Great composition as always Jay! Asynchronous looping is fascinating and the cosmos looks very cool indeed, although I didn't understand much of how it works! Hope to see more of it in your future stuff!
My wallet has been demanding that I skip a few of your jams but this is bliss. The Cosmos is very much on the wishlist but also love what you're doing with the GR-1 - not really seen that before. Damn you!
This is beautiful. Ive been going through a stressful time recently, and its so nice to be able to just lie down and listen to you making these gorgeous ambient soundscapes. Honestly, Thank You.
Very beautiful. I’m still constraining myself to Eurorack / modular set ups, but the Cosmos and Tasty Chips are definitely on my list in the future when I want to break out (already have the Sub37 which is awesome). Great performance!
@@jakobgeorgaudio I don’t mean that Eurorack *is* constraining, but that I am constraining myself to that format. Just helps me focus and not keep adding / changing outboard gear, etc. 😃

.................this is pulling lightfibres of Godly beauty From the deepest recesses of my soul....Ooooh ! Theres a planet here !? .I think I love you jay,-
I was already loving it, then you picked up the guitar and I made the Joe Rogan losing his mind face. Great stuff, man. I love longer ambient jams like this.
Beautiful... And quite impressive that it's live. Huge sounds from a not too huge set up... Small actually compared to others. It sounds like you're in a cathedral.
great! cosmos is awesome. me, i've been using multiple (deeply differing) looping devices for a few decades, myself, to similar (but sonically differing) temporal & atemporal effect.
Interesting routing. Although I’m a bit confused about how the GR1 is playing; do you have audio from the synth playing into the GR1 as well, and then to the mixer?
Thanks for this (again!) beautiful performance👍👍👍. I agree with you that the COSMOS is a game changer! I was lucky to get one after waiting for too long, and since then I am using it in all my performances….it is so easy and intuitive to use!
so intersting, nuanced and minimal...............I'm truly seduced by the Cosmos, so I'm really happy to have found this...................awesome...............
Very interesting and educational, a great wall-of-sound with your gentle touch. Stayed for the entire performance. Thank you for your valuable contributions.
Anyone who is simultaneously across the world's most inventive music company (SOMA), the world's best boutique pedal company (Union Tube and Transistor) and the world's best granular synth (GR-1), is a hero and must be respected. Get a Lyra-8!
nice video thanks. do we have to pay attention to the volume of sound that is inserted into the cosmos? I mean if the volume it receives is too high, could it damage the cosmos? I recently damaged a loop pedal :D
It will clip if you put too much into the input, but as far as I know, it won't damage the Cosmos. It does a great job of handling many layers of looping/sound without requiring much thought from the user.
Jay your content is simply some of the best on TH-cam. It's inspiring to see you use such a wide range of gear (with detailed usage instructions) to create wonderful, improvised musical compositions. Kudos! :)
Great stuff! really contemplating getting a soma cosmos. However I fear that it will be difficult to put a beat over such a loop due to no tempo/midi sync. Have you tried this, is it doable via ear to get it in 'sync'?
I'm sure it's pretty difficult, if not impossible, to get it synched to a beat. However, the Cosmos has alternate firmware that loops in a more traditional way, I believe. That said, for a synched looping, I might be inclined toward something that has MIDI for the tempo, like the RC202/505 or at least the 1440 or something. What works best for me and the Cosmos is the lack of structure and dreamlike quality of the looping, but I have thought about another looper on occasion. And thanks!
@@JayHosking thanks, that probably explains why all videos i see with cosmos are ambient style without a beat. Still nice though! But i will stick with my microcosm for the time being; which does have midi sync!
this is great it reminds me of the tiny forest spirits when all the delay kicks in .. sounds like granular delay vibes when you feed the Polymoon (?)... that gear must be so meditative to use :)
Full ambient albums up at jayhosking.bandcamp.com, and some of them on streaming. This is my first Cosmos track, though (well, I just recorded another). And thanks!
You've played/used a lot of Moogs. Do you think there is one Moog you could pick to use to run through pedals and use for bass lines? I guess what I am really wondering is if one of the smaller and less expensive Moogs (eg Minitaur / Sub 25) could work or is the audio output quality better on say the Sub 37 or larger size Moog? Thanks
@@blindianajones I just run anything through anything, hah. I certainly am not very thoughtful about it all! But I definitely have preferences, analog through time-based effects, digital through "warming" devices, etc., but I say make up the rules as you go!
I love this! It’s funny, I can’t hear Moog leads in an ambient setting like this without thinking C418 / Minecraft 🧱 I’m not even sure it was a Moog used on that soundtrack, but it really sounds like it
I think anything could work through the Cosmos, but I think it works best with performed (rather than sequenced) instruments, as the loops are out of synch. Might be worth just playing the pads on the Deluge, though
Your music is too good for me to be even remotely jealous of your immaculate synth collection.
This is my favorite method of commenting/notating during a performance. Really good stuff!
Very beautiful very beautiful indeed. Such sweet sounds the Cosmos does look and sound very interesting.
What a nice piece of music... I love the sounds of the Subsequent 37, it can be so melodic.And the Cosmos really pulls everything together.
The wall of sound on the Low end had me thinking of the most epic moments of interstellar. So cool
I also thought of interstellar, but less dramatic. 😀
And Lorn’s Acid Rain in some Eno-ish way :). Really nice piece of improv!
Great composition and beautifully executed!
I've ordered a Cosmos, which should arrive any day.....so great to have this excellent introduction to help demonstrate it's properties....
Really stunning. You are an awesome musician. Thank you for the performance.
Great composition as always Jay! Asynchronous looping is fascinating and the cosmos looks very cool indeed, although I didn't understand much of how it works! Hope to see more of it in your future stuff!
I very much thought of you and your previous video on asynchronous looping when I starting playing with the Cosmos. Hope you're well!
Fantastic stuff
Thank you 🙏... really beautiful.
Beyond words, but I'll try; this beautiful sound is angelic.

I really appreciate hearing this. Take care, and here's hoping the stressful time passes soon.

Very beautiful.

Are Euroracks really constraining? I feel like it's the opposite! Don't own any though.

@@MikkelGrumBovin ha, nice!!!
wow
So good! What algorithm on the cosmos is this using?
Is t the big reverb algorithm? I notice you leave it Recordinf the whole time. :)
This sound catches me into extra deep unconsciousness worlds! Thank you! You made not only my day! Very experiencing!
Very good, but which firmware do you use for the Cosmos?
Just the same as it came with. I've never updated it or changed it at all.
What's that white synth? Also, is there a Waldorf Iridium??
The white synth is the Tasty Chips GR-1. Using the Strymon Iridium (not Waldorf Iridium) on guitar amp sim.
I love you
I heard him first !
are you planning on doing any non ambient stuff with the moog one?
Probably not in the immediate future. The size of the synth makes it difficult to integrate into setups.
@@JayHosking I would love to see a jam where you used all your synths at once lol
@@logimite7174 Hah! Love it.

You are a Genuise , a towering giant of blissfull , thought-evoking , soundscapes ..... im litteral in tears .....
Beautiful... And quite impressive that it's live. Huge sounds from a not too huge set up... Small actually compared to others. It sounds like you're in a cathedral.
I just have to say, I constantly return to this video simply for how gorgeous it is! Great work!
Same!
great! cosmos is awesome. me, i've been using multiple (deeply differing) looping devices for a few decades, myself, to similar (but sonically differing) temporal & atemporal effect.
This is actually good ambience, you could teach Hainbach a thing or two about creating interesting ambience
this sounds fantastic and is the closest demo I've seen to how I envision using the cosmos. thanks!
Sounds fantastic! Are you using the Cosmos pedal at the end of your chain?
YOU GOT A COSMOS I AM SO JEALOUS. It sounds SO good here! I've been on the preorder list for ages haha.
did you finally get yours?
Thank you so much - absolute beautiful! This Video really inspired me to play with my Cosmos (again).
Interesting routing. Although I’m a bit confused about how the GR1 is playing; do you have audio from the synth playing into the GR1 as well, and then to the mixer?
What usb interface do you recommend ?
Trying to hook a guitar plus pedalboard
Then ending with the Cosmos
This was amazing. I’d love to hear an album of this.
From the thumbnail I was expecting an ‘all the gear…no idea’ piece but how wrong was I!?
Love this. I’m torn between the Tasty Chips and the new Torso S4. Thanks.
Thanks for this (again!) beautiful performance👍👍👍. I agree with you that the COSMOS is a game changer! I was lucky to get one after waiting for too long, and since then I am using it in all my performances….it is so easy and intuitive to use!
The best example of the SOMA. I finally made the purchase! I get that looping melody stuck in my head all time by the way.
Certainly one of your best. Good work!
really super nice
Why very much about the Cosmo and very little about the moog
Beautiful sound, incredibly pretty cable management, very much appreciated
@@BeastlyAnteater heck no, love chaos, but also dream of mythical levels of tidiness too :)
EPIC!!! Like every time...

Do you own all these instruments or do you borrow them sir?
Very interesting and educational, a great wall-of-sound with your gentle touch. Stayed for the entire performance. Thank you for your valuable contributions.
This is beautiful! Very inspiring. Btw, are you happy with that Mackie Mixer? What are your thoughts on it?
The Mackie mixer is simple and it works! It was what I had around at the time, but I'm super happy with the end results. And thanks!

my cosmos is on the truck for delivery i'm so excited and this definitely stokes my excitement. great performance!
The Tasty Chips GR-1 really brings it all together.
What a time to be alive. Well done with that kind of awesome innovations.
Рад за Тебя!))
I love how you combine musics together. Always so beautiful. Thanks.
A new Jay Hosking video, what a great way to end the day :-)
Good staff with machines is the White one with the screen and faders whatnits the name of that ? I m curious
That's the Tasty Chips GR-1!
This was the best demonstration of the Cosmos I found so far. Amazing soundscapes, thank you!
Beautiful! Thx😊
Jay Hosking Ambient Works No.?
Great work.
Do you know the reference?
Thanks! Not sure what you mean, but are you referring to Aphex?
@@JayHosking
Yes, his Selected Ambient Works.
Your piece fits in with that.
@@theadventuresofsnareface4218 High praise. Thank you.
“Aphex Twin Selected Ambient Works Volume Two - Rhubarb” is the track this one would mix well with.
Can listen on repeat for hours.

I flew into space.
This was very beautiful, anb I liked the little comments you put on top so that we could follow along. Insta-subbed.
You've played/used a lot of Moogs. Do you think there is one Moog you could pick to use to run through pedals and use for bass lines?

The Minitaur is the best synth I have ever used for bass, bar none. It is stupendous in that regard and just has a special something.
@@JayHosking What synth do you prefer running through guitar pedals? Do you think digital synths are better for clarity through a pedal?

If my memory serves me right, I believe C418 pretty much exclusively uses software... but I get your point :) that soft warmth!
🔥🔥🔥
Amazing demo man. Really really good! So musical! Do you still keep microcosm having cosmos doing these things?
Hi Jay, nice jam, do you think adding the Deluge to cosmos would make sense? Do you think it could be a good match?
I think anything could work through the Cosmos, but I think it works best with performed (rather than sequenced) instruments, as the loops are out of synch. Might be worth just playing the pads on the Deluge, though
@@JayHosking mmm yes it's what I thought too, thanks for answering
Really Good Stuff
Amazing music❤
Thank you, lovely piece of improv and now I need to add the Cosmos to my ever expanding wishlist :D
Действительно круто))
This made my day! Great listen! Thank you, Jay!
lovely shtuff ♥
Does anybody knows a VST that's similar to what the soma cosmos is doing ? BTW, wonderful piece, as always Jay !
merci
There isn't aftertouch for the filter on the Moog? OR, maybe not a good feeling aftertouch?
Ok,grazie
Big Church ...
Bravo!!! I can’t wait till I have enough cash saved for the Cosmos!! Hope I can make some stuff this beautiful w it!
Great video.
