Holy smokes, Bryan! That was incredible. The most delicate, true, and poetic description of what it feels like to play modular as a generative system. Marvelous! You’ve captured the magic. Hats off to you, the Alchemist.

JP! Thank you! Coming from an educator such as yourself this really means a lot!

That was super nice! It feels good to have you talk about process, inspiration, control and boundaries. Great overview and structure for the journey into the unknown - a masterclass! 🙏

An absolute pleasure to watch, beautiful work as always. Thanks for sharing!

Ah man! that quote from Brian Eno went right in the feels! Brilliant Masterclass Bryan 👌❤️

I would legit pay for a series on this. Unreal.

Oh this is great! I really appreciate how earnest you are. You've got a way of sharing, teaching and listening that leaves me feeling grounded and inspired. ✨

I have just experienced a glance, an education, a revelation into this creative process. Many Thanks!

Love this!! New to modular synth and really hits home as to what I’m looking for.

Wow! Truly inspiring. Thanks for this gem of a lesson. You have a way of making something that seems so complicated so simple and user friendly. And your love for what you do is very evident in this video. Labor of love. Keep on!

Ah man that's a great articulation of one of the reasons modular is great, and a great insight into your process. Cheers!

Wow. Absolutely floored. What a journey! Thank you for sharing, this was a breath of fresh air!

This is beautiful man. I’m building my first modular system and it’s aimed at long form generative ambient music. This was super inspirational and on point from where I’m standing. Thank you for your contribution the this community.

Coming from the piano, it's been fun to try and let go of control in a sense. Setting up a simple process and seeing what happens. Absorbing it. And then playing with it. Great class!

Superb presentation. Thanks B!

What a wonderful explanation of an approach to modular 🙏👏

Generative is like meditation/prayer to me. Same when I'd get lost in the sound of my guitar and just play without thought of writing or composing anything. Just the pure act of interaction with music and sound itself. It's fundamental...visceral. And the embracing of the unknown without the preconceptions of how things are supposed to go...actually allowing the music to show itself to you and then you can interactively guide the journey together. True beauty...unadulterated. I look at music like a spirit...and she shows herself and speaks to us and beckons us to travel outside the smaller realms and exist on a spiritual plane

Love this!

That was so inspiring! I love your philosophy on music making. I've been considering going modular for a few years now and your video is probably the one that will make me pull the trigger ☺️

BRILLIANT Video!!! So well said, amazing thoughts & explanations! Thank You!!

I dig the correlation you made between the modular and improvising with other musicians. The same inspiration I got from jamming in an improv based band and having the sounds spur me to do other things is what the modular gives me and I love modular for that. Especially generative modular. It's magic the communication between myself and the modules...the interplay and reaction...the surprises and detours into places you wouldn't have known to go...or even considered until you heard it. And then you follow and you're being led somewhere by the sound itself. A relationship just as real as speaking with a person

starting something like this with a Sun Ra quote is so on point especially for modular synthesis. dope shit

So cool

Wow, totally brilliant teaching here. Brian Eno has been the center of my musical universe for decades, improv is my preferred way of creating. You've just tied it all together for me in a really inspiring way--this is why I'm so drawn to modular synthesis. Plus you've done such an amazing job of laying down the foundation blocks of how to compose with modular. I'm 100% interested in future online courses. Email list signed.

Is this a pentantonic scale? And would you say that these are most suited for this kind of music? Because i’ve noticed that if I use any other scales some notes become like uninvited guest that show up to dinner. Thanks for sharin’

@Lightbath

2 жыл бұрын

Haha. The major pentatonic omits the two more dissonant scale degrees from the major scale so when making generative music it can be helpful to limit the sets of notes that can appear together at any particular time. It takes some study and listening to grok what sorts of combos feel good together, but the best resource I’ve found to help guide some understanding of harmonic relationships is this book: lightbath.zone/harmonic-experience

Yes the magic happen with piano, it just take way more hard work n practice.

Ha. Bob Rossbath is always present in spirit. And Hosa has a color very close to Van Dyke Brown... and there are surely some happy little accidents-but there's no live-patching in this one. Instead, it's a new approach: a structured live-demonstration + powerpoint style class about my approach to music through modular synthesis.
