TMA and Friends live in Solingen - Full Concert - 10th Anniversary 2014-2024
For the 10th anniversary, I have decided to release this unpublished video for you.
On August 30, 2014, TMA and Friends played a concert in Peter Amann's Atelier Pest Project at the Güterhallen Solingen. This concert can be classified as one of the highlights of TMA and Friends and I have wonderful memories on this evening. The Atelier was filled to the last seat and the temperatures became tropical as the evening progressed, but the atmosphere was unbelievably good. Unfortunately, I have never experienced this atmosphere again in this form. I hope you follow my flashback and enjoy our music.

Hyrn&Hertz - Soma Terra Session
zhlédnutí 240Před 21 dnem
This was my first attempt with the Soma Terra. After a great introduction from Björn on how to use it, I tried my luck with the controls, which were unfamiliar to me. You can perform incredibly expressively with the Soma Terra. I definitely still need a lot of practice, but fortunately the learning curve is not that steep. The device has now landed on my wish list. Many thanks to Björn/Klangzau...

My second ambient track with the Soma Cosmos Looper. Sound device was only the Nord Lead A1 synthesizer. No additional FX added. Unfortunately I forgot to check the line level before recording directly into my audio interface. Sorry for the sometimes distorted sound.

5:36 beautiful sound 😍😍
Lovely Berlin vibes. Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@TMA-Torsten_M._AbelI certainly did and I am looking forward to hearing more of your music going forward.
The Voyetra, the Gleeman! One big museum is in Italy too, in the Marche region. Now this. I wonder if there are some others close to Italy too, my country, worth to be visited. I could prepare a tour...😄 Thanks You so much for this documentary!!👍
Gorgeous tone & texture on this T !
@@garaughty thank you very much
Amazing !

Edel! Danke!
Spannend!
Sehr schön. ❤
wow.. this is stunning.. you are able to tame this devices and make magic from them
@@Hessencemusic 🙏😊
Lyra... cosmos... and this soundscape. I really love this kind of session. Amazing music man!

Nice! Und schön entspannt. Ab etwa 5:10 dachte ich irgendwie: Ah, da isser wieder :D Sehr nice sounds.

@@Kilian_CabGuy Du wirst es fast nicht glauben, aber ich denke ernsthaft darüber nach ☺️
@@TMA-Torsten_M._Abel würde mich sehr freuen 😀
❤ Seit wann ist denn die ganze große Soma Abteilung bei dir eingeschlagen. Was für eine tolle Klanglandschaft! Unfassbar weit das ganze. I ❤ it!

@@sonusastrum5051 danke mein Lieber
Great sounds, amazing arranged!
@@LiMAsoundart 🫶🏻
This is a beautiful piece of equipment
nice... love the arp with the korg and the nord is suprisingly sweet .... is the delay the roland space echo 201 in Boss pedal format ? (yeah nerdy questions , but i'm a synth and fx lover)
@@smartti1970 many thanks 🙌🏻 Yes you are right, it was the Boss Space Echo
The music behind the images called Struktur that you created is really very nice... i enjoyed listening every minute of the 19mn14 ... what synths and effects are used ?
@@smartti1970 thanks for your comment. I’m not sure what synths I have used in this track. Long time ago I recorded it.
@@TMA-Torsten_M._Abel thanks for your reply. oh what a shame, i found the sounds superbe
Greatest grave yard i ever seen!
Not a graveyard! Most of the synths are in great condition and fully working. You can find headphone amplifiers under the tables to plug your headphones in and play the synths
@@TMA-Torsten_M._Abel Yes a grave yard of old obsolete dinosaurs. lol
@@DeadManWalking4574 they said they're obsolete ever since the DX7 1983 ... Yet there've been used still are used and are all over music for the last 50 years.. and still a few people think they're obsolete... And they keep geting more and more value so that grave yard is an investment probably worth millions. A Arp2500 like that would probably go for more 150'000.- and it's value keeps going up .
Thank you! Both to Martin Hollinger and to Torsten Abel. That was inspirational and impressive in equal measure. Synthorama (Luterbach) and SMEM (Freiburg-Fribourg) are now both on my 'To-Do' list for my next visit to Switzerland. Brilliant stuff!
Absolutamente lindo! Já virou meta visitar este museu. Abraço do Brasil! 🇧🇷
Boss which patch number is this on 8:02? 🙏🙏🙏
I’m so sorry, but I can’t remember the bank I’ve loaded. It’s been too long ago
@08:03 killer bass
keep coming back to this video. PPG sounds otherworldly!
Funny. The PPG hardware sound never gets old. Always strong and captivating.
Yeah, it reminds me of a lot of old computer sounds. I think that's how they made the waveforms from a old computer.
It's amazing! Great respect for those people, who managed to collect and save all those synthesizers and other musical equipment for the next generations. Thank You!
La caverne de Ali Baba des synthétiseurs. Prodigieux !
What a fantastic collection of classic analog synthesizer equipment. I once owned an Octave Cat analog synthesizer back in the eighties.
I don't remember Tony Banks having one of these, but it totally sounds like him.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ was eine schöne Titelauswahl mit epischen Ende.
Some of the synth timbres I hear here get me thinking of The Fixx. "Saved By Zero", for example, but then Rupert Greenall did use a PPG Wave. So did Thomas Dolby. Edgar Froese used a precursor to the PPG Wave, the 360A on Stuntman and I hear many of the same timbres that can be done on the Wave.
Can hear GARY NUMAN BERSERKER and SHE CRYS
I associate this Synth with Captain Sensible from Smash Hits photo shoots. Its really quite basic. A weird digital / analouge cross over. Its too thin. Not warm.
‘80s Tangerine Dream. 👍
🙏 Namaste lieber Torsten 🙏 Sehr kreative LIVE Perfomance ! Mir haben besonders deine ANALOGEN Spielzeuge gefallen, wie das Endlosband, die Spieluhr, die Kalimba und der Geigenbogen. Ich werde gleich den kreativen "Doctor Mix" anschreiben, mit Verlinkung zu diesem Video (den Titel dieses Videos nehme ich nur, da Links oft gesperrt werden) das er dich mal einläd, mit seinen Spielzeugen, kreatives zu erschaffen. Das kann eine nachhaltige Kollaboration werden ! 🔮 MAY THE VIBES BE WITH YOU und 🖖 LIVE LONG AND PROSPER 🖖 Sternzeit: 20231112.1944
Welle: Erdball war lange meine Lieblingsband, die mich seit 15 Jahren nicht mehr begeistern kann. Aber die Performance von "Am Ende der Zeit" ist echt großartig.
what an amazing sound the ppg makes and what an amazing man it takes to get it to make those sounds i would never get tired of listening it actually brings a little lump to my throat when i hear that ppg i wish i was able to play a syth
Did not know the PPG could playback samples.
Qué precioso homenaje a nuestra tierra, Torsten y Judy 💙. Qué ganas de verles de vuelta !
@BlueRondoTurk Muchas gracias amigo David. A nosotros también nos gustaría verte de nuevo.
