God almighty created a rock that He himself could not lift. Legend has it Tom picked it up and chucked it.

I had the impression that Buchla was going to jump out of my monitors and eat me alive, what an amazing sound!

This series is next level, what a treat. nice one! thanks for sharing

Nice demonstration! I really love how each person can get totally unique things out of modular!

We see these in the early years of YMO's live performance. Love the sound.

Thank you Tom! 😊 Getting to hear what all this can let you make, helps with the absorption of all this information. ❤

Damn, what a treat. Thanks so much for these amazing soundscapes.

This is really amazing! Sounds excellent.

That was a trip to listen too!!! WOW!!! 🤯😲🤩😍😎

Brilliant video! More more more please!

First modular performance I felt a connection and experience from. well done!

A master at work!

Wow! Inspirational and meserizing, very inventive!

Great performance man, love it 🔥👍🙏🏻🙌🏻

That was a really impressive demonstration!

reminds me a bit of random xs / fading away. cool that you are back and thx for doing this. highly apreciate, that you are using a mic now.

I'm a huge fan of autopan, so I absolutely loved this!

Wow man, that is the most interesting I have heard in yrs. You inspired me to run to my synths, oh oh where'd the time go.

Love it! Thanks ✌🏼

Fantastisch,.. Omhoog en Omhoog.

I've had the rare opportunity to learn and use a Buchla in college (*ahem* - way back) and it is a mighty instrument. Thank you for sharing - this brings back memories (and, um, maybe I'll have to get my own now ;-)

Woah! Here we go!

Yes! More Buchla!

I see you plunked down on “The Buchla Starter Kit” 😂

Sounds amazing! Never get rid of this rig. Do not sell it.

Yeah, crazy exciting system. It’s interesting to see how to see how you’re thinking / approaching it. I’m trying to plot my own path into modular.. and this content is really helpful.. in some mysterious way that I don’t quite understand. Maybe it just helps to reinforce some big picture idea of where I want to go.. to see you actualizing something similar?

a couple of low and high string Ostinato`s and some low brass you got the new Mad Max theme :D Brilliant demo Tom

super cool

Very nice. Also worth mentioning Suzanne Ciani of course, who has been using Buchla modular from 70s and still is.

I now keep a JBL Bluetooth speaker in my work truck since you started uploading videos again 😊

Awesome

So cool! Thanks for sharing. I was just thinking it'd be great to add some tape delay or something too like an old Marantz or reel to reel possibly. Cheers from Seattle.

Tom ❤

I love how quickly this escalated from “one oscillator” to “future Mad Max score”

No stop!!!!!! MORE!!!! MOOOOOOREEEEEE!!!!

OMG, this is such a greatest Eurorack performance! Thank you for sharing this! The great thing is that this can be also used as an underscore. Please please do patch breakdown. I eager to know how you make those various sounds from one oscillator.

XL any sound pack in the future to DL ?

So I put out the fancy headphones for this and now Im not sure how I could listen to this in the best quality possible. If I so 4k the audio gets better as well or just the visuals?

A question on sound design, for Rebel Moon Part 1 there's a moment where someone points a huge rifle at Kora's face, and the music and audio goes quiet and you just hear this scary evil sound. Did you do that Tom? Where does doing the music and doing the audio end?

Get with Scott Manley and do a DJ Session with the Euro.....

how about: putting together a crazy live sequencing custom rack, and do an hour long improv using all of *both* systems, totally dawless, for next 'jamuary', hmm? what do you say? id love to hear a live set that uses all the oscillators, (maybe robthebloke inspired)? i love that you can use these instruments to layer samples, but i want to see you control both of them live, dawless, tbh. cheers. peace. namaste. ☮

Can really hear that spectral processor

Pretty much the same way you'd record any other synthesizer, just patch the modular's audio output to the input of the recording interface which converts the analog audio to digital. 🙂

Hi Junkie! Will you upload the songs from the new Godzilla x Kong movie?

I estimate that maybe 90% of the sound's atmosphere stems from the 2 'simple' effects you use. It would be interesting to hear what all that equipment is up to without those 2 sound effects.

Thanks Tom for the performance. Some of this would be killer in Deadpool ;)

You're probably not going to reach for this if you have to score a movie in a month. I used to own a few of Hans Zimmers' Buchla modules and apparently he let them go because they weren't immediate enough. Which is true. You have to spend time with them and get to learn them.

Well, Tom somehow has more hours in his days than regular people so I think maybe he'd still go for it ;)

I watched a guy do this back in the late seventies... only difference is... He wore a lab coat.

if you put this at 1.5x is another experience too

How would several detuned saw osc sound thru this patch with shorter attack times... Nice setup for inspiration but I would prefer an fm approach to a get similar sound, teher are many road to the same destination. 😅

you could buy a house with the price of that thing

The question is, is it worth 25k when many VSTi can create these kind of sounds?

If you enjoy making music with the VST on the computer, and it never feels like something that gets in the way of your creative process, or better yet, if you feel so at home on the computer that it’s a really inspiring sound making tool, that’s a great way to proceed. If you’d rather use hardware because the computer doesn’t feel right for you or your creative process, this is a great way to proceed.
