  • In this show I am playing through my whole ambient album "Illumination Cycle". It was released in May 2021 on the label Synphaera. Most of the music in this album was recorded using my synthesizers, so I arranged all midi clips for the live version. A few additional sounds are coming from Pigments, Omnisphere and other virtual synths.
    If you want to support my work and enjoy the album you can order it on CD or digitally.

      @@rpgisaboutlife4396 cats are conductors between nature and humans. There is some correlation between music/tech gear and cat presence. Maybe cats appear to prevent humans from being completely lost/zoned out in tech sphere. Who knows. What i definitely know is that Martin’s cat hears a lot of exclusive stuff.

    You know my cat's do the same thing as soon as an arpeggiator starts with nice high notes, good attack and delay slap. What I postulate is that cats recognize that there's birds trapped in those boxes and they are pretty sure about it because they can see the birds flying back and forth in front of the tiny windows on some of the boxes because they see the light in the window flash when the birds fly past it blocking the light from inside the box. It's very confusing because it's hard to know how many birds are in each box and which sounds come from which bird. It's also very confusing because the sound of the rooms these birds are huge, yet the boxes are so small. It's very exhausting to think about and it's best to take a nap.
    This is why cat's are attracted to synths.

    love your music! love your cozy place and blinking lights even more!!
    I've been playing bass guitar for 15 years, my thing is mostly rock music, so I sort of understand an instrumentalist's way of thinking. Lately I've been into VCV rack and the synth dimension in general, I really enjoy fiddling around with classic synths emulations, sounds awesome and brings out a certain mood. I even got a few midi keyboards to be able to work with several things at the same time. Still I don't get how to approach this so that it would be music and not just "fiddling around". It's not about how the synths work or how to patch modules or any technical stuff, it's more about philosophy and vision. There's no system and structure in my head and nobody on youtube talks about that. I'd love to hear some thoughts about this from you. It would be awesome if you recorded a video with a detailed explanation of how you do it step by step
