Hi everyone,

Today I would like to share some new jams I have just recorded.
Influences from the German techno scene.

More videos will soon be uploaded.
I plan to make Eurorack modules demos, and use other synthesizers that I own altogether.

Feel free to comment or contact me if you have any questions.

embedded links of above..just post them yt links like they are not using wrappers of the asex site

 

first one i like most

 

Nice man! Techno is far from my usual listening habits... Both tracks are crackers... Seeing the modular racks in action was enjoyable too!

Good work

 

how much did this set up cost ?

 

I am in love with this sound.

 

Thank you all for the kind comments.

It is about the price of a car. 13K €.

 

I would love to hear how these tracks would sound without kick and hats. You have developed some amazing sounds and I would like to listen to those. I understand this is German Techno and that's what German Techno does, but my inquisitive mind asks what would propel the track rhythmically without the percussive elements?
Allow me to reference Tangerine Dreams "Movements Of A Visionary" from Phaedra.

Hi Lenny,
Thanks for the interesting comment and reference to TD.
Besides percussions, it all depends on the subgenre you would like to hear/produce.

I personnally like tracks using chords and pads (especially glitched and granular textures) put in movement.
Movement is really easy to achieve and automate with modular, using envelopes generators and envelope modulators.

Delay and reverb also help to transform recorded loops into new ideas, supporting a song progression.
Without a beat, i assume it could be used for ambient stuff and drones that i also like a lot.

But for sure, percussion is the core element as techno should be enjoyed in clubs.
Let me know if you have any further comments. I wish you a nice day

 

Ah yes, of course, but I was listening to it in my home which bears little resemblance to a club and perhaps the listening needs of those not actually in clubs is something that could be considered. I am not suggesting ambient music and I don't think the tracks you posted would sound ambient, they would still be techno tracks but without the trademark and now, very, very old drum pattern. I made techno music from 1989 until 2007. I still love making electronic music but I find nothing new in hearing 4/4 kick, snare and hats. Tedious.

 

I would definitively upload some listen-at-home jams as well later.
right now its rather this modular machine which tells me what to do

 

Hell...... Yeah.....!!!!!

I´m raving on this!!!!!

This is what Techno is all about!!!

Man, I love this!!!

 

I've always been a fan of such equipment, but even today it is too expensive for me, sounds great

 

Love it! What I'd like even more is if you could tell us -maybe even live, wearing a headset- which knobs you're turning and what patches you've made.

 

Thanks, that is for sure a good idea, since people are often interested in setup explanations or tutorials.

On the other hand, I have always been looking for "no talking" videos, but i consider more and more getting some equipment to record both voice and video without hustle.

With better recording setup soon, it will be much more fluid to record patches from scratch.

 

Awesome stuff! I'm surprised you could find kick samples that could hang with das beef

 

Kick is not sample based, it is synthesized from the Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteritas Alter module which gives good results in few time.

I use samples for other drum elements, such as claps and cymbals as it sounds more natural. Will maybe try dedicated modules later (Mutant snare/clap/hats modules for example)

 

@crazydiamond487
Thanks for picking up on my idea! None talking vids are fine too, you could put the same info in subtitles or text popups, but that would probably be more work. But yeah, I'm really interested in how to get the most out of a modular system. To me, they're so much more appealing then a soft synth, and sound much better, too.

 

just uploaded a new one. patch is explained by text during the video. Cheers
