
Wow that was a great video!
Sparkle! I always called the same functional parts in my songs ‘treats.’ And I miss my Lambda.
She is awesome!
You rock! Thank you for sharing.
very inspiring!!
wow awesome video, loved it
That Juno sounds so beautiful 😭😭
Lovely playing.
I love it!
I just fall in love!!!
excellent video, great teacher and presenter - korg lamba sounds incredible.....
The Brett Naucke poster is hooked me into watching the whole thing.
When I was a teenager synth was 99,9% a men's business, now I see with pleasure girls speaking about them. So sweet.
There have always been many great female synth artists going back. I think talent finds a way. Art is a hard path for any gender. www.flavorwire.com/335503/10-female-electronic-music-pioneers-you-should-know
You come across as someone who is surprised to see a woman in the studio. What a weird comment.
@@jamesr6562
what a waste of words....
@@calabiyou
Yes indeed, but this was a researcher academy matter when I was a teenager, late 70s. There was no Internet and I am afraid we could find texts regarding them only in universities, academies and barely on some music magazines. Now I have two girlfriends close my town who are deeply interested in electronic music production. A big step ahead since then.....😊
Very interesting and inspiring
First time I've seen an unpatched MS20 😉 how she puts out the mother32 and goes bonkers? love it!
great tutorial
Thanks mihija, for the video, stay informative and beautiful!
This is a really helpful video! I also do live improvisation on synths, and this gives me many better ideas. Thank you!
this was great, more please :)
Reverb is increasing their selling fees from 3.5% to 5% (Around 42% increase). That's happening during a pandemic where most musicians are already out of work. Thanks reverb!
So go elsewhere do to your business.
amazing content
A true inspiration 😏🎼😍🎼🔊
The Korg Lambda and ms20 together sound amazing. I'm struggling to find the Talent slider on any of synths but having great fun trying 🤣 Thanks for sharing, truly inspirational 👍🏾
i do not understand how you got such a great classic tone out of what i assume is a new ms-20? i never have liked the new ones. the vintage sounds best to me... and i love working with pedals and synths and i LOVE this video, it is inspiring! if my studio weren’t currently dismantled i’d be playing right now!
Will there be more of that stuff? It was very inspiring and informative!
Super, you have a big talent !! Very inspirational 👍👍
brava, bello, bella! ..thanks for inspiration!
Never heard the Lambda before, sounds like Metroid music! Love it and want one now. Great insight btw, thank you
It's a great ""string synth" that also has a decent choir sound. I kinda miss the one I had, but it went to a good home.
Me too- it's really special sounding.
This was great! Can y'all expand this idea by adding FM synthesis + analog?
Love your hair.
Nice synths!
I didn't know about Natalie and I was at first surprised because I was expecting something really different. Then, I must say that Natalie showed the things from a different point of view and that was really interesting. I liked her way of explaining the concepts an the sound atmosphere she creates. Finally, she has also a nice voice, I heard her singing on her music in other videos. Good job Natalie!
Love u Nat!
great content. i use a looper when i can too...
Had two of them little korgs and i would hook em up together..They were ok ....The arp 2600 was big fun....You do have a neat little style going on..love it....I'm sure youve heard of tangerine dream
Nice and the music is great to
Your dress is gorgeous, I made an illustration with a girl having that kinda dress. The name of the illustration "May the forest be with you" maybe I post it for you?! Great video, love it!
I must have been fooled. I mean, I really love my Juno DS, I play every day, but it does not sound the same!! But still loving it :)
cool inspirational techniques
A totally different approach on improvising. Nevertheless your deliverance made it plausible 2 me. So that is what made it very interesting and valuable 2 me. *Big Ups!*
Beautiful video! I wish I could expand my collection of synths, but everything is so expensive! Thanks for the upload Reverb
You don't need to spend much. Most of what you hear here could be accomplished with way less. Get a simple keyboard or controller with midi, a Korg Volca, and a couple guitar pedals. Voila!
The ditto looper, for example, is inexpensive and can really expand a synth's capabilities.
American music supply does payments and ship on first payment. They rule
I just bought my Lambda this morning! Can't be a coincidence.
may i ask where you found one? having a hard time even finding one for sale
i can see a korg micropreset in the back,,, have one, its great,,,good video Fender guys, kind of Terry Rilesque improv
Hallo Reverb! Very interesting video and explanation. Can you make more videos like this on how to make electronic music like this. It is always interesting to see how other musicians create music and how they come up with ideas and how they work. Thank you Natalie, thank you reverb. Greetings from germany. Bye Fightclub
I definitely hear sounds that remind me of music by Brian Eno. This is definitely useful to anyone learning or experience at electronic music. Great video Natalie.
