- Unlike many electronic music duos, brothers Phil and Paul Hartnoll don’t just go on stage spinning turntables and then call that a performance. Orbital plays live techno using real synthesizers, drum machines, effects processors, Ableton Live, iPads, and MacBook Pros. In this video from Moogfest 2012, they give us a quick but close-up look at all the gear they drag onstage for a concert, explaining how they pull everything together to perform live music on the fly.

Two of the best fellas in dance music.
Their setup live back in the early 90's was totally mental, so many synths and Alesis sequencers. Amazing music, great lives and some of the geekiest guys i have ever seen.
Just wow
🔥❤️🎶😎
it was my mate mike that set up their ipad's on grid for them and showed paul how to use it ...then about 2 years after it phil remixed one of my tracks
Orbital got me through some tough times
Same story! Actually their music is like a soundtrack of my life since 90's.
Orbital is all about being free. Be free dough boy 🔥
Orbital is my favorite techno group. They are great.
Your local music store: "you know, this $4k synth is used by the pros"
The pros: "over here we've got the Ipads"
Back in the day , late 80's early 90's saw orbital many times , best gig I saw, totally off it in manchester ( 1992 ) asked the sound guy what time were orbital playing. He said they just finished mate off my nutz
Orbital have been the soundtrack of my life. Normal nice blokes too.
One of these little bunnies was feeling some effects! :D But Very informative. Good old Orbital. So nice to see them. So nice they Made it too, from those heady 90's! Thanks Guys. all these years later.
Amazing to hear those guys talking about their setup so genuinely, as if it was their first tour.
The one in green looks like he's on the virge of transforming into a wherwolf.
On no! It’s a full moon tonight too!
For real. Hes on molly or something, lucky bastard
.
lardosian I think he was being inspired by the background sounds.
Or he was imitating Mark Hamill after the premiere of TLJ when he learnt his favorite character died, not recollecting having filmed that scene himself.
Drugs. How else could they make such music :)
'I wish i had ducks feet! You can av that! One of my faves! God bless you Orbital!Seen you 4 times live including glastonbury 2004! Best memories Xxx
So nice awesome to learn from masters themselves
Awesome. Thanks for catching that info, it could have been 2 hours long I'd have been happy.
Right lads, you're on with three other bands and have 15 minutes to change over.
Man you are 2 musical wizards
Love your muzik /sound ❤so much ❤🎶🎶🎶
And seeing your equipment is mind blowing
It’s so good to see 😎
proper performance - bravo
Tempest users: Always surprised and over excited to see other people using a Tempest! Yes I am. 🤗🤗
Your guys set up is rad!
,man I used to LOVE to love Orbital. ‘Lush’ was a favorite single. I’d love to see an interview.
Pretty cool.
Years ago, they were asked by someone to take this route and use a computer onstage, and they told him to fock off.
nice set up. Its takes alot of knowledge….
I think Phil was trying to work out if anyone else could hear that clanging.
i know Im asking randomly but does anyone know of a tool to get back into an instagram account..?
I stupidly lost my login password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me.
@Raphael Zion instablaster =)
@Zachariah Braydon thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im trying it out atm.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Zachariah Braydon it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thanks so much, you saved my account!
@Raphael Zion Happy to help xD
That did make me laugh, I couldn’t stop 😀
Giants!!! : P
I wanna know what they got the sans amp in the mix for!
It's always Orbital Time.
i personally favour the Strabo V17 over the Ableton, it goes full force dynamic when coupled with a Tandroid Monosynth and an Italian flatbread with peppers..
nothing beats patching hommus tahini garlic through the Matrixbrutes matrix patchbay. Analog out straight to your throat
Not the sun-dried tomato option on the filters?
Like any good antipasto best applied in the pre-filter stage
Surely the unsung hero holding all these setups together is the Cardinal Grammeter, first introduced in the Turbo Encabulator. Truly a revelation when introduced to the musical world. czcams.com/video/Ac7G7xOG2Ag/video.html
At the end there I thought Phil was gonna freak out.
Yep - He's certainly "experiencing" something - picked that up straight away - but hey, what a LOVELY smile he gave at the end (probably some relief too :D)
Probably a tune hit his head with all that banging and clanging going on in the background
Amazing comment :) made me laugh out loud
I noticed that right as I read it
It's like when your coming up strong
Cool
It would have been to see a demo from their point of view.
δεν εχουν κιθαρα ομως και πως θα παιξουν το να μ'αγαπας το βραδυ στη παραλία;
Hmmmm they cut Paul off just when it started getting interesting...
Sampled the sampler yep these are official madlads. Thanks for the intr% view propane is not a toy
Last time I saw there setup was they had 8 ipads and a disc full of loops..for your mac..give it up!
Dude on the right looks like he's coming up a little from 5 mins onwards hahaha
Off his chops
Phil always looks like he's ready to start raving at the drop of a hat.
He looks high as shit.
5:50 Epic zone out
phills ready for chime 2019 version
But which brother raved harder? ;)
I love my ipad
"which is quite good fun actually..."
So basically your saying that basically that thing basically controls the basic thing
I'm trying to introduce my Android pad into my set-up in a similar way but can't seem to get near anything I'm happy with. Android is severely lacking in usable progs, rubbishness matched by my command of these things.
As much as I understand that technology advances and opens artists up to new worlds, I do kind of miss Orbital playing live with massive banks of synths and fx units. This pared down setup makes travelling easier but just seems like it is missing some of that soul. Not anything against using that type of gear and soft-synths, I mean without that I would never have been able to also get into music production as those hardware synths and vintage synths are damn expensive. I have just always associated Orbital with tons of gear, which you can still see bu watching videos of Phil showing his gear room.
They still do stuff with tons of their synths but seems like it varies what they can take on the road cause some of the synths they have are massive
Fantastic! :)
what submixer is that? Glad to see people using synths instead of software
🍀SnaTch🎶
I still don't know what those white rectangle things are that look like calculator rulers. I see them taking a couple out before each tune.
SADCOCK1970 they're a list of time codes and levels for whatever synth they place it on
Could also be channel label strips for a mixing desk, although it doesn't look like they use a big hardware mixer. I know Underworld do this though.
I thought this was a joke about Xanax.
Are they iPads with the 30pin connector??
tronlady1 I think they said 2012, so more than likely.
basically
this is much easier to understand on mute
He completely cut him off and took over HS !
Best bit!
We all sound like nerds!
Animus ... and it feels sooo good 😉
Dude in green jacket is rolling yall. Heavy breathing and cant keep mouth or body still. Am i wrong?
Can't believe you're trying to hurry them up and end this.
Sorry, but we got a late start, and I had an appointment for another interview. I regret it, too.
...What does "regret" mean?
@@sunhammer420 Bwa-ha!
hectic
Phil is like this is awkward
might have been nice to hear a few examples.
Found a nice little clip showing them actually using what looks similar to this setup: czcams.com/video/SBlyjoBBCHU/video.html
Phil is having an LSD flashback
#EmuEmax
A B C... lol
They've just said they've got the entire set as one track in ableton!? Then why they need so much hardware on stage?
LP Fabra those are mainly just midi patterns laid out in the set order: they are sending those to the hardware, because it sounds good and it’s fun to play live.
The only sound that comes from a computer are the clips, which are basically triggers to stored samples. The interviewer should have asked about the colour coding of the clips.
Guess which one has taken the most drugs!
Can't u just press play
Ableton, hahaha they use to use ACID LOOPS by sony
Bring back the MT8’s........not.
saw them 25 years ago when they used musical instruments. Akai's and Emax's. Juno's and jupiters and Xpander. So sad to see ableton and iPads.... They may have been on DAT then but at least the gear was there.
I think it may give them more flexibility to change on the fly. Their sets are noticeably different than the old ones. I’m sure part of that is cause they’ve remade so many older tracks. But where they were performing instruments before, they seem to be more improvisational now, and I imagine Ableton has helped provide that flexibility. Sort of like how Sasha’s DJ sets completely changed when Ableton first came out. Hard to stay fresh for 30 years, gotta change it up somehow.
@@kappakai78 Yep, hate it. Color by numbers.
Keyboard Magazine seems to have zero interest in hardware synths! What a totally frustrating watch!
If they'd had any hardware synths on stage that day, you'd have seen them.
@@gearyelton My bad, modules, mixer and the module with a keyboard. Orbital has interest, interviewer cum cameraman clearly doesn't by the quality of his shots, imo.
0:04 Guy in green: IM SO HAPPY WE ARE GETTING FILMED, WE ARE BECOMING REAL ROCKSTARS! OH MY GOD CANT WAIT TO SHOW MY SETUP TO HIM!.
Guy in blue: Im so happy when this is done, who tf even is this interviewing us....?
Orbital are legends in electronica. They've been rockstars for a very long time. They are likely both annoyed by all the background noise, but the one brother is just usually happy.
oh sorry didnt know that haha, the dude in the green just looks so funny happy. good for them tho ;p
No worries! Yes, Phil Hartnoll is definitely the more relaxed of the two.
These two look like they don't get along...
Tera Pixel Perhaps. They are brothers after all. But i think the annoyance vibe particularly from Orbital P not talking much was due to the staging works incessant clanging , rattling and reverse alarm bleeping.
something not right here
.... and thank you gentlemen, I understand! Except he doesn't understand any of it. .. sad face
Orbital using multiple ipads. Very sad to see. Digital, no longer Orbital. 😔👎
