Musique concrète may sound to some like a finicky way to make music, so I hope we managed to show here how easy it can be! Making these recordings and turning them into this patch only took a couple minutes longer than the length of this video :) Thanks as always for watching, Robin!

@Tiktaalik this system is not really a "start your modular here" concept, since it is missing several of the core components of a typical modular synth. You do not need to understand every single thing about it in order to play it, so if it inspires I'd say go for it! On top of that, we offer detailed manuals for every module, video examples for every module, and e-mail support for when things get confusing. :)

This is beautiful. It's like instant Autechre and Transformer sounds Is it me or are we starting to get more and more musique concrete in mainstream music? YAY!

@@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC It was only a matter of time. We listen to this kind of stuff in movies all the time. Now, DAWs and synths, samplers, vsts etc. are more accessible each day. Thru social media and platforms people can find weird music. People are listening to a lot of textured lo-fi / found sound stuff on streaming platforms. Just by looking at the sub counts of several lo-fi artists I've been floored on how many listens they have. We're talking textured ambient beat artists that use found sounds and samples. The game has changed. But like, if we think about 2010 where all the dubstep stuff was wavetable and FM sounds. Those sounds 30 years before would not have been mainstream. The noise has gotten into the global subconscious. Yes!

These videos are so mind opening. They really showcase what you can do with these instruments. If only other manufacturers were as diligent in making video content. I understand not everyone has the budget but sometimes all it takes is sending a module to the right person.

What and exciting system and great walkthrough Walker!! 💥🚀

"We're really looking to find the UNFOUND sounds" that is such an eloquent way to explain the idea of acousmatic music.

Really nice breakdown of the possibilities for creating tape music on that powerful little system. “Finding the unfound sounds” is an approach to creating music on modular systems that would really freshen up the efforts of patch cable addicts. Cheers to MN for getting the word out in an inspiring way! 🎤🍻➡️🎛🎛➡️🎶🌠

"The unfound sounds" is pulled from the About Us section on the Make Noise website. I've considered this as key to the company aesthetic (as well as to my own relation to music): "We see our instruments as a collaboration with musicians who create once in a lifetime performances that push boundaries and play the notes between the notes to discover the unfound sounds. We want our instruments to be an experience, one that will require us to change our trajectories and thereby impact the way we understand and imagine sound. Also, we think what we do is fun and we hope you like it, too." -W

Thanks Todd!

Use Mimeophon's longer delay lines to build up textures as time goes on, and move back to the shorter delay lines to move the focus of the sound back to whatever is currently going on. It's a great improvisation tool.

Just the business. I absolutely love the MG.

When I was about 11year old I had nine tape recording cassette, it was impossible to get a synth, or a mixer etc, so I used to do a lot of recording with tapes play back pause edit, long process but lots of fun, I even put to tape recording at the same time and wow I got delay, also with the walkie talkies,,,, so much fun with noises sounds music editándoles more... now I want a real synthesizer

I’ve been having too much fun with the Maths/Morphagene/Qpas/Mimeophon combo! I like to use an iPhone with Koala Sampler to feed the Morphagene - you can use the phone’s mic input to feed live sounds in and you get the added control of saving those to pads that can be triggered at will and modified with pitch and effects. Really convenient source for the Morphagene.

Just tested this again and the Koala/Phone combo doesn’t have the same spacial/stereo effects that you’re getting from the Zoom - Koala might be recording in mono though you can pan afterwards. Definitely going to check out a Zoom recorder, it sounds really good in your patch here given the stereo capabilities of these killer modules.

ASMR + modular? i like this.

I recently used the Soma Ether to record the sounds of the electromagnetic field created by my modular rack into Morphagene while monitoring Morphagene's output - a sort of pseudo-feedback patch, if you will. Turned out quite interestingly, and now I have tons of reels worth of weird glitchy staticy sounds to mangle.

My kids playing, backyard noise, coffee shop noise, antique xylophone, guitar, piano, spoken word audio from video streams, drum machine.... I was going to get a second zoom (found one used cheap) but I ended up getting a mic level pre-amp module for cheap because I use my zoom h6 to record the output. You lose some of the depth with out the stereo, but you have more choices for microphones or inputs. The pre-amp also boosts instrument level (like electric guitar out) more cleanly than the morphagene (if that is what you are going for.. maybe you want a little hiss 😎).
