Thank you for this video! Its been said: "People can sense if something is created here and now" .. i wished this would happen more often. :-)
Always a pleasure listening to Anthony. As usual, every minute he talks is gold. Big inspiration and total admiration. Thanks for sharing such amount of knowledge.
Is it just me or are there sirens in every surgeon interview on CZcams?
Indeed! Ajajajja I was just thinking the same xD
I am always so impressed by surgeon capacity to reinvent himself. Such an inspiration!
You enter the flow state when you improv live great interview.
Thanks for the talk!
Thanks a lot for filming It :))
Awesome interview! always love seeing Surgeon talk, and also just acquired T-1 myself, what an amazing performative sequencer it is.
"This system does not have a looper"
Yet the blackbox he has in there truly excells at the job. Was looking forward to hearing how he'd replaced the Octa looper workflow with a BB one. 🤷🏼♀️
I use the korg kp3 as my looper for techno and Blackbox is a tempting upgrade.
Food for your thought
Thank you
fascinating stuff, cheers
drums and roses. Great vid keep them up!
How does the interviewer not know Autechre?
Great news 1.2V + 10V gate + Buchla! Lovely sounds! :)
Surgeon mixing live with pulsar? awesome!

Leder efter gear til et "technoish" live setup og fandt denne. Jeg kendte slet ikke til jer, men hvor er det fedt at der er et dansk firma der laver sådan noget! FEDT!
Hero!
Blackbox with now Bluebox was massive for me.
I raised a support ticket with Arturia to fix the Looper on the BSP some years back. The unit would get stuck in an infinite loop & crash.
It’s great to hear that he make the gigs as an instant composing set! Great interview, thanx for sharing! Greetings 🖖☺️
The best
The best part of this was from 0:00 to 56:49
If I was there I would have laughed at the ‘Sonny & Chair’ joke, it was really funny. : )
Filmed on a 2009 Nokia?

Surgeon had said at 24:55 that he can very easily mute and unmute stuff one handed, but I haven't seen in any demo videos how this is done. From what I have been able to understand, one has to hold down the mute button while pressing track mutes with the other hand. Can someone help me to see what Tony is talking about here?
Double tap the Mute button, then press the buttons you want to mute, press the mute button again and those you've selected will be muted (or unmuted if they were muted before) A really useful way to mute/unmute multiple voices with one hand.
@@anthonychild1877 Yes that particular feature is going to come in handy for sure! Reminds me of the octatrack mute function but better. I wasn't very clear, but what I was driving at was a mute mode where I just tap the tracks and they toggle on and off instantly. I've since mentioned this to Torso Electronics and it seemed quite possible to add it without too much trouble. P.S. Your talks, demos, and live sets on You Tube are a huge source of inspiration and encouragement, and really helping me grow as an artist. Thanks for everything!
So informative and helpful, truly a legend. What does he mean when he says that he squashes everything around the kick drum? Do you think he feeds the kickdrum into the sidechain input of the boum? Or does he let through the kick in the compressor setting with attack up a little and using pretty harsh ratio to squash the rest of the sounds? Got my first live-show coming up and would appreciate any input ❤
He said he's using the kickdrum to squash everything around it, so I take this as meaning he is using it as the sidechain input for the Boum.
Nope. Turns out that's not the case. He addresses it directly at 46:20
@@lukeb1360 yeah I saw that after I made the comment 😂 He also go a bit more in detail with the interview he did with mylar melodi on his podcast why we bleep
He’s probably using pretty fast attack time, enough to let the kick pass through
wise words.... big soundsystem in the club can sound completely different than music in your studio... it's like the mix you built and tweak for weeks, and was perfect, now in a new situation is in ruins...
What is the rectangular box on the front right side of the set up?
Norand mono
The Norand mono ?
The whole setup is listed in the description
@@torsoelectronics ain't nobody got time to read the description
Someone know what synth was used in Magneze track?
Probably Korg Poly-800
@@lukeb1360 wait a confirmation... Thanks
Wibble zone. I know the place.
why in all musician interviews so shitty voice recording (is this some kind of curse?)
Haha, I guess it must be a curse. In the heat of the moment, we forgot to record the mics...
so sic how little modulation he is doing with the P23 - keep it simple MFs
Now that Norand (Nord+Roland ???) is a veeeery expensive plastic fart machine isn't it ?
ooohhh not at all its freaking amazing.
