Dear Christian, I only just realized that you started your new company. Your videos, tipps and tricks have been a goldmine for my work since I came in touch with products you’ve been involved in. Wishing you and your company success because you really are an inspiration for us composers since so many years. all the best! Thomas

Thanks Thomas. It’s comments like these that keep me going!

I’d LOVE to see that Modular 101 video (series?)!!

At the very heart of things, where creation will bloom anew

Hopefully you become more successful than ever before. You deserve every bit of it.

Such a kind comment, thank you.

.. Christian, you are BLESSED, congratulations My Friend!!.

Christian I've always loved your videos, and I love this new concept. But you've been through a lot. I'm so pleased you're back on KZread but it's with the greatest respect that I want to say you look stressed. I hope you're okay. I'm overjoyed about this new chapter, and appreciate your honesty. And the 'commune' idea looks great. But you've already mentioned that one of your team is sick because he's worked so hard. Look after yourselves.

We will... note to self, don't launch a company in late autumn when flu season starts! It has been a stressful time, but the love and support I have around me is nothing short of sensational.

I wish you best of luck. What feels missing is your talking to us up on a hill on a cloudy day while your dogs sniff around

Your best comment was the analogy of the “accidental photograph”. That really sums up what we all strive for; to capture a moment in time that is unique and special. Thanks for the tour!

This man is an absolute treasure. We're supporting everything you and the team does, Christian. Thanks for speaking your mind on the process, art, describing an instrument's story, . . . everything! Wishing you all the best and I'm totally getting String Murmurations!

Now this is how you do a comeback! What a great idea - wish you every success.

Congrats on the new space, Christian. Wishing you the very best of fun and good fortune to you and the Crow Hill team. Please keep delivering that cheeky humour I have come to love. All the best from Sydney, Australia - Cheers, Pete

I haven't seen your videos for months and just found crow hill Chanel the last few days, ur a little more direct and creative and less scripted when you speak and explain your ideas, more feel, more like a rock star than a film composer these days, its really inspiring

So great to see you embark on this next chapter... and the idea of Crow Hill as a cooperative and collaborative enterprise is wonderful.

1 word - wow

So happy to have you back on this platform, it's incredibly refreshing :)

You are a true inspiration Christian. Murmations is in my cart. Looking forward to creating with more Crow Hill sonic explorations. Best of luck in the new space!

Love it, a space to create the sacred gift of music, by music lovers that honour music

great to see you back!

I'm only a hobbyist though was in bands and did records in my younger black and white life. We've set up the back room in oir new small house as a chill out/creative space. My studio is in there, my daughter is getting into DJings so that's in there and it's full of art and astehtics peices we love that inspire us. It's also a great great space to hang out in listening to music and chatting, eating, drinking etc. So I'm totally on board with what you're saying. There are times in the night I'll just pop down and work on a song because it's there but also because it feels part of me and comfortable. Home and creativity are now inextricably linked and it's fruitful and fun.

Delighted to see you back after all that bizarro world stuff, which thankfully seems to have the tide finally turning against it all. Great stuff ...very best wishes in all of your future endeavours.

Great to see the Psychomania poster tucked away behind the door . A fitting tribute to your dad . Great horror film. Underrated .

@@ChristianHensonComposer I can imagine ! The theme music would fit your funk vibe . Perhaps a remake of it? My mate's dad was Tony Tenser who produced The Witchfinder General. Great times with large amounts of beverage support

What a great mindset.

Loving the space and the energy. Great to see you set up in the new place. It is quite Grange like. I remember the call on the morning after the auction when you asked me to check online, as you may have bought a mixer owned by Hendrix after indulging in the free wine. You took the news of the final bidding figure very well as I recall. Big love and have fun. x

I bought some Lombardi dynamic microphones 15 years ago for a band I was working with king Midas sound. They were excellent and much more refined on vocals than 57’s. They are still going strong

Congrats for all the work you've achieved, and the true speech about how you do things. I wish and give you all the strength you deserved to continue in that direction. Love the content, love the ideas. Cheers from Paris.

What a Luvly tour of yr studio set up . I’d prolly break a hip if I attempted walking dwn those stairs from The Juliet room 😂 Look fwd to seeing the rest of the studio rooms- Cheers from California

Yes plz to a video of the eventide! I’m slowly building a small modular and was looking at it repeatedly!

This looks amazing!

Christian, incredible what you buildup there. Looking forward to the next tour and the projects you gonne launch.

Absolutely fantastic dream set up, wishing you and all involved every success!

Love it - inspirational as usual!

Really inspiring ethos and location. Best of luck.

Awesome!

I absolutely love the idea of being a part of an artistic/musical residence. I sadly am far away from having that opportunity, but it definitely seems like the most artistically explosive sort of setting - the fact that it's not an intensive formal setting is massive and cannot be overstated. The opportunity to work with other artists is invaluable. It is a retreat and long holiday I would love to be able to have. May your company be the birthplace of some amazing and creative music!

Oh i see !! - we have ourstudio in craigmillar next to Niddrie very quiet also... NOT ! hope you all good man !

Fantastic place - sounds brilliant!

Inspirational tour! 😊

Inspiring as always! Great to have you back.

Very nice, well done

Great tour and great concept! Looking forward to all future endeavours!

This is awesome! Can’t wait to be a part of it and hopefully visit your wonderful space someday Keep going

Absolutely amazing! What a space

The space looks so dope Christian! Can't wait to check it out sometime! ♥

4:44 Setlist from Iggy & the Stooges 2004/2005 tour... Ah, that brings back mind-altering memories! Incredible space, Christian!

Love it. Congratulations.

I love it.

Magnificent video and facility… cheers 🍻

How Awesome is this. So glad to see this and looking forward to seeing and hearing more. 😊

This awesome! thanks for showing us around your world!

Wow! beautiful place indeed

Something lost, but something's gained

This is so inspiring..thank you

Looks absolutely brilliant, good luck for the future

Place looks great, SO comfy yes you are onto something here.👍🏻

Great to have you back. Looks like a great space

So glad it’s all coming together for you Christian, I wish you many years of happy music making!

Congratulations. this is incredible. And yes, I would love a video series on the basics of synthesis

Totally agree with how modular helps you learn synths and lose yourself for hours in sound design creating wow factor moments.

I love it. I can’t wait to hear new the products you will be putting out.

Having all the favourite tools at hand is the key to this space, wonderful!

Amazing! Congrats Christian. Looking forward to walking this new journey with you. Hope to visit one day. Cheers!

We love you dude .Keep on with the good stuff

Lovely vision Christian! Thank you and greeting from Australia!

That is a beautiful house.

Fantastic

Followed you for a few years, this place is so beautiful and i love your whole ethos. thank you. I really hope i can visit one day

That's a lovely space!

As someone who listened to electronic music almost exclusively since the mid 80s but didn't actually get into making music until the plugin era, I would love to see a tutorial on the modular stuff. There are some great virtual modular systems available such as Voltage Modular by Cherry Audio. Also, I would love to hear Christian do a retro electronica album with deference to great of the 70s

Ditto from me - more modular please. Haven't the space for the hardware (sold all my old synths) so I've been getting into the Softube modular ecosystem - which so far sounds excellent. Buchla modules in particular.

Great to see you full of energy and ideas! Viva Crow Hill. ... and btw. both latest albums of your wife are very nice.

Thanks for the tour, Christian. I'm not really clear on how all the parts of your project relate to each other; and I don't need to be! Good luck with it. I'd be interested to see you exploring the Eventide Misha module or modular synthesis more generally. At this point, my plan is to use my little Niftycase for - mostly - effects and filters to use with my Taiga semi-modular, guitar, and so on. But the temptations are great! And thanks for introducing me to Helene Vogelsinger and Snakes of Russia, back when you were releasing a sample library inspired by un-notated musical traditions.
