I keep coming back. Sometimes it takes a while for me to find this gem, but damn it's always worth it. The composition, the intention and the minimalism of this sounds is incredibly satisfying. I guess what I am trying to say is.. Thank you. To you who is inspired, go for it. Whatever happens, it will be genuine.
I think this has become my favourite of the MOTR series of clips. I really like the sounds made, the compact set-up and neat tricks with the SQ1 sequencers and the ambience of the city view. I confess it was this clip and then watching Nick Batt with the Erebus on Sonicstate straight after it that made me go and buy an Erebus immediately :)
This video convinced me to get into synthesizers and start making music again. Seven years later I've never come to close to anything this fantastic, but I've had a lot of fun trying and made a surprising number of friends along the way.
Amazing! Found this during one of my late night TH-cam explorations, listened to it until I fell asleep. First thing the morning I woke up, was playing this again. Amazing...
As if YOU try to manage any contact with buildings of the city on the horizon...have they contacted YOU back, in the meantime? Beauty...and some form of abstract serenities. I think this is a really unique ways of looking at life...love it!
I'd love to Nick, but i have zero experience with modulars unfortunately! I am thinking about getting a system, but i'm afraid i will get lost in endless patching sessions... But it's so tempting! I love your work by the way, gives me a lot of inspiration!
Timecop1983 Likewise! Love your music. I think we have smiliar influences. If you're nearby and want to hang, i can show you my modular. i think it'd be a blast
Nooooooooooooooooo - please not!!! Stay with a few boxes and focus on the music! Ok. maybe a decent reverb - BAM? Ummmm FILML4D4N wrote "dont need" and I missread "do need". Sorry but you got my point anyway. The Atlantis is a gem, had it and miss it now a little bit. Also teh erebus is fine, but I found it in the end too limited, never used the duo mode. But the dreadboxes have a really heavy sound that go on par with the moogs.
Very clever set up, i'm not realy in to eurorack modules cause they are limitless, i like the limitation of a small system. Came at your channel cause i was looking for erebus videos. A tiny clever set up makes a great set up. Still got the SQ1 drivin my mutable shruti wich is a great combo for my own set up. . . . . . but this set up made me look in a other direction as well . . . . big thumb up
Amazing rig ! Wonderful prformance. Just wish there was some non boring explination of what is being used and how and why it was chosen for his rig. Peace christo
make an album. i'll buy the shit out of it. Not sure why I subscribed ages ago, think you did some electric violin videos I liked. Boy I'm glad I did subscribe. Make an album, organise the tracks on your bandcamp into an album, whatever works.
I too love coming back to this piece every now and then , love when it comes on strong at 3.35. Sounds like something John carpenter would have scored 4 one of him movies.
7 years later and I still come back here for this 🫡
The more often I come back to this video the more I'm convinced it is a masterpiece
and it still is
Me to, I like his other vid as well... Just amazing both visually as well as sonically!!
This video was for me the gateway to heaven/hell of synthesizers and electronic music...forever!
I keep coming back.

Timeless , I will never get bored of listening this masterpiece
This video is really something special. Six years on and it it still hits hard.

Same here. Interesting confluences 🙂
I just bought an Erebus after watching this. Atlantis some day. Thanks for the inspiration!
And here we are again!
i love this little concept of the 'On The Roof' very original and very easy listening

My absolute favorite of this series that you've done. This is perfection.
Amazing!

Amazing...
Thank you for this unbelivable beautiful song..i literally have tears in my eyes...its so god damn emotional...thank you....
As if YOU try to manage any contact with buildings of the city on the horizon...have they contacted YOU back, in the meantime? Beauty...and some form of abstract serenities. I think this is a really unique ways of looking at life...love it!
It’s been two years since I first saw that jam and it’s still giving me goosebumps
This is Gorgeous. perfect setting.
Awesome. Love the all of the beautiful nuances in timbre, and the way you use of noise is a superb touch.
Gotta admit, I had _not_ expected actual _music_ from a setup like this! Thank you very much for sharing! Truly beautiful!
2021 - still love to come back to this session and listen to it again and again :)
Amazing use of SQ1 and everything else, great song
Quite a journey. Thanks for the vibe
The transistion at 4:26 gives me chills every time! Excellent stuff here!
Absolutely love it! Great video as usual!
Oh, Timecop1983 is here.
Timecop1983 Hi Timecop, if you'd like to do a session for #modularontheroof, send us a message on our facebook page :))
I'd love to Nick, but i have zero experience with modulars unfortunately! I am thinking about getting a system, but i'm afraid i will get lost in endless patching sessions... But it's so tempting!
I love your work by the way, gives me a lot of inspiration!
Timecop1983 Likewise! Love your music. I think we have smiliar influences. If you're nearby and want to hang, i can show you my modular. i think it'd be a blast
pyrofiliac
o bby i wana hangout n peep that modular ;)))
Oh wow. I'm a bit late for this party but it's better late than never. This sounds bloody good.
seriously incredible. this video is literally convincing me to get into modular synthesis. great stuff Nick Kwas!!
Ngl this video was the start of a full blown addiction ❤
Ah, finally someone who use them to make music and not just bleeps. Lovely!
you dont need a wall of modules! Great!

skyreader society 'focus on the music' the best advice I've seen on YT in ages :) so true
Erebus and Atlantis are essentially two walls of modules.
SQ-1 mastery. very musical. well done!
This proves you don't have to have Richard Devine's budget to make great sounding music with Modular synthesizers.
That setup is still £2K I reckon
ABSOLUT NETT!!!!!!
und musikalisch ganz weit vorne. Respekt......
siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick synth groove evolving vibes!!!!!!! Thank you!
bloody love your sessions. pure pleasure. come play on my roof in Barcelona, Spain when you're here. great views ... good vibes ... like your music!
This inspires me on so many levels!
2022 Still one of my favorite Modular Tracks
Amazing use of the SQ-1s. You're making it hard for me to talk myself out of buying an Atlantis...
Scott Campbell you won't regret it. my favorite of 18u of modules.
Dewwwww eeeet
Sunset and sequenced lines remind me a touch of BoC. Lovin the vibe.
Just found this and I’m very pleased that I did. Thank you 🙏🏼
The lead on the roof adds more weight to the sound. :)
Wow, just wow! In search for that tiny magic in simple melodies.
I don't like to use this word, but can't think of better...AWESOME!!!
I really enjoyed listening to this.
Wow, very nice! Great sound and use of modular synth!
Those 3 or so sections of wet delay synth swirl are glorious.
wonderful music!
Damned good stuff Master Kwas! Very very nice.
fantastic! so much vibe, such a definite mood. And damn, that sunset...thanks you!
well played! amazing tones from the erebus and atantis, simply amazing!
Excelent work. Really enjoyed it. Brilliant!
This is beautiful man! Made my day.
I never really considered modular synths because I thought it was unorganized, but then I saw this video and it changed my mind...
roof hipsters my greatest fear
we're surrounded!
Is it a health and safety issue? 😂
*hisses in analogue*
Brilliant comment!
They’ll get you they will
Very clever use of the SQ1. Lovely sounds.
Klasse Sound und Video, super...
Well done! Love to hear that Erebus breathe!
Very lovely session, thank you! Man that Erebus sounds great....

Nicely done. Enjoyed it.

He has a Bandcamp page. You can find the link in the description. :)

I like this a lot.
this is the best modular video i have ever seen, more please, incredible!!!
Just beautiful! Thanks for sharing
The opening, in particular, has a very Battle of Evermore feel to it. Nice.
More people should record in the sunset :-) Btw. Both boxes are very good sounding synths - right choice!
hell of a track dude. You should definitely release it
I fucking agree hardcore.
Completely Love.
Love it!! Great job Nick!!
This is beautiful.
Great work! I'm a fan for life.
Still awesome. I think this was one of videos which got me started with modular :)
Nick, this is great! Met you at KnobCon a few months back and happy to see this! Wonderful stuff!
This is great pyro. I'm glad I subbed all those years ago
LOVE this track sounds so nice and warm, great work!!!!;-)).
Sounds awesome. Love it.
no words for this. thanks
This video made me buy the Erebus. I haven't regretted that decision :)
this is a great set!
lovely sound palette. Nice.
You're so much better than deadmau5 with a fraction of the gear
Magnificent!
Excellent. Bravo!
realy sweet track !! great sounds and improvisation!
Great stuff. Love the setting.
Great work, Bravo.
I love the over-sensitive and unpredictable nature of the erebus.
I too love coming back to this piece every now and then , love when it comes on strong at 3.35. Sounds like something John carpenter would have scored 4 one of him movies.
that one is my favourite
Love the series. Quite fun. I'm probably about 15 mins from you guys. :-)
I'm wearing that exact shirt right now.
wonderful sound
Great sounds.
Purely Divine
erebus certainly has that fairy dust
Awesome!
What a way to start (or end) the day. Wasn't sure if it was sunrise ... either way it goes well with your sound.👍
i love atlantis - having one with metropolis.. proper acid workshop and more. Erebus sounds very good
ace. loving this.
I love this !!!
