I'm going to open a cable shop next to where this man lives
Specifically Patch cable shop 😂
@@Door_dash11 FUCKING IGNORANTS.
He lives at a cable shop bro
,🤣🤣🤣😂
😂😂😂
just by the usage of words by the people commenting on this video I can tell most of them are interested in/related to music production! I would say those in the front of the stage are synthfreaks producers too, not dancing but listening
hahahah
Totally! thinking about the modules:
-"hmm is that a intellijel atlantis?"
-"I know this VCA!"
-"best way to use this ramp down LFO"
Good vibes Santi !!!
exactly
Hm, never looked at this that way. I'd probably be one of them, arms crossed, enjoying the wall of sound:)
For sure brother
What an atmosphere from that crowd. It's got the energy of a funeral
Could it be the case that they were so mesmerised by the music that they all went into a collective trance sharing a subjective reality of consciousness?
@@TradCatMan They look bored, people in a trance tend to move unconsciously, often eyes closed. They're just standing there dead eyed, quite a few are just playing on their phones.
@@Wildeheart79 They needed more alcohol.
@@Wildeheart79i think you probably underestimate their devotion to the craft. Not all music needs dancing. I've been listening to trance music for years. Many times in my car laying back in my driveway just letting the music inspire my imagination. Don't get so bent out of shape
@@mikeklug3369 All fair enough. That crowd still looks like they'd rather be at an insurance seminar
why are people bothered about the crowd?
some of the best music experience from shows i've had is just simply stopping. closing my eyes and letting the music do it's beautiful work.
the room is dark the vibe is set, this is not a dubstep show.
let people experience it how they want!
Also @Colin Benders, this was truly beautiful. is there by any chance a wav or mp3 of the set available?
Would love it for my own listening.
IKR
He's got them totally pwned
They are going to wake up wit empty wallets credit cards missing and a thank you note lol
you stil making music man ? haven't heard anything in a while
This would be good music for a DMT trip.
yes listen to the music.
Anyone else here in 2020 missing hanging out in close proximity with strangers in dark venues.
No but I miss live music...
Yes, absolutely. The close proximity, the loving glances, the mutual stomping, the common vibe, the closed eyes and total immersive personal experience that you have yourself and see others having when you break periodically from the trance - is all part of the experience. Yes, I totally miss my strangers in dark venues.
I miss it so much.
No!!
this ^^

This is the most spellbinding and fascinating live performance I've come across in years. What an absolute triumph of both man and machine.
It’s so spellbinding and fascinating that the crowd is hypnotized and paralyzed... slightly moving like leaves in a gentle breeze
Colin is consistent in his performance and across genre
It’s fake
Its pure
The sad thing is that listening to this here we are not hearing the whole experience as awesome as this is
I'm sitting here trying to write some C++ code while this is playing in the background. I'm not getting much done.
same bro, same
I’m writing a short story about the end of the world listening to this piece. Colin doesn’t know it but he wrote the soundtrack.
Love it..Loved it Years before..Yeah I remember "Tangerine Dream" Opening for "Iggy Pop" somewhere in the 70's...Those Sequencer opened my mind like Binaural Beats then & Now...Thank You Agoritiym...143...CapriceK
This music is simply brilliant...
This is a modular magnum opus. So good!
just found out about you yesterday. yeah bless my ignorance but... i believe i never heard anyone master modulars like you do. just watched your stream today and i had so much fuc*ing fun. i commented there that you can be compared to any master on any instument and honestly i was thinking about hendrix on the guitar but this is so much more... your intuition on these machines makes me on one hand value my little trips on my ms20 a lot and on the other just wonder at the possibilities. the depth of this is amazing! keep us stomping or dreaming, wtv makes you happy!
More likes please! This deserves more!
Mr. Benders, muchas gracias, vielen vielen vielen dank, unglaublich wie si mit dem synti umgehen können, danke.
ring ring - ring ring... "hey buddy, what you up to?"
"Nothing much - you?"
"No, nothing. But Colin Benders is playing locally tonight you wanna go?"
" Hell yeah, I wanna go!!"
"I know right, Remember last time when we just stood there and just watched him play his amazing modular system? And didn't dance or even move?"
"Yeah!! I totally remember just standing there - can we do that again, but this time can I just play on my phone for the the entire set?"
"YES!! I was going to suggest that"
"Cool, I'll pick you up 20 mins before it starts and then drop you off at home 10 mins after it ends - that good with you?"
"Yep, my social skills are essentially nill so trying to go somewhere else before or after would just be a waste of time,"
"agreed. Oh, can you bring me a CD-R Burner?"
"Of course, I have one right here."
"Nice, c u shortly"
"kay"
Here's the passion and skills and not like some djs that just play cds or mp3 pretending they're twisting knobs...Hail to you Synth Master!!!!
Si se pudiera expresar la mayor felicidad integrada entre el ser humano y el universo expresada en mi cara sin lugar a dudas es ver mi cara escuchando esta sesión es lo mejor
You are an analogue GOD! And everything without classic keys, just sequencers!
You are inside your machines!
21:15: The cutoff filter closes a little bit too fast. ;-)
And what a beautiful end of the set!
What's up with the audience? The man is burning up on the stage and it's like he's playing to a forest of barely moving trees. Are they too cool for this set or what?
That crowd is insane. Totally comatose.
hi collin , great set! makes my think of superbooth 2016 .
was great to work with you on the soundinstallion last year. good memories.
its jan ( yaya systems ) writing. we did the aftershow workout in the kultursaal.
all the best !
Man, its just MAGIC! I love it Colin Benders, cheers!
good promo. now they need to book you for dancing kids
The complexity behind a set like this is madness. I am very impressed. What an amazing set!
would love to see him showing his techniques & setup
Maybe hes just good at playing with knobs and drum patterns xddd
37:00 is absolutely ridiculous. That's so incredibly hard to do in an improv modular context, believe me
mans turned his song into a song
yes it is, but he pulled it off... good stuff
I like it. Ten minutes in, subbed.
Everyone worried about everyone else... Worry about yourselves. Enjoy the music, stop caring about what others are doing. No one will worry about you but yourself.
This music would be awesome for a metroid game!
hahaha didn't even have webpage up, about 5 or 6 songs have played now, but this one gets me going, so I tell myself this ones good, so I bring TH-cam up to see who it is, dun dun duh, its Colin, should've known right, you got some uniqueness that comes with yours that makes it just badass had been listening to deOrbiter before this came on, i think I need to archive diving i know this isn't the right place for it, but you should make another few albums, put on Spotify or something, you've got plenty of videos full of music to do it with, there are a good chunk of people who only listen to Spotify, I know a few myself, they are missing out whoa @36 minutes in WOW HELL YEAH
38:12, DAAAAAAAAAAAAMN!
The crowd may look bored etc but I think this is a "happy knobbing" event, those folks are much more interested in seeing what this chap can achieve with his synth, amazing stuff.:) , I might be wrong.
"God" of modulation!
Pretty obvious he doesn't care if they dance or not, he's playing his music. If they dance, great, but his motivation is the sounds coming from that fun looking rig. Once lost in his own world of music he himself lets loose, if the crowd can't connect it's not his fault. Difference between DJ and live production; DJ tries to play the crowd, producer plays their heart.
I wouldn't want to be the guy doing the patches for a live gig.
Respect to the engineer or himself for that alone.
The only thing I see here is a musician making beautiful music. That's the difference between DJs and musician's!
Amazing what can be done with old tech with a modern imagination
As a visitor of this show, I can confirm that all attendees were in pure trance. Is it obliged to dance then? I had a chat with Colin afterwards, and he was a super happy man as well.
@@wispa1a indeed modular is super tricky to pull off for a live gig and small issue can ruin a whole show. That is what I like about my simple Elektron Analog 4 setup. One hardware box with 4 voices and tons of programmed patches that work like a charm. Now I don't have six cases of fancy Eurorack modules with hundreds of wires and cool flashing lights but I can put my whole show in one small pack and plugin and do a show right away easily without worries.
"dance event" *not a single person dancing*
Clearly that crowd had not taken their disco biscuits 😄
I feel like the crowd doesn't understand what they are witnessing cause how are they not losing their minds right now? Im at my crib freaking out wishing I was there, from start to finish this set was nothing but incredible
Most people have absolutely no idea what modular is.
Solid point because there was a time I didn't know about it..... then I did and now have an addiction that rivals a drug addiction and I'm in financial ruins lol but least I'm making really cool sounds while being broke
@walterslenny Sounds about right 🙌
It's sound amazing but can't see myself jumping around to this
a Dr in a crib lol cute
Thank you man. Lovely.
Love this.....but you’ve got
To be kidding me. What the; kind of crowd is
This. We should be ashamed. Going to a
Performance such as this!!!
We should be losing it on the dance floor. Everyone needs to pull something out of somewhere And stop being such a full** stick puppets! also.... if any is ever preform Ming in a manner as this... ducking turn around. Give the crowd a view of magic! No one needs to see your face. It’s
Not as if you have the courtesy to speak to them. Flashing LEDs deserved to be seen!
This is amazing how you keep the gig together like that, I know hard hard modulars can be to tame in live environment. This is only possible if you truly know your rig 100%. Well done!
The most boring crowd have no idea what's going on lol
These people complaining about crowd while sitting their ass on couch at home! Why don't u make that money, buy a ticket, travel to the show and show everyone how to party?! 😏
nah bro im dancing my ASS off at home
Legend.
This video is my first exposure to Colin's music. I was just reading about the fact that electric guitar sales have decreased drastically and the 2 largest guitar manufacturers are under water. This is because there are no current electric guitar virtuosos that have captured the popular consciousness. Now I see where the instrumental virtuoso has gone; he is in a packed room, playing modular synthesizers!
Scott Vampola ever heard guthrie govan? tosin abasi?
then search for the Kyteman hip-hop orchestra , this was his before this.
I used to listen to stuff like this in the early 7th century, we recorded it on mud disks using dodo quills and a pigskin diaphragm
You are pretty much my hero at the moment.
wow this is amazing, I totally get why everyone is stood watching and listening and letting the synths and sounds hit their souls deep.
I love the banging hard stuff and going ape shit but sometimes its just better to go back to basics and just stand with no phone and take it all in and let the subconscious suck it all in. First video i have witnessed with this gent i can only sqy well done and keep this level of greatness up and i will be looking into it more.
I would love to take this recording, play it at a party on a huge screen and let the dancing crowd at my party think that the totally static one in the video was just wallpaper or mannequins or some kind of ironic set used by Mr. Benders.
This was amazingly well done!
Side note: I found the lone foot pedal effect sitting forlornly on the front of the table kinda funny. With that Borg-esque monstrosity on the table, what was the one 'sonic thing' he just could not get that forced him to go buy a single footpedal to achieve? And is it a Footpedal of the Gods, or just some kind of sonic condiment? Inquiring minds want to know.
That god pedal was a guitar tuner. You'd think there'd be a decent alternative for that one....
That actually makes it funnier! Thanks! And again, thank you for posting your amazing work!
Its one of them nights were the act is n joying him self more than the crowd lol
51:00 the texture on this set is drool worthy
When your whole brain is just voltage..
Nice Work!
Hoooly sit! It is fantastic!!!!
Wonderful 🤫😌🎧
Pretty incredible to see him come from being just a musician conducting his own band, to just having a 6U Eurorack making somewhat "bird" tunes to now being an influential in the modular synth genre. I say this but 2020's is going to see a huge shift to this, and I am just beginning too, hope to be able to play venues one day man.
Just a band??
bird tunes??
2020s??
Venues in 2020?
One day?
38:00 just speachless
longest mannequin challenge over that crowd...
I see what you did there
they dancing to IDM........ with their brain..........
you made my day
Like when Thom York's head wobbles when he plays. there's a ball of music that goes around and around and around like a hula hoop in an alternative dimension
The X wore off all at once.
It's so weird!!! It's like the music soothes them, and the second it stops they are going to jump over his racks and ravage him in some mass zombie arrack!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
40:08 start ship
Best comment:)
WOGGLEBUG????
Play this at x.75 speed with your sub cranked, your neighbors will love you!
That is a lot of preparation. To bring this setup to a gig. Does he leave cables in there? Else it would sound different every time
he does it different everytime! From what i've heard in interviews he is improvising every time and sometimes bring a vague idea of where it can go to. But mostly it's based on the vibe in the venue, the crowd, the following up of the next tunes and he makes it an experience. He also said he barely makes "songs" as he does different stuff everytime he plays the modular
37:25 that notes always in my head now
Hey, the audience are under a spell, and I must be as well, as I'm just compelled to watch this entire set in one go. Wow. Powerful magic. Wonderful.
What a real set, all fake knob turners should be ashamed listening to this.
Whaaaaaaaattt?! Dude, this is sick!
Well.... I just can say, this was one amazing experience !
Thanks so much for recording and uploading this beauty.
This is 100% electronic music on his best quality
The fact that he can do all this in darkness is amazing to me!
this music takes my mind elsewhere. so good.
What's up with the crowd - are they cutouts or zombies? How can you not dance to this? The crowd should be ashamed of themselves!
well, everyone reacts different to music of this kind. I can only "feel" it if i lay down with my eyes covered with a blindfold that supplies total darkness. Only then will my brain "connect"
electronic music is becoming interesting again. thanks for the upload colin!
Impressive
Fantastic!!! Starting not so long ago with eurorack, this is my dream to do this in my Backyard for some friends. Amazing! Greetz 👍✌️😳
Backyard synth concert would be dope
wtttttfff how do you even begin to perform a eurorack like this?
it is completely insane what he gets done here. this is sooo difficult, most people sound way more monotone with modular. you need to know your setup perfectly to just play around like that live. if you make just one mistake, everything breaks down and you could actually blow the audiences ears out. takes so much practice and courage to play such a beast live.
on most techno gigs, they only launch clips and play around with the filter (maybe). which is fine, i enjoy such gigs as well. it takes another skillset to prepare everything beforehand and line it up nicely. but on a difficulty scale, this is so much more nerve wrecking for the performer and should be taken into account when enjoying this music!
When goosebumps appear and reappear in a frequent manner. This is just lit.
Tracklist please ?
As someone who's just starting in the world of analog synthesizers, I have to say this is truly inspiring! Thank you Colin! Please come to Chile, South America someday! :D
Would love to! never been to Chile, if ever the opportunity arises I'll be there!
Awesome!
:)
how much will a proper setup cost? (beginner in analog, basical/advanced knowledge with software synthesizers.
I think because it's not a "all-in-one" device, it'll be veeery expensive (effect modules (delay/reverb) alone cost more than a few hundrets?!)
Except you build em yourself with microcontrollers or buy cheap ones, not that too spaced technology thb.
Your 2 cents? :D
Greetings from germany
@@DropCoreYT Eurorack starts as an expensive hobby and turns into an addiction. Look on TH-cam for ‘must have modules’ and sketch it out. Not too many all in one synths do what modular does, so that might be a ‘cheaper’ option to start. If you get a decent semi modular synth you can add modules as you go along. Enjoy the journey.
Dance event? Looks exactly like a concert here in Austin, TX.....great music and no one letting loose :/
Cmon guys people do whatever they want at the concert. This guy is a genius btw.
Well said Sergey.
Very c0ol. Wonderful modular performance. A lot of patching for what we are hearing tho.
Great work Colin! That was a stellar intro
50:55 Absofreakinlutely beautiful. Beyond beautiful. Tears will not suffice. I would like to model/emulate this myself. I am thinking from this, I will start focusing on 4 sounds aside from percussion: synthesize throughout the track, interchangeably forth and back, clean the 4 off the slate bringing 4 new sounds into the profile.
Words cannot express my endearment towards this. From the bottom of my cheeseburger, thank you for you being yous.🍔
Wow, that bass that's dropped in at 38:08 ! :D
there all silent enjoyers lol But i like this very much! great stuff dude
Really inspirational! One of the best live modular jams I've seen

woah! 37:14 !!!
***** damn right!
Oh my fucking god!
The whole set was like:
slowly - yes - nice - meh - oopsy - well, no - FUCK IT - ok, start over once more with feeling
Wonder what gig the 135 who dislike the video went to last. Talent is talent Dj's play other people music Colin makes his own live the guy is a genius end off. Dont like it go back to listening to someone play other people music.
osh súper, I loved this set! thanks buddy
On je pronasao sebe u koordinantnom sistemu konfuzije. Malo njih uspe u tome.
What a lame audience … how you keep your synths (don’t) behaving themselves … wonderful ❤ … take care of you posture, you’re gonna get old sooner or later
Love it! So much respect for anyone that can pull off a set like this with so many variables in their rig!
Ik 🙏❤️🙏 ben 6 mei bij je in Utrecht!
holy shit, 2016 was 7 years ago? my perception's all fucked up- either way, wish i was there- this is amazing
I think this has usurped it's way into my favorite electronic music for the moment.
this is my kinda crowd! chill af
Which drugs are these people on.. nearly moving at all...even I would drop a doubel dose of xanx I would jump around. Humans can be creepy as hell.
You should change the name of the video to "Colin Benders live at Amsterdam Stand Around Event 2016"
The sound is perfect nonetheless
He has them in a trance for sure.
@20:57 wow!
Respect!!! Very impressive!!! This awe-inspiring performance is why I love modular....Artist ONLY, no posers in this game! Faking the funk or a halfass approach is not possible. To do it well requires a humble artist with shitload of dedication, time, patience, passion, sacrifices and unfortunately.....money lol. Bet that rack wasn't cheap Colin but it sure was a damn good investment. I buy gear and records before paying bills on time. Thank you for capturing and sharing this set, very inspiring!
Amazing set, would love if he had the opportunity to visit Stockholm!
Brilliant show! I cannot imagine what you went thorough to plan an hour of live playing. I am curious, were there video screens behind you Colin?
