    This was recorded 6 months ago when I was still smoking!! I have quit for 3 months now!

      Junkie XL it confused me, haha. BTW, how are you liking the Matrixbrute?

      Unfortunately, I didn't quit soon enough. Now surviving Stage IV laryngeal cancer. But the good news? Didn't effect my ears or my playing. Glad to know you quit Tom. It's tough I know. I quit 197 times. best success with that. And it will bring you many more years of composing.

      Hi Tom, first of all I am very thankful to you for sharing all this information to all of us, I would like to ask a question if it would be possible for you to add in your upcoming Q and A sessions, and that is how do you manage all the data that you have gathered over the years(for example your sample libraries, sounds etc) and what is your computer setup for scoring( computer specs and if you are using host and slave machines then what would be the ideal way of doing it for film scoring) once again-Thank you very much... Good Luck and Cheers for your upcoming projects!!!

      Best decision ever :) Was worried you might melt through a patch cable for a moment :/

    Says it not a complete modular performance. Outperforms everybody 🔥

  • @brendon209
    @brendon209 3 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    When he lit his cigarette halfway into his performance while mixing and filtering, it put a great smile on my face!
    I'm glad he quit smoking for 4 years now if I'm correct, I really like and respect the man.

    I see so many awful modular performances you forget how good it can be. This is great.

    This is STILL my absolutely favorite studio time video of all time! I keep coming back here to watch and share!

  • @OneManAndHisSongs
    @OneManAndHisSongs 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Absolutely incredible. One of the best TH-cam videos I've ever seen. Your awareness of pace, and having the patience to allow themes to develop, is an inspiration!

  • @ikonhero
    @ikonhero 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Modular is good.
    Smoking is bad.
    €100k is what I wish I had.
    Thanks for the time and effort to make stuff like this. This is high quality TH-cam. It doesn't get much better than this!!

    JunkieXL is not creating sound with his synth wall..he is connecting us to the matrix of his mind.

    That was way more musical than most of the modular videos on YT.

    • @Rhythmicons
      @Rhythmicons 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      It was made more dramatic with the Junkie XL score in real time. Good catch hah!

  • @davenik1999
    @davenik1999 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    As a fellow artist, I must accept your assertion that this is an “unfinished” piece. But HOT DAMN, that’s some EPIC f***in’ around! That loose, rattling bass sound that you introduce around 13:25…🤯. I’m saying this after a listen through my tiny iPhone speakers…can’t wait to run it through my hifi!

  • @obelisco1089
    @obelisco1089 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    @mr7w1tch 6 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    I feel like my interest in modular isn't quite valued by a lot of people (as a kid in Colorado), but this video inspired me to start a 5u system anyway. Thanks!

  • @christoroppolo8742
    @christoroppolo8742 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Junkie I really enjoyed this! BECAUSE you did this in a non planned non produced fashion. I wish everyone understood how important this part of our craft is ! And how much a simple recording of a performance like this is! GREAT! Peace Christo

  • @FUNKINETIK
    @FUNKINETIK ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I see there is a video from 4 years after this where Tom says he’s selling his gear and explains why - I bet he’s going live in a yurt and play the sitar instead.

    Such a dreamy sequence.
    We live in the golden age of music with all the available instruments and yet the mainstream sound is such garbage.
    Anybody who like this I applaud you. You are a better human being.

  • @golf-freq
    @golf-freq 6 ปีที่แล้ว +44

    Math pop quiz: Determine how many unique combinations are possible with this setup. A hint: It's more than your brain can comprehend. Patching and tweaking for a trillion years you would still never exhaust all the possible combinations/values. Yet these potential sounds are already there living in the wall, always already waiting on you to release them into the wild. Long live JunkieXL!

    • @cyberschn1tzel997
      @cyberschn1tzel997 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      golf-freq neurology (?) pop quiz: how many sounds on this wall can we distinguish?

    • @aljowen
      @aljowen 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Well sure, but you don't need a whole wall of synths to achieve that, you can walk through a couple city streets and no doubt record more sounds than you could ever practically use. In fact, just wander into your kitchen and there is a huge host of interesting sounds that you can use.
      I guess the moral is, a wall full of synths is nice, pretty damn awesome in fact, but you can get just as many combinations of sounds in many other places too, often for free assuming you have some form of microphone.

    • @0Metatron
      @0Metatron 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      the 5u modulars are not that complicated, I can't wait for the eurorack one because that can really have a crazy amount of possibilities but this big wall is simpler than you think

    • @R---66---R
      @R---66---R 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      And all this, despite of (in his own words) 'just find some sounds and loops'...........it's become a timeless composition!

    Dear Lord, I've just witnessed a video of "the Jackson Pollock of sound." Seriously! When you watch old footage of Pollock painting It's 100% a match with Tom, especially when he brought out the cigarette... Like... Spooky...

  • @audios22
    @audios22 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Sure would have been nice sitting in the studio during the '60's with a little blu cheer and a Hookah. Sounds are way more intense than a Moog of that era. Nice Tom. Love to get a sample library of some of your modular synth patches.

    Klaus Schulze or an early Tangerine Dream would be happy with that one. Impressive use of bass. Nice. Some of the sounds remind me strongly of Interstellar.

    Tom! You are a savior for those of us who will never have the opportunity to actually even see these synth and experience live. I almost can't as I live where things are kind of obliterated. You are the best tutor out there who shares his creative stuff with us FOR FREE. We are in debt thankful to you and can't repay. A request though. Some of us cannot buy those expensive tutorials to watch the creative process so can you please invite your friend Mr. Hans Zimmer who could show some of his tips and tricks in a casual way just like you? It will be good to see how pros like you and him collaborate. May be an idea to invite your RC friends like Alan Meyerson or others, just saying. Thank you again.
