Thank you so much for putting forward this vid. I was obsessed with techno from the start. I loved the early sequencer music by pink floyd on dark side of the moon kraftwerk etc. I liked electro music of the 80s (I was about 18). I was into Richie Hawtin, after buying a compilation called 'from our minds to yours' which for me was a game changer. Hawtin later had name of Fuse with album called dimension intrusion which was ace. I found later after Plastikman he had done a collaboration with Pete Namlook. From within was that good I ended up scouring for any Namlook cd's I could find and couldn't wait to start listening.
Thankyou! For one one of those Artists I should of given more time to when they were alive and followed. :D Fortunatly most of his collaborators still release great music and some have become personal friends over the years :D
Thanks for the great video!
Heard Pete's music in a radio, back in 1990s. There was one hour a week (plus two more hours every month at night) of electronic music, and it hooked me. Remember once waking up around 3 o'clock, with radio playing The Bottom Of The Ocean from Silence III. The Moon was shining through some tree branches, and the ending came. Other time there was part of Monolith (Namlook X) at night, some excerpt from parts III-VI. Or Ambient Cookbook (the first one), with presenter reading how to make pizza using one finger and one phone while playing Treasury. Great times (when one is young), when music translates more directly into emotions and feelings. Still didn't hear all of Pete's music. His diversity is amazing however.
Thanks for the comment, it was a similar moment when I first heard SPACE, I had mostly written off KLF as a pop band until this moment... then came Chillout etc... : Your Namlook X moment is enough to inspire a whole album :D
Peter Kuhlmann ist so ein verstecktes Phänomen... his collaborations with Richie Hawtin, Klaus Schulze, Bill Laswell, Mixmaster Morris are unbelievable
Your tribute track is epic! So well mastered I can play it LOUD!
I feel youtubes Video/Audio codec has spoiled the mix slightly. I'll give you the full HD final version soon! :D
@@100ThingsIDo Hello, just for your information, i think it has been lowered because its peaks are above -1 db, I use right button then "stats for nerds" to display the YT action and it says "content loudness 0.9 db) that means it has lowered the volume because its over what it wants. let me know if you need more info about it. Thank you for all your videos about sound hadware, I just love that, especially the sound-workshop board, one, i looked at it in the 80s when I started my second studio, i ended up with a french one from +30 creator Pierre Antonini.
Your tribute track is absolutely awesome, and dude i've just found pete Namlook because of you, he's so brilliant. It's been ages since iv'e found new music thats so inspiring. You have mentioned other names that i'll check out as well, just going over Petes work now, so much :)
Really great to hear! Pete has so much to listen to and may great collaborations with many great artists :D
Pete bought Klaus's Moog IIIP - it originally belonged to Florian Fricke
Great tribute mate
Thanks! I was really in two minds if I should make this clip or not! :D
Wow😮 stunning
Thanks as always Torsten. :D
I got really big into Ambient in the early-mid 90s to the point i missed the now legendary Basic Channel playing live with Jeff Mills in the main rooom because I was in the ambient room, anyways, i knew of some of Pete's music but never really listened to that much at the time, thanks for bringing him up as i think it's time i do!
Indeed, time to explore :D
I own about 150 albums on the FAX and sub labels (I used to own more, but 150 is the cream of the crop) but I still think the albums with Move D are the best
I'd highly recommend the Virtual Vices series to you ... Namlook + Der Spyra
What about alien community? I've been listening to Pete's work for almost 30 years, he was an awesome musician and a very inspiring person , sadly he left us without more of his music , how much did it cost his synth collection?
A lot of his gear was sold via VEMIA auctions if I remember correctly. I saw a picture of some person who purchased the Nord 3 + mixer and quite a few other of Pete's synths. Move D has Pete's Oberheim but this was purchased before Pete passed. Indeed Alien Community is great :D
I discovered Pete Namlook somehow all the way back in highschool 5-6 years ago. I gotta revisit his music now. I haven't listened to his full discography.
Its a lot of music. Took me years to hear most of it. I always recomend the releasees with Move D :D
So.. I'm watching your video on programming a Logic synth..
There's a teacup on the table, and I wonder.. "I've got one just the same." I move on to this video, and it occurs to me..
What's this accent? I recognise it.
I check the 'About' tab. Ah ha. He's an Aussie!
Hi. Loving the random 💯 objectives, diggin' the ambient washes.
Thanks so much! Yeh its quite rare to see Aussies doing electronic music stuff :D Hope you get to stick around!
Met him at Messe Frankfurt in 2011, he was very interested in all new tools coming. Died to soon...
I hope he was cool in person! I'm always worried meeting people who's work I enjoy as if they are not cool it can affect the enjoyment of their work :D
@@100ThingsIDo Yes, i know what you mean.But in my case i was very lucky that whenever i was meeting someone who is publicly known, i had a nice time. But really i saw in Pete a guy who was still interested in all new tools like a kid in a toystore, i think the same as you and me ;-)! Our life with that machines and software is more than making a song etc. if it is your life you know it! All the best!
Excellent work! I do love it.
As a composer it makes me think I should maye get back to these long pieces, with time to breath and to developp atmospheres, but I'm always afraid to be boring with my own music.
Geek time: What's the gear list for your piece? Do you plan to do a walktrough video about the making of it?
Believe it or not its MiniMoog Model D for the drone and the lead, a recording of a thunderstorm I made a few years ago and the Korg Wavestation! Add a few tasty reverbs and delays and you are done! Indeed, you can do a lot more in long form and explore emotion a lot more :D
@@100ThingsIDo Space an symplicity! BTW, thank you for your subscribtion to my modest channel👌
I was there. 1993-1996 in San Francisco. FAX was burgeoning. A new CD every 3 weeks or so. My favorite series is the PW catalog (collaborations between PK and artists outside Germany). Shades of Orion, Outland, Psychonavigation, 2350 Broadway, Dreamfish...amazing stuff. Pete put out some duds too! LOL.
Has it allreadby been 10 years?
I probably came across his name first when his daughter started selling his entire synth collection, however FAX records was a name I had constantly heard from all the german 90s elecrtonic artists. I feel he sadly gets overlooked far too often for his style of Ambient, which seems to have strongly inspired Richard D. James' ambient oeuvre (or maybe they just approached it with the same mindset, who knows....).
A very fitting tribute to an amazing artist.
Also to be annoying, Klaus' modular was a Moog 3P with Sequencer Complement B; I think he allready sold the flightcases with the upper row of PPG modules before the series started (which might have been some of the motivation behind the series? or at least to get the moog out of storage).
I know, times goes by at such a pace! I think from memory that Klaus had already sold his big Moog Modular by the time they did DSOTM and Peter had a smaller System (possibly a 55 or 35). I believe Peter sold this around the time of DSOTM 6 but once again could be mistaken. Hope things are good with you man :D
Great personal video outlining your feelings for one of the masters of EDM. I didn't realise Fax was the record label, I thought the Germans were a bit behind the times and you could fax to that phone number 🤦♂embarrassing
That was the fun in the Lable name! Easy to understand how to order back in the early 90's where there was no internet :D
Please don't use the term EDM, leave that for cheesey American Arena boppers
@@X-101 What term would you prefer?
